[0002] With the continuous development of Internet technology, users need more and more server equipment to deploy Internet services. However, the actual operating power of server equipment differs greatly from its rated power.

Attached Figure Description

[0045] To more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, the drawings used in the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, for those who are not skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0046] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a cabinet equipment control method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0047] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples, so that the process of how the present invention uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve corresponding technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly. The embodiments of the present invention and the various features therein can be combined with each other without conflict, and the resulting technical solutions are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a cabinet equipment control method, including the following steps S101 to S105:

[0049] Step S101: Obtain the sampled operating power sequence of the devices to be installed, arranged from low to high operating power.

[0050] The equipment to be racked refers to IT devices such as servers, switches, or routers that will be placed in the rack for operation. These IT devices all have a rated operating power, which is the power provided by the manufacturer during operation. However, in practice, the actual operating power of the IT device is often less than the rated operating power provided by the manufacturer. This is because the rated operating power provided by the manufacturer is the operating power of the IT device under full load operation. In actual application, the IT device does not operate at full load most of the time, so its actual operating power is less than the rated operating power most of the time. Therefore, the first step is to obtain a sampled operating power sequence of the equipment to be racked, arranged from low to high operating power. For example, if the equipment to be racked is a server, the actual operating power is collected every hour throughout the day. The resulting sampled operating power sequence, arranged from low to high, is, for example, [410W, 420W, 420W, 440W, 440W…480W]. This sampled operating power sequence contains 24 operating power data points, representing the operating power of the equipment to be racked at each hour of the day, arranged from low to high.

[0051] Step S102: Obtain the safety factor of the equipment to be installed.

[0052] The security factor of a device to be listed indicates its importance. The higher the security factor, the more important the device. For example, the security factor of a router is 75%, that of a server is 80%, and that of a switch is 90%.

[0053] Step S103: Calculate and obtain the first sequence number based on the sampled operating power sequence and the safety factor of the equipment to be installed.

[0054] The first serial number is calculated using the following formula:

[0055] i=n*K

[0056] Where i is the first sequence number, n is the number of sampling operating power sequences of the equipment to be installed, and K is the safety factor of the equipment to be installed;

[0057] For example, if the device to be installed is a server, its sampling operating power sequence has 24 data points, and its safety factor is 80%, then the first sequence number is 24 * 80% = 19.2.

[0058] Step S104: Determine whether the first sequence number is an integer.

[0059] For example, when the device to be listed is a server, its first sequence number is 19.2, which is not an integer. When the device to be listed is a router, its first sequence number is 18, which is an integer.

[0060] Step S105: Calculate and obtain the first operating power of the device to be installed based on the sampled operating power sequence and the first sequence number.

[0061] If the first sequence number is an integer, the first operating power of the equipment to be installed is calculated using the following formula:

[0062] P=( + ) / 2

[0063] Where P is the first operating power of the equipment to be installed. This refers to the operating power numbered first in a sampled operating power sequence arranged from low to high. The operating power is the next one in the first sequence number of the sampled operating power sequence arranged from low to high.

[0064] For example, if the 18th operating power in the sampling operating power sequence of the device to be racked is 450W and the 19th operating power in the sampling operating power sequence of the device to be racked is 460W, then the first operating power of the device to be racked is (450W+460W) / 2=455W. The first operating power represents the reference operating power of the device to be racked. Since the first number is obtained based on the safety factor of the device to be racked, and the sampling operating power sequence of the device to be racked is arranged from low to high, the larger the safety factor of the device to be racked, the larger the first operating power of the device to be racked calculated according to the above formula. This means that the more important the equipment, the larger its first operating power. When the device to be racked is running at the first operating power, its safety is relatively high. At the same time, since it has not reached the rated operating power, it is equivalent to increasing the available operating power of the rack.

[0065] Step S106: Obtain the second sequence number by rounding up the first sequence number.

[0066] If the first sequence number is not an integer, then the second sequence number is obtained by rounding up the first sequence number. For example, if the first sequence number is 19.2, then the second sequence number is 20 by rounding up the first sequence number.

[0067] Step S107: Calculate and obtain the first operating power of the device to be installed based on the sampled operating power sequence and the second sequence number.

[0068] For example, the first operating power of the equipment to be installed can be calculated using the following formula:

[0069] P=

[0070] Where P is the first operating power of the equipment to be installed. The second-order operating power in the sampled operating power sequence arranged from low to high;

[0071] For example, if the second sequence number is 20, and the 20th operating power of the sampled operating power sequence of the device to be installed is 470W, then the first operating power of the device to be installed is 470W.

[0072] Step S108: Obtain the available operating power of the rack.

[0073] The available operating power of the cabinet is the operating power that the cabinet can currently support, for example, the available operating power of the cabinet is 1500W.

[0074] Preferably, the step of obtaining the available operating power of the cabinet is as follows:

[0075] Obtain the design operating power of the cabinet, which is the maximum operating power of the equipment that the cabinet can support, provided by the cabinet manufacturer, for example, 4000W;

[0076] The operating power of the devices currently running in the cabinet is obtained. The sum of the operating power values ​​of all devices currently running in the cabinet is the operating power of the devices currently running in the cabinet, for example, 2500W.

[0077] The available operating power of the cabinet is calculated using the following formula:

[0078] C=AB

[0079] Where C is the available operating power of the cabinet, A is the designed operating power of the cabinet, and B is the operating power of the equipment currently running in the cabinet.

[0080] For example, if the cabinet is designed to operate at 4000W and the operating power of the equipment currently running in the cabinet is 2500W, then the available operating power of the cabinet is 4000W - 2500W = 1500W.

[0081] Step S109: Determine whether the equipment to be racked can be racked based on the available operating power of the rack and the first operating power of the equipment to be racked.

[0082] For example, it can be determined whether the first operating power of the equipment to be racked is less than the available operating power of the rack;

[0083] If the first operating power of the device to be racked is less than the available operating power of the rack, then the device can be racked in the rack. For example, if the first operating power of the device to be racked is 455W, and the available operating power of the rack is 1500W, then the first operating power of the device to be racked is less than the available operating power of the rack, therefore, the rack can support the device to be racked.

[0084] Preferably, the insurance coefficient of the device to be listed is obtained. The insurance coefficient of the device to be listed is the insurance coefficient set by the user. The higher the value, the more important the device to be listed is.

[0085] The second operating power of the equipment to be installed is calculated according to the following formula:

[0086] T=P*F

[0087] Where T is the second operating power of the equipment to be installed, P is the first operating power of the equipment to be installed, and F is the safety factor of the equipment to be installed;

[0088] Determine whether the second operating power of the equipment to be racked is less than the available operating power of the rack;

[0089] If the second operating power of the device to be racked is less than the available operating power of the rack, then the device to be racked can be racked in the rack.

[0090] For example, if the first operating power of the device to be racked is 480W and the safety factor of the device to be racked is 1.05, then the second operating power of the device to be racked is 480W * 1.05 = 504W. The second operating power is calculated based on the first operating power and the safety factor of the device to be racked. Since the safety factor is greater than 1, the second operating power is greater than the first operating power, and its safety is higher. The available operating power of the rack is 1500W, so the second operating power of the device to be racked is less than the available operating power of the rack. Therefore, the rack can support the device to be racked.

[0091] Preferably, the available space of the rack is obtained. The available space of the rack is the available U-slot of the rack, that is, the slot in the rack that can be used to mount equipment. When the equipment is mounted, it will occupy the slot in the rack.

[0092] Obtain the space required by the device to be racked, where the space required by the device to be racked is the U-space required by the device to be racked;

[0093] Determine whether the first operating power of the device to be racked is less than the available operating power of the rack and whether the space required by the device to be racked is less than the available space of the rack;

[0094] If the first operating power of the device to be racked is less than the available operating power of the rack and the space required by the device to be racked is less than the available space of the rack, then the device to be racked can be racked in the rack.

[0095] For example, the available space of the rack is 8 U-slots, the space required by the device to be racked is 4 U-slots, the first operating power of the device to be racked is 470W, and the available operating power of the rack is 1500W. Therefore, the first operating power of the device to be racked is less than the available operating power of the rack, and the space required by the device to be racked is less than the available space of the rack. The rack is capable of accommodating the device to be racked.

[0096] Preferably, the continuous available space of the rack is obtained and compared with the space required by the equipment to be racked. For example, when the available space of the rack is 5 U-positions, but its continuous available space is 2 U-positions and 3 U-positions respectively, if the space required by the equipment to be racked is 4 U-positions, then the equipment already racked in the rack needs to be moved first to achieve 4 U-positions of continuous available space before the equipment to be racked can be racked. However, when the continuous available space of the rack is directly compared with the space required by the equipment to be racked, there is no need to consider the problem of moving the equipment in the existing rack.
