[0002] Based on the characteristics of data centers, the service objects of data centers are divided into eight major configuration areas: application, platform, virtualization, computing, storage, network, security, and server room.

[0052] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0053] In this application, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0054] The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc. (if present) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments described herein can be implemented in a sequence other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0055] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of this invention, the technical terms appearing in this invention are explained as follows:

[0056] Asset data: Data generated before the resource delivery process.

[0057] Configuration data: Data generated after the resource delivery process.

[0058] A Configuration Item (CI) is an asset, service component, or other project that is or will be under configuration management. Configuration items can vary greatly in complexity, size, and type. It can be an entire service or system encompassing all hardware, software, documentation, and support personnel, or it can be a single software module or a small hardware component. Configuration items may be grouped together for management; for example, a series of components may be integrated into a single release.

[0059] As can be seen from the background technology, existing configuration management systems are not easy to query in relation to configuration data and asset data, and they also have a large number of model attributes, making them not concise enough.

[0060] Therefore, embodiments of the present invention provide a method, apparatus, and related equipment for the integrated management of asset data and configuration data. In this solution, after establishing asset models and configuration models based on physical devices, the asset model is planned to obtain asset data, and the configuration model is planned to obtain configuration data. The association mapping relationship between asset data and configuration data is established through the serial number of the physical device, thereby enabling the association query of asset data and configuration data based on the association mapping relationship, and thus enabling the separate management of asset models and configuration models.

[0061] like Figure 2The diagram shown is a flowchart illustrating an asset data and configuration data fusion management method provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0062] This method of integrating asset data and configuration data management is applied to the configuration management system.

[0063] The method for integrating and managing asset and configuration data mainly includes the following steps:

[0064] Step S201: Obtain multiple physical devices in any data center.

[0065] In step S201, the physical device is pre-set with a serial number.

[0066] In this embodiment of the invention, a physical device can be understood as a physical device class object.

[0067] In the specific implementation of step S201, as can be seen from the characteristics of data centers, the service objects of data centers are divided into applications, platforms, virtualization, computing, storage, networks, security and server rooms. Each service object is composed of multiple physical devices. Subsequent asset data and configuration data can be formed through physical devices. Therefore, it is necessary to first obtain multiple physical devices in any data center.

[0068] Step S202: For each physical device, establish an asset model and a configuration model respectively.

[0069] In the specific implementation step S202, for each acquired physical device, the types and quantities of physical devices required to establish the asset model and configuration model are first determined. Based on the types and quantities of physical devices required to establish the asset model, the asset model is established, and based on the types and quantities of physical devices required to establish the configuration model, the configuration model is established.

[0070] Step S203: Based on the purpose and function of the physical equipment, plan the asset model to obtain asset data.

[0071] In step S203, the physical devices include, but are not limited to, computing devices, storage devices, network devices, security devices, data center devices, and other dedicated devices, specifically including, but not limited to, switches and routers.

[0072] It should be noted that the purpose and function of physical devices, such as switches, are used to connect multiple devices, enabling them to communicate with each other on a network. They are network devices used for forwarding electrical (optical) signals.

[0073] In the specific implementation step S203, the purpose and function of each physical device are determined, and the asset model is planned according to the purpose and function of each physical device to obtain asset data.

[0074] Optionally, in one specific embodiment, multiple physical devices are divided into multiple asset categories according to their purpose and function to obtain asset data.

[0075] The asset categories include computing equipment, storage equipment, network equipment, security equipment, data center equipment, and other specialized equipment.

[0076] Each asset class has its own asset attributes.

[0077] It is understandable that multiple asset attributes form an asset category, multiple asset categories constitute an asset model, and the asset model stores asset data.

[0078] like Figure 3 The diagram shown illustrates an application scenario for asset model planning provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0079] exist Figure 3 Based on the purpose and function of the physical equipment, multiple physical devices are divided into multiple asset categories, namely, computing devices, storage devices, network devices, security devices, data center devices and other special-purpose devices, to obtain asset data.

[0080] Each asset class has its own asset attributes.

[0081] For example, the asset attributes set for data center equipment asset categories include, but are not limited to, serial numbers and card numbers.

[0082] Step S204: Based on the business characteristics of the data center, plan the configuration model to obtain configuration data.

[0083] It should be noted that data center operations have specific characteristics, such as: the data center security department is specifically responsible for the use and maintenance of security equipment, and the network department is specifically responsible for the use and maintenance of network equipment.

[0084] In the specific implementation step S204, the characteristics of each service in the data center are determined, and the configuration model is planned according to the characteristics of each service in the data center to obtain configuration data.

[0085] Optionally, in one specific embodiment, the configuration model is divided into multiple configuration domains according to the business characteristics of the data center to obtain configuration data.

[0086] The configuration areas include applications, platforms, virtualization, computing, storage, networking, security, and data centers.

[0087] The physical equipment configurations involved only cover computing, storage, networking, security, and data centers.

[0088] Each configuration item belongs to a configuration domain, each configuration item has configuration attributes, and each configuration item is associated with an asset class.

[0089] It is understandable that multiple configuration attributes form configuration items, multiple configuration items form configuration domains, multiple configuration domains constitute a configuration model, and the configuration model stores configuration data.

[0090] like Figure 4 The diagram shown illustrates an application scenario of a configuration model planning method provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0091] exist Figure 4 In this process, based on the business characteristics of the data center, the configuration model is divided into multiple configuration domains, namely: application, platform, virtualization, computing, storage, network, security and data center configuration domains, to obtain configuration data.

[0092] For example, in the field of data center configuration, each configuration item in a rack server has configuration attributes. For example, for the configuration item SAN storage, the corresponding configuration attributes include, but are not limited to, instance retrieval name and serial number.

[0093] Step S205: Establish a mapping relationship between asset data and configuration data using the serial number of the physical device.

[0094] In the specific implementation step S205, since the asset data consists of data corresponding to multiple asset categories and the configuration data consists of data corresponding to multiple configuration fields, the asset categories and configuration fields are associated and mapped through the serial number of the physical device. In other words, the associated and mapped relationship between asset data and configuration data can be established through the serial number of the physical device.

[0095] Optionally, step S205, which establishes the association mapping relationship between asset data and configuration data using the serial number of the physical device, mainly includes the following steps:

[0096] Step S11: Determine each asset class in the asset model and the configuration domain in the configuration model corresponding to the asset class.

[0097] Step S12: Establish the association mapping relationship between each asset category and the configuration domain in the configuration model corresponding to the asset category through the serial number of the physical device.

[0098] Optionally, step S12, which establishes the association mapping relationship between each asset category and the configuration domain in the corresponding configuration model using the serial number of the physical device, mainly includes the following steps:

[0099] Step S21: Establish the first mapping relationship between each asset class and the configuration domain in the configuration model corresponding to the asset class.

[0100] Step S22: Based on the first mapping relationship, determine the configuration items in the configuration domain of each device type in the asset category and the configuration model corresponding to the device type.

[0101] Step S23: Establish a second mapping relationship between each device type and the configuration items in the configuration domain of the configuration model corresponding to the device type, using the serial number of the physical device.

[0102] like Figure 5 The diagram shown illustrates an application scenario of the mapping relationship between an asset model and a configuration model provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0103] exist Figure 5 In this process, a mapping relationship is established between each asset category and its configuration domain. For each type of equipment under an asset category, there is an asset category to which it belongs and a corresponding configuration item. Each configuration item has a configuration domain to which it belongs.

[0104] Specifically, computing devices correspond to the computing field, network devices to the network field, storage devices to the storage field, security devices to the security field, other specialized equipment to the security field, and data center equipment to the data center field.

[0105] Taking network devices as an example, such as Figure 6 The diagram shown is an application scenario diagram illustrating the mapping relationship between device types and configuration items provided by an embodiment of the present invention, describing the mapping relationship between device types and configuration items under network device categories.

[0106] exist Figure 6 In the asset model, "device type" is an attribute of network devices, with values ​​such as "router, switch," etc. In the configuration model, "router, switch," etc., are independent configuration items within the network domain. The relationship between device type and configuration items is either many-to-one or one-to-one.

[0107] Specifically, based on the serial numbers of physical devices, mapping relationships are established sequentially between high-end routers under the network device category and routers under the network domain category, between low-end routers under the network device category and routers under the network domain category, between routers under the network device category and routers under the network domain category, between switches under the network device category and switches under the network domain category, and between load balancers under the network device category and load balancers under the network domain category.

[0108] Step S206: Based on the association relationship, determine the serial number of the associated asset data and configuration data, and query the asset data and configuration data based on the serial number.

[0109] In the specific implementation step S206, based on the association relationship, the serial number of the physical device associated with the asset data and configuration data is determined. The serial number of the physical device is used to determine whether the physical device is the same device. If it is the same device, the asset data and configuration data are queried based on the serial number of the physical device.

[0110] For example, taking a switch as an example, such as Figure 7 The diagram shown illustrates an application scenario for a correlation query of asset data and configuration data provided in an embodiment of the present invention, demonstrating the correlation query method.

[0111] exist Figure 7 In the process, asset data of the switch can be obtained in the asset model, and configuration data of the switch can be obtained in the configuration model. The serial number of the switch in the asset model and the serial number of the switch in the configuration model are determined. After determining that the switch in the asset model and the switch in the configuration model are the same device, the asset data and configuration data are combined through the serial number as a common attribute and provided to the downstream system.

[0112] Based on the above description, in this embodiment of the invention, the asset model and configuration model are managed separately, rather than directly adding asset attributes and configuration attributes to each configuration item, making the configuration item attributes more concise. Asset data and configuration data are queried via serial number association, eliminating the need for cross-system or cross-database queries, resulting in more comprehensive and faster data acquisition.

[0113] This invention provides a method for fusion management of asset data and configuration data. The method involves acquiring multiple physical devices in any data center, each with a pre-set serial number. For each physical device, an asset model and a configuration model are established. The asset model is planned according to the device's purpose and function to obtain asset data. The configuration model is planned according to the data center's business characteristics to obtain configuration data. An association mapping relationship is established between the asset data and configuration data using the physical device's serial number. Based on this association relationship, the serial numbers of the associated asset data and configuration data are determined, and the asset data and configuration data are queried based on these serial numbers. In this solution, after establishing asset and configuration models for each physical device, the asset model is planned to obtain asset data, and the configuration model is planned to obtain configuration data. An association mapping relationship is established between the asset data and configuration data using the physical device's serial number, thereby enabling the querying of associated asset data and configuration data based on this association mapping relationship, and ultimately achieving separate management of the asset model and configuration model.

[0114] Corresponding to the asset data and configuration data fusion management method shown in the above embodiments of the present invention, the present invention also provides an asset data and configuration data fusion management device, which is applied to a configuration management system, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the asset data and configuration data fusion management device includes: an acquisition module 801, a model building module 802, an asset model planning module 803, a configuration model planning module 804, an association mapping establishment module 805, and an association query module 806.

[0115] The acquisition module 801 is used to acquire multiple physical devices in any data center.

[0116] Among them, the physical devices are pre-set with serial numbers.

[0117] The model building module 802 is used to build an asset model and a configuration model for each physical device.

[0119] The configuration model planning module 804 is used to plan the configuration model based on the business characteristics of the data center and obtain configuration data.

[0120] The association mapping establishment module 805 is used to establish an association mapping relationship between asset data and configuration data through the serial number of physical devices.

[0121] The associated query module 806 is used to determine the serial number of associated asset data and configuration data based on the association relationship, and to query the asset data and configuration data based on the serial number.

[0122] Optionally, based on the above Figure 8 The asset model planning module 803 shown is specifically used for:

[0123] Based on the purpose and function of the physical equipment, multiple physical devices are divided into multiple asset categories to obtain asset data.

The configuration domains for physical devices are limited to computing, storage, networking, security, and data centers. Each configuration item belongs to a configuration domain, each configuration item has configuration attributes, and each configuration item is associated with an asset category.

[0128] Optionally, based on the above Figure 8 The association mapping establishment module 805 shown includes:

[0129] The determination unit is used to determine each asset class in the asset model and the configuration domain in the configuration model corresponding to the asset class.

[0130] The establishment unit is used to establish an association mapping relationship between each asset class and the configuration domain in the configuration model corresponding to the asset class, based on the serial number of the physical device.

[0132] The first sub-unit is used to establish the first mapping relationship between each asset class and the configuration domain in the configuration model corresponding to the asset class.

[0134] The second establishment subunit is used to establish a second mapping relationship between each device type and the configuration items in the configuration domain of the configuration model corresponding to the device type, based on the serial number of the physical device.
