Method and device for starting KVM

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a device for starting a KVM, and the method comprises the steps: inputting a preset format which directly uses the KVM in a browser, and enabling a front end to obtain page information reserved in the browser, wherein the page information comprises jump contents; the front end skipping a page according to the skipping content, and using a default login name anda password to log in and inquire information; and directly starting the KVM through the skipped page and the inquired information. According to the technical scheme, a user can directly operate the KVM at least conveniently.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of servers, in particular to a method and device for enabling KVM. Background technique [0002] After the server is deployed in the data center, since the actual control space is far away from the data center, it is unrealistic to directly connect the server with a monitor for visual operation, so in most cases, the KVM (keyboard, monitor, mouse) of the BMC (baseboard controller) is used to To perform remote visualization operations, this process usually requires logging in to the BMC first, and opening the KVM through the connection provided by the BMC. The process is cumbersome. In most cases, it is not necessary to read the data of the BMC, but you must log in to the BMC first to use the KVM. [0003] There are currently two solutions for using BMC to open the KVM function. The first is to use the JavaKVM provided by BMC to download the JNLP file first, and then use the Java environment to open a...

Problems solved by technology

Both methods must first log in to the BMC. Although the safe operation of the server is guaranteed to a certain extent, in most cases, this method of logging in first and then using KVM is unnecessary.

In the process of logging in to the BMC, a large amount of data that the user does not care about will be passively received, and the user's request may only be to confirm the current running status of the server through KVM, and will not use the BMC to manage the server, thus causing Meaningless time consumption and manual consumption of server operation and maintenance personnel

[0004] A similar solution in the prior art is to use the StandaloneAPP in the Java environment to operate. This solution is also accessed through the JavaKVM of the BMC in essence, which is limited by the Java environment. The terminal using the APP must have the Java At the same time, it is necessary to copy a separate APP as an application program of the terminal. From the perspective of future development, it does not conform to the trend of BS architecture. It will also be affected by the impact of different software versions, which greatly reduces the user experience. , and it does not save the time cost of the operation and maintenance personnel to maintain the server operation

[0005] In the currently used technologies, whether it is the Java-based KVM or the H5-based KVM, you must first log in to the BMC management system of the server through a browser, which cannot meet the demands of the operation and maintenance personnel who only need to know the running status of the server. It also needs to passively receive a lot of information that is not of concern, and after logging in to the BMC, it needs to interact with the BMC continuously. For the demands of the operation and maintenance personnel, the interaction of these data is meaningless, so waste of resources and time

[0006] As a sub-function of BMC, KVM fundamentally depends on the management function of BMC for servers, which determines that KVM cannot be used independently of BMC.

The appeal of the operation and maintenance personnel is to quickly understand the running status of the current server. This appeal is likely to simply glance at the monitor to understand which stage the current server is running. However, the current BMC system cannot cope with this appeal, but must It is very troublesome to log in through BMC, find the entrance of KVM, and then open KVM to achieve the initial purpose, which is undoubtedly superfluous

Unless KVM can be used as a separate function, and this needs to be realized by opening the data interface of BMC, this method is unacceptable for BMC in terms of security, otherwise there will be data leakage or data loss in the data center , resulting in irreparable damage
