Currently, such computing devices are usually deployed in the form of device clusters, so how to better manage such computing devices deployed in the form of device clusters is a problem faced by the current field. Summary of the invention

[0003] The embodiments of the present application provide a device management system and computing device, which can reduce device management costs and achieve more unified device management, thereby better realizing the management of computing devices.

[0005] The SLB communication module is a communication module based on the Star Flash basic wireless communication technology, and can also be called the Star Flash basic SLB communication module; the SLE communication module is a communication module based on the Star Flash low-power wireless communication technology, and can also be called the Star Flash low-power SLE communication module.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, on the one hand, the device management module and the computing nodes and functional modules in multiple computing devices can communicate based on the Star Flash wireless communication technology. Compared with the wired communication connection method, the amount of wiring in the computing device is reduced, and the space utilization rate of the computing device can be effectively improved. On the other hand, a device management module can obtain the status information of multiple computing nodes and multiple functional modules in multiple computing devices for device management. Compared with the method in which a device management module can only obtain the status information corresponding to one computing device and can only manage the computing device, the number of deployed device management modules can be reduced, and the management cost of the computing device can be effectively reduced. On the other hand, the method of realizing wireless communication based on the Star Flash wireless communication technology can provide more access users compared to the method of realizing wireless communication through the wireless access point AP function provided by the wireless router, that is, based on the Star Flash wireless communication module, wireless communication connections can be established with more functional modules and computing nodes, and unified management of large-scale computing device clusters can be realized. In addition, using a device management module to obtain the status information of multiple computing devices and perform corresponding management can also realize the unified management of large-scale computing device clusters, thereby better realizing the management of computing devices.

[0007] Furthermore, since there are many computing nodes in the computing device, and they are high-power nodes, the amount of data corresponding to the status information of the computing nodes is large, the data importance is high, and the data transmission rate requirement is high.

[0050] The technical solution of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0051] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a computing device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0052] The computing device provided in the embodiments of the present application may be, for example, a whole cabinet server or other device that is usually arranged in a cluster. The following description will be made by taking the computing device as a whole cabinet server as an example.

[0053] The whole cabinet server is a server that uses a cabinet as a carrier. Figure 1 As shown, a whole rack server generally includes a rack, functional modules arranged in the rack, and server nodes. The functional modules include, for example, power modules such as a power supply unit (PSU), a battery backup unit (BBU), and sensors, etc. The sensors include, for example, temperature and humidity sensors, liquid leakage sensors, etc. Server nodes include, for example, computing nodes, switching nodes, storage nodes, etc. The computing nodes are, for example, servers, the switching nodes include, for example, one or more switches, and the storage nodes include, for example, one or more storage hard disks. In addition, the whole rack server may also include a device management module for managing the whole rack server. The device management module may include, for example, a rack management controller (RMC) and / or a baseboard management controller (BMC).

[0054] Rack Management Controller (RMC): A controller used to monitor and manage servers in the entire rack.

[0055] Battery backup unit BBU: also known as the backup power pack. When the power fails, the BBU will provide power support to some electrical components in the server, such as the memory.

[0056] The embodiments of the present application provide a device management system that can be used in a scenario where computing devices such as multiple whole cabinet servers are managed.

[0057] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 2As shown, the device management system includes a device management module, and the device management module includes a first SLB communication module and a first SLE communication module. The device management system also includes multiple computing devices such as computing device 1, computing device 2...computing device s, and the computing devices include multiple functional modules such as functional module 1, functional module 2...functional module m, and multiple computing nodes such as computing node 1, computing node 2...computing node n. Among them, each computing node can be the same or different, and each functional module can be the same or different. In addition, each computing node includes a second SLB communication module, and each functional module includes a second SLE communication module.

[0058] The device management module is respectively communicated and connected with the second SLB communication modules of multiple computing nodes of each computing device through the first SLB communication module to obtain status information of the multiple computing nodes, and the device management module is respectively communicated and connected with the second SLE communication modules of multiple functional modules of each computing device through the first SLE communication module to obtain status information of the multiple functional modules.

[0059] The device management module manages the plurality of computing devices based on the acquired status information of the plurality of computing nodes and the status information of the plurality of functional modules.

[0060] Exemplarily, in the case where the computing device is the aforementioned whole cabinet server, the computing node may be, for example, the aforementioned server, wherein the computing node status information may be, for example, the server's central processing unit (CPU) load, temperature, working status, and other parameter information related to the function realization, performance, etc. of the computing node, and the functional module may be, for example, the aforementioned sensor, PSU, BBU, etc., wherein the sensor status information may be, for example, the sensor temperature, the sensor working status, and other parameter information related to the function realization, performance, etc. of the sensor, the PSU status information may be, for example, the PSU working status, and other parameter information related to the function realization, performance, etc. of the sensor, and the BBU status information may be, for example, the BBU remaining power, working status, and other parameter information related to the function realization, performance, etc. of the sensor. That is, the computing node status information and the functional module status information may be parameter information related to its function realization, performance, etc.

[0061] In the case where the computing device is another type of device, the functional module and computing node may be the functional module and computing node corresponding to the corresponding device, which is determined according to the specific device type.

[0062] The SLB communication module is a wireless communication module based on the SLB technology, and the SLE communication module is a wireless communication module based on the SLE technology. The SLB communication module may include an SLB control chip and a first transceiver antenna connected to the SLB control chip, and the SLE communication module may include an SLE control chip and a second transceiver antenna connected to the control chip. The SLB control chip is a control chip based on the SLB technology, and the SLE control chip is a control chip based on the SLE technology.

[0063] The following table 1 shows the main performance indicators of the wireless communication module based on SLB technology, and table 2 shows the main performance indicators of the wireless communication module based on SLE technology. It can be seen that the wireless communication module based on SLB technology has the characteristics of low latency, high reliability, high precision, and high concurrency. The wireless communication module based on SLE technology has the characteristics of low cost and low power consumption.

[0064] In this implementation, since there are many computing nodes in the computing device and the computing nodes are high-power devices, the corresponding status information data has the characteristics of large data volume, high data importance, and high transmission rate requirements. Therefore, a wireless communication module based on SLB technology is used to establish a wireless communication connection with the computing nodes to transmit the status information data, which can improve the rate, accuracy and reliability of status information transmission.

[0065] Moreover, in the present embodiment, since the number of functional modules in the computing device is relatively small and the functional modules are low-power devices, the amount of data of the corresponding status information is relatively small. Therefore, a wireless communication module based on SLE technology is used to establish a wireless communication connection with the functional module to transmit the status information data. This can reduce power consumption and cost while meeting the status information transmission requirements.

[0066] Furthermore, Table 3 shows the performance comparison between the wireless communication module based on Star Flash technology and the wireless communication module corresponding to other common wireless communication technologies (Bluetooth and WiFi). It can be seen that the wireless communication module based on Star Flash technology is much higher than the wireless communication module based on other wireless communication technologies in terms of the number of access users and the transmission distance of the signal. Therefore, in this embodiment, the SLB communication module and the SLE communication module are selected to transmit status information data with the computing nodes and functional modules, which greatly increases the number of devices that can be managed by the management system, simplifies the system structure, and also improves the stability and distance of signal transmission, making the application scope of the system more extensive.

[0073] In summary, based on the device management system provided by the embodiment of the present application, on the one hand, the device management module and the computing nodes and functional modules in the computing device can communicate based on the Star Flash wireless communication technology. Compared with the wired communication connection method, the amount of wiring in the computing device is reduced, and the space utilization rate of the computing device can be effectively improved. On the other hand, a device management module can obtain the status information of multiple computing nodes and multiple functional modules in multiple computing devices for device management. Compared with the way that a device management module can only obtain the status information of one computing device and can only manage the computing device, the number of deployed device management modules can be reduced, and the management cost of the computing device can be effectively reduced. On the other hand, the way of realizing wireless communication based on the Star Flash wireless communication technology, compared with the way of realizing wireless communication through the wireless access point AP function provided by the wireless router, can provide more access users, that is, based on the Star Flash wireless communication module, wireless communication connections can be established with more functional modules, computing nodes, etc., and unified management of large-scale computing device clusters can be realized. In addition, the acquisition and management of the status information of multiple computing devices using a device management module can realize the unified management of large-scale computing device clusters, thereby better realizing the management of computing devices.

[0074] Furthermore, since the computing nodes in the computing device are high-power nodes, the data volume of the corresponding status information of the computing nodes is large, the data importance is high, and the data transmission rate requirement is high. The functional modules can be low-power modules such as sensors, power supply units, and battery backup units. The data volume of the corresponding status information of the functional modules is small, the data importance is low, and the data transmission rate requirement is low. Therefore, the device management module can establish a wireless communication connection with the computing node based on the SLB communication module. Based on the characteristics of low latency, high reliability, high precision, and high concurrency of the SLB technology, the transmission rate, precision, and reliability of the corresponding status information can be improved. Based on the SLE communication module, a wireless communication connection is established with the low-power functional module. Based on the low-cost and low-power characteristics of the SLE technology, power consumption and cost can be reduced while meeting the status information transmission requirements. In this way, the transmission requirements of status information in different scenarios can be met.

[0075] In another embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 As shown, the device management module also includes a management controller, which can be, for example, the aforementioned RMC, or a microcontroller unit (MCU), etc., or other controllers. The management controller is in communication connection with both the first SLB communication module and the first SLE communication module. The management controller obtains the status information of each computing node of the multiple computing devices through the first SLB communication module, and obtains the status information of each functional module of the multiple computing devices through the first SLE communication module, so as to manage the multiple computing devices. The corresponding computing devices are managed according to the acquired status information. For example, the working status of the computing device can be managed based on the acquired status information, and related management processes such as hardware monitoring, security management, and deployment information presentation can also be implemented. The specific management method can be set as needed.

[0076] In this way, based on the settings of the management controller, the device management module can perform management processing such as adjusting the working status of the relevant computing devices through the management controller based on the status information of each computing node and the status information of each functional module obtained, thereby better realizing the management of the computing devices.

[0077] It is understandable that the device management module also includes a circuit board, and the management controller, the first SLB communication module, and the first SLE communication module are all arranged on the circuit board. The management controller is connected to the first SLB communication module and the first SLE communication module respectively through the wiring in the circuit board. For example, the management controller is connected to the SLB control chip of the first SLB communication module. The management controller is connected to the SLE control chip of the first SLE communication module.

[0078] In another embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 As shown, the device management module may include a first device management module and multiple second device management modules, the first SLB communication module includes a first sub-SLB communication module and multiple second sub-SLB communication modules, the number of first SLE communication modules is multiple, the first device management module includes a first sub-SLB communication module, and each second device management module includes a second sub-SLB communication module and a first SLE communication module.

[0079] The second sub-SLB communication module of each second device management module is communicatively connected to the second SLB communication module of each computing node of each computing device in some computing devices among the multiple computing devices to obtain status information of each computing node of some computing devices.

[0080] The first SLE communication module of each second device management module is communicatively connected with the second SLE communication module of each functional module of each computing device in some computing devices among the multiple computing devices to obtain status information of each functional module of some computing devices.

[0081] The first sub-SLB communication module of the first device management module is communicatively connected with the second sub-SLB communication module of each second device management module to obtain status information of each computing node of all computing devices and status information of each functional module of all computing devices.

[0082] In this way, the second device management module can be understood as a group management module, which is used to obtain the status information of the corresponding multiple computing devices, and the first device management module can be understood as a group management module, which is used to obtain the status information of the multiple computing devices corresponding to the multiple group management modules. In this way, based on the group mode, the hierarchical acquisition of the status information of the computing devices can be better achieved.

[0083] In another embodiment of the present application, Figure 5 As shown, the first device management module also includes a first management controller, which is in communication connection with the first sub-SLB communication module. The first management controller obtains the status information of each computing node of all computing devices and the status information of each functional module of all computing devices through the first sub-SLB communication module to manage all computing devices. Exemplarily, the first management controller may include the aforementioned RMC. Of course, the first management controller may also include other devices besides RMC.

[0084] The second device management module also includes a second management controller, which is in communication connection with the second sub-SLB communication module and the first SLE communication module. The second management controller receives the status information of the computing nodes and the status information of the functional modules of the corresponding computing device through the second sub-SLB communication module and the first SLE communication module, respectively, and sends the status information of the computing nodes and the status information of the functional modules to the first management controller through the second sub-SLB communication module. Exemplarily, the second management controller may include the aforementioned MCU, for example. Of course, the second management controller may also include other devices besides the MCU.

[0085] Based on the settings of the first management controller and the second management controller, the first device management module and the second device management module can better achieve the acquisition of status information of the computing device and corresponding management.

[0086] It is understandable that the first device management module also includes a first circuit board, the first management controller and the first sub-SLB communication module are both arranged on the first circuit board and connected through the wiring in the first circuit board. The second device management module also includes a second circuit board, the second management controller, the second sub-SLB communication module and the first SLE communication module are arranged on the second circuit board, and the second management controller, the second sub-SLB communication module and the first SLE communication module are all connected through the wiring in the second circuit board.

[0087] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 6 As shown, the first management controller can, for example, establish a communication connection with the first sub-SLB communication module based on a high-speed serial expansion bus (peripheral component interconnect express, PCIe), and the second management controller can, for example, establish a communication connection with the second sub-SLB communication module and the first SLE communication module based on a universal asynchronous receiver / transmitter (UART).

[0088] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 6 As shown, the computing node also includes a BMC that is communicatively connected to the corresponding second SLB communication module. The BMC can obtain information such as the load of the corresponding CPU and other components as the status information of the computing node. The communication connection can be, for example, a communication connection based on PCIe. The BMC sends the status information of the computing node to the first SLB communication module through the second SLB communication module. Since PCIe is a tree-shaped interface bus with high bandwidth, the second SLB communication module is communicatively connected to the BMC using PCIe, which can effectively improve the information transmission rate.

[0089] It can be understood that the BMC is connected to the SLB control chip of the second SLB communication module.

[0090] The management controller obtains the status information of each computing node of the multiple computing devices through the first SLB communication module, which can be implemented in multiple ways:

[0091] 1. The management controller of the management device module can send a status information acquisition request to each computing node of multiple computing devices in a polling manner. For example, the management controller can send an acquisition request for the status information of the computing node to the SLB control chip of the first SLB communication module, and the SLB control chip sends the acquisition request through the first transceiver antenna connected to it. The first transceiver antenna of the second SLB communication module of the corresponding computing node receives the acquisition request and sends it to the SLB control chip connected to it. The SLB control chip forwards the acquisition request to the baseboard management controller of the computing node. After receiving the request, the baseboard management controller reports the status information of the computing node in response to the request.

[0092] 2. Each computing node of the plurality of computing devices can periodically or regularly report its status information to the management device module. For example, the BMC of the computing node sends its status information to the SLB control chip of the second SLB communication module connected thereto, and the SLB control chip sends the status information to the management device module through the first transceiver antenna connected thereto, and the first SLB communication module of the management device module receives the status information from the computing node through the first transceiver antenna connected thereto, and sends it to the SLB control chip of the first SLB communication module, and then sends it to the management controller of the management device module through the SLB control chip.

[0093] The power supply unit module and the battery backup unit module also respectively include a power management chip that is communicatively connected to the corresponding second SLE communication module. The corresponding communication connection can, for example, be the aforementioned communication connection based on the general purpose input / output port (General Purpose I / O Ports, GPIO). The power management chip sends the status information of the corresponding module to the first SLE communication module through the second SLE communication module.

[0094] It can be understood that the power management chip is connected to the SLE control chip of the second SLE communication module.

[0095] In the case where the functional modules are power supply unit modules and battery backup unit modules, the management controller may obtain the status information of each functional module of the plurality of computing devices through the first SLE communication module in a variety of ways:

[0096] 1. The management controller of the management device module can send a status information acquisition request to each functional module of multiple computing devices in a polling manner. For example, the management controller can send an acquisition request for the status information of the functional module to the SLE control chip of the first SLE communication module through the second transceiver antenna connected thereto, and the second transceiver antenna of the second SLE communication module of the corresponding functional module receives the acquisition request and sends it to the SLE control chip connected thereto, and the SLE control chip forwards the acquisition request to the power management chip of the functional module, and after receiving the request, the power management chip reports the status information of the functional module in response to the request.

[0097] 2. Each functional module of the plurality of computing devices can periodically or regularly report its status information to the management device module. For example, the power management chip of the functional module sends its status information to the SLE control chip of the second SLE communication module connected thereto, the SLE control chip sends the status information to the management device module via the second transceiver antenna connected thereto, the first SLE communication module of the management device module receives the status information from the functional module via the second transceiver antenna connected thereto, and sends it to the SLE control chip of the first SLE communication module, and then sends it to the management controller of the management device module via the SLE control chip.

[0098] In addition, the sensor module may also include, for example, temperature, humidity or liquid leakage sensor devices, and other functional modules may also include corresponding other processing devices, which may be set as needed. The sensor device includes a register, and when the sensor device is a temperature sensor, the register stores a temperature value, when the sensor device is a humidity sensor, the register stores a humidity value, and when the sensor device is a liquid leakage sensor, the register stores a liquid leakage state value.

[0099] The SLE control chip of the second SLE communication module of the sensor module is connected to the register of the sensor device, so that the SLE control chip can read the value in the register and report it to the management control module.

[0100] In the case where the functional module is a sensor module, the management controller may obtain the status information of each functional module of the plurality of computing devices through the first SLE communication module in a number of ways:

[0101] 1. The management controller of the management device module can send a status information acquisition request to each functional module of the multiple computing devices in a polling manner. For example, the management controller can send an acquisition request for the status information of the functional module to the SLE control chip of the first SLE communication module through the second transceiver antenna connected thereto to send the acquisition request, and the second transceiver antenna of the second SLE communication module of the corresponding functional module receives the acquisition request and sends it to the SLE control chip connected thereto, and the SLE control chip reads data from the corresponding register in response to the request and reports the read data as the status information of the functional module.

[0102] 2. The periodic or timed register of each functional module of the plurality of computing devices triggers the SLE control chip of the second SLE communication module connected thereto, prompting the management device module to read its own status information.

[0103] In another embodiment of the present application, compared to the aforementioned Figure 4 The equipment management system, such as Figure 7 As shown, the first sub-SLB communication module of the first device management module can be directly communicated with the second SLB communication module of each computing node of each computing device in the multiple computing devices to obtain status information of each computing node of each computing device.

[0104] The first SLE communication module of each second device management module is respectively communicated with the second SLE communication module of each functional module of each computing device in only some of the computing devices among the multiple computing devices to obtain status information of each functional module of some of the computing devices.

[0105] Furthermore, the first sub-SLB communication module of the first device management module is also communicatively connected with the second sub-SLB communication module of each second device management module to obtain the status information of each functional module of the computing device obtained by the second device management module.

[0106] In this way, the second device management module only obtains the status information of each functional module in the corresponding computing device and sends it to the first device management module, and the first device management module directly obtains the status information of each computing node in all computing devices. Thus, the first device management module can obtain the status information of all functional modules obtained by the second device management module, so as to obtain the status information of each functional module in all computing devices, and directly obtain the status information of each computing node in all computing devices, so as to obtain the corresponding status information of the computing devices. Thus, more unified device management can be achieved, and the management of computing devices can be better achieved.

[0107] like Figure 8As shown, the device management system provided by the embodiment of the present application may include multiple second device management modules and one first device management module, each second device management module serves as a group management module, and is used to obtain status information of multiple computing devices. The first device management module serves as a group management module, and is used to obtain the status information of the computing devices obtained by each group management module and perform corresponding management.

[0108] For example, taking a computer room with 100 computing devices as an example, each computing device includes 36 computing nodes, 12 PSUs, 6 BBUs, 1 temperature and humidity sensor, and 1 liquid leakage sensor.

[0109] Ten computing devices are used as a computing device group, and each computing device group is configured with a second device management module as a group management module. The group management module is used to obtain status information of 200 functional modules in the computing device group, such as 12 power supply units, 6 battery backup units, 1 temperature and humidity sensor, and 1 leakage sensor, in total, to manage these 200 functional modules.

[0110] Take 100 computing devices as a computing device group, and configure a first device management module for each computing device group as a group management module. One group management module corresponds to 10 group management modules. The group management module is used to obtain the status information of all computing nodes in the computing device group to manage a total of 3,600 computing nodes, and can also manage the second device management modules of each computing device group at the same time. In addition, the group management module can also obtain the status information of each functional module obtained by the corresponding group management module to achieve management of the functional modules.

[0111] Further, in one embodiment of the present application, the SLB communication module can support, for example, 4096 users (i.e., computing nodes) access, with a peak rate of 900Mbps, and has the characteristics of low latency, high reliability, precise synchronization, and high concurrency. The SLE communication module can support 256 users (i.e., functional modules) access, with a peak rate of 12Mbps, and has the characteristics of low cost and low power consumption.

[0112] In one embodiment of the present application, the device management module may be disposed in one of the plurality of computing devices. Of course, the device management module may also be disposed in a location other than the computing device instead of in the computing device.

[0113] In one embodiment of the present application, the first device management module is disposed in one of the plurality of computing devices, and / or the second computing device module is disposed in one of the plurality of computing devices. Fig. 9As shown, the first device management module and the second computing device module can be set in the same computing device 1. Of course, the first device management module and the second computing device module can also be set in different computing devices, or the first device management module and the second computing device module can also be set not in the computing device, but in other locations outside the computing device.

[0114] In one implementation of the present application, the above-mentioned device management system is a Star Flash wireless communication system, wherein, for example, a computing node in a computing device can be understood as a T node in the Star Flash wireless communication system, and a device management module can be understood as a G node in the Star Flash wireless communication system. In the Star Flash wireless communication system, G nodes and T nodes have different functions and roles, respectively. Among them, G nodes are authorized nodes with the ability to manage a certain number of T nodes, and T nodes are devices managed by G nodes, which transmit and receive data under the management of G nodes. These managed T nodes together with the G nodes constitute a communication domain. In this communication domain, both G nodes and T nodes can transmit and receive data. Then, if Fig.10 As shown, the first device management module is used as an example of a G-node device, and the computing node is used as an example of a T-node device. The process of establishing a wireless communication connection between the G-node device and the T-node device based on the corresponding SLB communication module may include the following steps:

[0115] S101, a first SLB communication module in a G-node device sends a time synchronization signal to a second SLB communication module in a T-node device.

[0116] The time synchronization signal includes a first training signal (FTS) and a second training signal (STS). Among them, FTS is a coarse synchronization signal and STS is a fine synchronization signal. One FTS and one STS form a group. In each group of signals, the signal that appears first in the time domain is FTS, and the signal that appears later in the time domain is STS. FTS is a ZC (Zadoff-Chu) sequence with a root index of 1 or 40 and a length of 39. STS is a ZC sequence with a root index between 1 and 20 and a length of 39.

[0117] After the second SLB communication module receives the time synchronization signal, it can achieve downlink synchronization with the first SLB communication module according to FTS and STS.

[0118] S102: The first SLB communication module in the G node device sends broadcast information to the second SLB communication module in the T node device.

[0119] S103, the first SLB communication module in the G node device sends communication domain system information to the second SLB communication module in the T node device. The communication domain system information may include connection information required for basic connection to complete the interaction of basic connection information related to SLB.

[0120] S104, after receiving the time synchronization signal, broadcast information, and communication domain system information, the second SLB communication module exchanges random access information with the first SLB communication module, initiates a random access request, and returns a first message including a random access request to the first SLB communication module.

[0121] S105: After receiving the first message including the random access request, the first SLB communication module accepts the access request and feeds back a second message including the random access response request to the second SLB communication module.

[0122] S106: The second SLB communication module returns a third message including, for example, an extended remote copy (eXtended Remote Copy, XRC) setting request to the first SLB communication module in response to the second message.

[0123] S107, after receiving the third message including the XRC setting request, the first SLB communication module performs XRC related settings and feeds back a fourth message including the XRC setting message to the second SLB communication module to complete the contention random access of the T-node device.

[0124] S108: The first SLB communication module and the second SLB communication module are paired and authenticated to establish a corresponding communication connection.

[0125] After pairing and authentication are successful, the second SLB communication module sends the status information of the T-node device and the like to the G-node device that is communicatively connected to the first SLB communication module via the second SLB communication module.

[0126] Furthermore, an embodiment of the present application also provides a computing device, such as Fig.11 As shown, the computing device includes a device management module, multiple functional modules and multiple computing nodes, the device management module includes a first SLB communication module and a first SLE communication module, the computing node includes a second SLB communication module and a baseboard management controller, the second SLB communication module is connected to the baseboard management controller, the functional module includes a second SLE communication module, the device management module is communicated with the second SLB communication module of each computing node through the first SLB communication module, and obtains the status information of the computing node sent by the baseboard management controller of each computing node, and the device management module is communicated with the second SLE communication module of each functional module through the first SLE communication module to obtain the status information of each functional module.

[0127] In this way, on the one hand, the device management module can communicate with the computing nodes and functional modules in the computing devices arranged in the form of device clusters, such as the whole cabinet server, based on the Star Flash wireless communication technology. Compared with the wired connection method, the amount of wiring in the computing device is reduced, which can effectively improve the space utilization of the computing device. On the other hand, a device management module can obtain the status information of all computing nodes and functional modules in the computing device for device management, which can achieve more unified device management, thereby better realizing the management of computing devices.

[0128] In one embodiment of the present application, the device management module can also communicate with the functional modules and computing nodes of other computing devices other than the computing device through the first SLB communication module and the first SLE communication module to obtain corresponding status information and implement corresponding management.

[0129] By adopting this technical solution, a device management module can obtain the status information of computing nodes and functional modules in multiple computing devices for device management. Compared with the method in which a device management module can only obtain the status information of one computing device and can only manage the computing device, the number of deployed device management modules can be reduced, and the management cost of computing devices can be effectively reduced. In addition, by using a device management module to obtain and manage the status information of multiple computing devices, more unified device management can be achieved, thereby better realizing the management of computing devices.

[0130] In one embodiment of the present application, the device management module further includes a management controller, which is respectively connected to the first SLB communication module and the first SLE communication module. The management controller obtains the status information of each computing node of the plurality of computing devices through the first SLB communication module, and obtains the status information of each functional module of the plurality of computing devices through the first SLE communication module, so as to manage the plurality of computing devices. The management controller may be, for example, the aforementioned RMC, or a microcontroller unit (MCU), or other controllers.

[0131] In one embodiment of the present application, the plurality of functional modules include a sensor module, a power supply unit module, and a battery backup unit module;

[0132] The power supply unit module also includes a power management chip that is communicatively connected to the second SLE communication module, and the power management chip sends status information of the power supply unit module to the first SLE communication module through the second SLE communication module;

[0133] The battery backup unit module also includes a power management chip that is communicatively connected to the second SLE communication module. The power management chip sends status information of the battery backup unit module to the first SLE communication module through the second SLE communication module.

[0134] In one implementation of the present application, the device management module may further include corresponding modules such as the aforementioned first device management module and / or second device management module, and implement corresponding processing.

[0135] Exemplarily, in one embodiment of the present application, the device management module includes a first device management module and a second device management module, the first SLB communication module includes a first sub-SLB communication module and multiple second sub-SLB communication modules, the first device management module includes a first sub-SLB communication module, and the second device management module includes a second sub-SLB communication module and a first SLE communication module; the second sub-SLB communication module of the second device management module is respectively communicated and connected with the second SLB communication module of each computing node to obtain status information of each computing node; the first SLE communication module of the second device management module is respectively communicated and connected with the second SLE communication module of each functional module to obtain status information of each functional module; the first sub-SLB communication module of the first device management module is communicated and connected with the second sub-SLB communication module of the second device management module to obtain status information of each computing node and status information of each functional module to manage the computing device.

[0136] In one implementation of the present application, a plurality of second device management modules may be provided to obtain corresponding status information corresponding to different computing nodes and functional modules.

[0137] In other embodiments of the present application, the device management module may also include the aforementioned corresponding modules such as the management controller, and implement corresponding processing. For details, please refer to the aforementioned description of the relevant modules in the device management system, which will not be elaborated here and can be set as needed.

[0138] In summary, the device management system and computing device provided by the embodiment of the present application, on the one hand, the device management module and the computing nodes and functional modules in the computing devices arranged in the device cluster mode, such as the whole cabinet server, can communicate based on the star flash wireless communication technology. Compared with the wired connection mode, the amount of wiring and interfaces in the computing device are reduced, the wiring is simplified, and the space utilization rate of the computing device can be effectively improved. On the other hand, a device management module can obtain the status information of the computing nodes and functional modules in multiple computing devices for device management. Compared with the mode in which a device management module can only obtain the status information of one computing device and can only manage the computing device, the number of deployed device management modules can be reduced, and the management cost of the computing device can be effectively reduced. On the other hand, the way in which the star flash wireless communication technology realizes wireless communication, compared with the way in which wireless communication is realized by the wireless access point AP function provided by the wireless router, more access users can be provided, that is, based on the star flash wireless communication module, wireless communication connections can be established with more functional modules, computing nodes, etc., and unified management of large-scale computing device clusters can be realized. In addition, the acquisition and management of the status information of multiple computing devices using a device management module can realize unified management of large-scale computing device clusters, thereby better realizing the management of computing devices.

[0139] Furthermore, since the computing nodes in the computing device are high-power consumption nodes, the functional modules may be low-power consumption modules such as sensor modules, power supply units, and battery backup units. Therefore, the device management module may establish a wireless communication connection with the high-power consumption computing nodes based on the SLB communication module, and establish a wireless communication connection with the low-power consumption functional modules based on the SLE communication module to meet the transmission requirements of status information in different scenarios.

[0140] Furthermore, based on the aforementioned group management and team management modes, the limitations of internal management of computing devices are broken, and group management and team management of computing devices are realized. For computing device clusters, the management levels are reduced, flatter management is achieved, and management costs are effectively reduced.
