[0028] The following description of exemplary embodiments of the present invention is made in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which various details of the embodiments of the present invention are included to facilitate understanding. These details should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. Similarly, for the sake of clarity and conciseness, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0029] It should be noted that the collection, collection, updating, analysis, processing, use, transmission, and storage of user personal information involved in the technical solutions disclosed herein all comply with relevant laws and regulations, are used for legitimate purposes, and do not violate public order and good morals. Necessary measures are taken with respect to user personal information to prevent unauthorized access to user personal information data and to safeguard the security of user personal information, network security, and national security.

[0030] A server BMC is an independent management processor integrated into the server motherboard. It monitors server hardware status, performs out-of-band management tasks, and provides remote management capabilities. It allows administrators to remotely access servers over the network, enabling effective management and maintenance even when the server is powered off or unable to start. However, when it comes to managing and maintaining tens of thousands of servers in a data center, traditional BMC management and remote console operations often lead to inefficiencies. The main problems with current methods are:

[0031] 1. Lack of standardized one-click management capabilities: Different server vendors offer different methods for BMC access and remote console launch, leading to complexity and inconvenience in operations and maintenance. Currently, there is no unified, standardized process for one-click BMC access or remote console launch, increasing the workload for operations and maintenance personnel.

[0032] 2. Security and management difficulties: During the operation and maintenance process, operation and maintenance personnel need to manually enter their account and password when logging into the BMC out-of-band management interface or starting the remote console. This method not only makes it difficult to achieve centralized credential management, but also may pose serious security risks due to password leakage.

[0033] Because passwords cannot be stored in plain text, managing passwords for a large number of servers presents challenges. A common approach is to use a unified account and password for all servers, but this introduces global risks. Another approach is to establish a mapping between server SNs (serial numbers), accounts, and passwords in a database. However, this approach requires that information like SNs remain stable, otherwise login failures may occur. Furthermore, how to encrypt and store passwords for a large number of servers and quickly retrieve the passwords for the corresponding servers remains a pressing issue.

[0034] 3. Inefficient multi-server operation and maintenance: When operating multiple servers simultaneously, operators must log in and authenticate each server individually to view BMC information or launch the remote console. When the management scale expands to thousands or even tens of thousands of servers, this one-by-one login method is not only time-consuming but also significantly reduces overall operation and maintenance efficiency.

[0035] In summary, traditional BMC management methods have obvious deficiencies in standardization, security, and efficiency, and more efficient solutions are urgently needed to meet the operation and maintenance needs of large-scale data centers.

[0036] See also Figure 1 , which shows a main flow chart of a method for operation and maintenance of a server provided by an embodiment of the present invention, including the following steps:

[0037] S101: The target proxy server receives an access page request and obtains relevant information of the target server and an operation and maintenance option selected by the user from the access page request;

[0038] S102: establishing an out-of-band connection with the target server according to the relevant information of the target server, and initializing a virtual screen in response to successful establishment of the out-of-band connection;

[0039] S103: Log in to the BMC system of the target server through a login script preset for the operation and maintenance option to display a target interface corresponding to the operation and maintenance option;

[0040] S104: Bind the virtual screen and the target interface, generate an accessible link based on the binding result and return it, so that the user can access the target interface by clicking the accessible link to perform operation and maintenance operations on the target server.

[0041] In the above implementation, the CMDB (Configuration Management Database) is a key component of IT Service Management (ITSM), particularly within the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) framework. The CMDB stores detailed information about all configuration items (CI) in the IT environment, which are the physical and logical components that make up IT services. This means the CMDB records information about each server, such as the server's brand, out-of-band IP (Internet Protocol) address, and cabinet tags.

[0042] When a user needs to access or maintain a server, they must first manually enter their account and password through the CMDB login interface to complete authentication. The CMDB then calls the unified authentication platform to complete the authentication process. After successful authentication, the user can log in and view a list of all servers registered in the CMDB. The user can select one or more servers as needed, but preferably only one, such as selecting Server X by ticking the box. In response to the user's selection of Server X, the CMDB automatically retrieves relevant information about Server X and displays this information during operation.

[0043] As shown in Figure 2(a), the CMDB provides convenient O&M options such as "One-click BMC" and "One-click KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse)." Clicking the "One-click BMC" button allows users to access the out-of-band management interface of Server X. Out-of-band management refers to the management and monitoring of devices through a dedicated channel independent of the main system of the managed device. Specifically, it does not rely on the device's operating system or network configuration. Even if the device fails or the operating system is not working properly, administrators can still access and control the device through out-of-band management functions. Specific hardware support, such as BMC, is usually required to implement remote management functions. The "One-click KVM" function allows users to launch a remote console and directly control the keyboard, video, and mouse of Server X.

[0044] It's important to note that "One-Click KVM" is actually part of the BMC functionality. For example, it first displays the out-of-band management interface, then switches from that interface to the keyboard, video, and mouse interface. Therefore, this access request is essentially a call to the out-of-band management page for Server X. When a user triggers this O&M option, the CMDB generates a corresponding access page request based on the O&M option and the relevant information about Server X. This request is actually a request to access the out-of-band management page for Server X and sends it to the interface control layer.

[0045] As shown in Figure 2(b), the proxy server gateway in the interface control layer determines the region to which server X belongs based on its cabinet label and out-of-band IP address. For example, given cabinet label A-01-05 and out-of-band IP address 192.168.1.10, the proxy server gateway determines based on the cabinet label that server X is located in the 5th position of cabinet 01 in data center A. Further analysis of the out-of-band IP address confirms that it falls within the IP address range of data center A, thus confirming that server X belongs to the region of data center A. This allows the proxy server gateway to accurately assign server X to the correct region based on the cabinet label and out-of-band IP address, and further determine the corresponding target proxy server cluster.

[0046] The target proxy server cluster monitors the resource usage of each proxy server in the cluster in real time to determine which proxy server to use to service user requests. For example, it can identify target proxy server Y with the lowest resource usage and forward requests for accessing the out-of-band management page of server X to it. The proxy server gateway also supports other decision-making methods, such as load balancing, to ensure efficient distribution of access tasks while avoiding performance bottlenecks, thereby improving overall system performance and reliability.

[0047] In step S101, after determining the target proxy server Y, the target proxy server Y begins processing the access page request, i.e., the request to access the out-of-band management page of server X. Relevant information about server X and the user-selected operation and maintenance option are obtained from the access page request. The operation and maintenance option is either "one-click BMC" or "one-click KVM." Alternatively, "access" can be used to represent "one-click BMC," while "remote control" can be used to represent "one-click KVM."

[0048] In steps S102-S104, target proxy server Y first checks whether an out-of-band connection can be established with server X based on its out-of-band IP address, similar to determining whether a user can be contacted using their contact information. Assuming the determined region is A, the operation is similar to target proxy server Y determining whether server X is located in region A based on its out-of-band IP address. If so, an out-of-band connection can be established with server X.

[0049] The proxy server requires the following environment: a browser, VNC (Virtual Network Console), and the noVNC service. Web pages are opened in a browser, so the browser environment must be configured. VNC is a remote control tool that allows users to connect to the desktop environment of another computer or server over a network. noVNC is a VNC client built on HTML5 technology. Leveraging HTML5 features such as WebSockets, Canvas, and JavaScript, it provides direct browser access to remote desktops without installing additional plug-ins. Due to its lightweight nature and ease of integration, it is widely used in cloud computing platforms and virtual machine management interfaces.

[0050] The proxy server can be a Linux server or other proxy server. This solution prefers a Linux server. After establishing an out-of-band connection with server X, the target proxy server Y initializes a virtual screen on the current Linux server and starts the VNC and noVNC services for user access. The Linux display mode is usually a black window that cannot display a visual interface. The VNC technology can virtualize a screen, so the essence here is to initialize a virtual screen on the target proxy server Y through the VNC technology. It should be noted that although the noVNC service is not used directly here, the noVNC service needs to be started at this stage so that an access link can be generated through the noVNC technology later, allowing users to access the screen directly through the web page.

[0051] The Linux interface typically displays only text, but users need to manipulate the specific interface of Server X. This requires identifying the user's intent based on the selected O&M options (e.g., one-click BMC, one-click KVM), and then using a login script corresponding to the user's intent to log in to the target server's BMC system and display the target interface corresponding to the user's intent. Alternatively, the user can directly determine the login script pre-configured for the O&M option and use it to log in to the target server's BMC system and display the target interface corresponding to the O&M option.

[0052] Next, bind the virtual screen to the out-of-band management interface of Server X, or bind the KVM interface of Server X to the virtual screen. After the binding is successful, the noVNC service generates an accessible link based on the binding result between the virtual screen and the out-of-band management interface or KVM interface and returns it. By clicking this link, the operation and maintenance personnel can directly access the out-of-band management interface or KVM interface of Server X and perform operation and maintenance operations on Server X.

[0053] The method provided in the above embodiment implements a standardized one-click management process across manufacturers, reducing the complexity of operation and maintenance, by using a proxy server to uniformly receive access page requests, establish out-of-band connections, log in to the BMC system, bind virtual screens, and generate accessible links. At the same time, with the help of pre-configured login scripts, manual account and password entry operations are eliminated, supporting centralized and secure credential management. In addition, this solution can be used for batch operation and maintenance management of multiple servers, significantly improving the efficiency of multi-server operation and maintenance, thereby effectively addressing the differences in BMC access, security management, and large-scale operation and maintenance challenges among different manufacturers.

[0054] See also Figure 3 , shows a flow chart of a method for operation and maintenance processing of a specific server according to an embodiment of the present invention, including the following steps:

[0055] S301: The target proxy server receives an access page request and obtains relevant information of the target server and an operation and maintenance option selected by the user from the access page request;

[0056] S302: establishing an out-of-band connection with the target server according to the relevant information of the target server, and initializing a virtual screen in response to successful establishment of the out-of-band connection;

[0057] S303: In response to the operation and maintenance option being an access option, obtaining an account and password for logging into the target server through a first login script preset for the access option, logging into a BMC system of the target server using the account and password, and displaying an out-of-band management interface of the target server;

[0058] S304: In response to the operation and maintenance option being a remote control option, obtaining version information of the out-of-band firmware of the target server through a second login script preset for the remote control option;

[0059] S305: Determine a download link for a specific file according to the device identifier of the target server and the version information of the out-of-band firmware, so as to obtain the specific file through the download link;

[0060] S306: Retrieve relevant configuration information for logging into the target server BMC system from the specific file, start a remote console client of the target server BMC system according to the relevant configuration information, and display a visual interface of the remote console client;

[0061] S307: Bind the virtual screen and the target interface, generate an accessible link based on the binding result and return it, so that the user can access the target interface by clicking the accessible link to perform operation and maintenance operations on the target server.

[0062] In this implementation, a pre-configured automated script must also be synchronized to each proxy server. This automated script automatically logs in, effectively completing the login process for the user, thus eliminating the risk of password leakage. The target proxy server Y uses the script to log in, activate the VNC and noVNC services, and return an accessible link through the noVNC service. When the user clicks the link, they are directly presented with the desired interface and can immediately perform maintenance operations on server X.

[0063] In Example 1, the user clicks on the "One-click BMC" option. In this case, a preset browser automation tool (i.e., the first login script) needs to be used. The tool is essentially composed of code, so the account and password of one or more servers can be configured in the tool. When used subsequently, the required account and password can be obtained directly from the tool, such as the account and password for logging into server X. In actual operation, different server manufacturers require different login methods. For example, manufacturer Q requires a specific username and password combination for login, and encrypted communication is required through the HTTPS protocol. In addition, a verification code needs to be provided when logging in. Manufacturer P requires the use of SSH keys for identity authentication, and the login interface supports multiple authentication methods, including username and password, two-factor authentication, etc.

[0064] In this case, you can retrieve the brand information of Server X from its related information to determine the login method corresponding to that brand information. Using this login method, you can automatically fill in and log in to Server X's BMC system using the account and password for Server X obtained from the aforementioned tool, completing automated login. After login, the out-of-band management interface of Server X is automatically displayed. If a connection can be established, bind the virtual screen to Server X's out-of-band management interface.

[0065] Furthermore, while the CMDB can also store information such as each server's account and password, this approach requires access to the CMDB, which can lead to high resource consumption for batch storage. Therefore, this solution prefers configuring server accounts and passwords in a browser automation tool.

[0066] In Example 2, the user clicks the "One-click KVM" option. In this case, a tool such as IPMItool (i.e., the second login script) is used to obtain the version information of Server X's out-of-band firmware. The out-of-band firmware can be an out-of-band management interface. This is because different versions of the out-of-band management interface have different login and encryption methods, such as versions 1.0 and 2.0. Different servers also differ, and can be distinguished based on their device identifiers. Based on the version information and Server X's device identifier, a download link for the Java Network Launch Protocol (JNLP) file is determined, and the JNLP file is obtained from this download link. The JNLP file contains the configuration information related to Server X's login. Based on this configuration information, JAVAWS (Java Web Start) is used to launch Server X's remote console Java client, displaying the Java client's KVM interface. This then binds the virtual screen to the Java client's visual interface.

[0067] IPMItool is used to access the functionality of the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI), a system interface that manages and monitors computer systems out-of-band. It is a command prompt used to control and configure IPMI-supported devices.

[0068] JAVAWS is a new technology for deploying and distributing Java applications over the Web. When a user clicks a hyperlink pointing to a specific launcher file (JNLP), the Web browser launches JAVAWS, which automatically downloads, caches, and runs the Java-based application. This entire process requires no user interaction beyond the initial click.

[0069] JNLP file is a way provided by Java that allows users to directly execute Java applications through a browser. It allows users to open a Java application directly through a URL link on a web page.

[0070] The method provided in the above embodiment uniformly processes access requests through the target proxy server, establishes an out-of-band connection and initializes the virtual screen, automatically triggers the pre-configured script program corresponding to the operation and maintenance option selected by the user, and realizes convenient automatic login, so that the user can complete the BMC system login or remote console startup without manual operation, effectively shielding complex processes, significantly improving the efficiency and convenience of multi-server operation and maintenance, and ensuring the rapid acquisition and secure access of access links, allowing users to easily and efficiently perform operation and maintenance operations on the server.

[0071] This solution aims to address the efficiency and security issues in existing server operation and maintenance. It addresses the obvious deficiencies in standardization, security, and efficiency of traditional BMC management methods. By integrating browser, VNC, noVNC, and login technologies, combined with proxy servers and automatic login scripts, it implements login and remote transmission of operation interfaces. This allows for unified cross-vendor BMC management and one-click remote console startup, effectively eliminating dependence on server vendors and significantly improving the adaptability and operation and maintenance efficiency of multi-vendor server out-of-band management.

[0072] At the same time, the integrated CMDB enables precise control of user access rights and dynamically obtains server BMC login credentials through automated scripts corresponding to operation and maintenance options. This significantly improves the security level of BMC out-of-band management, effectively avoiding the potential risk of account and password leakage, and providing an additional layer of security for server out-of-band management. In addition, with noVNC technology, one-click access to the BMC and launching the remote console from the web page are supported, significantly improving the efficiency of operation and maintenance management, simplifying the operation process, allowing operation and maintenance personnel to quickly respond to server status, and improving the convenience and timeliness of operation and maintenance work.
