Method and system for monitoring and managing self-developed board card by BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) and related equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses a method, a system and related equipment for monitoring and managing a self-developed board card by a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller). The method comprises the following steps of: S1, arranging a read-only memory on the board card to store PN (Pseudo Noise), SN (Serial Number) and SlaveAddress of the board card; s2, detecting whether the BMC adds the board card or not; if yes, S3, judging whether the board card is powered on or not; and S4, reading the PN, the SN and the SlaveAddress of the board card, which are stored in the read-only memory, if the read-only memory is the read-only memory. Different PNs and SNs are distributed to the self-developed board cards, the PNs and the SNs are stored in a read-only memory, write protection is started, after a server is started and powered on, a BMC dynamically knows the specific positions and specific SlaveAddress of the board cards and distinguishes which type and which board card, then dynamic monitoring management is carried out, the BMC is compatible with the self-developed board cards of various types and various positions, and the self-developed board cards of various types and various positions are compatible. And the BMC firmware is not customized independently for each shipment configuration, so that the use flexibility is improved, and the research and development cost and the use cost of the BMC are reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of BMC technology, in particular to a method, system and related equipment for monitoring and managing self-developed boards of BMC. Background technique [0002] The rapid development of the Internet has also brought prosperity to the server market. A large number of data storage and calculations require servers to complete. Large-scale websites require a huge number of servers. These servers are generally customized for different customers, in terms of software or hardware, such as the number of hard disks and PCIE cards for different functions. Not the same, this will require BMC to be compatible with multiple self-developed boards, and the same type of boards may have different models. [0003] Therefore, how to reduce the cost of using self-developed boards and improve their adaptability is one of the priorities of those skilled in the art. Contents of the invention [0004] The purpose of the present invent...
