Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a configuration method, and in particular to a configuration method for a BMC login IP, a user name and a password based on an operating system. Background Art

[0002] BMC can remotely manage, monitor, install, and restart the server, and its role is particularly important. Currently, BMC login information can only be configured on the BIOS information page and BMC Web terminal. However, when the system business operation cannot be restarted to enter the BIOS information page or the original BMC is abnormal or lacks the login username and password, the user cannot monitor the operation status of the machine.

[0003] The Chinese invention patent "A BIOS-based BMC configuration method and device" (application number CN202111681688.0) discloses a BIOS-based BMC configuration device and method, which can solve the problem that users cannot log in to the BMC WEB in time to perform BMC user configuration. On the BIOS side, when the BMC Web login terminal fails to log in, restart the server, enter the BMC configuration interface of the BIOS login interface to enter the BMC configuration parameters; it solves the problem that when the network fails or the original BMC is abnormal, the user cannot log in to the BMC WEB in time to perform user configuration, but it does not take into account the situation where the business system cannot be restarted.

[0004] The Chinese invention patent "A BMC IP setting method, device, electronic device and system" (application number CN202010126451.5) provides a BMC IP setting method to solve the problem that hundreds of machines leaving the factory need to be refreshed with IP addresses according to customer-specified requirements, wasting manpower and time, and having low efficiency. However, it does not take into account the situation where the BMC WEB page cannot be accessed due to the lack of BMC login username and password.

[0005] Therefore, a configuration method is needed, in which the user can monitor the server operation status by configuring BMC user information when an abnormal situation occurs. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that the domestic server operating system business cannot be interrupted and the system cannot be restarted, the BMC is abnormal, the login name and password are missing, and the BMC WEB page cannot be accessed to monitor the server operation status.

[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a configuration method of BMC login IP, user name and password based on the operating system, which is convenient for users to solve the problem that the BMC WEB page cannot be logged in, ensures continuous and stable operation of business interruptions, and improves efficiency.

[0008] The present invention is based on the configuration method of BMC login IP, user name and password of the operating system, comprising the following steps: Step S1: Query the available channels of BMC; Step S2: Select a BMC available channel as the BMC channel; Step S3: Set the BMC channel to use a static IP; Step S4: Set the IP information of the BMC channel; Step S5: query available user IDs and select a user ID from them; Step S6: configuring the user information of the BMC based on the user ID; Step S7: Based on the set BMC channel and user information, log in to the management interface of the server through a browser to manage the device.

[0009] Furthermore, the step S4 includes the following steps: Step S41: Setting the IP address of the BMC channel; Step S42: Setting the subnet mask of the BMC channel; Step S43: Setting the gateway information of the BMC channel.

[0010] Further, step S6 includes the following steps: Step S61: Create a new user based on the selected user ID; Step S62: Set the password of the new user; Step S63: granting rights to new users; Step S64: Check and confirm the user information of the new user.

[0011] Further, step S6 includes the following steps: Step S61: based on the selected user ID, confirm that the management user needs to be modified; Step S62: Reset the password of the management user to be modified; Step S63: Check and confirm that the user information of the management user needs to be modified.

[0012] Beneficial effects of the present invention: The present invention is based on the configuration method of the BMC login IP, user name and password of the operating system. Only a small amount of information needs to be configured to realize the server BMC management interface login, which brings great convenience to the test and saves time, learning and other costs.

[0021] Definitions of Abbreviations and Key Terms: BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) is a control unit deployed on the server with independent power supply and independent I / O interface, which can control the server's sensors, hard disk, network, graphics card and other peripherals. Regardless of whether the server has an operating system installed or is turned on, as long as the baseboard management controller is powered on, the BMC can monitor the server's operating status.

[0022] IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) is a set of interactive standard management specifications for server system cluster autonomy and monitoring of physical health characteristics of servers, such as temperature, voltage, fan working status, power supply status, etc. At the same time, IPMI is also responsible for recording various hardware information and log records to prompt users and locate subsequent problems.
