[0048] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart of a configuration checking method of a baseboard management controller provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The method may include:

[0050] Step 101: configuring a baseboard management controller in a host to be tested according to a baseboard management controller information configuration file; wherein the baseboard management controller information configuration file includes deployment configuration information, configuration item configuration information and configuration check information.

[0051] It can be understood that the baseboard management controller (BMC) information configuration file in this embodiment can be a file required to run for configuring and checking the BMC in the server host (i.e., the host to be tested). In this embodiment, the processor can use the deployment configuration information and configuration item configuration information in the BMC information configuration file to configure the BMC in the host to be tested; and use the configuration check information in the BMC information configuration file to check all or part of the configuration items configured in the BMC to obtain the retention status of the BMC configuration.

[0052] Correspondingly, the specific number and content of the BMC information configuration file in this embodiment can be set by the designer according to the practical scenario and user needs. For example, the BMC information configuration file can include a data structured format file for storing deployment configuration information and a programming code file for storing configuration item configuration information and configuration check information. For example, the data structured format file can adopt a .yaml file (such as a config.yaml file), and the .yaml file can include the deployment configuration information of the BMC in the deployment server host, such as an IP (Internet Protocol) address, a user name and a password, so as to realize external test data configuration management; the YAML (Yet Another Markup Language, a markup language) syntax adopted in the .yaml file is similar to other high-level languages, and can simply express data forms such as lists, hash tables, and scalars; its use of blank symbol indentation and a large number of appearance-dependent features are particularly suitable for expressing or editing data structures and various configuration files. The programming code file can adopt a .py file (such as a check_info.py file) to develop using python (a programming language), and use the pytest (a mature full-featured Python test framework) framework to implement the inspection test of the BMC configuration items.

[0053] Similarly, this embodiment also does not limit the specific content of various information in the BMC information configuration file. For example, the deployment configuration information may include an IP address, a user name, and a password, such as the IP address, user name, and password of the server host and the IP address, user name, and password of the BMC. For example, the deployment configuration information may include the following content:

[0054] server:

[0055] os:

[0056] host: 100.17.2.129

[0057] port: 22

[0058] Username: root

[0059] password: inspur@123

[0060] bmc:

[0061] host: 100.17.3.51

[0062] port: 22

[0063] username: admin

[0064] password: admin

[0065] Accordingly, the configuration item configuration information may include the contents of any one or more configuration items among users, static networks, power-on policies, power consumption and Network Time Protocol (NTP); the configuration item configuration information may also include the contents of any one or more configuration items among SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), fan mode, web (webpage) timeout session, SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), kvm (Kernel-based Virtual Machine, an open source system virtualization module) timeout session, LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) / AD (Active Directory, an application instance of LDAP), IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) access policy and syslog (system log).

[0066] It should be noted that the specific method for the processor to configure the baseboard management controller in the host to be tested according to the baseboard management controller information configuration file in this step can be set by the designer. For example, the processor can configure the BMC in the host to be tested according to the deployment configuration information; and configure the various configuration items of the baseboard management controller according to the configuration item configuration information. For example, the processor can first read the data structured format file (such as the config.yaml file) to configure the deployment BMC; then read the programming code file (such as the check_info.py file) to configure the various configuration items of the baseboard management controller, such as modifying users, static networks, power-on policies, power consumption, NTP, SNMP, fan mode, web timeout session, SMTP, kvm timeout session, LDAP / AD, IPv4 access policy, and syslog configuration items.

[0067] Among them, the specific manner of configuring each configuration item of the baseboard management controller using the configuration item configuration information in this embodiment can be set by the designer according to the usage scenario and user needs. For example, the processor can directly use the preset configuration information (such as preset default values ​​and user configuration information) of each configuration item in the configuration item configuration information to modify the corresponding configuration item of the BMC; or only use the user configuration information of each configuration item in the configuration item configuration information to modify the corresponding configuration item of the BMC, that is, do not modify the configuration item corresponding to the preset default value.

[0068] In order to reduce the amount of calculation for configuration item modification and improve configuration efficiency, the processor can also configure each configuration item of the baseboard management controller according to the configuration identifier corresponding to each configuration item in the configuration item configuration information; if the configuration identifier corresponding to a configuration item is a non-modification identifier, the content of the configuration item (i.e., the default value) is not modified; if it is a modification identifier, the default value of the configuration item is modified according to the user configuration information of the configuration item in the configuration item configuration information. In other words, the processor can obtain the configuration identifier of the current configuration item in the configuration item configuration information; wherein the current configuration item is any configuration item; if the configuration identifier is a non-modification identifier, the default value of the current configuration item is not modified; if the configuration identifier is a modification identifier, the default value of the current configuration item is modified according to the user configuration information of the current configuration item in the configuration item configuration information.

[0069] Correspondingly, the method provided before this step may also include a process of obtaining a BMC information configuration file; for example, the processor may receive a BMC information configuration file sent by a user, or directly read a pre-stored BMC information configuration file. In order to facilitate the configuration of the BMC information configuration file, the processor in this embodiment may also use the BMC configuration information read from the specified server host (i.e., the target host) to automatically generate a corresponding BMC information configuration file.

[0070] For example, the processor can read the configuration information of the baseboard management controller in the target host (such as IP address, user name, password and various configuration items of BMC, etc.) according to the obtained file configuration instruction; wherein the target host is the host corresponding to the file configuration instruction; according to the configuration information and the specified check configuration item information in the file configuration instruction, configure the preset template file (such as .yaml file template and .py file template) to generate the baseboard management controller information configuration file. In other words, the processor can generate the BMC information configuration file using the preset template file according to the BMC configuration information read from the target host, the configuration items to be checked specified by the user and the corresponding target configuration retention status, so as to facilitate the subsequent batch configuration and inspection of the host to be tested.

[0071] Correspondingly, such as Figure 2 As shown, in the process of reading the configuration information of the baseboard management controller in the target host according to the obtained file configuration instructions, it is also possible to determine whether the configuration information of the BMC in the target host is successfully read; if so, continue to execute the generation process of the BMC information configuration file; if not, an error may be reported. Furthermore, after reading the configuration information of the baseboard management controller in the target host according to the obtained file configuration instructions, it is also possible to determine whether all or part of the content (such as some configuration items) in the configuration information is the same as the preset user configuration content; if so, continue to execute the generation process of the BMC information configuration file; if not, an error may be reported. Correspondingly, as Figure 3 As shown, in this step, the processor may also report an error when the BMC configuration fails.

[0072] Step 102: According to the configuration check information, the target configuration items configured in the baseboard management controller are checked to obtain the configuration check result.

[0073] It can be understood that in this step, the processor can check the configuration items that need to be checked (ie, target configuration items) in the BMC according to the configuration check information, and obtain configuration check results of all target configuration items.

[0074] Correspondingly, in this step, the processor checks the target configuration items configured in the baseboard management controller according to the configuration check information, and the specific method of obtaining the configuration check result can be set by the designer according to the practical scenario and user needs. For example, after all the configuration items of the BMC are configured, the target configuration items configured in the BMC can be checked (such as serially or in parallel) to obtain the configuration check result; or after each or part of the configuration items are configured, these configuration items can be checked to obtain the configuration check result. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0075] Furthermore, in this step, the processor can first execute an operation command (such as restart or restore to factory settings) when checking the configured target configuration items to ensure the accuracy of the configuration retention check. For example, the host to be tested can be controlled to restart by controlling the host to be tested to execute the following operation command under the OS (operating system):

[0076] Ipmitool chassis mc reset cold

[0077] Sleep 500

[0078] For example, in order to avoid repeated execution of operation commands, the processor can execute the operation commands in the configuration check information after the baseboard management controller is configured; after the operation command is executed, all target configuration items in the baseboard management controller are checked according to the configuration check information to obtain the configuration check result. Accordingly, when it is only necessary to check whether the configuration result is correct, the operation command can be omitted in the configuration check information, so as to realize batch configuration of the machine and configuration result check, ensure the accuracy of the configuration, and perform differentiated configuration for different customized services of customers.

[0079] It should be noted that the target configuration item in this embodiment can be a configuration item that needs to be checked. The specific confirmation method of the target configuration item in this step can be set by the designer, such as directly taking all configuration items as the target configuration items; or the target configuration item can be determined according to the inspection identifiers corresponding to each configuration item in the configuration inspection information, such as the processor can obtain the inspection identifier of the current configuration item that has been configured in the configuration inspection information; if the inspection identifier of the current configuration item is the inspection identifier, the current configuration item is taken as the target configuration item, and according to the preset configuration information of the current configuration item in the configuration item configuration information, the content of the current configuration item in the baseboard management controller is checked to obtain the configuration inspection result of the current configuration item; wherein the preset configuration information is the preset default value or the user configuration information; if the inspection identifier of the current configuration item is the non-inspection identifier, then you can continue to wait or check the next configuration item.

[0080] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the target configuration items to be checked can be determined according to the one-key check mark in the configuration check information to facilitate the user's check configuration. For example, the processor can determine whether the one-key check mark in the configuration check information is a startup mark; if it is a startup mark, all configuration items in the baseboard management controller are respectively determined as target configuration items, and all target configuration items are checked using the configuration check information to obtain the configuration check result; if it is a non-startup mark, the target configuration item is determined according to the respective check marks of each configuration item in the baseboard management controller, and all target configuration items are checked using the configuration check information to obtain the configuration check result.

[0081] Correspondingly, in this step, the processor can use the preset configuration information (preset default value or user configuration information) corresponding to each current target configuration item in the configuration check information to check the content of the configured current target configuration item to obtain the configuration check result of the current target configuration item; wherein, the current target configuration item is any target configuration item. For example, when the current target configuration item is a default configuration item that does not need to be modified, the processor can check whether the content of the configured current target configuration item is the same as the preset default value corresponding to the current target configuration item in the configuration check information; if they are the same, the configuration check result of the current target configuration item is determined to be restored; if they are not the same, the configuration check result of the current target configuration item is determined to be retained. For example, the default values ​​of different configuration types (such as preset default values) can be different. Taking the default value of #ntp_servers as an example, during the inspection process, if a certain configuration type does not have a default value, None, "NONE", "null", "" can be obtained, or the content of the corresponding line can be deleted; the default value of the bool (Boolean variable) type uses True and False. For example:

[0082] ntp_servers_default = {

[0083] "AlternateNtpServer": "Sync Always",

[0084] "ExtraNtpServer": "",

[0085] "MaxPollingInterval": "",

[0086] "MinPollingInterval": "",

[0087] "NtpAddressOrigin": "Static",

[0088] "NtpServerCount": 3,

[0089] "PreferredNtpServer": "",

[0090] "ServiceEnabled": False,

[0091] "SyncMode": "Sync Once"

[0092] Correspondingly, when the current target configuration item is a modified configuration item that needs to be modified, the processor can check whether the content of the current target configuration item after the modification configuration is the same as the user configuration information corresponding to the current target configuration item in the configuration check information; if they are the same, the configuration check result of the current target configuration item is determined to be retained; if they are not the same, the configuration check result of the current target configuration item is determined to be restored.

[0093] Step 103: Generate a configuration test report based on the configuration check result.

[0094] Correspondingly, in this step, the processor can generate a configuration test report based on the configuration check results (such as retention or restoration) of all target configuration items for the convenience of user viewing.

[0095] Among them, the specific way in which the processor generates a configuration test report based on the configuration check results in this step can be set by the designer according to practical scenarios and user needs. For example, the processor can directly generate a corresponding configuration test report based on the configuration check results, such as categorizing and displaying the target configuration items to be restored and the target configuration items to be retained in the configuration test report. The processor can also generate a configuration test report based on the configuration check results and the configuration retention requirements in the configuration check information to facilitate users to understand whether the required configuration retention is met; wherein the configuration retention requirements include the default configuration item retention requirements (default) and the modified configuration item retention requirements (recover). For example, when the retention requirement for the default configuration item is retain (i.e., default= True), the configuration test report may display information that the configuration check result is the restored default configuration item (i.e., the erroneous default configuration item) or all the default configuration items are retained unchanged; when the retention requirement for the default configuration item is restore (i.e., default=Flase), the configuration test report may display information that the configuration check result is the retained default configuration item (i.e., the erroneous default configuration item) or all the default configuration items are restored; when the retention requirement for the modified configuration item is retain (i.e., recover = True), the configuration test report may display information that the configuration check result is the restored modified configuration item (i.e., the erroneous modified configuration item) or all the modified configuration items are retained unchanged; when the retention requirement for the modified configuration item is restore (i.e., recover = False), the configuration test report may display information that the configuration check result is the retained modified configuration item (i.e., the erroneous modified configuration item) or all the modified configuration items are restored.

[0096] In this embodiment, the embodiment of the present invention configures the baseboard management controller in the host to be tested according to the baseboard management controller information configuration file, so as to realize the automatic configuration of the BMC in the server host and improve the configuration efficiency; by checking the configured target configuration items in the baseboard management controller according to the configuration check information and obtaining the configuration check result, the retention status of the BMC configuration can be automatically checked, thereby realizing the automatic configuration and inspection of various BMC configurations, improving the inspection efficiency of the BMC configuration, and reducing the workload of related personnel.
