[0044] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the technical solutions of the present application and are not used to limit the present application.
[0045] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0046] Existing motherboard management controllers have some limitations in identifying and managing multiple boards (such as motherboards, hard disk boards, riser cards, etc.). Especially in multi-machine server scenarios, traditional motherboard management controllers need to be equipped with a dedicated software version for each model to identify and manage boards, which is prone to errors and difficult to achieve effective management of boards.
[0047] Therefore, in order to overcome the above-mentioned defects, the present application provides a solution, which obtains backplane identification information and board configuration information based on non-volatile storage device partitions, parses the backplane identification information corresponding to all non-volatile storage device addresses, and effectively manages the boards based on the parsing results and the board configuration information, thereby improving the automatic identification and management capabilities of multiple boards.
[0048] It should be noted that the execution subject of each embodiment of the present application may be a board management device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as an electronic device or a motherboard management controller capable of implementing the above functions. The following embodiments are described below taking the motherboard management controller as an example.
[0049] Based on this, the present application embodiment provides a board management method, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the first embodiment of the board management method of the present application.
[0050] In this embodiment, the board management method includes steps S10 to S30:
[0051] Step S10: acquiring backplane identification information from a first partition of a non-volatile storage device, and acquiring board configuration information from a second partition of the non-volatile storage device.
[0052] It should be noted that the main body of the execution, the motherboard management controller, is a dedicated subsystem on the hardware server. It allows administrators to monitor and manage the hardware status of the server through remote management tools that are independent of the main operating system, the central processing unit (CPU) and the main memory, such as whether the board is operating normally, whether there is a fault alarm (such as overheating, voltage instability, communication failure, etc.), whether the hard disk has bad sectors or signs of impending damage, etc. The role of the board in the hardware server is diverse, such as realizing the gateway function to help the slave stations under the industrial computer to perform protocol conversion, control the operation of specific hardware (such as displays, acquisition cards, etc.), etc. Identifying and effectively managing the board can not only ensure the normal operation and efficient performance of the server, but also timely discover and handle potential hardware failures, and improve the reliability and stability of the server. Through the motherboard management controller to monitor and manage the board in real time, the administrator can grasp the running status, firmware version and other information of the board, so as to carry out timely maintenance and repair.
[0053] In addition, it should be noted that a non-volatile storage device is a computer memory that can keep storing data when the power is turned off or the external power is lost. Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM) is an important type of non-volatile storage device. It has the characteristics of being erasable, programmable, and non-volatile, and is suitable for storing data that needs to be frequently modified. In addition to EEPROM, non-volatile storage devices also include many other types, such as Programmable Read-only Memory (PROM), Erasable Programmable Read-only Memory (EPROM), and Flash Memory.
[0054] It should be understood that the persistent storage characteristics of non-volatile storage devices are utilized to divide them into different areas (e.g., a first partition and a second partition, or more partitions) to store data separately. Specifically, the first partition of the non-volatile storage device is used to store backplane identification information, while the second partition of the non-volatile storage device is used to store board configuration information. When executing the steps of the board management method of the present application, a read command or function (e.g., Wire.requestFrom function, EEPROM.read function, etc.) can be used to read the backplane identification information from the first partition of the non-volatile storage device, and read the board configuration information from the second partition of the non-volatile storage device. Among them, the backplane is a circuit board or frame that can provide high-speed interconnection communication for each functional board; the backplane identification information can be a field replaceable unit (Field Replace Unit, FRU) information, which can include information such as board manufacturer, serial number, production time, etc.; the board configuration information can include board type, function, fault detection information, etc.
[0055] Furthermore, in order to ensure the standardization and compatibility of data, before step S10, it may include: based on the preset space capacity and the preset address range, in accordance with the field replaceable unit information format of the intelligent platform management interface protocol, generating a binary file of the backplane identification information; writing the binary file to the first partition of the non-volatile storage device; describing the board configuration information in accordance with the preset format, and writing the board configuration information to the second partition of the non-volatile storage device.
[0056] It should be understood that the storage space size and storage address range required for the backplane identification information can be determined according to the requirements of the board management device, that is, the preset space capacity and the preset address range can be determined. According to the field replaceable unit information format of the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) protocol, a binary file containing the backplane identification information is generated, and the generated binary file is written to the first partition of the non-volatile storage device using a write command or function. At the same time, according to the requirements of the board management device, the format and content of the board configuration information are determined, and the board configuration information is written to the second partition of the non-volatile storage device, thereby improving data management efficiency.
[0057] Step S20, traversing the non-volatile storage device address, and parsing the backplane identification information corresponding to the non-volatile storage device address to obtain a parsing result.
[0058] It should be noted that the non-volatile storage device address refers to a unique identifier used to locate and access a storage unit in the non-volatile storage device, and determines the location where data can be accurately read and written.
[0059] Furthermore, the step S20 may include: sending an address scanning instruction to the non-volatile storage device through the integrated circuit bus to traverse the address of the non-volatile storage device; reading the corresponding backplane identification information according to the non-volatile storage device address, and verifying the backplane identification information based on the data integrity verification algorithm; after the verification is passed, parsing the backplane identification information according to the field replaceable unit information storage format to obtain the parsing result.
[0060] It is understandable that an address scanning instruction is sent to the non-volatile storage device through the Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) bus, and the purpose of the instruction is to traverse all addresses in the non-volatile storage device in order to find the specific location where the backplane identification information is stored. During the traversal process, whenever an address is accessed, the corresponding backplane identification information is attempted to be read from the address.
[0061] In order to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the information, the read backplane identification information needs to be verified by the data integrity verification algorithm to prevent errors caused by data corruption or tampering. The data integrity verification algorithm may include checksums, hash value comparisons, or other forms of encryption verification. If the backplane identification information passes the data integrity verification, the backplane identification information will be parsed according to the field replaceable unit information storage format to obtain a parsing result, which contains useful information extracted from the backplane identification information, such as the model, serial number, manufacturer, etc. of the board.
[0062] Step S30: managing the board based on the analysis result and the board configuration information.
[0063] It can be understood that by parsing the backplane identification information stored in the non-volatile storage device, key information such as the type, manufacturer, serial number, etc. of the board can be accurately identified. Combining the parsing results with the board configuration information, the board can be accurately managed, which can include performance monitoring, fault warning, resource allocation, etc.
[0064] This embodiment obtains the backplane identification information from the first partition of the non-volatile storage device, and obtains the board configuration information from the second partition of the non-volatile storage device, traverses the non-volatile storage device address, and parses the backplane identification information corresponding to the non-volatile storage device address to obtain the parsing result, and manages the board based on the parsing result and the board configuration information. This application obtains the backplane identification information and the board configuration information based on the non-volatile storage device partition, parses the backplane identification information corresponding to all non-volatile storage device addresses, and effectively manages the board based on the parsing result and the board configuration information, thereby improving the automatic identification and management capabilities for multiple boards.
[0065] Based on the first embodiment of the present application, in the second embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be repeated in the following. Figure 2 , the step S30 may include steps S301 to S303:
[0066] Step S301, when the parsing result is successful, create a message bus object according to the board configuration information, and publish the message bus object to the message bus.
[0067] It should be understood that after successfully parsing the backplane identification information in the non-volatile storage device, a corresponding message bus object is created according to the acquired board configuration information. The message bus object is used to transmit the board configuration information. After the creation is completed, the message bus object is published to the message bus so that other modules or processes can receive this information.
[0068] Step S302: when the parsing result is parsing failure, discard the non-volatile storage device address and read the next non-volatile storage device address.
[0069] It is understandable that if the backplane identification information in the non-volatile storage device cannot be successfully parsed, the non-volatile storage device address currently being processed is discarded, and the next non-volatile storage device address is read for an attempt, ensuring that when the identification board encounters a problem, it can automatically skip and continue to process other devices, thereby improving fault tolerance.
[0070] Step S303, after parsing the backplane identification information corresponding to all non-volatile storage device addresses, the board is managed based on the preset board function object and the message bus.
[0071] It is understandable that after successfully parsing the backplane identification information corresponding to all non-volatile storage device addresses, the boards are uniformly managed according to the preset board function objects and message bus. Among them, the preset board function objects can be predefined according to the type, function and other characteristics of the board, and are used to implement the initialization, configuration, monitoring and other functions of the board. The board configuration information is obtained in real time through the message bus, and the corresponding management operations are performed on the board accordingly.
[0072] The step S303 may include: after parsing the backplane identification information corresponding to all non-volatile storage device addresses, dividing the management process according to the preset board function objects, and monitoring the board configuration information on the message bus in real time according to the management process; when the board configuration information changes, obtaining the change information, and triggering the monitoring process by broadcasting a signal message; after the monitoring process is started, creating a new board function object based on the change information, and managing the board according to the new board function object.
[0073] It should be understood that the board management tasks are divided into different management processes according to the preset board function objects, and each management process is responsible for processing a specific type of board or performing a specific management task, and monitoring the board configuration information on the message bus in real time. When the board configuration information changes, such as the board is replaced, the configuration is modified, etc., the message bus will publish this information in real time. By receiving this information on the message bus, the latest configuration status of the board can be obtained in real time.
[0074] When the management process detects changes in the board configuration information, it will obtain these change information and trigger the corresponding monitoring process through broadcast signal messages. The monitoring process is responsible for further monitoring and management of the board based on the change information. After the monitoring process is started, a new board function object is created based on the acquired change information. The new board function object reflects the current configuration and status information of the board. Based on the new board function object, the board is updated for configuration, performance monitoring, and other operations to ensure the stable operation of the board.
[0075] Furthermore, after the monitoring process is started, a new board function object is created based on the change information, and the step of managing the board according to the new board function object may include: after the monitoring process is started, key information is obtained by parsing the change information; based on the key information, a new board function object is determined to be created, and the board is monitored through the new board function object; when there is an abnormal situation in the monitoring process, an alarm mechanism and a fault recovery mechanism are triggered, and the fault recovery mechanism includes a fault detection module, a fault analysis module and an implementation recovery module.
[0076] It is understandable that during the monitoring process, if the system detects an abnormal situation, such as a degradation of board performance, a configuration error, etc., an alarm mechanism will be triggered, which may include sending an alarm message to the administrator to remind the administrator to pay attention to and deal with the problem in a timely manner. At the same time, the system will also start a fault recovery mechanism, which may include a fault detection module, a fault analysis module, and an implementation recovery module. These modules work together to locate, analyze, and repair the fault.
[0077] For ease of understanding, refer to Figure 3 This invention is provided for illustration, but is not intended to limit the present application. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the process of monitoring the configuration information of a board card in the board card management method of this application. The steps of the board card management method may be:
[0078] 1. EEPROM partition storage data
[0079] The EEPROM is divided into a first partition and a second partition, wherein the capacity of the first partition is 1KB, the address range is [0, 1023], and the second partition occupies the remaining capacity. A binary file of the backplane identification information is generated according to the field replaceable unit information format of the intelligent platform management interface protocol, and written into the first partition, and the hardware configuration information is written into the second partition according to the preset format description. The board and the motherboard management controller can be connected through the integrated circuit bus hardware interface.
[0080] 2. The motherboard management controller identifies the board
[0081] Traverse the EEPROM device addresses (in the range of [0x50, 0x57]) on all IC bus device nodes, read the first partition data, and parse it according to the field replaceable unit information storage format. If the parsing is successful, it means that this address is a legal field replaceable unit device, and the board type, manufacturer, serial number, generation time and other information can be accurately identified, and the field replaceable unit information message bus system (AMessage Bus System, DBUS) object is created and published to the DBUS bus; if the parsing fails, it is discarded and the next EEPROM device address is continued. When the EEPROM device address on an IC bus device is cyclically read, the next IC bus device is switched until all IC bus devices are completed.
[0082] 3. Read the board configuration information
[0083] After successfully identifying the board identification information, read the second partition data, parse the board configuration information according to the custom format, and publish it to the DBUS bus in a predetermined format.
[0084] 4. Monitor and manage board configuration information
[0085] The motherboard management controller divides the management process according to the functional objects (such as temperature, voltage, power consumption, heat dissipation, fault detection, etc.). Each management process implements the monitoring function of the hardware it manages, and monitors the changes of the board configuration information on the DBUS bus in real time to realize dynamic loading of hardware configuration. When the board configuration information changes, a broadcast signal message is triggered to notify all monitoring processes. The monitoring process starts to read the relevant information of the change and create a new board function object for real-time monitoring, thereby realizing new board management functions.
[0086] This embodiment creates a message bus object according to the board configuration information when the parsing is successful, and publishes the message bus object to the message bus; when the parsing fails, the non-volatile storage device address is discarded, and the next non-volatile storage device address is read. After parsing the backplane identification information corresponding to all non-volatile storage device addresses, the board is managed based on the preset board function object and the message bus, thereby improving the board recognition efficiency and ensuring the accuracy of the information.
[0087] It should be noted that the above examples are only used to understand the present application and do not constitute a limitation on the board management method of the present application.
