Embodiment 1

[0085] This embodiment takes the operation and control of the hard disk indicator light as an example to further describe in detail. image 3 The hard disk indicator light control method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, such as image 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a hard disk indicator control method, including:

[0086] Step 301, when the BMC Web interface triggers a hard disk indicator lighting request, the BMC updates the local cache file of the hard disk indicator to the on state, and the BMC locally saves the first indicator cache file for caching the status information of the hard disk indicator;

[0087] Step 302, the indicator light control module regularly (for example 5 seconds) polls BMC by IPMI OEM order, obtains hard disk indicator status information from the first indicator buffer cache file, comprises the indicator status of all hard disks;

[0088] Step 303, the indicator light control module compares the hard dis...

Abstract

The invention discloses a server and an indicator light control method. The server comprises a baseboard management controller (BMC) and an indicator light control module; through predetermined instructions of an intelligent platform management interface original equipment manufacturer (IPMI OEM), the BMC communicates with the indicator light control module, and the IPMI OEM instructions are used for informing the indicator light control module to control the state of each indicator light; the indicator light control module is connected with the indicator lights of the server and used for controlling the state of each indicator light according to the IPMI OEM instructions. According to the technical scheme, communication interaction of self-defining data between an operating system of the server and the BMC is achieved by means of the IPMI OEM instructions, the effectiveness and accuracy of data interaction can be insured, and normal operation of a whole system is guaranteed; meanwhile, the difficulty of operation and maintenance of the server is relieved through remote control over the indicator lights of the server.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to cloud computing data center technology, in particular to a server and an indicator light control method. Background technique [0002] In the era of cloud computing, the operation and maintenance of the data center is the most important thing to ensure the normal operation of the data center. With the trend of data center computer rooms becoming larger and larger, the difficulty and complexity of operation and maintenance work is also increasing. In data center operation and maintenance work, staff often need to judge the specific location and status of a hard disk, network card or power supply by observing the server indicator lights. However, at present, the data center does not provide a method for automatically controlling the indicator lights of the servers. Contents of the invention [0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a server and a control method for indicator light...
