Embodiment Construction

[0089] The JBOD device with BMC module and its control method of the present invention will be further described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments of the present invention.

[0090] refer to figure 1 , is a schematic connection diagram of the first embodiment of the present invention. The present invention discloses a Just a Bunch Of Disks (JBOD) device 1 (hereinafter referred to as the JBOD device 1 ) with a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) module. The JBOD device 1 is used for each Do not connect multiple hard drives5. In the present invention, the JBOD device 1 is a JBOD device 1 using a serial small computer system interface (Serial Attached SCSI, SAS), but it is not limited thereto.

[0091] In this embodiment, the JBOD device 1 can be connected to the host 2 mainly through a cable supporting the SAS format. When a user operates the host 2 , the plurality of hard disks 5 respectively connected to the JBOD device 1 can be acces...

Abstract

The invention discloses a JBOD device with a BMC module. The JBOD device mainly comprises a hard disk expansion control unit, a switching unit and a BMC module. The hard disk expansion control unit is connected with a number of hard disks. The switching unit is connected with the hard disk expansion control unit and a port to turn on a first transmission channel, or is connected with the hard disk expansion control unit and the BMC module to turn on a second transmission channel. The BMC module is connected with an Ethernet network through a network port. In the initial case, the hard disk expansion control unit receives an external wired transmission instruction through the first transmission channel. When the BMC module receives the external instruction transmitted through the Ethernet network, the switching unit is controlled to switch on the second transmission channel. The BMC module can interact with the hard disk expansion control unit through the instruction received through the Ethernet network.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a hard disk aggregation (Just a Bunch Of Disks, JBOD) device, in particular to a JBOD device with a baseboard management controller (Baseboard Management Controller, BMC) module. Background technique [0002] The number of ports used to connect hard disks on the motherboard of a host (such as a personal computer or server) is quite limited, generally only about 10 ports, so the host can only be connected to limited hard disks. In this case, there will be a phenomenon that the number of hard disks that can be connected cannot meet the needs of users. [0003] Hard disk aggregation (JBOD) equipment is equipped with more hard disk ports (generally about 24 ports), which can be used to connect a large number of multiple hard disks. Therefore, when the user has a huge hard disk usage requirement, the host computer is usually connected to the JBOD device through a cable, so as to expand and connect additional hard disks thro...
