[0038] The core of the present application is to provide a device management method and related components, and timely send device information to the host, so that users can obtain device information through the host, which is more convenient to use and improves the experience.

[0039] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the following will combine the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0040] Figure 1 A flow chart of a device management method provided by the present application, applied to a management device in a switch, the method comprising:

[0041] S11: receiving device information sent by the device management device, the device information comprising the connection relationship between the device and the switch;

[0042] After the power-on of the GPU and the SSD and other devices, the management device in the device will collect device information, the device information comprising the connection relationship between the device and the switch, and the connection relationship is sent to the management device of the switch through the network.

[0043] In addition, the device information further comprises the in-place situation of the device, such as the device in place or the device not in place, and the manufacturer information of the device.

[0044] S12: determining the connection relationship between the switch and the host;

[0045] S13: determining the connection relationship between the device and the host according to the device information and the connection relationship between the switch and the host;

[0046] The management device of the switch determines the connection relationship between the switch and the host, and then determines the connection relationship between the device and the host in combination with the connection relationship between the device and the switch.

[0047] It should be noted that the switch is connected with multiple devices, and the switch is connected with multiple hosts. The corresponding relationship between the device and the host is determined by the connection relationship between the switch and the host and the connection relationship between the switch and the device.

[0048] S14: sending the updated device information to the host when the connection relationship between the device and the host changes.

[0049] In view of the prior art, the host usually only collects the supported device information during the whole cabinet startup process, and feeds back the device information to the user in the GUI (Graphical User Interface) of the management device. When the user needs to obtain the device information again, the whole cabinet needs to be restarted to obtain the device information again, which brings great inconvenience to the user.

[0050] The management device of the switch provided in the present application re-sends the updated device information to the host when the connection between the device and the host changes.

[0051] For example, when the device is replaced in the cabinet, the switch obtains the updated device information and sends the updated device information to the BMC of the corresponding host. After obtaining the updated device information, the BMC of the host triggers an NMI interrupt. The BIOS of the host responds to the NMI interrupt, executes an interrupt processing function, and sends the device information that needs to be supplemented to the BMC of the host. Then, the BMC updates the device information of the device connected thereto, so as to realize the timely acquisition of the host when the device information of the device is replaced.

[0052] In addition, the interaction protocol between the BMC and the BIOS includes but is not limited to the IPMI protocol or the transmission of data through shared memory.

[0053] The application provides a management method of a device, applied to the field of Internet, receiving device information sent by a management device of the device, the device information comprising a connection relationship between the device and a switch; determining a connection relationship between the switch and a host; determining a connection relationship between the device and the host according to the device information and the connection relationship between the switch and the host; and sending updated device information to the host when the connection relationship between the device and the host changes. The management device of the switch obtains the connection relationship between the device and the host through the connection relationship between the switch and the device and the connection relationship between the switch and the host, and sends the device information to the host in time, so that the user can obtain the device information through the host, which is more convenient to use and improves the experience.

[0054] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments:

[0055] As a preferred embodiment, the device information further comprises a transmission rate, a transmission bandwidth, a transmission bus number, a device number and a function number of the device.

[0057] Receiving the connection relationship between the device and the switch, the transmission rate, the transmission bandwidth, the transmission bus number, the device number and the function number of the device sent by the management device of the device.

[0058] The management device of the device will send the device information to the management device of the switch, the device information comprising the type of the device, for example, the device is an SSD or a CPU or a GPU; the rate and bandwidth of the device in the process of transmitting data; the transmission bus number, the device number and the function number of the device.

[0059] The above-mentioned device information can facilitate the user to use the device, and the management device of the switch sends the device information to the host after obtaining the device information, so that the user can view.

[0060] As a preferred embodiment, after receiving the device information sent by the management device of the device, the method further comprises:

[0061] Determining the working state of the device according to the device information, the working state comprising a normal working state and an abnormal working state;

[0062] Sending the device information and the working state of the device to the host.

[0063] The switch can determine the working state of the current device according to the device information, for example, the current transmission rate of the device does not reach the preset transmission rate, which proves that the current device does not reach the expected working state, so the working state is the abnormal working state.

[0064] The current state of the device is determined through the device information, which facilitates the user to confirm the device and use it subsequently.

[0065] As a preferred embodiment, after determining the connection relationship between the device and the host according to the device information and the connection relationship between the switch and the host, the method further comprises:

[0066] The device information is sent to the host according to the connection relationship between the device and the host, so that the host displays the device information in the display module of the host.

[0067] After the management device of the switch sends the device information and the device state to the BMC of the host, the BMC of the host synchronizes them to the display module of the host, thereby dynamically updating the host and improving user experience.

[0068] Specifically, the display module can be a web interface or a GUI interface, which is not limited herein.

[0069] As a preferred embodiment, the connection relationship between the switch and the host is determined, comprising:

[0070] The connection relationship between the uplink interface of the switch and the host is determined, and the uplink interface of the switch is connected with the host.

[0071] Considering that the switch is connected with multiple hosts, the uplink interface of the switch is used for connection with the host, so the connection relationship between the switch and the host is determined as the connection relationship between the uplink interface of the switch and the host.

[0072] After the connection relationship between the switch and the host is determined, the connection relationship between the device and the host can be determined in combination with the connection relationship between the device and the switch, and then the device information is timely updated.

[0073] As a preferred embodiment, before determining the connection relationship between the device and the host according to the device information and the connection relationship between the switch and the host, the method further comprises:

[0074] The mapping relationship between the uplink interface and the downlink interface of the switch is determined, and the downlink interface of the switch is connected with the device.

[0075] The connection relationship between the device and the host is determined according to the device information and the connection relationship between the switch and the host, comprising:

[0076] The connection relationship between the device and the host is determined according to the connection relationship between the device and the switch, the connection relationship between the uplink interface of the switch and the host, and the mapping relationship between the uplink interface and the downlink interface of the switch.

[0077] Considering that the switch is connected with multiple devices, the downlink interface of the switch is used for connection with the device, so the connection relationship between the switch and the device is determined as the connection relationship between the downlink interface of the switch and the device. In addition, the mapping relationship between the uplink interface and the downlink interface inside the switch also needs to be acquired by the management device of the switch.

[0078] In summary, the connection relationship between the device and the host is realized through the connection relationship between the device, the downlink interface of the switch, the uplink interface of the switch and the host, and when the device information of the device is changed, the changed device information is synchronized to the host in time, so that the user can view it subsequently.
