Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of baseboard management controllers, and in particular to a baseboard management controller management method, device, computer equipment and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In today's world of rapid technological advancement, baseboard management controller (BMC) management devices play a vital role in maintaining the stable operation of hardware components such as servers and storage devices. However, existing BMC management devices are not perfect, and they have significant defects in many aspects. These defects not only affect the performance of the device, but may also pose a threat to the stability and security of the entire system. Therefore, it is necessary to deeply analyze these defects in order to provide a strong basis for future technical improvements.

[0003] First, the existing BMC management device has significant deficiencies in firmware updates. When the hardware component configuration changes, such as position changes, quantity increases or decreases, etc., the settings in the BMC firmware often cannot adapt to the new configuration in a timely manner. This results in the firmware having to be updated to adapt to the new hardware environment. However, the existing firmware update process is cumbersome and inefficient. Usually, the update process requires recompiling the program code and packaging it into an image file based on the hardware component configuration provided by the user. Subsequently, the user or engineering staff needs to operate the device to overwrite the old firmware with the new image file. This update method is not only complicated to operate, but also prone to errors, which brings great inconvenience to users. In addition, since the changes in the hardware component configuration and the updates of the core program are mixed in the same image file, firmware version management becomes extremely difficult. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a baseboard management controller management method, which adopts the following technical solution, including:

[0005] Configure the BMC IP address and gateway parameters;

[0022] If the target application meets all security standards, the BMC installs it into the server's current firmware.

[0023] Preferably, the step of obtaining multimedia information on the server and performing security management on the multimedia information specifically includes:

[0024] BMC obtains trigger information to determine whether the output of multimedia information needs to be changed;

[0025] The BMC determines whether the trigger information matches the preset configuration information;

[0026] If the trigger information matches the configuration information, the multimedia information output by the BMC is controlled to be different from the multimedia information output by the server, or an instruction information is sent to the server to instruct the server to disconnect the port switch connected to the external device;

[0027] The BMC uses the DAC to output preset multimedia information or scramble the multimedia information output by the server.

[0028] Preferably, the steps of real-time monitoring of server hardware status and generating a fault report specifically include:

[0029] Real-time monitoring of the server's CPU temperature, voltage level, memory status, and hard disk health parameters;

[0030] When a server fails, the BMC automatically generates a fault report, including the fault type, occurrence time, and impact scope.

[0031] Preferably, the step of performing remote management according to the fault report specifically includes:

[0032] Locate the fault according to the fault report;

[0033] Perform remote management based on the fault location results.

[0058] Embodiment 1

[0059] Continue to refer Figure 2 , shows a flow chart of an embodiment of a baseboard management controller management method of the present invention. The baseboard management controller management method comprises the following steps:

[0060] Step S1, configure the IP address and gateway parameters of the BMC.

[0061] BMC is designed based on the IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) technical specification to achieve intelligent management of the motherboard. IPMI is an open standard that allows standardized communication between system management software and platform hardware.

[0062] In this embodiment, the baseboard management controller manages the electronic device (eg Figure 1 The server / terminal device shown in the figure) can receive the baseboard management controller management request through a wired connection or a wireless connection. It should be noted that the above wireless connection method may include but is not limited to 3G / 4G / 5G connection, WiFi connection, Bluetooth connection, WiMAXX connection, Zigbee connection, UWB (ultra wideband) connection, and other wireless connection methods currently known or to be developed in the future.

[0063] In this embodiment, step S1, configuring the IP address and gateway parameters of the BMC may further include the following steps:

[0064] S11, log in to the BMC management system through the BMC Web UI.

[0065] BMC provides a Web UI interface. Users can log in to the BMC Web UI through a browser to implement remote management of the server.

[0066] Enter the BMC IP address in the browser and use the default login user name and password (such as admin / admin) to log in to the BMC Web interface.

[0067] S12, configure an IP address for the BMC to ensure that the BMC can communicate through the network.

[0068] On the network configuration page of the BMC web interface, select the static IP configuration mode and enter the BMC IP address, subnet mask, gateway and other parameters.

[0069] S13, configure the network access rights of the BMC to ensure that only authorized users can access the BMC management system.

[0070] On the User Configuration page of the BMC Web interface, add and manage users, and set user access rights and roles.

[0071] Step S2: Add and manage BMC users and set user permissions.

[0072] In this embodiment, step S2, adding and managing BMC users, and setting user permissions may further include the following steps:

[0073] S21, add a new user in the BMC management system.

[0074] On the User Configuration page of the BMC Web interface, select the Add User option, enter the user's user name, password and other information, and set the user's permissions and roles.

[0075] S22, setting the user's access rights to ensure that the user can only access and operate the content within the scope of his or her authority.

[0076] On the User Configuration page of the BMC Web interface, select the User Permission Settings option and set the user's permission level and role according to user requirements.

[0077] S23, enabling the added user to log in to the BMC management system.

[0078] On the User Configuration page of the BMC Web interface, select Enable User and set the user's enable status to Enable.

[0079] Step S3, managing the BMC firmware and installing the application.

[0080] In this embodiment, step S3, managing the BMC firmware, and installing the application program may specifically include the following steps:

[0081] S31, setting the security standards of the BMC firmware for the real-time installed application, including user permissions, manufacturer authentication of the application, and security check of the installation package content.

[0082] In terms of user rights, set a password for each BMC user, and the password must meet security standards. At the same time, grant different access and operation permissions based on user roles (such as user, senior user, administrator) to ensure that only authorized users can install applications.

[0083] The manufacturer certification of the application is the key to ensure security. The authenticity of the application source should be verified, and only applications provided by officially certified or trusted manufacturers should be accepted.

[0084] Security checks on the contents of the installation package are also crucial. The installation package should be checked for integrity and the MD5 value of the file should be checked to ensure that the file has not been tampered with during transmission. At the same time, decompiled code checks should also be performed to ensure that sensitive information is not hard-coded in the application. In addition, the installation package signature is also an important means of verifying the legitimacy of the installation package.

[0085] S32, when receiving the installation request of the target application, the BMC checks whether the request meets the preset security standard.

[0086] This includes verifying the authority of the sender of the request, checking whether the application is certified by the manufacturer, and confirming whether the installation package contains viruses.

[0087] S33, if the target application meets all security standards, the BMC installs it into the current firmware of the server.

[0088] This process allows users to flexibly install and manage applications without waiting for firmware version updates.

[0089] Through step S3, users can flexibly add and manage applications dynamically as needed without waiting for firmware updates. Through strict security standards, only applications that meet the regulations can be installed, improving the security of the system.

[0090] Step S4, obtaining multimedia information on the server and performing security management on the multimedia information.

[0091] In this embodiment, step S4, obtaining multimedia information on the server, and performing security management on the multimedia information may further include the following steps:

[0092] S41, the BMC determines whether the output of the multimedia information needs to be changed by obtaining trigger information.

[0093] The trigger information can come from the BMC firmware or other management commands.

[0094] S42, the BMC determines whether the trigger information matches the preset configuration information.

[0095] These configuration information include disabling external devices, prohibiting the display of multimedia information output by the server, etc.

[0096] S43, if the trigger information matches the configuration information, the multimedia information output by the BMC is controlled to be different from the multimedia information output by the server or an instruction information is sent to the server to instruct the server to disconnect the port switch with the external device.

[0097] Compare the trigger information with the preset configuration information in real time to ensure that the subsequent operation is triggered immediately after the match is successful. If the match is successful, the system will automatically detect the multimedia information output by the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) and the server, and ensure that the content of the two is different through comparative analysis. If the content is detected to be consistent, the output content is adjusted through the BMC to achieve differentiated display.

[0098] At the same time, the system needs to send clear instructions to the server. When the trigger information matches the configuration information, the server can be quickly instructed to disconnect the port switch of the external device to ensure system security and reasonable allocation of resources. This process needs to ensure the real-time and accuracy of communication to avoid system instability caused by delays or misoperation.

[0099] S44, the BMC uses the DAC to output preset multimedia information or scrambles the multimedia information output by the server.

[0100] This ensures that users cannot obtain the real multimedia information of the server through the display.

[0101] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, after step S4 and before step S5, the electronic device may further perform the following steps:

[0102] S45, BMC manages and optimizes the power supply.

[0103] BMC power management is crucial to the stability and reliability of the system. Through intelligent power switching and monitoring mechanisms, the stability and energy efficiency of the system can be improved.

[0104] Power module startup: After the server is powered on, the first power module will output power to the flash memory of the BMC to start the firmware. If the BMC fails to start normally, the system will automatically switch to the second power supply.

[0105] Reference voltage provision: Once the BMC is successfully started, the second power module starts to provide reference voltage to ensure the normal operation of the bus.

[0106] Bus status monitoring: Real-time monitoring of the working status of the bus to ensure system reliability. If an abnormality is detected, the BMC will promptly report the information to the upper-level network management through various industry-wide standards such as SNMP, SMTP, and Redfish.

[0107] Intelligent power switching: Based on system status and needs, the BMC can intelligently switch power modules to optimize energy efficiency and stability.

[0108] Step S45 improves the stability and reliability of the system through intelligent power switching and monitoring mechanisms, and intelligently adjusts the power supply according to system requirements to reduce energy consumption.

[0109] Step S5, real-time monitoring of server hardware status and generation of fault reports.

[0110] In this embodiment, step S5, real-time monitoring of server hardware status and generation of a fault report may further include the following steps:

[0111] S51, real-time monitoring of the server's CPU temperature, voltage level, memory status, and hard disk health parameters. In the monitoring management page of the BMC Web interface, view real-time hardware status information, including temperature, voltage, memory usage, hard disk health, etc.

[0112] S52, when a server fails, the BMC automatically generates a fault report including the fault type, occurrence time, and impact scope information.

[0113] On the Fault Management page of the BMC web interface, view the generated fault report.

[0114] Step S6: Perform remote management based on the fault report.

[0115] In this embodiment, step S6, performing remote management according to the fault report may further include the following steps:

[0116] S61: locate the fault according to the fault report.

[0117] Analyze the information in the crash report. The crash report provides error codes, timestamps, and related system logs.

[0118] The first step is to check the fault code. Use the server's fault diagnosis digital tube or log in to the BMC Web UI to check the fault code and locate the problem by comparing it with the fault code table.

[0119] The second step is to check the operation log. The BMC will record the server's operation log. By checking these logs, you can find potential sources of problems. Pay special attention to the logs before and after the abnormal restart, which will help narrow the scope of troubleshooting.

[0120] The third step is to check the hardware connections and verify the LED activity of all relevant ports and the management port to ensure that they are in the normal state.

[0121] The fourth step is to test the network connectivity and use the ping command to confirm that the BMC IP address can respond stably to ensure the stability of the network connection.

[0122] S62: Perform remote management according to the fault location result.

[0123] Perform remote management operations through the BMC management system, such as remote startup, shutdown, restart, and system installation. On the remote management page of the BMC Web interface, select the corresponding remote management operation option and follow the prompts to complete the remote management operation.

[0124] Implementing this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:

[0125] By configuring the IP address and gateway parameters of the BMC, the convenience and accuracy of remote management are ensured; by adding and managing BMC users and setting user permissions, the security and order of the management system are effectively maintained; by managing the BMC firmware and installing application programs, not only the stable operation of the system is guaranteed, but also the overall performance of the server is improved; by obtaining and securely managing multimedia information on the server, information leakage and illegal access are effectively prevented, further enhancing the protection capability of the server; by real-time monitoring of the server hardware status and generating fault reports, managers can respond quickly to hardware problems and reduce system downtime; remote management based on fault reports not only reduces maintenance costs, but also greatly improves the efficiency of problem solving; while achieving efficient management, it also ensures the safety and stable operation of the server.
