Abstract
The invention provides an extension method for managing an IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) interface protocol by a server. In the method, server health information, video signals, storage information and resolution information are all stored in a Flashmemory in a BMC and then access can be carried out on the data through calling embedded base library functions which are compiled via C language. The method comprises the steps of: 1) establishing an extension interface protocol support environment through equipment such as an ICMB access switch, a storage board card and the like to ensure that the health information of the switch and storage equipment can be monitored and remote ON/OFF operations can be carried out on the equipment; 2) realizing an RPC (Remote Position Control) calling method, realizing bidirectional transmission of WebServer data by a user through a calling command, replacing XML (Extensive Makeup Language) by a JSON (Javascript Serialized Object Notation) structure for data storage, and respectively reading and writing JSON structure data at a client side and a server side by the user through JavaScript and embedded C language so as to realize command sending and state reading and writing; and 3) storing storage volume management information in the Flashmemory of the BMC via a form specified in IPMI standard, and carrying out access on the storage volume management information through an IPMI interface so as to carry out RAID (Redundant Array Of Independent Disks) and LVM (Logical Volume Manager) operations.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of server admin technical field, specifically a kind of extended method of server admin IPMI interface protocol.
Background technology
The general server way to manage is only monitored the separate unit server, and is also higher to institute's watch-dog degree of dependence, just can't continue server is managed when server outage or system crash.After the IPMI interface specification is put into effect, most of producers utilize this standard to realize being independent of the server supervision of operating system and power supply status, can read remote server health and fitness information, access system daily record, send function such as alarm, then seldom relate in the integration to the expansion (storage integrated circuit board, switch) of its monitoring range and other functions (redirected) as storage management system, video.
At present, the blade server range of application is more and more wider, and market share is also more and more higher.Because equipment such as multiple servers and switch, storage integrated circuit board are arranged in the blade server rack, switch and storage integrated circuit board provide network and data storage service, if these equipment go wrong, and the service that the system that can have a strong impact on provides.Therefore, also need other equipment such as switch, storage integrated circuit board are monitored.In addition, except equipment health is monitored, also have video to be redirected and mode such as network store system manages server.The keeper can be redirected by video the server vision signal is switched to this locality, checks remote server ruuning situation; By network store system, user data can be set roll up the storage server that makes on user's shared network, disk array (RAID) is set guarantees safety of data, for each user provides high-performance, reliable stores service.These several modes often each architectonical, mutually disjoint, the user need open a cover system if will check the server health status, if will carry out network memory management, then needs to open an other cover system.
Though the IPMI interface protocol has improved the monitoring capacity to hardware and BIOS to a certain extent, can't satisfy current demand to server admin: watch-dog is limited in scope, and can't realize the centralized management to distinct device in the server system; Can't compatible other way to manages, management function is comparatively single, only can realize that health and fitness information detects and remote on-off, can't realize that video is redirected and the network memory management function.Therefore, need expand, not only will realize unified centralized management, also will integrate other way to manages, make it to possess greater functionality plurality of devices to the IPMI interface protocol.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of expansion IPMI interface protocol that passes through, make it have the method for stronger monitoring capacity.
The objective of the invention is to realize in the following manner, comprise following content:
1) by ICMB access switch, memory board card apparatus, set up expansion interface agreement back-up environment, make BMC can read information on the new equipment monitoring chip, the health and fitness information of monitoring switch, memory device also can carry out remote on-off to the said equipment;
2) realize the RPC call method, the user is by the transmitted in both directions of call instruction realization with Web Server data, data storage adopts the JSON structure to replace XML, the user respectively by JavaScript and embedded type C language reading and writing JSON structured data, realizes that order sends and the state reading and writing at the client and server end;
3) call by RPC, the method for user instruction and bottom server end data double-way transmission is provided.By JavaScript and embedded type C language it is visited respectively at the client and server end, it is more convenient that data are transmitted, the form of storage volume management information with defined in the IPMI standard left among the Flash memory of BMC, by the IPMI interface it is visited, carry out RAID and LVM operation;
4) vision signal after BMC compression is handled with the IPMI protocol encapsulation, storage management system information is write among the Flash memory among the BMC, call by RPC, obtain network store system IP address information, formation enters the hyperlink of network store system, realizes that video is redirected, and the video resolution instruction is write the JSON structure, by transmission JSON, realize the video resolution adjustment.
The extended method of server admin IPMI interface protocol of the present invention, beneficial effect is:
1) by ICMB access switch, storage integrated circuit board, set up expansion IPMI interface protocol back-up environment, make BMC can read information on the new equipment monitoring chip.
2) use the JSON structure to replace traditional XML, compare with XML, JSON does not need special analytical tool, can not expend too much server resource, effectively reduces the space of shared embedded Web Server.
3) call by RPC, the method for user instruction and bottom server end data double-way transmission is provided.By JavaScript and embedded type C language it is visited respectively at the client and server end, it is more convenient that data are transmitted.
4) use the JSON data more convenient than traditional XML, the JSON data are JavaScript object tags of a kind C language, do not need special analytical tool that it is resolved, and have reduced the bottom code amount, and bottom C language library function also can be directly to its operation.Both improved the response speed of server end, saved the storage space of embedded Web Server again, for the function expansion provides condition.
5) expand the IPMI interface protocol, made its health and fitness information that can obtain switch, memory board, realized video snapshot and resolution adjustment function, integrated the network memory management system, user-friendly.
