[0002] In a data center, the management and maintenance of servers become extremely important. In order to improve the availability and reliability of servers, remote management and monitoring of servers are usually required. A baseboard management controller (BMC) can achieve the functions of remote management and monitoring of servers as an embedded management controller. However, in order to achieve some functions of remote management and monitoring of servers, the parameters of the baseboard management controller need to be configured.

[0051] In order to make the above objectives, features and advantages of the present application more apparent, further specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, but 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 labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0052] In related technologies, the most common application scenarios for configuring and setting up the baseboard management controller are: server deployment and maintenance (motherboard replacement). The baseboard management controller uses the default configuration when it leaves the factory, and configuration is required when the server enters the field for the first time. Traditional baseboard management controller configuration requires service engineers to write different scripts according to different application scenarios and run the scripts to configure the baseboard management controller. When the motherboard is replaced or the FLASH device of the baseboard management controller is replaced, the original configuration will not exist and needs to be reconfigured.

[0053] Because the configuration settings and configuration checks of the baseboard management controller in related technologies suffer from problems such as low efficiency, low accuracy, and high cost of manual intervention; and because electronic devices such as servers and storage devices are updated rapidly, with significant differences between different models and versions, and different IPMI commands between different models, making maintenance and use difficult, it is obviously essential to manage different models of devices in a unified way.

[0054] Therefore, this invention proposes to provide a visual interface through a server module to display and modify the configuration; a client module to obtain the server's hardware information and report it to the server; the server to provide configuration methods and strategies based on the hardware information; a configuration data module to generate corresponding configuration files based on the obtained hardware information; and a configuration check module to check and inspect the configuration after installation, so as to effectively improve the efficiency and accuracy of the server baseboard management controller configuration settings, while reducing the cost and risk of manual intervention.

[0055] Secondly, the processing method based on the baseboard management controller provided by this invention can realize automated and intelligent baseboard management controller management, significantly improving the efficiency and reliability of server management;

[0056] It has brought a series of beneficial effects to data center and server operations and maintenance, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

[0057] 1. Improve management efficiency: The automatic configuration management solution allows administrators to remotely configure and update the baseboard management controller settings in a centralized manner, eliminating the need for manual operation on each server, which greatly improves management efficiency.

[0058] 2. Reduce human error: Automation reduces the human error that may occur during manual configuration, ensuring consistency and accuracy of configuration.

[0059] 3. Improve server availability: Through automated remote management, server issues can be responded to quickly, reducing server downtime, even when the physical location is remote or inaccessible.

[0060] 4. Enhanced security: Automatic configuration management ensures that security settings are applied correctly, such as timely updates to fix security vulnerabilities, and configuration of access control and encrypted data transmission.

[0061] 5. Optimized resource allocation: Automation solutions can dynamically adjust server resources based on real-time business needs, improving resource utilization.

[0062] 6. Reduced operational costs: Automation reduces dependence on manual operations, thereby reducing labor costs and management costs.

[0063] 7. Improved fault response: Automated configuration management solutions can quickly identify hardware faults and trigger alarms, allowing the operations team to respond promptly and reduce the impact of faults.

[0064] 8. Standardized management processes: Automation solutions help establish standardized management processes, simplifying complex management tasks.

[0065] 9. Simplified maintenance tasks: Automation solutions can automatically perform routine configuration maintenance tasks such as log management, user management, and BIOS (Basic Input Output System) management, simplifying maintenance work.

[0066] 10. Support for large-scale deployment: For data centers with a large number of servers, automatic configuration management solutions are particularly important, making it possible to manage large-scale servers uniformly.

[0067] 11. Improved business continuity: Through automated fault prevention and recovery measures, automatic configuration management solutions help maintain business continuity.

[0068] 12. Flexible policy application: Automation solutions can automatically adjust server configurations according to pre-set business policies to adapt to different workload requirements.

[0069] 13. Audit and compliance: Automatic configuration management solutions help record all configuration changes, facilitating audits and ensuring compliance.

[0070] In summary, this solution brings significant benefits to server operation and management by improving efficiency, reducing errors, optimizing resource allocation, reducing costs, and enhancing security.

[0071] Reference Figure 1, a step flow chart of a processing method based on a baseboard management controller is shown, the method is applied to a server end, the server end provides a visual interface for configuration of the baseboard management controller, the server end communicates with a client end, and the client end is deployed on a server node in a server cluster. In actual application, there are multiple server nodes in the server cluster, and each server node has a baseboard management controller, so the client end can be installed on the server node, and the configuration of the baseboard management controller in the server node can be realized by controlling the client end.

[0072] Specifically, as Figure 2 A server end can be established in advance, and the server end can control the client end in the server cluster; the server end can communicate with the client end, the server end can provide visual management of configuration, a user can configure through a visual interface in the visual management, and the configuration of the baseboard management controller can be realized through interaction between the server end and the client end.

[0073] In some examples, the server end can provide visual management of configuration, which can include adding, deleting, modifying and inquiring functions of configuration, batch processing and modular configuration modification, the server end sets the configuration of a single machine, and then sends data to the client end, the client end receives the data sent by the server end, and forms an execution task according to data analysis; the server end can be installed in a certain server node in the server cluster, or can be installed in a certain external node (a computer capable of installing the server end and executing), and the position of the server end is not limited in the application, and can be arranged according to actual conditions.

[0074] As an example, the client end receives the data sent by the server end, and forms an execution task according to data analysis, and the specific task can be divided into an ipmi instruction form, and a tool is integrated into the client end by special setting.

[0075] Specifically, the following steps can be included:

[0076] Step 101, a first configuration file for the baseboard management controller in multiple types of server nodes is obtained.

[0077] In some examples, the types of the multiple types of server nodes can be server models, or can be divided according to the function types of the servers, such as front-end servers and back-end servers, so that personalized customization is realized, and the actual scene can be better adapted.

[0078] In practical application, a configuration file for a baseboard management controller in a server of a certain type can be pre-set and stored in the cloud as the first configuration file; specifically, the cloud can store first configuration files for baseboard management controllers in server nodes of multiple types, and the server can obtain a certain first configuration file or multiple first configuration files from the cloud.

[0079] In step 102, in response to user operation on the visualization interface, a second configuration file is determined according to the first configuration file, and the second configuration file is modified to obtain a third configuration file.

[0080] In practical application, when a user needs to configure a baseboard management controller in a server node of a certain target type, the user can operate on the visualization interface of the server to obtain a first configuration file from the cloud; the server obtains the first configuration file in response to user operation on the visualization interface, the user can select / modify / split / combine the first configuration file as a second configuration file adapted to the server node of the target type on the visualization interface, and after obtaining the second configuration file, the user can modify the second configuration file on the visualization interface to obtain a third configuration file.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present application, the second configuration file is determined according to the first configuration file in response to user operation on the visualization interface, and includes:

[0082] In some embodiments, in response to user configuration selection operation on the visualization interface, a second configuration file adapted to a server node of a target type is selected from the first configuration file.

[0083] In practical application, since there are first configuration files for baseboard management controllers in server nodes of multiple types, when a user needs to configure a baseboard management controller in a server node of a certain target type, the server obtains multiple first configuration files, and the user can select one of the first configuration files that the user believes can be adapted to the server node of the target type as a second configuration file on the visualization interface; for example, the first configuration files for baseboard management controllers in server nodes of multiple types are ABC, and the user believes that A can be adapted to the server node of the target type, so A is selected as the second configuration file adapted to the server node of the target type.

[0084] In some embodiments, in response to a user selecting operation on the visualization interface, a second configuration file adapted to the target type of server node is selected from the first configuration files; in response to a user configuration synchronization operation on the visualization interface, one or more first configuration parameters are determined from the configuration parameters of the first configuration file, and the one or more first configuration parameters are synchronized to the second configuration file to obtain an updated second configuration file.

[0085] In actual application, when a user needs to configure a baseboard management controller of a server node of a target type, after the server obtains a plurality of first configuration files, the user can perform a selection operation on the visualization interface to select one of the first configuration files that the user considers to be adapted to the server node of the target type as a second configuration file. Since there may be configuration parameters in the second configuration file that are not applicable to the server node of the target type, the user can perform a configuration synchronization operation on the visualization interface, and the server determines one or more first configuration parameters from the configuration parameters of the first configuration file in response to the user configuration synchronization operation on the visualization interface, and synchronizes the one or more first configuration parameters to the second configuration file to obtain an updated second configuration file.

[0086] For example, the first configuration files of the baseboard management controllers of a plurality of types of server nodes are A, B, and C, the user considers that A is adapted to the server node of the target type, and A is selected as the second configuration file adapted to the server node of the target type. For another example, the configuration parameters in A are Q, W, and E, but some of the configuration parameters in A are not applicable to the server node of the target type (for example, the server node of the target type cannot use a configuration parameter W in A). The user can perform a configuration synchronization operation on the visualization interface, and the server determines one applicable first configuration parameter T from the configuration parameters R, T, and Y in the first configuration file B or C in response to the user configuration synchronization operation on the visualization interface, and synchronizes the first configuration parameter T to the second configuration file A to obtain an updated second configuration file. At this time, the configuration parameters in the second configuration file are Q, T, and E.

[0087] In some examples, the configuration parameter can be a function that can be implemented according to the configuration parameter.

[0088] In some examples, for example, Figure 3For example, the first configuration files of the baseboard management controllers in multiple types of server nodes are respectively configuration A and configuration B, a user considers that configuration B can be adapted to a target type of server node, and configuration B is taken as a second configuration file adapted to the target type of server node. Configuration parameters in configuration B are configuration 1, configuration 3, and configuration 4, and configuration 2 is not included. The user can perform a configuration synchronization operation on the visual interface, and the server responds to the configuration synchronization operation of the user on the visual interface. The user determines an applicable first configuration parameter (configuration 2) from the configuration parameters (configuration 1, configuration 2, configuration 3, and configuration 4) in the first configuration file configuration A, and synchronizes the first configuration parameter (configuration 2) to the second configuration file (configuration B) to obtain an updated second configuration file. At this time, the configuration parameters in the second configuration file are (configuration 1, configuration 2 (configuration 2 in the first configuration file configuration B), configuration 3, and configuration 4).

[0089] In some embodiments, in response to a configuration splitting operation of the user on the visual interface, one or more second configuration parameters are determined in the first configuration file, and a second configuration file is generated according to the one or more second configuration parameters split from the first configuration file.

[0090] In actual application, the user can also perform a splitting operation on the first configuration file on the visual interface. When the user needs to configure the baseboard management controller of a target type of server node, but some configuration parameters in the obtained first configuration file are not needed by the target type of server node, one or more second configuration parameters in the first configuration file can be split to generate a second configuration file.

[0091] In some examples, as Figure 4 the user selects a first configuration file (configuration A) considered to be able to adapt to a target type of server node from multiple first configuration files, but some configuration parameters (configuration 2 and configuration 4) are not needed by the target type of server node (B node), the second configuration parameters (configuration 1 and configuration 3) in configuration A can be split to generate a second configuration file.

[0092] For another example, the user selects a first configuration file (configuration A) considered to be able to adapt to a target type of server node from multiple first configuration files, but some configuration parameters (configuration 1 and configuration 3) are not needed by the target type of server node (C), and the second configuration parameters (configuration 2 and configuration 4) in configuration A can be split to generate a second configuration file.

[0093] In the embodiments of the present application, a new configuration file is obtained by splitting an existing configuration file, which can reduce manual configuration and is more suitable for a large quantity of configuration scenarios.

[0094] In some embodiments, in response to a user performing a configuration merge operation on the visualization interface, one or more third configuration parameters are determined in a plurality of the first configuration files, and the one or more third configuration parameters determined in the plurality of the first configuration files are merged to generate a second configuration file.

[0095] In actual applications, when a user configures a target type of server node, after selecting a first configuration file that is considered to be suitable for the target type of server node from a plurality of first configuration files, if the required configuration parameters are in two first configuration files, one or more third configuration parameters required in the two first configuration files can be determined, and the one or more third configuration parameters determined in the two first configuration files are merged to generate a second configuration file.

[0096] As Figure 4 , when a user configures a target type of server node (A), if there is no suitable first configuration file that can be used as a second configuration file, suitable third configuration parameters can be found from a plurality of first configuration files, such as configuration 1 and configuration 3 of configuration B, and configuration 2 and configuration 4 of configuration C. The configuration parameters in the first configuration files configuration B and configuration C are merged to generate a second configuration file (configuration A), and the configuration parameters in configuration A include configuration 1, configuration 2, configuration 3, and configuration 4.

[0097] In step 103, the client obtains a plurality of fourth configuration files of server nodes for the baseboard management controller, and generates a modified configuration file according to the difference between the third configuration file and the fourth configuration file.

[0098] In actual applications, after the client obtains a plurality of fourth configuration files of server nodes for the baseboard management controller, the third configuration file and the fourth configuration file can be compared to determine the difference, and a modified configuration file is generated according to the difference, and is sent to the client.

[0099] In some examples, as Figure 5 , after the server and the client establish communication, the user can also use the configuration reading function of the visualization interface of the server to request configuration information data from the client on each server node. The client reads the baseboard management controller configuration information as a fourth configuration file, and sends it to the server, which is uploaded to the cloud storage.

[0100] In some embodiments of the present application, the configuration files in the server and / or the client are stored in a tree structure entry, and the configuration files in the server and / or the client are Extensible Markup Language type files.

[0101] As Figure 3The configuration file in the server and / or the client adopts a tree structure entry storage, the configuration classification is divided into tree structure entries, configuration 1 is the default configuration of each model, and the record is a configuration modification item, which only modifies the content on the basis of the default configuration, and the division can effectively save the storage space.

[0102] In some examples, the server can collect the configuration of the client and the configuration downloaded from the cloud, analyze and compare the modification items according to the tree structure entries, find the differences between the two data, generate a modified configuration file according to the difference items, and issue the modified configuration file to the client.

[0103] In some examples, the configuration file can adopt an xml (extensible markup language) type file to realize the function configuration synchronization between different models, the configuration splitting, the combination of multiple configurations, and reduce the manual operation in batch configuration.

[0104] In some examples, the configuration file can also adopt other forms, such as a list form.

[0105] In step 104, the modified configuration file is issued to the client in the plurality of server nodes through the batch processing interface, so that the client issues an execution task to the plurality of server nodes according to the modified configuration file, and modifies the baseboard management controller configuration in the plurality of server nodes.

[0106] In actual application, for the on-site situation, the same cluster environment, the baseboard management controller basic configuration may be slightly different, and other functions are basically the same; the server can provide a batch processing interface to batch modify the baseboard management controller basic configuration, and the server can realize the configuration by one key after selecting each client; after generating the modified configuration file, the modified configuration file is issued to the client in the plurality of server nodes through the batch processing interface provided by the server, so that the client issues an execution task to the plurality of server nodes according to the modified configuration file, and modifies the baseboard management controller configuration in the plurality of server nodes.

[0107] In some embodiments of the application, the method further comprises: uploading the third configuration file to the cloud; when triggering consistency verification, downloading the third configuration file from the cloud, and acquiring the latest fourth configuration file for the baseboard management controller in the plurality of server nodes through the client; and performing consistency verification according to the third configuration file and the fourth configuration file.

[0108] In actual application, after the user modifies the second configuration file in the visual interface to obtain a third configuration file, the server can upload the third configuration file to the cloud for storage; when consistency verification is triggered, the third configuration file can be downloaded from the cloud, and the latest fourth configuration file in the baseboard management controller of the plurality of server nodes is obtained through the client, and the downloaded third configuration file is subjected to consistency verification with the latest fourth configuration file.

[0109] In some embodiments of the application, the method further comprises:

[0110] According to the consistency verification result, an alarm message is generated, or the baseboard management controller configuration of the server node with inconsistent configuration is restored through the client.

[0111] In actual application, after the downloaded third configuration file and the latest fourth configuration file are subjected to consistency verification, a consistency verification result is generated, when the consistency verification result indicates inconsistency, the server generates an alarm message, or the baseboard management controller configuration of the server node with inconsistent configuration is restored through the client, the consistency of the configuration is ensured by verifying the consistency of the local configuration of the node and the configuration in the cloud, and the situation of misconfiguration of part of the nodes is avoided, and the reliability is improved.

[0112] As an example, when the consistency verification result indicates that the fourth configuration file is missing, the third configuration file can be downloaded from the cloud by the server at any time and sent to the client, and the baseboard management controller configuration and the taking effect are completed by the client.

[0113] As an example, the client can read the baseboard management controller configuration information from the local through an ipmi (intelligent platform management) interface, the server reads the configuration from the client through the network, and compares with the cloud data to find the difference between the third configuration file and the latest fourth configuration file.

[0114] In some embodiments of the application, the method further comprises:

[0115] The latest fourth configuration file in the baseboard management controller of the plurality of server nodes is obtained through the client, and dependency checking is performed on all configuration parameters in the latest fourth configuration file; and a dependency solution is generated according to the result of the dependency checking.

[0116] In actual application, the server can obtain the latest fourth configuration file in the baseboard management controller of the plurality of server nodes through the client, and perform dependency checking on all configuration parameters in the latest fourth configuration file; for example, the function of configuration parameter B depends on the function of configuration parameter A, a dependency result is generated according to the dependency checking, and a dependency solution is generated.

[0117] In some embodiments of the present application, the dependency check on all configurations in the latest fourth configuration file includes:

[0118] An index table of dependencies is obtained, which records other configuration items that each configuration item depends on; in the process of dependency check on all configurations in the latest fourth configuration file, for each configuration item in the latest fourth configuration file, it is checked whether the other configuration items that depend on have been configured; if the other configuration items that depend on have not been configured, it is determined that there is a dependency configuration exception.

[0119] In actual application, the index table of dependencies records other configuration items that each configuration item depends on; assuming that B function depends on A function, if B function needs to be implemented, but A function is not checked, at this time, the reason why B function is not implemented is given, the index table of dependencies of B function on other functions is obtained, and a prompt option example is given; in the process of dependency check on all configurations in the latest fourth configuration file, for each configuration item in the latest fourth configuration file, it is checked whether the other configuration items that depend on have been configured; if the other configuration items that depend on have not been configured, it is determined that there is a dependency configuration exception.

[0120] In the embodiments of the present application, by performing dependency check on all configurations in the latest configuration file, it can be avoided that errors occur when the service is configured, and thus it can be avoided that the node has configuration exception, the security and reliability of the configuration are improved, and the occurrence of faults is reduced.

[0121] The following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings Figure 6 for exemplary illustration:
