Description

Dynamically set the method for management function at IPMI
Technical field
The invention relates to a kind of method of dynamically setting management function at IPMI, particularly about a kind of have IPMI computer system of (IPMI) of being applied in, by the customized order of IPMI (IPMI OEM command), the flag state that system operator can be set this appellative function is the module that activates (enable) or forbid (disable) this function.
Background technology
Because Information technology and electronic technology development are rapidly, industry is constantly developed remote service of all kinds to satisfy user's demand.Be example with the IPMI that generally uses now, can utilize the physical characteristic of IPMI monitor server, as temperature, operating voltage, fan running state, many situations such as power supply supply situation, be system management, recovery and information management provide information, so numerous functions becomes the indispensable function of server already, for providing more function to the user, IPMI function firmware on this server has often been given multiple instruction, when the user carried out start-up system, these functions were by reading one by one in the firmware and starting.The equipment that has adopted IPMI (IPMI) technology at present mainly is network application IA frame serverPC, blade server (Blade Server) and industrial control computer, and main application scenario is Internet service system, telecommunication system and all kinds of system that needs telemanagement.
In Internet uses, often, a variety of causes suspends because of causing system service, common solution is to restart server, differentiate failure cause or solve fault, IPMI (IPMI) can improve the situation that fault takes place automatically, effectively, also or when hardware occur when unusual, the monitoring function that IPMI (IPMI) provides can be immediately with information warning reporting system keeper; Or while start-up system auto-control function, before carrying out artificial trouble shooting, the system manager prolongs the time of server work; Or the server system that is caused by software fault is when machine, IPMI (IPMI) external inspecting system can the help system keeper understand when machine server hardware working condition, differentiate the reason of fault, and adopting the operation that remote hardware recovers or restart facility is recovered server, this function has improved the availability of server.
Aspect telecommunication system, system need be equipped with a large amount of automation services and watch-dog, runs without interruption to guarantee 24 hours.Owing to adopt special equipment and special-purpose software, system cost is high at present, and because the raising of new application demand and new technology, existing equipment function more and more difficulty satisfies the demands.Each tame product configuration performance disunity also causes forming a centralized and unified system monitoring management platform.Server with IPMI (IPMI) technology can make telecommunication system improve the availability of equipment, and reduces processing cost.The central arithmetic processor (CPU) that the operation of baseboard management controller (BMC) can be independent of server carries out, when the server operation irregularity, as operating system failure, when software fault causes that server is worked as machine, baseboard management controller (BMC) network work pattern can be carried out hardware reopening, shutdown or restarting operating systems to server, with the operation of recovery system again.
In all kinds of systems that need telemanagement, the telemanagement that disperses always is the big difficult point that all types of industries control is used, it has complex management, the cost height, performance difficulty, as be placed on long-range unmanned bank's automation services terminal of guarding occasion, often owing to unknown reason, cause terminal out of service unusually as software operation.The tradition solution is to send someone system is restarted, or monitoring is installed in application system works with the management software coordinated management, but this method performance difficulty, and also powerless when the systems soft ware fault causes when machine, because dependence system central authorities' arithmetic processor (CPU) and operating system just can be moved.Detachment system central authorities arithmetic processor (CPU) implementation fully of the baseboard management controller (BMC) of IPMI (IPMI).Under the network work pattern, can under remote mode, restart operation to its main frame by long-range baseboard management controller (BMC), remote terminal hardware is restarted, also can recover automatically or the automatic condition that provides the necessary technical of installing of remote software, improve the availability of this kind equipment greatly for function.
Yet, at present different functional requirements is increasing, when the supplier of system carries out the function extended operation, write the intelligent platform management interface firmware sign indicating numbers (IPMIfirmware code) with difference in functionality more, and then for the user provides more demand and service, therefore, if demand is the more, the service that system provides is also just many more, and user's burden is also bigger relatively.But the unwanted function of a part of user then can provide in the lump because of most of users are required, and especially for the demander of some specific functions, special services, many functions do not need, and can improve user's burden relatively if provide in the lump.
One highest wisdom does not have special demands; system supplier can provide same set of intelligent platform management interface firmware sign indicating number (IPMI firmware code) to the user usually; the function of being developed is offered the user in the lump; if a certain user has special demand to a new function; system supplier then adds new function in the intelligent platform management interface firmware sign indicating number (IPMI firmware code); and activation provides use in the lump when start is initial; but this new function even might can be restricted because of the software and hardware characteristic causes the use of other function; but, therefore not needing to cause the user of new function must bear the thing that other function can be restricted because the supplier of system shares a cover intelligent platform management interface firmware sign indicating number (IPMI firmware code).If avoid the generation of above-mentioned situation, must be in response to different users's demand, set up the intelligent platform management interface firmware sign indicating number (IPMI firmware code) of different demands, this just causes the burden on the supplier of the system design cost and is difficult for general shortcoming, and because above-mentioned specific demand if because of different clients different, the different new function that then must provide, this further causes the limited situation of difference in functionality more to increase the weight of, so not only can't be quick, correctly, satisfy user's demand effectively, more can't be general at different firmwares (firmware) and hardware platform.
How solving the shortcoming of above-mentioned prior art, provide a kind of user to select IPMI and method convenient and can the functional module that using system did not provide limitedly for use, is present problem demanding prompt solution.
