Problems solved by technology

This method provides an automatic location tracking method, but the limitations of IP allocation are not suitable for multi-tenant data centers, because multi-tenant data centers introduce software-defined networking and virtual networks

Embodiment Construction

[0049] The principle and spirit of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to several exemplary embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these implementations are described only to enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement the present disclosure, but not to limit the scope of the present disclosure in any way.

[0050] In order to determine the location of the server, it first needs to be clear which server in the data center the server is. In other words, the server's identifier needs to be determined. As described in the background art, a data center can generally determine a server through PaaS, IaaS, Hypervisor, Container, etc., that is, determine an identifier of the server. Typically, such identifiers include Media Access Control (MAC) addresses, IP addresses, and the like. Note that the embodiments of the present disclosure generally do not limit the types of identifiers, that is, the e...

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a method and device for determining server locations of a data center. The method comprises the steps of establishing a relationship between a rack unit in which each server of the data center is located and a port of a switch; and determining the rack units of the servers according to the ports of the switches connected with the servers and established relationships. The method also comprises the steps of determining the locations of the racks in which the servers are located according to relative locations of the switches connected with the servers and multiple reference points.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to data centers, and more particularly to methods and apparatus for determining server locations of data centers. Background technique [0002] Location tracking is an important feature of modern data center management, especially in large-scale data centers. Location tracking can optimize the system maintenance process. Most monitoring tools can notify system administrators when virtual appliances or physical appliances go down. Based on this, location tracking can be used to determine the location of the server and then maintain it. Additionally, location tracking can be used for intelligent workload distribution. Considering factors such as workload balance and disaster isolation, services of the same type can be allocated to different geographical locations. [0003] Modern data centers are often able to track application issues to servers through Platform as a Service (PaaS), Infrastructur...
