Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of servers, and in particular to a method, device, electronic device and medium for acquiring information of a Retimer card. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development and widespread application of artificial intelligence technology, AI (Artificial Intelligence) servers, as an important infrastructure to support AI applications, are also experiencing increasing market demand. Compared with traditional server architectures, AI server architectures are often more complex, so Retimer cards are generally deployed in AI servers. Retimer cards are mainly used to enhance PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard) signals to ensure data integrity during long-distance transmission or in complex environments. At present, multiple Retimer cards are generally deployed on AI servers, and the long-term stable operation of Retimer cards is a strong guarantee for AI services.

[0003] In the related art, the temperature of the Retimer card is monitored in real time through the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller). When the temperature is high, the BMC controls the fan of the server to increase the speed to dissipate heat, so as to prevent the Retimer card from being too hot and unable to operate normally. However, by only monitoring and controlling the temperature of the Retimer card, the monitored information is relatively single, and the real-time operation information of the Retimer card cannot be fully monitored, resulting in the inability to ensure the long-term stable operation of the Retimer card. Therefore, how to fully obtain the real-time operation information of the Retimer card and ensure the long-term stable operation of the Retimer card is a problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0045] Compared with traditional server architecture, AI server architecture is often more complex, so Retimer cards are generally deployed in AI servers. Retimer cards are mainly used to enhance PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard) signals to ensure data integrity during long-distance transmission or in complex environments. At present, multiple Retimer cards are generally deployed on AI servers, and the long-term stable operation of Retimer cards is a strong guarantee for AI services.

[0046] In the related art, the temperature of the Retimer card is monitored in real time through the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller). When the temperature is high, the BMC controls the fan of the server to increase the speed to dissipate heat, so as to prevent the Retimer card from being overheated and unable to operate normally. However, by only monitoring and controlling the temperature of the Retimer card, it is impossible to fully monitor the real-time operation information of the Retimer card, resulting in the inability to ensure the long-term stable operation of the Retimer card. Therefore, how to fully obtain the real-time operation information of the Retimer card and ensure the long-term stable operation of the Retimer card is a problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0047] Based on the above content, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for obtaining Retimer card information, which is applied to a baseboard management controller. Specifically, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the method for obtaining Retimer card information provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps: S10. In response to the start-up of the management controller, the configuration information corresponding to the information collection configuration file of the Retimer card is stored in the shared memory of the management controller.

[0048] The information collection configuration file is used to record multiple configuration information of the Retimer card; the configuration information includes: whether to collect information of each Retimer card and the collection frequency of each Retimer card information.

[0049] The management controller is used to monitor and manage hardware devices or software systems. According to different application scenarios, the management controller can be divided into multiple types. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the management controller can be a baseboard management controller BMC. BMC is a management controller unique to the server. It monitors the temperature, voltage, fan, power supply, etc. of the device components on the server and makes corresponding adjustments to ensure that the server is in a healthy state.

[0050] Specifically, the baseboard management controller includes an information configuration module and an information collection module. The information configuration module is used to store the configuration information corresponding to the information collection configuration file of the Retimer card into the shared memory of the management controller. The configuration file is used to record multiple configuration information of the Retimer card; the configuration information includes: whether to collect the information of each Retimer card and the collection frequency of each Retimer card information.

[0051] In some special cases, for example, the Retimer card of some manufacturers is very stable, and there is no need to do a comprehensive real-time detection of the Retimer card information, and only some information needs to be collected. Therefore, the collection status of different information of the Retimer card can be set, such as enabling or disabling collection. In addition, since different information has different changing frequencies, some information changes in real time, while some information changes only when the version is updated, different collection frequencies can be set for different information.

[0052] S20. In response to the management controller receiving an information collection command input by the user, the management controller collects multiple Retimer card information in real time according to the configuration information stored in the shared memory, and stores the multiple Retimer card information in a target database.

[0053] The target database may be, but is not limited to, a remote dictionary service database.

[0054] Specifically, the information collection configuration file is used to store configuration information, that is, whether to collect each Retimer card information and the collection frequency of each Retimer card information. The configuration information is stored in the shared memory, which can reduce I / O operations, and the memory access speed is faster than the disk access speed, which can achieve fast reading and updating. In addition, the configuration information is stored in the shared memory, which can be conveniently updated in real time. Multiple processes or threads can access and modify the configuration information in the shared memory at the same time without re-reading the configuration file. In response to the management controller receiving the information collection command input by the user, multiple Retimer card information is collected in real time according to the configuration information stored in the shared memory, and the multiple Retimer card information is stored in the target database.

[0055] The Retimer card information acquisition method provided by the disclosed embodiment, in response to the startup of the management controller, stores the configuration information corresponding to the information acquisition configuration file of the Retimer card into the shared memory of the management controller, and in response to the management controller receiving the information acquisition command input by the user, collects multiple Retimer card information in real time according to the configuration information stored in the shared memory, and stores the multiple Retimer cards into the target database. Since the configuration information includes whether to collect each Retimer card information and the collection frequency of each Retimer card information, multiple information of the Retimer card can be fully collected in real time according to the configuration information, avoiding the problem that the monitored Retimer card information is relatively single and the real-time operation information of the Retimer card cannot be fully monitored by only monitoring and controlling the temperature of the Retimer card. The real-time operation information of the Retimer card can be fully monitored through the configuration information, and the long-term stable operation of the Retimer card can be ensured. In addition, storing the configuration information in the shared memory can reduce I / O operations, and the memory access speed is faster than the disk access speed, which can achieve fast reading and updating.

[0056] Optionally, the multiple Retimer card information includes: dynamic information and static information of the Retimer card; the dynamic information is used to indicate the running status of the Retimer card; the static information is used to indicate the product parameters of the Retimer card; the dynamic information includes: the real-time temperature of the Retimer card, the connection status of the link, the statistical information of different channels, the in-place status of different ports and the number of reset times of the Retimer card; the static information includes: the manufacturer type, the product model, the product serial number and the firmware version.

[0057] Specifically, the real-time temperature of the Retimer card is an important indicator for monitoring its operating status. Excessive temperature may affect the performance and stability of the card. When the temperature exceeds the threshold, you need to check the fan module, ambient temperature, or clear the blockage. The link connection status of the Retimer card can be monitored in many ways. If the link connection status is abnormal, you may need to check the various stages of the link initialization process. The statistical information of different channels of the Retimer card includes data transmission volume, error rate, number of retransmissions, etc. This information can help diagnose the health status of the link. The in-place status of different ports of the Retimer card can be determined by monitoring the in-place signal of the port. The number of resets of the Retimer card is an important indicator for monitoring its stability and health status. Too many resets may indicate that the link connection is unstable or there is a hardware problem. If the number of resets is abnormal, you need to check the initialization process and hardware connection of the Retimer card.

[0058] As the management controller of the server, BMC generally monitors the temperature of the Retimer card in real time. When the temperature is high, BMC will control the server fan to increase the speed to dissipate heat, so as to prevent the Retimer card from being overheated and unable to operate normally. However, if the temperature of the Retimer card is only monitored and controlled by BMC, the monitored information is relatively single, which cannot fully reflect the actual operating status of the Retimer card, and cannot guarantee the long-term stable operation of the Retimer card. Since the configuration information includes whether to collect the information of each Retimer card and the collection frequency of each Retimer card information, the dynamic information and static information of the Retimer card can be fully collected in real time according to the configuration information, so as to realize comprehensive monitoring of the real-time operating information of the Retimer card and ensure the long-term stable operation of the Retimer card.

[0059] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the above step S10 (storing the configuration information corresponding to the information collection configuration file of the Retimer card into the shared memory of the management controller in response to the startup of the management controller) can be implemented by the following steps: S21. In response to the start-up of the management controller, clear the shared memory of the management controller.

[0060] S22: Check whether the information collection configuration file exists in the preset path.

[0061] If there is an information collection configuration file under the preset path, execute steps S23-S24; if there is no information collection configuration file under the preset path, execute steps S25-S26.

[0062] S23. Read first configuration information from the information collection configuration file.

[0063] S24. Store the first configuration information in the shared memory of the management controller.

[0064] Specifically, taking the management controller as a baseboard management controller as an example, when the baseboard management controller is started, the shared memory of the baseboard management controller is first reset, and the baseboard management controller checks whether there is an information collection configuration file under the preset path according to the preset configuration file name, and the information collection configuration file stores a pre-set first configuration information. If the information collection configuration file exists, the first configuration information is read from the information collection configuration file, and then the first configuration information is stored in the shared memory of the baseboard management controller.

[0065] Exemplarily, the first configuration information can be set as follows: real-time temperature of the Retimer card, enable collection, and the collection frequency is 1 second; link connection status, enable collection, and the collection frequency is 10 seconds; channel 1 data transmission volume, enable collection, and the collection frequency is 2 seconds; channel 1 retransmission number, enable collection, and the collection frequency is 5 seconds; channel 1 in-position status, enable collection, and the collection frequency is 6 seconds; reset number, enable collection, and the collection frequency is 10 seconds; firmware version, enable collection, and the collection frequency is 1 day; manufacturer type, enable collection, and the collection frequency is 1 day, etc.

[0066] S25. Create a target information collection configuration file based on preset configuration conditions, and read second configuration information from the target information collection configuration file; S26. Store the second configuration information in the shared memory of the management controller.

[0067] Specifically, taking the management controller as a baseboard management controller as an example, when the baseboard management controller is started, the shared memory of the baseboard management controller is first reset, and the baseboard management controller checks whether the information collection configuration file exists under the preset path according to the preset configuration file name. If the information collection configuration file does not exist, a target information collection configuration file is created based on preset configuration conditions. The preset configuration conditions can be understood as default configuration information, and the second configuration information is read from the target information collection configuration file, and the second configuration information is stored in the shared memory of the baseboard management controller.

[0068] Exemplarily, the second configuration information can be set as follows: real-time temperature of the Retimer card, enable collection, and the collection frequency is 500 milliseconds; link connection status, enable collection, and the collection frequency is 5 seconds; channel 1 data transmission volume, enable collection, and the collection frequency is 1 second; channel 1 retransmission number, enable collection, and the collection frequency is 5 seconds; channel 1 in-position status, enable collection, and the collection frequency is 2 seconds; reset number, enable collection, and the collection frequency is 10 seconds; firmware version, enable collection, and the collection frequency is 1 day; manufacturer type, enable collection, and the collection frequency is 1 day, etc.

[0069] It is understandable that storing the configuration information (i.e., the first configuration information or the second configuration information in the embodiment of the present disclosure) in the shared memory can reduce I / O operations, and the memory access speed is faster than the disk access speed, which can achieve fast reading and updating. In addition, the configuration information is stored in the shared memory, which can be easily updated in real time, and multiple processes or threads can access and modify the configuration information in the shared memory at the same time without re-reading the configuration file.

[0070] In some embodiments, after executing the above step S10 (storing the configuration information corresponding to the information collection configuration file of the Retimer card into the shared memory of the management controller in response to the startup of the management controller), the following steps may also be executed: In response to the management controller receiving a configuration modification command input by a user, updating the configuration information stored in the shared memory; The information collection configuration file of the Retimer card is updated according to the configuration information stored in the shared memory.

[0071] The configuration modification command includes a first interface command or a second interface command, the first interface command is used to modify at least one configuration information included in the first configuration information; the second interface command is used to modify at least one configuration information included in the second configuration information.

[0072] Optionally, in response to the management controller receiving a first interface command input by a user, the first configuration information stored in the shared memory is updated. According to the first configuration information stored in the shared memory, the information collection configuration file of the Retimer card is updated.

[0073] Optionally, in response to a second interface command input by a user from the management controller interface, the second configuration information stored in the shared memory is updated. According to the second configuration information stored in the shared memory, the target information collection configuration file of the Retimer card is updated.

[0074] The first interface command and the second interface command may both be Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) commands, which are standardized interfaces for monitoring and managing server hardware. Through this interface, system administrators can remotely manage and monitor servers at any location. That is, the configuration information of one or more Retimer card information may be modified through IPMI commands.

[0075] Specifically, in response to the startup of the management controller, the first configuration information or the second configuration information is stored in the shared memory of the management controller. In response to the management controller receiving a first interface command input by a user, the first configuration information stored in the shared memory is updated, and the information collection configuration file of the Retimer card is updated according to the first configuration information stored in the shared memory. In response to the management controller receiving a second interface command input by a user, the second configuration information in the shared memory is updated, and the target information collection configuration file of the Retimer card is updated according to the second configuration information stored in the shared memory.

[0076] When the baseboard management controller is restarted, the information in the shared memory is reset, but the information in the configuration file is retained to facilitate re-reading after the baseboard management controller is started.

[0077] Exemplarily, in response to a first interface command input by a user, the first configuration information stored in the shared memory is updated. For example, the configuration information corresponding to the real-time temperature of the Retimer card included in the first configuration information: enable collection, the collection frequency is 1 second, is modified to: enable collection, the collection frequency is 500 milliseconds. Alternatively, the configuration information corresponding to the real-time temperature of the Retimer card included in the first configuration information: enable collection, the collection frequency is 1 second, is modified to: enable collection, the collection frequency is 500 milliseconds; and, the connection status of the link included in the first configuration information: enable collection, the collection frequency is 10 seconds, is modified to enable collection, the collection frequency is 5 seconds, etc.

[0078] Exemplarily, in response to the second interface command input by the user, the second configuration information stored in the shared memory is updated. For example, the configuration information corresponding to the real-time temperature of the Retimer card included in the second configuration information: enable collection, the collection frequency is 500 milliseconds, is modified to: enable collection, the collection frequency is 300 milliseconds. Alternatively, the configuration information corresponding to the real-time temperature of the Retimer card included in the first configuration information: enable collection, the collection frequency is 500 milliseconds, is modified to: enable collection, the collection frequency is 300 milliseconds; and the connection status of the link included in the first configuration information: enable collection, the collection frequency is 5 seconds, is modified to enable collection, the collection frequency is 2 seconds, etc.

[0079] In the disclosed embodiment, when it is necessary to update the collection frequency of the Retimer card information or to set to disable / enable collection, the user is allowed to send the set configuration information to the baseboard management controller through the intelligent platform management interface command, and the baseboard management controller updates the shared memory and configuration file after receiving the configuration information. In this way, it is convenient to manage the configuration file of the Retimer card and it is convenient for the user to modify the configuration information of each Retimer card information.

[0080] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the above step S20 (in response to the management controller receiving the information collection command input by the user, collecting multiple Retimer card information in real time according to the configuration information stored in the shared memory, and storing the multiple Retimer card information in the target database) can be implemented as follows: S31. In response to the management controller receiving an information collection command input by a user, the management controller initializes the attribute variables of the dynamic information and static information of the Retimer card and updates them to the target database.

[0081] S32: Detect whether the Retimer card is in place according to the integrated circuit bus.

[0082] If the Retimer card is in place, the software development kit of the Retimer card is determined, that is, steps S33 to S35 are executed. If the Retimer card is not in place, the Retimer card information is not collected.

[0083] S33, reading the device identification of the Retimer card.

[0084] The device identifier of the Retimer card may be a VendorID, which is a 16-bit identifier used to uniquely identify a device manufacturer and is used to distinguish different hardware vendors. The identifier is allocated by a special interest group PCI-SIG.

[0085] S34: Determine the manufacturer type of the Retimer card according to the device identification of the Retimer card.

[0086] S35: Determine a software development kit for the Retimer card according to the manufacturer type of the Retimer card.

[0087] S36. Based on the software development kit of the Retimer card, according to the configuration information stored in the shared memory, collect dynamic information and static information of the Retimer card, and update them into the target database.

[0088] Specifically, corresponding attribute variables are defined for the dynamic information and static information of the Retimer card, for example, the attribute retimer1.temp represents the temperature of Retimer card 1. When the baseboard management controller is started, the value of the Retimer card attribute variable is initialized to -1 or an empty string, indicating that the Retimer card information has not been collected and updated to the target database. According to the I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) link of the Retimer card, it is detected whether the Retimer card is in place. If the Retimer card is not in place, the Retimer card information is not collected. If the Retimer card is in place, the device identification of the Retimer card is read through the integrated circuit bus, and then the manufacturer type is determined according to the device identification of the Retimer card. According to the manufacturer type of the Retimer card, the software development kit of the manufacturer of the Retimer card is determined. According to the configuration information, based on the software development kit of the Retimer card, the dynamic information and static information of the Retimer card are collected and updated to the target database. Assuming that there are multiple Retimer cards, the dynamic information and static information of the Retimer cards are collected through the respective software development kits SDK of the manufacturers, and updated into the target database.

[0089] In some embodiments, the above step S32 (detecting whether the Retimer card is in place according to the integrated circuit bus) can be implemented as follows: Sending a read command to the Retimer card via the integrated circuit bus; If the Retimer card returns the device identification of the Retimer card in response to the read command, it is determined that the Retimer card is in place.

[0090] Specifically, the baseboard management controller is connected to the Retimer card through the integrated circuit bus, and then sends a read command to the Retimer card through the integrated circuit bus. If the Retimer card responds to the read command and returns the device identification of the Retimer card, it is determined that the Retimer card is in place.

[0091] Under the wave of artificial intelligence, multiple Retimer cards are generally deployed on AI servers today, and the long-term stable operation of Retimer cards is a strong guarantee for AI services. When a Retimer card fails, the relevant technology uses the SDK tool provided by the Retimer card manufacturer to collect the operation information of the Retimer card for further diagnosis and analysis. However, there are two problems: first, different Retimer card manufacturers have their own SDK tools, and the operation methods are not uniform for users, which is very inconvenient to use; second, when a serious failure occurs in the Retimer card, the operation information cannot be collected through the manufacturer's SDK tool, which further leads to the inability to analyze the cause of the problem. Therefore, in the case of multiple Retimer card manufacturers, how to provide users with a unified operation interface to comprehensively obtain the real-time operation information of the Retimer card, so that users can predict potential problems in advance and take effective treatment measures to ensure the long-term stable operation of the Retimer card is a technical problem that technicians in this field need to solve.

[0092] In view of the above problems, the embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for obtaining Retimer card information. Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the method for obtaining Retimer card information provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps: S41. In response to the start-up of the management controller, the configuration information corresponding to the information collection configuration file of the Retimer card is stored in the shared memory of the management controller.

[0093] The configuration information includes: whether to collect information of each Retimer card and the collection frequency of information of each Retimer card.

[0094] S42: In response to the management controller receiving the information collection command input by the user, the management controller collects multiple Retimer card information in real time according to the configuration information stored in the shared memory, and stores the multiple Retimer card information in a target database.

[0095] S43. In response to the information acquisition command received by the management controller, the dynamic information and static information of the Retimer card are acquired from the target database based on the redfish interface.

[0096] The redfish interface is used to obtain information of multiple Retimer cards of multiple servers; and the management controller is installed on each of the multiple servers.

[0097] Specifically, for different Retimer card manufacturers, a unified redfish interface for Retimer card information is provided to users to normalize user operations. That is, the redfish interface can be used to obtain multiple Retimer card information of multiple servers, and the multiple servers can all be installed with the management controller. The management controller can be a baseboard management controller.

[0098] Optionally, the above step S43 (in response to the information acquisition command received by the management controller, acquiring multiple Retimer card information from the target database based on the redfish interface) can be implemented by the following steps: (1) In response to the information acquisition command received by the management controller, the interface type of the redfish interface is acquired.

[0099] The interface types include: a dynamic information acquisition interface and a static information acquisition interface.

[0100] (2) According to the interface type, the target interface processing function is called to read the dynamic information and static information of the Retimer card from the target database.

[0101] Specifically, when the redfish interface is called, the baseboard management controller first checks which interface type is called, and then executes the interface processing function corresponding to the interface type. In the interface processing function, the dynamic information and static information of the Retimer card are read from the target database, and then returned to the user in a preset data format. For example, the preset data format can be JSON (JavaScript Object Notation, a lightweight data exchange format).

[0102] Optionally, the above step S43 (obtaining the dynamic information and static information of the Retimer card from the target database based on the redfish interface) can be implemented in the following two ways: Method 1: In response to the management controller receiving the target uniform resource locator input by the user, the dynamic information and static information of the Retimer card are obtained from the target database based on the redfish interface.

[0103] The information acquisition command carries a target uniform resource locator, and the target uniform resource locator includes a target path for acquiring dynamic information and static information of the Retimer card.

[0104] Specifically, the method not only supports the user to manually obtain the dynamic information and static information of the Retimer card from the target database through the redfish interface, but also obtains the dynamic information and static information of the Retimer card from the target database based on the redfish interface in response to the target URL address input by the user.

[0105] Method 2: In response to the management controller receiving the periodic access operation of the target monitoring application to the target database, the dynamic information and static information of the Retimer card are obtained based on the redfish interface.

[0106] Specifically, the method also supports the automatic and regular calling of the redfish interface by the monitoring system to obtain the dynamic and static information of the Retimer card. The user can set the regular calling of the redfish interface on the target monitoring application, and obtain the dynamic and static information of the Retimer card based on the redfish interface in response to the periodic access operation of the target monitoring application to the target database.

[0107] In the disclosed embodiment, Redfish provides users with a unified interface for obtaining information, which greatly simplifies user operations and improves user experience. It supports users to automatically obtain Retimer card information on a regular basis through the monitoring system, predict potential problems that may occur in advance, and take effective processing measures to ensure the long-term stable operation of the Retimer card.

[0108] The Retimer card information acquisition method provided by the disclosed embodiment, in response to the startup of the management controller, stores the configuration information corresponding to the information acquisition configuration file of the Retimer card into the shared memory of the management controller, and in response to the management controller receiving the information acquisition command input by the user, collects multiple Retimer card information in real time according to the configuration information stored in the shared memory, and stores the multiple Retimer cards into the target database. Since the configuration information includes whether to collect each Retimer card information and the collection frequency of each Retimer card information, multiple information of the Retimer card can be fully collected in real time according to the configuration information, avoiding the problem that the monitored Retimer card information is relatively single and the real-time operation information of the Retimer card cannot be fully monitored by only monitoring and controlling the temperature of the Retimer card. The real-time operation information of the Retimer card can be fully monitored through the configuration information, and the long-term stable operation of the Retimer card can be ensured. In addition, storing the configuration information in the shared memory can reduce I / O operations, and the memory access speed is faster than the disk access speed, which can achieve fast reading and updating. Redfish provides users with a unified interface for obtaining information, greatly simplifying user operations and improving user experience; it supports users to automatically obtain Retimer card information through the monitoring system, predict potential problems in advance, and take effective measures to ensure the long-term stable operation of the Retimer card. Through real-time monitoring of the dynamic and static information of the Retimer card, and providing a unified Redfish interface for users to automatically collect Retimer card information, the accuracy and timeliness of the information obtained by users are ensured, providing a strong guarantee for the long-term stable operation of the Retimer card and avoiding unnecessary losses.
