Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of asset management, and particularly to an asset management method, apparatus, computer device, and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In modern data centers or server rooms, cabinet asset management is a crucial link. Various devices in the cabinet (such as servers, storage devices, network devices, etc.) are usually installed and configured according to a certain layout method. The "U-bit", as a standardized unit in the cabinet device layout, is usually used to represent the vertical position of the device in the cabinet. Among them, the U-bit refers to the height standard of the device in the cabinet, and usually the height of each U-bit is 1.75 inches. In asset management, by accurately identifying and tracking the U-bit position of each device, the management efficiency of assets can be significantly improved.

[0003] The prior art uses Internet of Things technology for U-bit positioning to assist asset management. However, this technology has many defects: First, it is usually necessary to install additional Internet of Things devices on the cabinet, which is difficult to achieve when the installation space is insufficient; Second, by using the near-field communication protocol for signal transmission, it is easily interfered or crosstalked, resulting in unreliable communication and affecting the stability and reliability of the system; Finally, it cannot automatically identify the configuration and status information of the server, nor can it directly obtain the IP address of the server, and it needs to cooperate with manual operations and computer room management software, increasing the complexity and inconvenience of management.

Detailed implementation manners

[0070] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer and more understandable, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0071] An asset management method provided by the present application can be applied to an application environment as Figure 1 shown. Among them, there is a wired connection or a network connection between the sub-server cluster 101 and the total console 102. Among them, a signal transmission component, a first management controller and a plurality of server nodes are provided in the sub-server cluster 101, and the first management controller is connected to the plurality of server nodes through the signal transmission component. Based on the asset management method of the present application, node information is obtained and sent to the total console 102 for summary. Among them, the sub-server cluster 101 can be a cluster composed of multiple computing servers, storage servers, virtualization servers, network switches, etc., responsible for processing specific computing, storage, network tasks, or a group of distributed computing tasks; the total console 102 can be a centralized management device or an integrated management platform, including a management server, a monitoring system, management software, etc., responsible for uniformly monitoring, configuring and managing the devices in the entire computer room or data center. It can be composed of hardware devices (such as high-performance workstations or servers) and dedicated asset management software.

[0072] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, an asset management method is provided, taking the sub-server cluster 101 in the application environment shown in Figure 1 as an example, including the following steps:

[0073] Step 201, obtain the position information of the signal transmission component, detect and obtain the serial number of the node connection end of the signal transmission component, and store the position information and the serial number of the node connection end in an associated manner.

[0074] Among them, the installation position is preferably a U position;

[0075] Specifically, analyze the cabinet space data of the current cabinet to obtain the cabinet height, divide the space of the current cabinet at a preset distance according to the cabinet height to obtain several cabinet installation positions, and assign installation position identifiers to at least one cabinet installation position; obtain the installation records of the signal transmission components to obtain the physical installation positions of the signal transmission components; according to the physical installation positions of the signal transmission components, combined with the cabinet installation positions, determine the installation positions where at least one node connection end is located.

[0076] Step 202: Send an installation position identification signal to at least one node connection end, and detect whether at least one node connection end receives node information.

[0077] Specifically, set the installation position identification signal to include a low-level signal and a high-level signal; obtain the number of server connection units in the signal transmission component, and set the number of bits of the low-level signal based on the number of server connection units; obtain the number of signal transmission components, and set the number of bits of the high-level signal based on the number of signal transmission components.

[0078] Step 203: In response to the node connection end receiving node information, determine that the node connection end is connected to a server node, set an occupancy identifier for the serial number of the node connection end, and associate and store the node information with the serial number of the node connection end.

[0079] Specifically, create a cabinet asset record table in the storage database; in the cabinet asset record table, use the serial number of the node connection end as the attribute of the first column and mark it as the primary key; continuously obtain node information, and arrange the attributes corresponding to the node information according to the importance degree, and sequentially store the attributes corresponding to the node information in the row where the serial number of the node connection end is located.

[0080] Step 204: In response to the node connection end not receiving node information, set an idle identifier for the serial number of the node connection end.

[0081] The above asset management method marks the node connection end by the first management controller according to the position of the signal transmission component, then sends the installation position identification signal, and sends it to the server node through the signal transmission component, so that the server node can determine its own installation position according to the signal and feedback the node information, establishing an automated identification and feedback mechanism, simplifying the cumbersome manual scanning and manual binding steps in traditional asset management, and achieving fast and accurate identification of each server node and its position; at the same time, through this process, the installation position and its related information of the server can be automatically obtained and confirmed, eliminating the possibility of human errors, and improving the automation degree and accuracy of asset management; furthermore, the wired signal transmission component realizes fast and stable connection, avoiding the interference problem of traditional near-field communication protocols, and improving the anti-interference ability and communication stability of the system; in addition, by performing associated storage and adopting corresponding storage methods according to whether the node signal is received, not only can the configuration and status information of the server be automatically identified, but also the server node information can be summarized to obtain the complete information of the cabinet assets efficiently and accurately, which is beneficial to subsequent fast positioning and resource allocation optimization, and realizes efficient asset management.

[0082] In one embodiment, the first management controller obtains the position information of the signal transmission component, including:

[0083] Obtain the cabinet space data of the cabinet where the signal transmission component is currently located, where the cabinet space data at least includes: cabinet height;

[0084] Analyze the cabinet space data of the current cabinet to obtain the cabinet height, divide the space of the current cabinet at a preset distance according to the cabinet height to obtain a number of cabinet installation positions, and assign installation position identifiers to at least one cabinet installation position, where the preset distance is preferably U;

[0085] Obtain the installation record of the signal transmission component to obtain the physical installation position of the signal transmission component;

[0086] According to the physical installation position of the signal transmission component, combined with the cabinet installation position, determine the installation position where at least one node connection end is located;

[0087] According to the installation position where the node connection end is located, determine the corresponding installation position identifier;

[0088] Create a serial number for the node connection end and associate it with the installation position identifier.

[0089] Specifically, in this embodiment, by dividing the cabinet space into installation positions and assigning identifiers to each installation position, the positions of each signal transmission component and node connection end can be accurately located, enabling the manager to intuitively understand the space layout of the cabinet and the positions of each device, achieving precise positioning and visual management; by precisely dividing the installation position space, the use of the cabinet space is optimized, and the resource utilization rate is improved; clearly identifying the installation position identifiers of each node connection end can reduce errors during device installation, ensure the accurate installation position of the device, and thus reduce the management difficulty caused by incorrect installation.

[0090] In one embodiment, the first management controller sends an installation position identification signal to at least one node connection end, including:

[0091] Setting the installation position identification signal to include a low-order signal and a high-order signal;

[0092] Obtaining the number of server connection units in the signal transmission component, setting the number of bits of the low-order signal based on the number of server connection units, and the number of bits of the low-order signal satisfies a 2 ≥N, where a represents the number of bits of the low-order signal and N represents the number of server connection units;

[0093] Obtaining the number of signal transmission components, setting the number of bits of the high-order signal based on the number of signal transmission components, and the number of bits of the high-order signal satisfies b 2 ≥M, where b represents the number of bits of the high-order signal and M represents the number of signal transmission components.

[0094] Specifically, in this embodiment, by precisely calculating the number of bits of the low-order and high-order signals, it is ensured that the position information of each node connection end can be accurately transmitted during the signal transmission process, which helps to avoid information loss or errors caused by improper bit setting and improves the signal transmission accuracy: at the same time, dynamically adjusting the number of bits of the low-order and high-order signals according to the number of server connection units and signal transmission components enables the system to have good scalability and be able to adapt to different scales of cabinet and device environments; in addition, using the low-order and high-order signals to effectively identify the nodes realizes automatic and precise device identification, improving the efficiency and accuracy of management.

[0095] In one embodiment, associating and storing the node information with the serial number of the node connection end includes:

[0096] Creating a cabinet asset record table in the storage database;

[0097] In the cabinet asset record table, taking the serial number of the node connection end as an attribute of the first column and marking it as the primary key;

[0098] Continuously obtain node information, arrange the attributes corresponding to the node information according to importance, and sequentially store the node information corresponding to the serial number of the node connection end in the corresponding row;

[0099] In response to the situation that the corresponding rows of the serial numbers of multiple node connection ends have all stored available records, the cabinet asset record form is generated. Among them, the available records at least include one of the following: node information, idle flag;

[0100] In response to the situation that there is a missing available record in the row corresponding to the serial number of any node connection end, re-detect the node connection end, and judge whether there is a fault in the node connection end according to the result of the re-detection.

[0101] Specifically, in this embodiment, by using the serial number of the node connection end as the primary key, it is ensured that the records of each node can be uniquely identified and there will be no duplication or error, thereby improving the accuracy of the data; at the same time, by storing the node information according to the importance of the attributes, it can be quickly queried as needed, optimizing the storage structure of the database and facilitating subsequent management and query operations; and when there is a missing or abnormal node information, the system will automatically trigger the re-detection mechanism and judge whether there is a fault according to the detection result, realizing automatic fault detection, reducing the complexity of manual operations, and improving the efficiency and accuracy of fault detection; furthermore, by continuously obtaining and storing and updating the node information, it is ensured that the information in the database is always the latest, can timely reflect the dynamic state of the assets, and provide real-time support for subsequent management, maintenance and decision-making; in addition, through comprehensive and real-time node information storage and fault detection, the resource status of the cabinet can be quickly understood, and more scientific resource allocation and optimization decisions can be made.

[0102] In one embodiment, re-detect the node connection end, and judge whether there is a fault in the node connection end according to the result of the re-detection, including:

[0103] Re-detect the node connection end and obtain the latest node information;

[0104] In response to the failure to obtain the latest node information, that is, the latest node information is all null values, it is determined that the node connection end is disconnected;

[0105] In response to the situation that in the historical storage records of the cabinet asset record form, the serial number of the node connection end corresponds to the storage of complete node information, the complete node information that is closest to the current time is recorded as the reference node information, and an observation window is set to perform fault detection on the disconnected node connection end;

[0106] In response to the successful acquisition of the latest node information through the disconnected node connection end within the observation window, but there is missing information in the latest node information compared with the reference node information, it is judged that the node connection end is damaged;

[0107] In response to the failure to obtain the latest node information through the disconnected node connection end within the observation window, it is determined that the node connection end fails;

[0108] In response to successfully obtaining the latest node information through the disconnected node connection end within the observation window, and all the time-independent information in the latest node information being consistent with the reference node information, a secondary observation window is set, and a poor contact detection is performed on the node connection end;

[0109] In response to the node connection end being disconnected within the secondary observation window, it is determined that the node connection end has poor contact, otherwise, it is determined that the node connection end is healthy;

[0110] In response to the node connection end being healthy, the cabinet asset record form is completed according to the latest node information received by the node connection end;

[0111] Repeat the above steps until the cabinet asset record form is generated;

[0112] Regularly check the generated cabinet asset record form, obtain the change records in the cabinet asset record form in real time, and determine whether there is a server node failure according to the change records.

[0113] Specifically, in this embodiment, through multiple rounds of automatic detection and verification, such as the observation window and the secondary observation window, the system can intelligently identify and accurately judge fault types such as disconnection, damage, and poor contact, thereby reducing human error and improving the accuracy of fault diagnosis; at the same time, the cabinet asset record form is automatically updated and completed according to the latest information of the node connection end, ensuring the real-time and integrity of the asset data, reducing manual intervention, and improving the data management efficiency; through the dynamic fault detection mechanism, the disconnection or fault of the node connection end is timely responded to, enhancing the system's fault warning and repair capabilities, ensuring that the equipment is always in a healthy state; in addition, the use of cabinet resources is optimized, and problems can be quickly located through real-time monitoring and data analysis, improving the overall asset management efficiency and decision-making quality.

[0114] In one embodiment, after the cabinet asset record form is generated, it further includes:

[0115] Obtain the cabinet asset record form;

[0116] Obtain the power consumption monitoring record of the computer room to obtain the power consumption data of the server node;

[0117] According to the power consumption data of the server node and combined with the node information, set the power distribution strategy for the server node;

[0118] According to the installation position where the server node is located, control the power management module of the corresponding cabinet to execute the power distribution strategy of the server node.

[0119] In one embodiment, based on the power consumption data of server nodes and combined with node information, a power distribution policy for server nodes is set, including:

[0120] Obtain node information, where the node information at least includes: CPU load, memory usage, disk I / O frequency, network bandwidth usage, network configuration address, and node load tasks;

[0121] Based on the CPU load, memory usage, disk I / O frequency, and network bandwidth usage, obtain the resource load score of the corresponding server node;

[0122] Based on the resource load score and combined with the power consumption data of the server node, obtain the first allocated power of the corresponding server node;

[0123] Based on the node load tasks, obtain task priority information and get the task priority score of the corresponding server node;

[0124] Based on the task priority score, obtain the power distribution correction factor of the corresponding server node;

[0125] Based on the network configuration address, if the network configuration address of the corresponding server node is in the preset network key service address record table, it is marked as an important node; otherwise, it is a non-important node. When the corresponding server node is an important node, the allocated power of the server node is not allowed to be reduced;

[0126] Based on the first allocated power, combined with the power distribution correction factor and whether the server node is an important node, obtain the second allocated power of the corresponding server node;

[0127] Query the installation location of the server node, determine its corresponding cabinet, and control the power management module of the cabinet to supply power to the server node, and the power supply amount is the second allocated power.

[0128] Specifically, in this embodiment, through a hierarchical control architecture and an automated power distribution policy, efficient power management is achieved. The second management controller generates a power distribution policy and transmits it to the first management controller through a signal, and the latter then sends a power supply signal to the power management controller to ensure accurate power distribution. This not only reduces manual intervention, improves the accuracy and reliability of power distribution, but also can dynamically adjust the power configuration according to changes in device load, optimize energy use, and reduce costs. In addition, the power allocated to the server node is corrected according to the power distribution correction factor. While improving the power management efficiency of the system, it can flexibly adjust the power configuration according to the needs of different server nodes, dynamically achieve power distribution, and improve the stability of device operation.

[0129] It should be understood that although the steps in the flowchart of 2 are shown in sequence according to the indication of the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless there is a clear description in this article, there is no strict order limit for the execution of these steps, and these steps can be executed in other orders. Moreover, Figure 2 at least a part of the steps in Figure 2 may include multiple sub-steps or multiple stages. These sub-steps or stages are not necessarily executed at the same moment, but can be executed at different moments. The execution order of these sub-steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be executed alternately or in turn with at least a part of other steps or sub-steps or stages of other steps.

[0130] In one embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, an asset management device is provided. The asset management device includes a first management controller, a server node, and a signal transmission component;

[0131] Among them, the signal transmission component includes:
