Detailed Description
The invention is described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific examples, but the invention is not limited thereto.
Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a server management system according to an embodiment of the invention.
Referring to fig. 1, a server management system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes servers 110(1) - (110 (n), a switch 120, a gateway 130, a light emitting device 140, a sound generating device 150, and a mobile device 160. Servers 110(1) -110 (n) are coupled to gateway 130 through switch 120. The Switch 120 is, for example, a Rack Switch (Top of Rack Switch). The gateway 130 is, for example, an internet of things gateway. The gateway 130 is coupled to the internet of things devices such as the light emitting device 140, the sound emitting device 150, and the mobile device 160. The invention does not limit the types of the devices of the Internet of things. That is, the gateway 130 may also be coupled to other kinds of internet of things devices.
In this embodiment, the servers 110(1) -110 (n) may be powered by a power supply. Each of the servers 110(1) - (110 (n) is configured with a controller, such as a baseboard management controller, for obtaining basic information such as power consumption and temperature of the components of the servers 110(1) - (110 (n). The bmc may also collect cpu (computer Usage Per Second) data in servers 110(1) to 110 (n). Since the second-calculated usage values of the servers 110(1) to 110(n) are in a direct relationship with the workload (workload), and the system workload is also in a direct relationship with the actual power consumption, the power required by the workloads of the servers 110(1) to 110(n) can be predicted by using an algorithm. For example, the daily workload of the servers 110(1) to 110(n) may be recorded as historical data, and the historical data may be input into the machine learning module to predict the power value after a predetermined period of time by using the current power value. The algorithm for predicting the power values of servers 110(1) - (110 (n) may be implemented in the controller of each server 110(1) - (110 (n).
In one embodiment, the controllers of each server 110(1) -110 (n) may communicate with each other via Internet of things protocol (IOTprotocol). In detail, when the controller of each server 110(1) to 110(n) obtains a predicted power value, the predicted power value is broadcasted to the controllers of all servers 110(1) to 110 (n). Therefore, the controllers of all servers 110(1) to 110(n) can adjust the rated power values of servers 110(1) to 110(n) based on the received predicted power values. It should be noted that the sum of the rated power values of all servers 110(1) -110 (n) is smaller than the maximum power value that can be provided by the power supply. In practice, the power supply usually outputs only a specific percentage of the maximum power value, so as to maintain the stability of the system and prolong the service life of the power supply components.
In one embodiment, each server 110(1) -110 (n) is assumed to have a nominal power value of 80%. The rated power value of 80% represents that the power supplied by the power supply to each server 110(1) -110 (n) can only achieve a maximum of 80% of the workload. When the predicted power value of the server 110(1) is 100%, the controller of the server 110(1) obtains information of at least one server with the predicted power value smaller than the rated power value because the predicted power value of 100% is greater than the rated power value of 80% of the server 110 (1). For example, the controllers of the servers 110(1), 110(2), and 110(3) can know the predicted power values to be 100%, 70%, and 70%. Therefore, the controllers of the servers 110(2) and 110(3) reduce the power rating of the servers 110(2) and 110(3) to the power supply, and the controller of the server 110(1) can increase the demand for the power supply by 100% of the predicted power. In other words, the controllers of the servers 110(2) and 110(3) adjust the power ratings of the servers 110(2) and 110(3) and the controller of the server 110(1) adjusts the power ratings of the servers 110(1) to provide the servers 110(1) with the power ratings that would otherwise be provided to the servers 110(2) and 110 (3). On the other hand, when the predicted power value of one of the servers 110(1) - (110 (n) is smaller than the rated power value, the controller of the server broadcasts the predicted power value to the controllers of the servers 110(1) - (110 (n).
Therefore, each of the servers 110(1) - (110 (n) of the server management system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may predict the possible power requirements at each stage, and dynamically adjust the power distribution of the power supply according to the predicted power value, so as to achieve the purpose of power load balancing.
In an embodiment, the server management system 100 may also flexibly increase sharing of events to be attended to by using a subscription (subscribe) and publication (publish) manner of Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) through an internet of things protocol. When receiving a system event, the gateway 130 (gateway of the internet of things) can be matched to display light, make sound or make a call on the internet of things device through the communication modules such as Zigbee, bluetooth, 3G, 4G and the like.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a server management method according to an embodiment of the invention.
Referring to fig. 2, in step S201, a topic of calculating usage amount per second of the internet of things is subscribed. In step S202, the calculation usage data per second is collected by the controller of the server. In step S203, the amount of usage and the corresponding power consumption are predicted to be calculated every second. In step S204, the predicted calculated usage amount per second is issued to the controllers of the other servers. In step S205, the server also listens for the usage amount per second issued by other servers. In step S206, the load corresponding to the amount of usage per second is calculated and analyzed. In step S207, the appropriate rated power value is adjusted to achieve load balancing. After the load balancing is achieved, the process returns to steps S202 and S205 to continue to collect the usage data per second and listen to the usage data per second issued by other servers.
Fig. 3 is a flowchart of an event processing method according to an embodiment of the invention.
Referring to fig. 3, in step S301, a controller of a server monitors a system health status. In step S302, it is determined whether an error has occurred. If no error occurs, the process returns to step S301. If an error occurs, in step S303, an error event is issued to the subscriber. The issuing is performed by the gateway 130 to issue the error event to the internet of things device through the internet of things protocol.
In summary, the server management system and the server management method of the present invention can obtain the predicted power value of each server through the communication of the controllers between different servers, and dynamically adjust the power provided by the power supply to each server according to the predicted power value of each server, so as to achieve the goal of more effectively controlling the system power consumption of the server management system. In addition, when an error occurs, error information can be presented on the Internet of things device in the modes of sound and light or incoming calls and the like through the Internet of things gateway, so that a system manager can process the error in real time.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, it should be understood that various changes and modifications can be made therein by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
