Background technology
At present, blade server system is as the nova in the server, answer that network is developed in depth and breadth, the demand of user's cluster management and constantly expansion and being born, be the low-cost server platform of a kind of high available high density (HAHD, HighAvailability High Density).The high bulk density that blade server system had, optimization are disposed, are made things convenient for clear superiorities such as management, resource sharing, high performance-price ratio, have made it become the main direction of server development.
The characteristics of blade server are exactly that a large amount of blades is installed in narrow space.Along with improving constantly of system power dissipation, with heat dissipation problem in close relations such as blade server processing power, energy utilization rate on, to blade server severe challenge has been proposed.We can say that a maximum bottleneck of blade server development is exactly a heat dissipation problem.
Under the prerequisite that guarantees the blade server processing power, system's electric heating amount generally can't reduce significantly.But by rational heat dissipation design, can make blade server system have heat dispersion preferably, thereby improve the energy utilization rate and the processing power of system.
A kind of radiating mode of blade server is provided in the Chinese patent of the patent No. for ZL200610169648.7, blade server is each blade heat radiation by self blower module and air channel, the air channel dividing plate corresponding with blade is set, and described air channel dividing plate is positioned at the close blade side in air channel in blade server; In blade server, be provided for gathering the temperature collect module of each blade temperature; This method also comprises: a. blade server is determined the ruuning situation of each blade; B. blade server is according to the temperature that temperature collect module collected, and control is in the open angle of the pairing air channel of the blade dividing plate of running status, and the pairing air channel of the blade dividing plate that control is in the off-duty state is in closed condition.
Said method has solved the technical matters that how to improve the radiating efficiency of blade server system.
Yet present blade server is a kind of high-density systems, can hold several to tens, 20 blades usually, and the blade kind that is inserted in the blade server case is different, and the demand that the bottleneck of heat radiation reaches air quantity also is not quite similar.Owing to need the initiatively temperature regime of each blade of poll of blade server administration module in the prior art, so when multiple different types of blade is inserted into cabinet, administration module is difficult to provide a unified radiating management strategy, and coming provides corresponding radiating mode at the radiating requirements of each blade.Simultaneously, when a kind of blade with different radiating requirements is inserted into cabinet, original radiating management strategy must be changed again, promptly, the mode of poll must change, and this moment, the radiating management strategy after the change is owing to will consider new radiating requirements, and it has not been optimum for satisfying of blade heat radiation before.

Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described, should be appreciated that preferred embodiment described herein only is used for description and interpretation the present invention, and be not used in qualification the present invention.
Fig. 1 is the overview flow chart according to the radiating management method of the blade server of the embodiment of the invention.
As shown in Figure 1, the radiating management method of the blade server of present embodiment comprises:
Step S102: all have sensor in each blade in the blade server, blade sends to described blade Management Controller with the sensor announcement information on one's own initiative by the sensor interface on the blade Management Controller, wherein, the sensor announcement information comprises sensor parameters information and temperature variation warning message.
Step S104: the blade server administration module is accepted the sensor announcement information by many master controllers bus from the blade Management Controller, and blade is carried out radiating management.Wherein, many master controllers bus of being utilized is supported many main operations, be that blade server administration module and blade Management Controller can send data to the other side as main equipment, like this, utilize many master controllers bus, the blade Management Controller just can send information to the blade server administration module on one's own initiative, and needn't not have the initiatively sensor announcement information of each blade of poll of money by the blade server management again.Wherein, many master controllers bus can be I
