Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a method for acquiring BMC IP feature information, an electronic device, a storage medium, and a program product. Background Art

[0002] With the development of cloud computing and virtualization technology, the scale of data centers continues to expand, including a large number of physical servers, and the physical locations of multiple data centers are dispersed. Therefore, the management of each server in the data center has become the core of data center operation and maintenance.

[0003] In the prior art, in order to manage the physical server, it is necessary to obtain the network address of the physical server. Due to the uncertainty of the computer system, the BMC that exists independently of the computer system and hardware has become the main choice for controlling the target server. When remote monitoring and control are performed based on the BMC, it is necessary to obtain the IP feature information corresponding to each BMC. The management method of the IP feature information corresponding to the BMC is mainly static IP address allocation and dynamic IP address generation. If the IP feature information corresponding to the BMC is lost during remote monitoring or control, the BMC needs to be restarted to obtain the IP feature information.

[0004] Therefore, the prior art has the problem of low efficiency in managing IP feature information of the BMC. Summary of the invention

These drawings and text descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way, but to illustrate the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0070] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0071] First, the terms involved in this application are explained:

[0072] Baseboard Management Controller (BMC): A microcontroller in server hardware that manages and monitors the system. It provides remote management capabilities for the system, including power control, hardware monitoring, and fault diagnosis.

[0073] Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD): A programmable logic device used to implement digital circuits. It consists of multiple configurable logic blocks that can be programmed to implement specific logic functions.

[0074] Internet Protocol (IP): IP is the main protocol used to transmit data in the network. It is responsible for transmitting data packets from the source address to the destination address. The IP protocol defines the format of IP addresses and the structure of data packets, and is the basis of Internet communication.

[0075] Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP): DHCP is a network management protocol used to automatically assign IP addresses and other network configuration parameters (such as subnet masks, gateways, and DNS servers) to devices on a network.

[0076] User Datagram Protocol (UDP): is a simple transport layer protocol that provides connectionless data transmission services. It does not guarantee the order and integrity of data packets, but has low latency and overhead and is suitable for real-time applications such as video streaming and online games.

[0077] Transmission Control Protocol (TCP): is a reliable transport layer protocol that provides connection-oriented data transmission services. It ensures that data packets arrive in order and provides error detection and retransmission mechanisms. TCP is widely used in applications that require reliable transmission, such as web browsing and email.

[0078] Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI): is a standard interface for hardware management systems that allows system administrators to remotely monitor, manage, and maintain servers and other devices. It provides a way to monitor hardware status, temperature, fan speed, and other information independently of the main processor, as well as perform diagnostics and reboot operations over a remote connection. IPMI also supports remote system power control, which can help administrators effectively manage a large number of servers and devices and improve system reliability and stability.

[0079] In the prior art, in order to achieve the management of multiple physical servers, it is necessary to achieve remote monitoring or control of multiple servers. Due to the uncertainty of computer systems, there are disconnections and data leakage in the remote monitoring or control method based on computer systems. In order to avoid the instability of computer systems, the prior art implements remote connection and control of physical servers based on more stable BMC IP feature information. Based on the IP feature information assigned when the BMC is started or the IP feature information dynamically assigned by the server, the server where the BMC is located is remotely managed, thereby achieving management and control of the server.

[0080] However, when the BMC IP characteristic information of the server is used for server management, there is still a situation where the IP characteristic information is missing. At this time, it is necessary to re-acquire the BMC IP characteristic information of the server. The method of re-acquiring the BMC IP characteristic information in the prior art is mainly to restart the server corresponding to the BMC, reconfigure the static BMC IP characteristic information or re-acquire the dynamic BMC IP characteristic information. At this time, the running server needs to perform a restart operation, and the business running on the server needs to be interrupted. At the same time, the process from the server restarting to the issuance of the new BMC IP characteristic information is related to the startup efficiency of the server itself, which leads to the lengthening of the timeline for obtaining the new BMC IP characteristic information, thereby causing the technical problem of low management efficiency of the BMC IP characteristic information.

[0081] In view of the above technical problems, the present application proposes the following technical concept: In the prior art, the method of obtaining BMC IP feature information by restarting the server leads to the problem of low efficiency in BMC IP feature information management. Therefore, it is possible to consider re-acquiring BMC IP feature information without triggering server restart. Specifically, the trigger condition is set to determine whether the current user's operation meets the preset condition, and when the condition is met, the BMC IP feature information corresponding to the BMC server is sent to the target server for receiving. Among them, the preset condition needs to be combined with the user operation on the BMC server, a specific physical button is set as a trigger button, and the short press signal emitted by the physical button is used as one of the trigger conditions. The number of short press signals and the interval duration of the short press signal are combined to determine whether the current user's operation meets the preset condition, so as to determine the need to re-acquire BMC IP feature information without restarting the server. Combined with the information of the target server stored in the BMC server, the newly acquired BMC IP address information is sent to the target server for receiving and management in the form of IP address transmission or broadcast transmission, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the efficiency of BMC IP feature information management.

[0082] The technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0083] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the process of obtaining BMC IP feature information provided by this application Figure 1 .like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0084] S101: Determine whether the user's operation meets a preset condition.

[0085] It should be noted that the method for obtaining BMC IP characteristic information provided in this embodiment is applied to a BMC server.

[0086] In this step, the preset condition refers to the number of times the UID is clicked within a preset time length reaching a preset number. Among them, UID refers to a physical button in the BMC server. The BMC server also includes: CPLD, timer, and short press count calculation register. Among them, CPLD refers to the complex programmable logic device in the BMC server, which is used to receive the short press signal sent by the UID, and calculate the short press timer and short press count register based on the short press signal.

[0087] Optionally, a possible implementation method of determining whether the user's operation meets the preset condition is:

[0088] S1011. When UID is clicked, a short press signal is sent to CPLD.

[0089] In this step, the connection method between UID and CPLD is: the output pin of UID is connected to the input pin of CPLD.

[0090] Exemplarily, the implementation method of the UID sending the short press signal to the CPLD may be:

[0091] a1. Initialize and configure the input mode of the UID and the timer corresponding to the UID; the timer is used to calculate the duration of the UID click.

[0092] a2. When it is detected that the UID is pressed, the timer is started.

[0093] a3. When UID is kept pressed, the timer continues counting.

[0094] a4. If the UID is released, read the value of the timer.

[0095] a5. According to the value calculated by the timer, determine whether it is less than the preset long press threshold. If so, it indicates that the current UID click operation is a short press operation. Otherwise, it indicates that the current UID click operation is a long press operation.

[0096] a6. When the click operation of the UID is determined to be a short press, a short press signal is sent to the CPLD based on the output pin of the UID.

[0097] S1012: If the timer is not started, the CPLD controls the timer to start according to the short-press signal, and obtains the accumulated time obtained by timing.

[0098] It should be noted that after the timer is started, before COLD receives the next short press signal, CPLD can also detect whether the accumulated time of the timer exceeds the preset time. When it is determined that the accumulated time exceeds, the timer is cleared and the short press count register is reset at the same time. This is to avoid the situation where the timer counts consistently when only one click is made.

[0099] S1013. The CPLD controls the short press count register to count according to the short press signal, and obtains the cumulative number of short presses.

[0100] In this step, after the CPLD receives the first short press signal, it will continuously control the short press count calculation register to accumulate according to the subsequently received short press signals.

[0101] Exemplarily, the CPLD receives a short press signal sent by the UID, and the value of the short press count calculation register is the default value 0; the CPLD controls the short press count register to start calculating the short press count, and the value of the short press count calculation register is 1; after the CPLD receives the next short press signal, it controls the short press count calculation register to accumulate, and the obtained value is 2; and so on. When the timer duration does not exceed the preset duration, the short press count calculation register remains in the accumulation state.

[0102] S1014: When the accumulated duration does not exceed the preset duration and the accumulated number of short presses is not less than the preset number of times, it is determined that the user's operation meets the preset condition.

[0103] Exemplarily, the preset duration is set to 3 seconds and the preset number is set to 2 times; when the cumulative duration does not exceed 3 seconds and the cumulative number of short presses within the cumulative duration is not less than 2 times, it indicates that the click behavior of the current UID meets the preset conditions.

[0104] S1015: When the accumulated duration exceeds the preset duration, or the accumulated number of short presses is less than the preset number, it is determined that the user's operation does not meet the preset condition.

[0105] In this step, the situation where the preset condition is not met is mainly that the interval between consecutive clicks of the UID is long.

[0106] For example, when the preset duration is 3 seconds and the preset number is 3 times; if after the first short press, the interval exceeds 3 seconds and the second short press is still not triggered, it can be determined that the cumulative duration exceeds the preset duration; if there are only two short presses within 3 seconds, it indicates that the cumulative number of short presses is lower than the preset number.

[0107] It should be noted that when the accumulated duration exceeds the preset duration, or the accumulated number of short presses is less than the preset number, the timer needs to be reset.

[0108] S102: When the user's operation meets a preset condition, obtain BMC IP feature information.

[0109] It should be noted that the BMC server also includes: a message sending status register and a BMC, wherein the BMC refers to a microcontroller for implementing message sending.

[0110] In this step, when it is determined that the user's operation meets the preset conditions, it is also necessary to shield the UID to prevent the CPLD from receiving the short press signal sent by the physical button UID; at the same time, it is necessary to set the signal that the BMC can read so that the BMC can obtain the BMC IP feature information. Specifically:

[0111] S1021. When it is determined that the user's operation meets a preset condition, the CPLD sets the value of the message sending status register to a first value.

[0112] Exemplarily, when the user's operation meets the preset condition, the CPLD sets the value of the message sending status register to 1; when the user's operation does not meet the preset condition, the CPLD sets the value of the message sending status register to 0.

[0113] S1022: When it is determined that the user operation does not meet the preset condition, the CPLD sets the value of the message sending status register to a second value.

[0114] Optionally, when the user operation meets the preset condition, obtaining the BMC IP characteristic information may specifically be:

[0115] The BMC periodically polls the value of the message sending status register, and when the value of the message sending status register is polled to be the first value, obtains the BMC IP characteristic information.

[0116] Among them, BMC IP feature information includes: IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, MAC address, DHCP setting, VLAN ID, IPMI version, network port and security settings. Among them, IP address refers to the Wang Luoping address of BMC, which is used to identify and access BMC in the network; subnet mask is used to determine the IP address of the network part and the BMC server part; default gateway is used to route the network traffic corresponding to BMC to other networks; MAC address refers to the physical address of BMC, which is used to identify the unique network interface in Ethernet; DHCP setting indicates whether BMC uses dynamic host configuration protocol to automatically obtain network configuration; VLAN ID identifies the VLAN ID that BMC may need to configure if a virtual LAN is used for correct communication; IPMI version refers to the IPMI version supported by BMC; network port refers to the port number used by BMC; security setting refers to whether BMC enables or disables encrypted communication, user authentication and access list control. It should be noted that these IP feature information enable BMC to communicate and manage operations in the network, supporting remote monitoring, troubleshooting and system management.

[0117] Optionally, after the BMC IP characteristic information is obtained, the BMC IP characteristic information needs to be further processed, specifically: the BMC IP characteristic information is encapsulated to generate a BMC IP message.

[0118] Exemplarily, the method of generating the BMC IP message may be:

[0119] S1023: Determine that the communication protocol of the BMC is IPMI, and use a corresponding data format.

[0120] S1024: Construct an IPMI message header and data field based on the BMC IP feature information.

[0121] S1025: Encapsulate the BMC IP characteristic information in the form of fields or commands, and generate a corresponding BMC IP message.

[0122] S103: If the IP address of the target server is stored, the BMC IP feature information is sent to the target server based on the IP address of the target server.

[0123] Optionally, a possible implementation of sending the BMC IP characteristic information to the target server in this step is:

[0124] When the IP address of the target server is stored in the BMC server, the BMC IP message is sent to the target server based on the IP address of the target server.

[0125] Exemplarily, the BMC may send a BMC IP message to the target server in the following manner:

[0126] S1031. Obtain the current network configuration of the BMC server and check whether the IP address of the target server exists.

[0127] In this step, the method of checking whether the IP address exists can be: parsing a local configuration file, using a network command, or implementing it through an API call.

[0128] S1032: If the IP address of the target server exists, use the UDP or TCP protocol to send the encapsulated BMC IP message to the IP address and the designated port of the target server.

[0129] S104: If the IP address of the target server is not stored, broadcast the BMC IP characteristic information so that the target server obtains the BMC IP characteristic information.

[0130] Optionally, a possible implementation of broadcasting the BMC IP characteristic information in this step is:

[0131] If the IP address of the target server is not stored, the BMC IP message is broadcast.

[0132] Exemplarily, if the IP address of the target server does not exist, the BMC IP message is sent using a broadcast address, wherein the broadcast address may be the last address of the subnet to which the BMC communication belongs.

[0133] It should be noted that after the message is sent, the CPLD removes the shielding of the UID and resets the short press count register and the message sending status register; at the same time, the target server for receiving needs to parse the BMC IP message to obtain the IP feature information that can remotely manage the BMC server.

[0134] The BMC IP characteristic information acquisition method provided in the embodiment of the present application determines whether the user's operation meets the preset conditions. When it is determined that the user's operation meets the preset conditions, the BMC IP characteristic information corresponding to the current BMC server is acquired; at the same time, according to whether the IP address of the target server is stored in the current BMC server, it is determined whether to send the BMC IP characteristic information directly to the target server or to send the BMC IP characteristic information in the form of broadcast. Compared with the prior art, when it is necessary to re-acquire the BMC IP characteristic information, the present application does not need to restart the BMC server, but directly issues an instruction to resend the BMC IP information through the user's triggering behavior, thereby realizing the re-acquisition of the BMC IP information. The business interruption caused by the server restart is avoided, and the technical effect of improving the efficiency of BMC IP characteristic information management is achieved.

[0135] On the basis of the above embodiments, in combination with a BMC server and a target server corresponding to the BMC server, the present application proposes a schematic diagram of a transmission process of BMC feature information. Figure 2 The BMC IP feature information transmission process diagram provided for this application is as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the transmission process of BMC IP characteristic information includes:

[0136] A1. The user manually triggers the physical button of the BMC server. The physical button and CPLD are connected through physical pins. The physical button generates a signal based on the user's triggering behavior and sends it to the CPLD of the BMC server.

[0137] A2. The CPLD receives the signal sent by the physical button. The CPLD recognizes that the signal sent by the physical button triggers the condition for sending the BMC IP characteristic information. The CPLD refreshes the register used to determine whether to send the BMC IP characteristic information. Figure 1 The message sending status register in the illustrated embodiment.

[0138] A3. When the value of the message sending status register obtained by BMC polling is 1, the BMC IP characteristic information in the BMC server is encapsulated, and the encapsulated message is sent to the target server; after sending, the BMC resets the message sending status register.

[0139] A4. The target server for receiving the BMC IP characteristic information, when receiving the BMC IP message, parses and extracts the information in the message to obtain the IP characteristic information corresponding to the BMC server.

[0140] exist Figure 1 and Figure 2 Based on the illustrated embodiment, the present application also provides a schematic diagram of a CPLD receiving a physical key signal. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a CPLD capturing a short press signal provided in an embodiment of the present application. Assuming that the signal sent by the physical button to the CPLD when it is short pressed is a high-level signal, and when the short press is not triggered, it stably outputs a low level or no output to the CPLD, the CPLD will regard the level change of the rising edge as a short press signal. The preset duration in the preset conditions is 3 seconds, and the preset number of times is 2 times; if Figure 3 As shown, if there are two rising edge level changes within 3 seconds, it indicates that the user's physical operation meets the preset conditions.

[0141] Based on the above embodiment, this embodiment further explains in detail how to obtain BMC IP feature information. Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the process of obtaining BMC IP feature information provided by this application Figure 2 ,like Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0142] B1. Initialize the parameters, set the value of the short press count register to 0, and set the value of the message sending status register to 0.

[0143] B2. The user clicks UID.

[0144] B3, short press count calculation register starts accumulating the number of short press signals based on the UID.

[0145] B4. Determine whether the cumulative number is 1.

[0146] B5. When the cumulative number reaches 1, start the timer and begin timing.

[0147] B6. Determine whether the accumulated duration of the timer exceeds the preset duration.

[0148] B7. When the accumulated time exceeds the preset time, reset the timer and the short press count register; when the accumulated time does not exceed the preset time, wait for the next UID click operation.

[0149] B8. When the accumulated number of times in B4 is not 1, determine whether the accumulated duration of the timer exceeds the preset duration.

[0150] B9. When the accumulated duration in B7 exceeds the preset duration, reset the timer and jump to step B1 to initialize the parameters.

[0151] B10. When the accumulated duration in B7 does not exceed the preset duration, the message sending status register is set to 1, the physical button UID is shielded, and the timer is reset.

[0152] B11. The BMC polls and finds that the value of the message sending status register is 1, and collects BMC IP feature information from the BMC server.

[0153] B12. Determine whether the IP address of the target server exists in the BMC server.

[0154] B13. When the IP address of the target server does not exist, the BMC encapsulates the BMC IP characteristic information into a BMC IP message and broadcasts it.

[0155] B14. When the IP address of the target server exists, the BMC encapsulates the BMC IP characteristic information into a BMCIP message and sends it to the target server through the IP address.

[0156] B15. After the message is sent, the CPLD removes the shielding of the UID and resets the short press count register and the message sending status register.

[0157] B16. The target server at the receiving end receives the message, parses the message and extracts information.

[0158] In this embodiment, the CPLD in the BMC server is used to receive the short press signal of the physical button, and based on the number of short press signals and the interval between consecutive short press signals, it is determined whether the user's click operation is valid; thereby the initial BMC encapsulates and sends the IP feature information. Without restarting the physical server, the BMC IP feature information is resent, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the efficiency of BMC IP feature information management.
