Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of servers, and particularly relates to a remote management type firmware development method for a server fan control strategy based on a baseboard management controller (BMC). The remote management type firmware development method for the server fan control strategy based on the BMC comprises the following steps that server fan strategy information set by clients is obtained through the BMC; the information is gathered into data and applied to a fan control module, and the information is displayed on BMC management web pages; and the speed of a fan is adjusted through a duty ratio value which is output according to the data. According to the remote management type firmware development for the server fan control strategy based on the BMC, the effect of autonomous definition on firmware by the clients and the mode of centralized development are truly achieved, and developers do not need to design different firmware for each client and testers also do not need to test multiple customized firmware for clients with the standard release version; and operation and maintenance costs are greatly reduced, meanwhile, the server maintenance efficiency is improved, and the server stability is enhanced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the server field, in particular to a BMC-based server fan control strategy remote management firmware development method. Background technique [0002] At present, BMC is used for remote monitoring and management on mainstream servers. At present, a server manufacturer usually faces the heat dissipation requirements of various customers. When developing these server fan control requirements, it will meet every customer requirement. Re-develop and customize a BMC firmware, which is troublesome for both customers and developers. Even when there are more and more customer-customized versions, the development and maintenance work requires a lot of manpower, and customers need to spend extra If there is a large amount of funds to customize these functions, R&D testers need to spend more energy to test the stability of the customized version, which is difficult to manage and maintain and affects the stability of the server. [0003]...
