Embodiment Construction

[0029] For ease of understanding, the following explanations are made to some nouns appearing in the present invention:

[0030] BMC: Baseboard Management Controller (Baseboard Management Controller), in the server system, we usually use BMC to monitor and manage the health status of the motherboard. Some important parameters on the motherboard such as voltage, temperature, power consumption, etc. are all passed through the BMC monitoring records.

[0031] NCSI: NCSI (Network Controller Sideband Interface) is an industry standard defined by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) to support server out-of-band management sideband interface network controllers. A management controller and multiple network controllers. DMTF has defined complete Ethernet-based control command request and response standards for NCSI. In addition, NCSI also has mechanisms such as single thread and timeout retransmission.

[0032] Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and embodiment, ...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of storage system monitoring management, and discloses a redundancy design method for controller monitoring management in a storage system. The method comprises the steps that a baseboard management controller on a controller mainboard is connected to different network interface cards by using an NCSI dual link; the baseboard management controller sends information to an external management unit by using the NCSI dual link and the network interface cards; and an NCSI dual link network supported by the baseboard management controller is run by using an A-A or A-S redundancy policy. The invention also discloses a redundancy design apparatus for controller monitoring management in a storage system. The system comprises an NCSI dual link sharing module, an information transmission module, and a monitoring management policy running module. According to the method and system of the invention, NCSI dual link sharing is realized, so that reliability of controller monitoring management is improved in case that a network interface card or an external management unit is faulty.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of storage system monitoring and management, in particular to a redundant design method and device for controller monitoring and management in a storage system. Background technique [0002] In the current data center deployment, disk arrays are widely used. In order to improve the high availability of storage devices, the number of controllers on the data link has been developed from dual controllers to multiple controllers, and a redundant design has been implemented on the entire path. On the other hand, humanized and intelligent management of massive data has become a major demand, and has increasingly become a hot spot in storage management. In the face of increasing system reliability requirements, users not only expect full redundancy of data paths, but also hope that monitoring and management can also achieve redundant design and hot replacement. [0003] In the past, general-purpose disk array sys...
