A method and apparatus for hardware management

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and apparatus for hardware management, which are used for solving the problem that a unified protocol standard cannot be adopted to realize graphic management hardwarefunctions of a plurality of pieces of hardware in the prior art. According to the embodiment of the invention, a repeater determines an initialization parameter of a graphic management function corresponding to a hardware identifier according to the hardware identifier to start the graphic management function of the hardware, and returns the connection information of the standard remote management access protocol to the user. According to the embodiment of the invention, the repeater comprises the binding relationship between the hardware identifier and the initialization parameter of the graphic management function of the hardware. Auser can execute an image management function on a plurality of hardware through a service process corresponding to a standard remote graphic management protocol by adopting the repeater. The user does not need to be forced to use a private graphic management client of an OEM manufacturer, the hardware management efficiency of the user is improved. Meanwhile, sensitive information such as an account password of hardware management cannot be exposed, and the safety of hardware management is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to a hardware management method and equipment. Background technique [0002] General enterprise-level and some personal computing, network, and storage devices will use an embedded operating system to manage the hardware of the electronic device itself in the face of increasingly complex user needs. Currently, OEM (Original Equipment Manufacture , original equipment manufacturers) manufacturers for enterprise-level physical hardware, such as x86 servers, networks, and storage devices, will have their own graphical management functions for out-of-band management to facilitate administrators or users to manage physical hardware more conveniently. [0003] In the prior art, the flow of the graphics management hardware function of the hardware manufacturer is as follows: figure 1 As shown, and the overall implementation of graphics management hardware functions can be roughly classif...
