Embodiment 1

[0030] At present, the traditional server management mainly uses the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) protocol for management. The inventors of the present application found that the IPMI protocol is mainly for general server management, and it has no clear definition for the management of the whole cabinet server. Therefore, the inventor of the present application proposes to expand the IPMI command on the basis of the traditional IPMI command, that is, newly define the IPMI OEM command, which is used for the monitoring and management of the power supply module of the cabinet server to effectively realize the acquisition and information reading of the power supply information of the cabinet server, thereby improving Entire rack server power management efficiency.

[0031] Based on the above ideas, this application proposes a power management method for rack servers, the implementation process of which is as follows: figure 1 shown, including the following step...

Abstract

The invention discloses a power management method and device for a rack server, and belongs to the field of rack servers. The method comprises the following steps that the rack server adopts a centralized power supply mechanism, and utilizes multiple power supply modules to provide an inside rack with power, wherein each power supply module is connected to a rack management controller (RMC), and comprises multiple program storage units (PSU); the RMC utilizes a predefined command of an intelligent platform management interface (IPMI) to monitor and manage the power supply modules, wherein the predefined command of the IPMI comprises at least one or more of the following commands: an information acquiring command and an information arrangement command of the power supply modules. The technical scheme of the power management method and device for a rack server improves the power management efficiency of the whole rack server.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of cabinet servers, and in particular relates to a power management method and device for cabinet servers. Background technique [0002] As users' performance requirements for computers increase, users' requirements for servers are increasing. Compared with traditional servers, full rack servers have great advantages in terms of node density and total cost of ownership (TCO), and are more and more widely used in practice. The cabinet server adopts a centralized power supply mechanism and a centralized management mechanism. There is a unified power module inside the cabinet. The output of the power module is directly connected to the copper bar behind the cabinet. The nodes of the cabinet server are powered by the copper bar. The cabinet server has the function of unified management and control center to monitor and manage the cabinet server information. However, since the power module of the server in the whole rack...
