10. the method for main frame according to claim 9 and baseboard management controller shared device, it is characterized in that, for the equipment working state identification means, by to device request formation monitor, state according to last request in formation identifies quene state simultaneously, and then the description of finishing equipment duty;
Wherein, sign content comprises: formation free mark, queue request interruptible identification and queue request source sign, wherein,
The formation free mark effectively current not request of expression conducts interviews to equipment, under this state, all can carry out immediately the access of any request source;
The queue request interruptible identification represents that whether current device request queue last-minute plea is in the middle of a continuous request sequence, if not, interruptible identification is effective, be identified at this request back and can add other requests, if it is interruptible identification is invalid, and sign can not be added new request.
The request source of queue request source sign expression current device request queue last-minute plea.
