Abstract
The invention discloses a method for determining the IPMB addresses of BMCs of blade servers and belongs to the technical field of blade server communication. The method adopts a structure which comprises management module and blade servers, wherein the management module performs data interaction with the BMC of each blade server through an IPMB bus. The structure is characterized in that: each IPMB bus is provided with an electrically programmable read-only-memory (EPROM) for storing the IPMB address of the BMCs of the blade servers; the management module writes the specified IPMB addresses of the BMCs of the blade servers in the EPROMs in the buses when starting for the first time; and when inserted, the blade servers can configure the IPMB addresses of the BMCs of the blade servers by reading the IPMB addresses in the EPROMs. The management module can change the IPMB addresses of the BMCs of the blade servers flexibly according to needs, thereby improving the safety of the IPMB addresses.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of blade server communication technical field, definite method of the IPMB address of specifically a kind of blade server BMC.
Background technology
Blade server with the saving space of bulk density height, maximum possible, be convenient to manage concentratedly, dispose succinct extremely user's favor, and wherein the management system of blade also becomes the important channel of different manufacturers technology for revealing characteristics gradually.
As shown in Figure 1, what current blade was managed mainly is this mode, and administration module carries out data interaction by the BMC (baseboard management controller) of IPMB bus (Intelligent Platform Management Bus) and each blade self.But being administration module, this mutual prerequisite must know the IPMB address of each blade BMC.Abide by the IPMI agreement, administration module adopts the IPMB bus mostly with communicating by letter of blade, and in fact can be said to is administration module and the communicating by letter of blade BMC.Adopt the both sides of IPMB communication mode that an IPMB address must respectively be arranged, wherein the address of administration module has only one, easily determine, but the IPMB address of each blade is necessary different, and adopt blade BMC to read the hardware configuration that fixes more and determine, and administration module can not be revised.
Present blade server is inserted on the base plate mostly, so at present a lot of manufacturers are the IPMB address of confirming local BMC by 4-5 the high-low level with the pin of blade, the address of coming to determine IPMB in this way is fairly simple really, but thisly determine that with hardware the shortcoming of the mode of IPMB address is that the people that makees the administration module firmware must go at first to see that the schematic diagram of backboard just can know the state of each blade IPMB address wire, and in a single day determine just can not change, dirigibility is very poor.
If the firmware development personnel of administration module can go to specify the IPMB address of each blade server BMC according to the needs of oneself, not only help accelerating tempo of development, also improved the portability of administration module firmware program simultaneously.
Summary of the invention
Technical assignment of the present invention provides a kind of administration module and can revise the IPMB address of each blade server BMC as required flexibly, simultaneously also increase definite method of IPMB address of a kind of blade server BMC of the security of IPMB address.
Technical assignment of the present invention is realized in the following manner, comprise administration module and blade server, administration module carries out data interaction by the BMC of IPMB bus and each blade server self, add the IPMB address that a slice EPROM deposits the BMC of each blade server on every IPMB bus, administration module writes the IPMB address of appointment of the BMC of each blade server in every road EPROM when starting for the first time; When inserting blade server, blade server just can dispose self BMC IPMB address by reading IPMB address among the EPROM.
EPROM (Erasable Programmable ROM, erasable programmable ROM) can repeat to wipe and write.
Definite method of the IPMB address of a kind of blade server BMC of the present invention has the following advantages:
1, administration module can be revised the IPMB address of each blade server BMC as required flexibly;
2, increased the security of IPMB address;
3, help accelerating tempo of development;
4, improved the portability of administration module firmware program; Thereby, have good value for applications.
Description of drawings
The present invention is further described below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
Accompanying drawing 1 is the structured flowchart of the blade server management system of prior art;
Accompanying drawing 2 is the structured flowchart of definite method of the IPMB address of a kind of blade server BMC.
Embodiment
Explain below the definite method work to the IPMB address of a kind of blade server BMC of the present invention with reference to Figure of description and specific embodiment.
Embodiment:
Definite method of the IPMB address of a kind of blade server BMC of the present invention, its structure comprises administration module and blade server, administration module carries out data interaction by the BMC of IPMB bus and each blade server self, add the IPMB address that a slice EPROM deposits the BMC of each blade server on every IPMB bus, administration module writes the IPMB address of appointment of the BMC of each blade server in every road EPROM when starting for the first time; When inserting blade server, blade server just can dispose self BMC IPMB address by reading IPMB address among the EPROM.
Except that the described technical characterictic of instructions, be the known technology of those skilled in the art.
Claims (1)
1. definite method of the IPMB address of a blade server BMC, comprise administration module and blade server, administration module carries out data interaction by the BMC of IPMB bus and each blade server self, it is characterized in that adding on every IPMB bus the IPMB address that a slice EPROM deposits the BMC of each blade server, administration module writes the IPMB address of appointment of the BMC of each blade server in every road EPROM when starting for the first time; When inserting blade server, blade server just can dispose self BMC IPMB address by reading IPMB address among the EPROM.
