Out-of-band management switching device and method, and server

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention relates to the technical field of out-of-band management, and discloses an out-of-band management switching device and method, and a server. The device comprises a substrate controller, a first switch module and a second switch module; the first end of the first switch module is connected with a network connection state indicator NCSI interface of the substrate controller; the second end of the first switch module is connected with the first end of the second switch module; the third end of the first switch module, the second end of the second switch module and the third end of the second switch module are respectively connected with an out-of-band device; the first control end of the substrate controller is connected with the control end of the first switch module, and the second control end of the substrate controller is connected with the control end of the second switch module. Compared with the prior art in which an arbitration mechanism is used to select out-of-band equipment for connection, the operation pressure of the substrate controller is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of out-of-band management, and in particular to an out-of-band management switching device, method, and server. Background technique [0002] At present, out-of-band management is a management method based on hardware. Through out-of-band management technology, operating costs can be reduced, operation efficiency can be improved, downtime can be reduced, and service quality can be improved. Therefore, out-of-band management is widely used in the field of Internet technology. Make the Internet more stable and secure. like figure 1 As shown, it is an out-of-band management switching device in the related art, including: a baseboard controller (Baseboard Management Controller, BMC) 101 arranged in a server, three out-of-band devices 102; BMC101 includes a network connection status indicator ( Network Controller Sideband Interface, NCSI) interface, the interface is respectively conn...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, the arbitration mechanism needs the software programs in the server to cooperate with each other, which will increase the burden on the processing capacity of the server; When it needs to be replaced, it is necessary to stop the communication between the BMC and the out-of-band device to perform the replacement, which affects the process of server out-of-band management
