A method for obtaining the monitoring information of server nodes in the whole cabinet

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for obtaining the monitoring information of server nodes in the whole cabinet. The specific implementation process is as follows: setting the hardware part, in the server of the whole cabinet composed of several server nodes, each server node has a built-in BMC chip, Install the centralized monitoring and management unit RMC and the node mid-board in the cabinet server; add the OEM command module to the BMC; define the specific data format of the BMC OEM CMD module of the node, that is, the OEM command adopts the CMD module format, and supports multiple CMD modules to obtain at the same time and sending; the node mid-board sends OEM CMD module data to the BMC to obtain node information; the RMC obtains node information from the node mid-board for real-time monitoring and heat dissipation control. Compared with the prior art, this method for obtaining server node monitoring information of the whole cabinet simplifies the communication process between the node BMC and the node mid-board, and the node mid-board can obtain a large amount of data from the node BMC at one time, especially the real-time change information , which is of great benefit to improving the system response time and has strong practicability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to a method for obtaining monitoring information of server nodes of a whole cabinet with strong practicability. Background technique [0002] With the development of computer technology, rack servers are more and more widely used in practical applications, especially in large data centers. Rack information is generally managed and monitored centrally by RMC (Rack Management Controller). In the whole cabinet server system, each layer (generally 4U) of server nodes is connected to the node middle board through I2C, and each layer of the node middle board in the whole cabinet is connected to the upper layer centralized monitoring and management system RMC through I2C. The node mid-board sends commands to the BMC of each node on the current layer to obtain node information, and the RMC sends commands to the node mid-board of each layer to indirectly obtain node monitoring information....

Problems solved by technology

However, the problem with the standard IPMI command is that the data format contains less information, and the node mid-board needs to obtain more information from the node, so the node mid-board must send many IPMI commands to the BMC to obtain node information, resulting in two The interaction efficiency of the user is low. For the real-time change information needed for cooling strategies such as CPU temperature, memory temperature, and air inlet temperature, the cooling effect of the entire cabinet is often poor due to the slow speed of information acquisition and untimely data collection. The fan wall and node power consumption cannot be effectively reduced
