Please refer to Fig. 1, it shows the flow chart according to the computer management method of the embodiment of the invention.The computer management method of the embodiment of the invention comprises following step.At first, provide knife edge type server (Blade Server) system 1 as step (a).For instance, knife edge type server system 1 has calcspar as shown in Figure 2.Knife edge type server system 1 comprise exchange knife edge sheet (Switch Blade) 12 and M knife edge type server unit 10_1,10_2 ..., 10_M, M is the natural number greater than 1.Each M knife edge type server unit 10_1-10_M comprise a plurality of cutter server sheets (ServerBlade) 130_1,130_2 ..., 130_N and modularization management knife edge sheet (Modular ManagementBlade, MMB) 110_1,110_2 ..., 110_M, N is the natural number greater than 1.Each M MMB 110_1-110_M interconnects via network path each other.
Then as step (b), in response to one first user's Action Events, M MMB110_1-110_M is selected as master control (Master) MMB M.For instance, MMB 110_1 is selected as master control MMB M, in order to the operation of all MMB 110_2-110_M in the keyholed back plate knife edge type server system 1.
As step (c), set the network parameter data of master control MMB M in response to one second user's Action Events then.For instance, the network parameter data comprise the network address of master control MMB M.In an operational instances, the user via DynamicHost set agreement (Dynamic Host ConfigurationProtocol, DHCP) or fixed network address (Static IP Address) set the network address of master control MMB M.
Then as step (d), master control MMB M sends topology and finds divide into groups to the knife edge type server system 1 other M-1 MMB 110_2-110_M of (Topology Discovery) communications protocol, with the topology network relation data between definite master control MMB M and M-1 MMB 110_2-110_M.For instance, topology discovery communications protocol is grouped into and satisfies Link Layer Discovery Protocol (Link LayerDiscovery Protocol, packet LLDP).
Please refer to Fig. 3, it shows the detailed block diagram of the master control MMB M among Fig. 2.For instance, comprise processing core circuit 100 and network exchange circuit (Switch) 200 among the master control MMB M.Network exchange circuit 200 comprises path (Uplink) connectivity port 200a and underpass (Downlink) connectivity port 200b, and it corresponds to each cutter server sheet 130_1-130_N among the identical knife edge type server unit 10_1 in order to be connected to exchange knife edge sheet 12 via network path and to be connected to master control MMB M respectively.Network exchange circuit 200 also comprises connectivity port 200c, in order to be connected to other MMB 110_2-110_M via network path.
Handle in core circuit 100 and the switched circuit 200 on each and have bus (Bus) control interface between path connectivity port 200a, the underpass connectivity port 200b and connectivity port 200c, to control the operator scheme of each connectivity port.For instance, this bus control interface is list type periphery (SerialPeripheral Interface, SPI) bus interface.
In an operational instances; master control MMB M is before sending the grouping of topology discovery communications protocol, and the core processing circuit 100 among the master control MMB M for example goes up path connectivity port 200a via bus control interface control and underpass connectivity port 200b operates in a protected mode (Switch ProtectMode).For instance, the connectivity port that operates in protected mode can't receive the grouping that transmit other connectivity port that operates in protected mode, operates in the connectivity port of protected mode and also can't transmit grouping to other.So, the topology that master control MMB M sends finds that the communications protocol grouping only transfers to the MMB 110_2-110_M that corresponds to other knife edge type server unit 10_2-10_M, so that the network relativeness between master control MMB M and MMB 110_2-110_M is confirmed.
