Embodiment Construction

[0033] The present invention provides a method for improving the reliability of the IPMI management software, customizing the IPMI group extension protocol, realizing automatic link detection after the server management module is powered on, online monitoring of the IPMI link status information and the basic operating status of the server, and When the chassis management software fails or the IPMB bus fails, the health status information is regularly submitted to the host computer to ensure that even if the management module is in failure, the server health status is still under monitoring, including non-IPMI group extension protocol definition modules and non-IPMI Group extension protocol message handler module.

[0034] Among them, the non-IPMI group extended protocol definition module includes the statement and definition of the automatic link detection protocol GetLinkState, and the protocol SendBoardHealthInfo based on the serial port or network port to send the health sta...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for improving the reliability of IPMI management software. After the chassis is powered on, the chassis management module Shelf Manager of the IPMI management softwareand the IPMC modules of all blades are powered on, and the chassis management module uses shell script language to control the load of the managed blades to be powered on in sequence; Then, the ATCABoard managed blade sends the request of link state information to the chassis management module Shelf Manager according to the user-defined IPMI group extension protocol through two IPMB buses to judge the link; When it is detected that the link between the case management software and the managed blade is normal, the normal IPMI message communication is carried out, the request of the receiver case management software is analyzed and the corresponding response message is replied according to the request message, and at the same time, the abnormal situation of the managed blade is reported tothe case management software actively through the event message. The invention improves the reliability of the IPMI management software, improves the fault maintenance efficiency of the server, and ensures the continuous and stable operation of the server.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of server management, and in particular relates to a method for improving the reliability of IPMI management software. Background technique [0002] The intelligent platform management interface (IPMI, Intelligent Platform Management Interface) with open standards is widely used in the internal health management of the server system chassis, which has important functions such as device management, sensor status monitoring, user management, fan, power management, and remote maintenance. [0003] Although the traditional IPMI management software technical solution adopts a dual-redundant structure, which improves the reliability of the IPMI management software to a certain extent, there are still problems such as low stability and easy loss of control. When the chassis management module fails or the dual-redundant IPMB bus When all failures occur, the operating status of the managed blades cannot be provided t...
