Problems solved by technology

It is a tedious and time-consuming job to configure RAID for a large number of new servers in the computer room. Generally, RAID configuration needs to be performed on the BIOS interface, and most methods of automatic RAID configuration require OS system network, and the prerequisite for OS installation is RAID needs to be configured
This contradiction greatly restricts the deployment efficiency of a large number of servers in the computer room

Embodiment 1

[0035] The invention discloses a method for automatically configuring a server RAID, which completes the automatic configuration of the server RAID through a BMC network without manually entering a BIOS interface and without requiring a system network.

[0036] Such as figure 1 As shown, the method specifically includes the following steps:

[0037] S1: Log in to the BMC remotely to obtain login information;

[0038] In this step, the remote control machine can log in to the BMC through the Redfish interface, and the obtained login information is the TOKEN value, so that in the next step, the BMC can be accessed according to the TOKEN value.

[0039] S2: Access the BMC according to the obtained login information to obtain RAID configuration information;

[0040] In this step, access the BMC according to the TOKEN value, and then obtain RAID configuration information through the Redfish interface and the corresponding URL path.

[0041] The obtained RAID configuration inform...

Embodiment 2

[0050] Such as figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a device for automatically configuring server RAID for implementing the method described in Embodiment 1. The device includes:

[0051] (1) Remote login module: used to remotely log in to the BMC and obtain login information;

[0052] It should be noted that the remote login module logs in to the BMC through the Redfish interface, and the login information obtained is the TOKEN value.

[0053] (2) Configuration information acquisition module: used to access BMC according to the obtained login information and obtain configuration information;

[0054] It should be noted that the configuration information acquisition module acquires configuration information through the Redfish interface and the corresponding URL path; the acquired RAID configuration information includes the RAID card model, the number of hard disks, and the hard disk capacity.

[0055] (3) RAID configuration module: used to perform RAID configuration...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a device for automatically configuring a server RAID, and the method comprises the steps: firstly remotely logging in a BMC, and obtaining login information; Accessing the BMC according to the obtained login information, and obtaining RAID configuration information; And finally, carrying out RAID configuration on the server according to the obtained RAID configuration information. According to the method and the system, the configuration of the RAID of the server is completed by remotely logging in and accessing the BMC without manually entering a BIOS interface or a system network, so that the test and maintenance time of the server is greatly saved, and the test and maintenance efficiency of the server is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of server configuration, in particular to a method and device for automatically configuring server RAID. Background technique [0002] At present, big data technology is developing more and more rapidly, and the requirements for data reliability are also getting higher and higher. In order to ensure data reliability, the servers in the computer room generally use multiple hard disk groups in RAID. It is a tedious and time-consuming job to configure RAID for a large number of new servers in the computer room. Generally, RAID configuration needs to be performed on the BIOS interface, and most methods of automatic RAID configuration require OS system network, and the prerequisite for OS installation is RAID needs to be configured. This contradiction greatly restricts the deployment efficiency of a large number of servers in the computer room. Contents of the invention [0003] In order to solve the above problems, th...
