BMC and BIOS asset information decoupling method, system and device

Abstract

The invention provides a BMC and BIOS asset information decoupling method, system and device; the method comprises the steps: determining an external equipment configuration mode of a server, and obtaining external equipment configuration information of the server; writing a burning tool according to the external equipment configuration information of the server; writing the external equipment configuration information of the server into a nonvolatile storage space of a server mainboard through a burning tool; acquiring external equipment configuration information of the server from the nonvolatile storage space, and writing the external equipment configuration information into the shared memory; enabling the BMC to acquire the PCIE equipment information according to external equipment configuration and dynamically loading a physical location information table; performing thread monitoring and information acquisition on the PCIE equipment; and regulating and controlling the PCIE equipment according to the obtained PCIE equipment information. According to the method, the BMC does not depend on the BIOS to push the asset information any more, the external equipment configuration mode of the server is classified, the information is written into the storage space which is not prone to being lost, and the information is directly obtained by the BMC, so that the obtaining speed is increased, and the error rate is reduced.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer technology, and more particularly to a decoupling method, system, and apparatus for BMC and BIOS asset information. Background technique [0002] BMC (Baseboard Management Controller, Substrate Management Controller) As the server's management controller, the management and control of the server can be implemented, including the temperature point monitoring, peripheral monitoring, heat dissipation, etc. in the server motherboard. Among the peripherals, the PCIe equipment occupies a large part, the main PCIe equipment includes network cards, GPU cards, RAID cards, acceleration cards, MOC cards and other devices. BMC needs to monitor information of these devices, including bandwidth, operating rate, temperature, and so on. The temperature information is very important, the BMC will set the fan speed for different temperatures, so that the external card works at a suitable temperature, otherwise the periph...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] This implementation method is highly coupled between the BMC and the BIOS. When the system cannot be turned on or the asset information sent by the BIOS is incorrect (for example, the card or bandwidth is dropped), the BMC cannot obtain normal asset information, and the PCIE device The monitoring cannot be carried out normally, resulting in the inability to obtain static information and dynamic information of PCIE. After the temperature is out of control, the PCIE device will not work normally.
