Communication method and system based on IPMI system health management middleware, medium and equipment

Abstract

The invention provides a communication method and system based on IPMI system health management middleware, a medium and equipment. The method comprises the following steps: an internal information acquisition step; an acquired information marking step; a unit information summarizing step: the unit BMCs are communicated with one another through an IPMB bus; the master BMC periodically sends an IPMI request to each slave unit and request to acquire information of information parameter packets of each unit, the acquired information parameter packets are summarized to a master BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) from each unit according to a standard IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) response message format, and the information is packaged according to an appointed format byhealth management software of the master BMC to acquire summarized information packet information; and a health information reporting step: the main BMC health management software encapsulates the summarized information packet into IPMILAN information according to an NET protocol, and periodically sends the IPMILAN information to an upper application in the form of a UDP message. The IPMI-based system management and control middleware is formed by adopting a standard communication protocol, so that system transplantation is facilitated, and the development period is shortened.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an integrated supervision system, in particular to a communication method, system, medium and equipment based on IPMI system health management middleware, especially to a system management middleware based on IPMI protocol. Background technique [0002] In a highly integrated development environment, the functions provided by the system are gradually enriched, but the sensitivity to abnormal event response is gradually reduced. Once a system failure occurs, recovery will be difficult. The board-level management controller (BMC) mainly serves for system monitoring and system abnormal reporting, and monitors the health status of the system by collecting information such as temperature, voltage, and current in the board. Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) is a standard used in the design of system management systems, and has been widely used in system health monitoring systems. Before the introduction of IPM...
