BMC restart log recording method and device

Abstract

The invention discloses a BMC restart log recording method. The method comprises the steps: setting and storing a restart reason of a BMC and a corresponding information value; after the BMC is powered on each time, if the BMC is powered on for the first time at present, setting the attribute value of the mark assembly in the system to which the BMC belongs as a default value; if the BMC is not powered on for the first time, reading an attribute value of a mark component in a system to which the BMC belongs; determining a restart reason corresponding to the numerical value of the attribute value of the mark component, recording the restart reason as log information, and modifying the attribute value of the mark component into a default value; and in the working process of the BMC, if a restart triggering condition occurs, according to a pre-stored corresponding relation between a restart reason and the information value, adjusting the attribute value of the mark component into a corresponding information value. According to the method, the BMC restarting reason can be clearly positioned, and the fault processing process of the system to which the BMC belongs is simplified. The invention further discloses a device based on the method, BMC equipment and a computer readable storage medium.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of BMC restart, in particular to a BMC restart log recording method. The present invention also relates to a device based on the above method, a BMC device and a computer-readable storage medium. Background technique [0002] BMC (Baseboard Management Controller, server processor or baseboard management controller) is a dedicated chip / controller, which is the heart of the IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) system; in the IPMI management platform, the system management software The management of each managed device is realized by communicating with the BMC. [0003] BMC does not depend on the server's processor, BIOS or operating system to work. It has its own firmware, power supply, MAC address and network interface, and is an agentless management subsystem that runs independently in the system. The main function of the BMC is to automatically monitor platform system management events, and re...

[0005] However, in the current BMC SEL log, only the BMC startup log is recorded; at the same time, the operation log under the BMC system only records the running status at that time, and cannot give feedback on the reason for the BMC restart; and the PSU-related information log can only identify whether the power supply is running abnormally.

Therefore, based on the current log types, it is difficult for engineers to locate the specific reason for the restart of the BMC, and it is not easy to deal with the restart caused by the fault in a timely manner.
