Apparatus and method for managing equipment

Abstract

The application provides a device and method for managing equipment, which can realize the out-of-band management of the equipment. The device comprises a memory and a processor, wherein the memory is used for saving instructions and data; the processor is connected with a second bus of a supplier management system through a first bus, the supplier management system is connected with the first equipment through the second bus, and the first equipment is the single-board peripheral equipment; and the processor is used for setting the address of the first bus as the address of the first equipment, acquiring a response message of the first equipment to an access request when receiving the access request of the supplier management system to the first equipment, acquiring the state information of the first equipment according to the response message, and saving the state information of the first equipment to the memory to ensure that a single-board management cell BMC acquires the state information of the first equipment from the memory and manages the first equipment according to the state information of the first equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the communication field, and more specifically, to an apparatus and method for managing devices. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of servers in the Internet, cloud desktops, and virtualization and user requirements, the server's input / output (Input / Output, IO) rate, bandwidth, and delay requirements are getting higher and higher. Wireless bandwidth (Infinite Band, IB) technology has obvious advantages in high speed, high bandwidth, and low latency, so high-performance computing (Highperformance computing, HPC) applications are widely used in some high-value fields, and more and more mainstream server suppliers provide IB solutions Program. [0003] However, IB's solutions are currently exclusive to the industrial supply chain. IB's management system is relatively closed. Peripheral devices such as optical modules on a single board can only be managed through in-band managemen...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, IB's solutions are currently exclusive to the industrial supply chain. IB's management system is relatively closed. Peripheral devices such as optical modules on a single board can only be managed through in-band management or the exclusive supplier's own management system. The status of peripheral devices such as optical modules cannot be seen outside the frame, that is, out of the band. Therefore, it affects the management of peripheral devices for customers
