Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of computers, and more specifically, to a server control method and apparatus, storage medium, and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of modern networks, more and more devices need to connect to the network and require a unique IP address (Internet Protocol Address) for communication. In many cases, using dynamic IPs is feasible, but in certain scenarios, it is necessary to configure static IPs for servers. For example, in a laboratory setting with multiple servers that need to perform automated testing simultaneously, each server needs to be configured with a fixed static IP address. Static IP addresses are essential to avoid the need to log in to the server to query and set the IP address before each automated test.

[0003] Currently, it is necessary to manually log in to the static IP configuration interface of each server, set a unique static IP for each server, and then control the server to apply the static IP after the configuration is completed. In this process, the workload of configuring numerous servers is enormous. At the same time, the configuration process cannot produce duplicate or incorrect static IPs, otherwise subsequent automated testing will fail, and troubleshooting will consume a lot of time. It is evident that the above-mentioned potential problems will greatly reduce the control efficiency of the server.

[0004] There is still no effective solution to the problem of low efficiency in configuring static Internet Protocol information during the server control process in related technologies. Summary of the Invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0050] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., 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 of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0051] The methods and embodiments provided in this application can be executed on a computer terminal, device terminal, or similar computing device. Taking running on a computer terminal as an example, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the hardware environment for a server control method according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, a computer terminal may include one or more ( Figure 1 Only one is shown in the diagram. A processor 102 (which may include, but is not limited to, a microprocessor MCU or a programmable logic device FPGA, etc.) and a memory 104 for storing data are also shown. In one exemplary embodiment, the computer terminal may further include a transmission device 106 for communication functions and an input / output device 108. Those skilled in the art will understand that... Figure 1 The structure shown is for illustrative purposes only and does not limit the structure of the computer terminal described above. For example, the computer terminal may also include components that are more complex than those described above.

[0056] Dynamic IP / Static IP: The main difference between static IP and dynamic IP is that a static IP address is a fixed address assigned to a device, while a dynamic IP address is an address automatically assigned to a device by a DHCP server. Static Internet Protocol information includes static IP addresses.

[0057] DHCP, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol;

[0058] DNS, Domain Name System;

[0059] BMC: Baseboard Management Controller.

[0060] This embodiment provides a server control method, applied to the aforementioned computer terminal. Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a server control method according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 2 As shown, this process is applied to server control scripts and includes the following steps:

[0061] Step S202: Respond to the received target execution instruction, wherein the target execution instruction is used to instruct the server control script to configure static Internet Protocol information for the target server, and the static Internet Protocol information is used to construct a test environment for performing target tests on the target server;

[0062] Step S204: Send a target allocation instruction to the baseboard management controller connected to the target server, wherein the target allocation instruction is used to instruct the baseboard management controller to allocate static Internet Protocol information to the target server;

[0063] Step S206: Receive target static Internet Protocol information returned by the baseboard management controller in response to the target allocation instruction;

[0064] Step S208: Perform a configuration operation on the target server using the target static Internet Protocol information, wherein the configuration operation is used to configure the target server to allow the use of the target static Internet Protocol information.

[0065] Through the above steps, the server control script controls the server as follows: First, the server control script responds to the received target execution command, which instructs the server control script to configure static Internet Protocol (IP) information for the target server. This static IP information is used to construct the test environment for performing the target test on the target server. Then, it sends a target allocation command to the baseboard management controller connected to the target server, instructing the baseboard management controller to allocate static IP information to the target server, and receives the target static IP information returned by the baseboard management controller in response to the target allocation command. Finally, it uses the target static IP information to perform a configuration operation on the target server, which configures the target server to allow the use of the target static IP information. This server control process requires no human intervention and can be entirely controlled by the server control script, automatically configuring the target server to allow the use of the target static IP information. This technical solution solves the problem of low efficiency in configuring static IP information during server control in related technologies, achieving the technical effect of improving the efficiency of static IP information configuration during server control.

[0066] In the technical solution provided in step S202 above, it is mentioned above that in certain scenarios, it is necessary to configure a static IP for the server. For example, if there are multiple servers in a laboratory that need to be automated tested at the same time, then it is necessary to configure a fixed static IP for each of the multiple servers. At this time, the static IP address is necessary. It is possible, but not limited to, to use any one of the multiple servers to be automated tested as the target server to be tested. The target server needs static Internet Protocol information to provide the test environment for the target test.

[0067] Optionally, in this embodiment, static Internet Protocol information may include, but is not limited to, parameters such as the static IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server corresponding to the server. The content covered by static Internet Protocol information is not limited here. Any parameter or information that can provide a test environment for the target test can be used as static Internet Protocol information.

[0068] Optionally, in this embodiment, the server control script may be, but is not limited to, pre-created on the baseboard management controller. Figure 3 This is an interaction diagram of a server control method according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the server script runs upon receiving a target execution instruction. This instruction directs the server control script to configure static Internet Protocol (IP) information for the target server. The static IP information is used to construct a test environment for performing target tests on the target server, generate a target allocation instruction, and send this instruction to the baseboard management controller corresponding to the target server. The baseboard management controller allocates static IP information to the target server and returns the generated target static IP information to the server control script. The server control script then performs a configuration operation on the target server based on the returned target static IP information. This configuration operation configures the target server to allow the use of the target static IP information.

[0069] In one exemplary embodiment, the response to the received target execution instruction may be, but is not limited to, one of the following methods: receiving a target configuration request sent by the baseboard management controller as the target execution instruction, wherein the target configuration request is used to request the configuration of static Internet Protocol information for the target server; executing in response to the target configuration request; receiving a execution task carrying the server control script sent by the baseboard management controller as the target execution instruction through the operating system of the target server; and running the execution task on the operating system in response to the execution task.

[0070] Optionally, in this embodiment, the execution of the server control script can be triggered, but is not limited to, by a target execution instruction, which can be, but is not limited to, the following instructions:

[0071] 1) The target operation command is sent directly by the baseboard management controller. The target configuration request sent by the baseboard management controller is used as the target operation command. That is, when the baseboard management controller sends a target configuration request to request the configuration of static Internet Protocol information for the target server, the target configuration request can be used as the target operation command.

[0072] 2) The baseboard management controller sends a running task carrying the server control script to the operating system of the target server, and then uses the running task as the target running instruction, while the server control script runs on the operating system of the target server.

[0073] The two response methods described above for receiving target execution instructions provide more options for the response methods of server control scripts, making the deployment and execution methods of server control scripts more diverse.

[0074] In the technical solution provided in step S204 above, it is mentioned above that in certain scenarios, it is necessary to configure static IPs for servers. For example, if there are multiple servers in a laboratory that need to be automated for testing simultaneously, then it is necessary to configure a fixed static IP for each of the multiple servers. In this case, a static IP address is required. It is possible, but not limited to, using any one of the multiple servers to be automated for testing as the target server to be tested. The target server needs static Internet Protocol (IP) information to provide a testing environment for the target test. It is possible, but not limited to, allocating static IP information to the target server through a baseboard management controller. It can be understood that each of the M target servers corresponds to a baseboard management controller that allocates static IP information to it. Of course, there can be multiple baseboard management controllers or just one baseboard management controller. Static IP information can be allocated to each of the multiple target servers through one baseboard management controller.

[0075] Optionally, in this embodiment, the following describes an optional method for the baseboard management controller to allocate static Internet Protocol information to each of the multiple target servers:

[0076] The baseboard management controller can receive the target server identifier of the target server and store the target server identifier (in this application, the device identifier can be understood as, but is not limited to, the server identifier or server ID, used to represent the unique identity information of the server) in a first storage space within the baseboard management controller; when the first storage space meets the target triggering condition, static Internet Protocol (IP) information for the target address quantity is generated in a second storage space within the baseboard management controller according to the number of target identifiers of the device identifiers stored in the first storage space, wherein the number of target addresses is greater than or equal to the number of target identifiers; the device identifiers of the target identifier quantity are paired with the static IP information for the target address quantity to obtain corresponding static IP information and device identifiers; the target static IP information corresponding to the target server identifier is retrieved from the corresponding IP addresses and device identifiers.

[0077] Optionally, pairing the device identifiers of the target number of identifiers with the static Internet Protocol information of the target number of addresses may include the following steps:

[0078] 1) Randomly select an unpaired device identifier from the target number of device identifiers as the device identifier to be paired, and randomly select an unpaired static Internet Protocol (IP) information from the target number of static Internet Protocol (IP) information as the static Internet Protocol (IP) information to be paired;

[0079] 2) Perform a pairing operation between the device identifier to be paired and the static Internet Protocol information to be paired, to obtain a set of static Internet Protocol information and device identifiers with corresponding relationships;

[0080] 3) Update the pairing status of the device identifier and static Internet Protocol information of the device that has completed the pairing operation to "paired";

[0081] 4) Repeat the above steps until the number of device identifiers with an unpaired pairing status among the target number of device identifiers is 0.

[0082] Optionally, when the first storage space meets the target triggering condition, generating static Internet Protocol information for the target number of addresses in the second storage space within the baseboard management controller based on the number of target identifiers of device identifiers stored in the first storage space may include one of the following:

[0083] 1) If the number of device identifiers in the first storage space is greater than or equal to the target number threshold, static Internet Protocol (IP) information for the target number of addresses is generated in the second storage space within the baseboard management controller based on the target number of device identifiers stored in the first storage space; or

[0084] 2) If the storage time of the first device identifier stored in the first storage space is greater than or equal to the target time threshold, static Internet Protocol information of the target address number is generated in the second storage space in the baseboard management controller according to the target number of device identifiers stored in the first storage space.

[0085] In one exemplary embodiment, a target allocation instruction may be sent to the baseboard management controller to which the target server is connected, but not limited to, by: generating the target allocation instruction; and controlling the operating system of the target server to send the target allocation instruction to the baseboard management controller through a target connection established between the target server and the baseboard management controller via a connection tool.

[0086] Optionally, in this embodiment, Figure 4This is a schematic diagram of a target allocation instruction sending method according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, a connection tool is deployed on the target server. This connection tool is used to establish a target connection between the baseboard management controller and the target server. The target server and the baseboard management controller can interact and transmit information through this target connection. The target allocation command is sent to the baseboard management controller in the following way: first, the target allocation command is sent to the operating system of the target server, and then the operating system calls the target connection established by the connection tool to send the target allocation command to the baseboard management controller.

[0087] In one exemplary embodiment, the operating system of the target server may be controlled to send the target allocation instruction to the baseboard management controller through a target connection established between the target server and the baseboard management controller via a connection tool in the following manner: controlling the operating system to call the intelligent platform management interface deployed on the target server, wherein the target connection is a connection between the intelligent platform management interface and the baseboard management controller established via the intelligent platform management tool, and the connection tool includes the intelligent platform management tool; and sending the target allocation instruction to the baseboard management controller through the intelligent platform management interface.

[0088] Optionally, in this embodiment, the process of establishing a connection between the intelligent platform management interface and the baseboard management controller through the intelligent platform management tool, i.e., the IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) tool, such as the IPMI tool or Free IPMI, can be, but is not limited to, as follows: in the BMC web interface, find the relevant options such as "IPMI-over-LAN" or "remote control", enable the IPMI-over-LAN function, so that the BMC can communicate with the operating system, and then control the operating system to call the intelligent platform management interface deployed on the target server, and send the target allocation instruction to the baseboard management controller through the intelligent platform management interface.

[0089] In one exemplary embodiment, the target allocation instruction may be generated, but is not limited to, by: generating an initial allocation instruction for instructing the baseboard management controller to allocate static Internet Protocol (IP) information to the server as the target allocation instruction; or, generating an initial allocation instruction for instructing the baseboard management controller to allocate static IP information to the server; adding the target server identifier of the target server to the initial allocation instruction to obtain the target allocation instruction.

[0090] Optionally, in this embodiment, the target allocation instruction is used to instruct the baseboard management controller to allocate static Internet Protocol (IP) information to the target server. Therefore, the server control script can directly generate an initial allocation instruction to instruct the baseboard management controller to allocate IP information to the server as the target allocation instruction. The server identifier can be, but is not limited to, sent spontaneously by the target server to the baseboard management controller. Alternatively, the server control script can generate an initial allocation instruction to instruct the baseboard management controller to allocate IP information to the server, and add the server identifier of the target server that needs to be configured with IP information to the initial allocation instruction to obtain the target allocation instruction. That is, upon receiving the target allocation instruction, the baseboard management controller can determine which servers need to be configured with IP information.

[0091] In the technical solution provided in step S206 above, the substrate management controller responds to the target allocation instruction, allocates the corresponding target static Internet Protocol information to the target server, and returns the target static Internet Protocol information to the server control script.

[0092] In one exemplary embodiment, the target static Internet Protocol (IP) information returned by the baseboard management controller in response to the target allocation instruction may be received in the following manner, but is not limited to: when an initial allocation instruction is generated to instruct the baseboard management controller to allocate static IP information to a server as the target allocation instruction, a static IP information table returned by the baseboard management controller in response to the target allocation instruction is received, wherein the static IP information table records server identifiers and static IP information with corresponding relationships; the static IP information corresponding to the target server identifier of the target server is retrieved from the static IP information table as the target static IP information.

[0093] Optionally, in this embodiment, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a static Internet Protocol information table according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the baseboard management controller can return a static Internet Protocol (IP) information table to the server control script. This table records corresponding server identifiers and static IP information. For example, server identifier 1 corresponds to static IP information 1, server identifier 2 corresponds to static IP information 2, and server identifier 3 corresponds to static IP information 3. The static IP information corresponding to the target server identifier of the target server is retrieved from the static IP information table and used as the target static IP information. For example, if the target server identifier of the target server is server identifier 1, then static IP information 1 is retrieved from the static IP information table and used as the target static IP information.

[0094] In the technical solution provided in step S208 above, after receiving the target static Internet Protocol information, the server control script can perform a configuration operation on the target server according to the target static Internet Protocol information, so that the target server is configured to allow the use of the target static Internet Protocol information.

[0095] In one exemplary embodiment, configuration operations on the target server can be performed using the target static Internet Protocol (IP) information in the following ways, but not limited to: invoking a network settings tool deployed on the target server, wherein the network settings tool is used to display multiple configuration locations of the target server's static IP information; searching for a target static IP identifier corresponding to the target configuration location from multiple static IP identifiers included in the target static IP information, wherein the multiple configuration locations include the target configuration location; and adding the target static IP identifier to the target configuration location.

[0096] Optionally, in this embodiment, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a network setup tool according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 6 As shown, after receiving the target static Internet Protocol (IP) information, the server control script calls the network settings tool deployed on the target server. The network settings tool displays "Configuration Location - Static IP Information," which shows multiple configuration locations of the target server's static IP information. For example, configuration location 1 corresponds to static IP identifier 1, configuration location 2 corresponds to static IP identifier 2, and configuration location 3 corresponds to static IP identifier 3. The script searches for the target static IP identifier corresponding to the target configuration location from the multiple static IP identifiers included in the target static IP information. For example, if the target static IP information includes static IP identifier 1 and static IP identifier 2, the found target configuration locations are configuration location 1 and configuration location 2, respectively. Then, static IP identifier 1 is added to configuration location 1, and static IP identifier 2 is added to configuration location 2.

[0097] Optionally, in this embodiment, the static Internet Protocol information may include, but is not limited to, parameters such as the static IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server corresponding to the server, and each of the above parameters can be understood as a static Internet Protocol identifier.

[0098] To better understand the control process of the server described above, the control flow of the server will be further described below in conjunction with optional embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.

[0099] This embodiment provides a server control method. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the control flow of a server according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the main steps include the following:

[0100] Step 1: Generate target static Internet Protocol (IP) information. Create a user server control script on the BMC to set the target static IP information, including parameters such as static IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server. Then, click the "Save" or "Apply" button to save these parameters to the BMC.

[0101] Step 2: Establish communication between the server and the baseboard management controller. In the BMC web interface, locate the relevant option such as "IPMI-over-LAN" or "Remote Control" and enable the IPMI-over-LAN function to allow the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) to communicate with the operating system. Install IPMI tools, such as IPMI tool or Free IPMI, on the target server's operating system so that the operating system can communicate with the BMC.

[0102] Step 3: Assign static Internet Protocol (IP) information to the servers. Create a server group on the BMC (corresponding to the first storage space mentioned above) and add the server identifiers of the servers whose static IP information needs to be configured to this group. Create a task on the BMC, adding the IP address pool (corresponding to the second storage space mentioned above), server control script, server group, and other information to the task. Upload the server control script for batch configuring static IP information to the operating system and run it.
