Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of network device resource management, and particularly to a full life cycle management method, device, equipment and storage medium for IDC network devices. Background Art

[0002] In this era of rapidly changing information technology, the IDC center, as the core infrastructure for data storage, processing and transmission, is of great importance. With the wide application of new generation information technologies such as cloud computing, big data, and the Internet of Things, the scale of IDCs is constantly expanding, and the types and quantities of network devices are increasing sharply, which poses unprecedented challenges to the management of IDC network devices. Traditional management methods often focus on the management of a single link of the device, lacking a global perspective and dynamic adjustment capabilities, and it is difficult to meet the efficient, secure and flexible operation requirements of modern IDCs.

[0003] In the operation practice of the port rental business, this fragmentation in the process not only weakens the coherence and efficiency of the overall business operation, but also hides business risks and management loopholes that cannot be ignored. Specifically, the lack of tight connection between processes may lead to frequent mistakes in the resource allocation process, such as resource misallocation, duplicate allocation or idle waste, directly affecting the business response speed and service quality. At the same time, the inconsistency of device status information between different systems makes it difficult for the operation and maintenance team to quickly and accurately master the device health status and performance, and may delay the troubleshooting and repair time.

[0004] What is particularly serious is that process separation may also lead to the key problem of traffic missing collection. In the port rental business, accurate flow metering is a key link to ensure the interests of customers and the income of operators. However, if the relevant network devices are not timely and accurately incorporated into the network management system for traffic monitoring and collection after the business is opened, there will be a lack of billing basis, which not only damages the customers' trust in the billing transparency, but may also lead to the loss of operators' income and even legal disputes.

[0005] To solve the above problems, it is particularly urgent and important to introduce a full life cycle management solution for IDC network devices. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Object of the Invention: To propose a full life cycle management method for IDC network devices, and further propose a device for implementing the management method, equipment and storage medium equipped with the management method, aiming to comprehensively improve the management efficiency and accuracy of network devices through integrated and intelligent management means, and ensure that every link from device procurement, deployment to network withdrawal can be monitored and tracked in real time and effectively.

[0007] In the first aspect of the present invention, a method for the full life cycle management of IDC network devices is proposed, and the steps are as follows: S1. The user initiates a network device access / withdrawal work order according to actual needs; S2. Select or add network devices to be accessed or withdrawn on the redirected page; S3. Verify the integrity and standardization of the access / withdrawal information of the network device; S4. After the verification is passed, create the current access / withdrawal device work order; at this time, the device life cycle status of the device initiating the access operation is put into use, and the device life cycle of the device initiating the withdrawal operation is off the network; S5. After the access / withdrawal device work order is created, the work order is reviewed and transferred according to the customized IDC network device process. If the review is passed, proceed to the next step; otherwise, initiate the network device access / withdrawal work order again; S6. Analyze the work order passed in the review. If it is a withdrawal notice, the order is closed after the device completes the withdrawal operation; if it is an access notice, it is stored in the database according to the device access information, and the order is closed after the storage is completed; S7. After the order is closed, for the accessed device, initiate a network connectivity test for the device management IP; S8. After the network connectivity test is passed, collect and manage the accessed device.

[0008] In a further embodiment of the first aspect, the process of initiating a network connectivity test for the device management IP specifically includes: Check whether the network of the target IP address is reachable through the ping and traceroute commands. If the network is not accessible, initiate an automated network policy release order in the comprehensive debugging; For the target IP that is not in the whitelist address segment, the network operation and maintenance personnel configure the network policy according to the network policy release order, and then perform the network connectivity test again.

[0009] In a further embodiment of the first aspect, the process of collecting and managing the accessed device specifically includes: For the resource data, store it in the twin library, and send a data management completion notice to the resource system. The resource system synchronizes the data from the twin library to the resource system according to the service primary key in the message.

[0010] In a further embodiment of the first aspect, the process of collecting and managing the accessed device specifically includes: For the performance data, store it in the form of a file based on the ceph distributed file system. After the performance file is written, send a file write completion message to the corresponding kafka message queue. The resource system synchronizes the performance file to the resource system by consuming the messages in kafka.

[0011] In a further embodiment of the first aspect, the process of collecting and managing network devices specifically includes: For alarm data, it is directly sent to the corresponding Kafka topic in the form of a message, and the resource system realizes the use of alarm data by consuming the messages of the corresponding topic.

[0012] In a further embodiment of the first aspect, after the resource data, performance data, and alarm data are sent to the resource system, a completeness check is performed on the devices for which management has been completed, including checking whether the device collection information is synchronized to the resource system and verifying whether the collection ports of the devices are synchronized to the resource system. After passing the verification, the next step is entered; otherwise, it enters the manual confirmation link. After manual confirmation is correct, the management completeness check is initiated again.

[0013] In a further embodiment of the first aspect, after the device management completeness check is completed, the life cycle of the network device is reversed to being put into use, and the integrated dispatching system is notified to close the order. If the completeness check fails, it is transferred to manual verification and processing, and after processing, the order is closed in the integrated dispatching system.

[0014] In the second aspect of the present invention, a device for managing the entire life cycle of IDC network devices is proposed. The device includes three parts: an integrated dispatching system, a resource management system, and a collection and control system.

[0015] The user initiates a network device access / withdrawal device work order in the integrated dispatching system according to actual needs; The user selects or adds network devices to be accessed or withdrawn in the resource management system; The collection and control system verifies the integrity and standardization of the access / withdrawal information of the network device; The qualified device information is synchronized to the integrated dispatching system to complete the creation of the current access / withdrawal device work order; at this time, the life cycle status of the device initiating the access operation is put into use, and the life cycle of the device initiating the withdrawal operation is off the network; the integrated dispatching system performs the review and transfer of the work order according to the customized IDC network device process; After the work order is approved, the device access / withdrawal information is synchronized to the collection and control system; if it is a withdrawal notice, the collection and control system is notified to perform the device withdrawal operation; if it is an access notice, the collection and control system is notified to store the device access information in the database, and the order is closed after the storage is completed; After the order is closed, for the accessed devices, the integrated dispatching system initiates a network connectivity test for the device management IP; After the network connectivity test passes, the collection and control system performs collection and management on the accessed devices.

[0016] In a third aspect of the present invention, an electronic device is provided, which includes: a processor and a memory storing computer program instructions; when the processor executes the computer program instructions, the full life cycle management method of the IDC network device disclosed in the first aspect is implemented.

[0017] In a fourth aspect of the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, in which at least one executable instruction is stored.

[0021] Figure 2 It is the flow chart of the full life cycle management of the IDC network device in the embodiment of the present invention. Detailed implementation manners

[0022] In the following description, a large number of specific details are given to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be implemented without one or more of these details. In other examples, in order to avoid confusion with the present invention, some well-known technical features in the art are not described.

[0023] This embodiment discloses a full life cycle management method and device for IDC network devices. The architecture diagram is shown in Figure 1 as shown, and the specific flow chart is shown in Figure 2 as shown. Before elaborating on the embodiments of the present invention in detail, some proprietary terms that will appear later are first explained.

[0024] IDC Center: Internet Data Center, which refers to a platform with complete facilities (including high-speed Internet access bandwidth, high-performance local area network, secure computer room environment, etc.), professional management, and a complete application service platform. Based on this platform, IDC service providers offer Internet basic platform services (such as server hosting, virtual hosting, email services, etc.) and various value-added services (such as site rental, domain name system services, load balancing systems, database systems, data backup services, etc.); Network Equipment: Network equipment refers to the dedicated hardware devices used to connect various nodes such as servers, PCs, and application terminals to form an information communication network. These devices include information network equipment, communication network equipment, network security equipment, etc. Common types include switches, routers, firewalls, protocol converters, etc.; Full Lifecycle of Network Equipment: The definition of the full lifecycle in the process of network equipment management refers to the entire management process from the planning, procurement, deployment, use, maintenance of network equipment until its final scrapping or replacement.

[0025] The IDC network equipment full lifecycle management method disclosed in this embodiment mainly includes the following steps: The first step: The user initiates a network equipment network access / equipment withdrawal work order in the comprehensive dispatching system according to actual needs; The second step: The page jumps to the resource management system for network equipment selection or addition; The third step: The newly added equipment network access information completes the integrity and standardization verification of the equipment network access information by calling the network access information verification interface on the acquisition and control system side; The fourth step: Synchronize the equipment information of the equipment in / out network information to the comprehensive dispatching system, and at this point, the work order is completed. At this time, the lifecycle status of the equipment initiating the network access operation is in use, and the lifecycle of the equipment initiating the equipment withdrawal operation is off the network; The fifth step: The comprehensive dispatching system conducts the review and transfer of the work order according to the customized IDC network equipment process. If the review fails, it returns to the first step; The sixth step: After the work order is approved, the equipment in / out network information is synchronized to the acquisition and control system. If it is an equipment withdrawal, notify the acquisition and control system to perform the equipment withdrawal operation and then notify the comprehensive dispatching system to close the order. If it is an equipment network access notification, the acquisition and control system stores the equipment network access information in the database, and after the storage is completed, notify the comprehensive dispatching system; Step 7: After receiving the notification, the integrated dispatching system initiates a network connectivity test for the device management IP, that is, checks whether the network of the target IP address is reachable through the ping and traceroute commands. If the network is not reachable, the integrated dispatching system initiates an automated network policy release form. For IP addresses in non-whitelisted address segments, network operation and maintenance personnel need to configure network policies according to the network policy release form. After configuration, the network connectivity test is carried out again. The device can be managed only after the network connectivity test passes; otherwise, wait until the network connectivity test passes. Step 8: The acquisition and control system collects and manages the network devices in the work order. For resource data, data synchronization between the resource and the acquisition and control system is achieved through the data management method of the twin library, that is, the acquisition and control system stores the collected data in the twin library and sends a data management completion notification to the resource management system. The resource management system synchronizes the data from the twin library to the resource management system according to the business primary key in the message, completing the synchronization of resource data from the acquisition and control system to the resource. Performance data (note: including traffic) is stored in the form of files based on the Ceph distributed file system. After the acquisition and control system finishes writing the performance file, it sends a file write completion message to the corresponding Kafka message queue. The resource management system synchronizes the performance file from the acquisition and control system to the resource management system by consuming the messages in Kafka, completing the synchronization of performance data from the acquisition and control system to the resource. Alarm data is directly sent to the corresponding Kafka topic in the form of messages, and the resource management system uses the alarm data by consuming the messages of the corresponding topic. Step 9: After the acquisition and control system starts to send the resource, performance, and alarm data of the network devices in the work order to the resource management system, it sends a management completion message to the integrated dispatching system through the management completion notification interface. The integrated dispatching system notifies the resource management system to perform a completion verification on the managed devices, including verifying whether the device collection information is synchronized to the resource management system and verifying whether the collection ports of the devices are synchronized to the resource management system. After passing the verification, proceed to the next step; otherwise, the work order is transferred to the acquisition and control system station for manual confirmation. After manual confirmation is correct, the management completion verification is initiated again. Step 10: After the resource management system completes the management completion verification of the device, the life cycle of the network device is reversed to being in use, and the integrated dispatching system is notified to close the order. If the completion verification fails, it is transferred to manual verification and processing, and after processing, the order is closed in the integrated dispatching system.
