BMC setting strategy updating method and device

Abstract

The invention provides a BMC setting strategy updating method and device. The BMC setting strategy updating method comprises the following steps: establishing an information table of hardware combinations, and configuring a heat dissipation strategy for each combination in the information table; uploading the information table and the heat dissipation strategy to a server; responding to a receivedrequest for updating the heat dissipation strategy of the client, and obtaining updated hardware combination information contained in the request; retrieving in an information table according to theupdated hardware combination information; transmitting a heat dissipation strategy matched with the updated hardware combination information to the client; and executing the matched heat dissipation strategy to complete updating of the BMC by the client. By using the BMC setting strategy updating method provided by the invention, the management of software and hardware of the server can be controlled through data interaction and analysis, and the introduction of a heat dissipation strategy is realized, and the power consumption of the system is optimized, so that the purposes of energy conservation and emission reduction are achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] This field relates to the computer field, and more specifically relates to a method and device for updating BMC setting policies. Background technique [0002] With the increase of users' computing demands on computers, the types of devices are becoming more and more abundant, the demands of users are increasing, and the heat dissipation requirements of the same server are also increasing. The server monitoring management chip (BMC) has an out-of-band management function. The existing heat dissipation strategy parameters are all solidified in the BMC code, and the heat dissipation speed is adjusted during the BMC operation; if the heat dissipation engineer modifies the parameters of the heat dissipation strategy, the BMC needs to be modified. Firmware and modify the BMC code synchronously. The heat dissipation strategies on the servers of different projects are different, resulting in different heat dissipation parameters of different server models. I...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The heat dissipation strategies on the servers of different projects are different, resulting in different heat dissipation parameters of different server models. It is impossible to update the heat dissipation parameter configuration file to the server that does not correspond to the model or hardware, which may cause poor heat dissipation or overheating of the server. Downtime reduces the cooling performance of the server
