Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to server power supply technical field, be specifically related to a kind of method for designing being controlled power supply status (active or standby) by BMC.
Background technology
Redundant power is for a kind of power supply in server, be made up of two duplicate power modules, load balancing is carried out by chip controls power supply, when a power module breaks down, another power module can take over its work at once, after replacing power supply, be again two power module collaborative works.Redundant power is the high availability in order to realize server system.In addition to servers, disc array system application also widely.
RPS power supply (Redundant Power System, redundant power system) as the external DC power supply of part switch, if RPS and power receiving equipment adopt identical ac power supply system, when power receiving equipment internal electric source occurs abnormal, RPS can continue as faulty equipment and carry out direct current supply, and the lasting normal of support equipment runs; If RPS and power receiving equipment adopt different ac power supply systems, can also continue to provide direct current supply when the external communication power supply of power receiving equipment breaks down, the lasting normal of support equipment runs.
Along with Internet era development, the status of server significantly promotes, in order to pursue the Effec-tive Function of server, increasing people attempts on power supply, find energy-conservation breach, so the efficiency of power supply constantly gets a promotion, but be only that the lifting of power supply single efficiency still cannot meet the demand of user to High-effective Service device power supply, so we start to attempt switch suitable for the redundancy feature of redundant power to improve the utilization ratio of power supply.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention is: the invention provides a kind of method for designing being controlled power supply status (active or standby) by BMC.
The technical solution adopted in the present invention is:
A kind of method for designing being controlled power supply status (active or standby) by BMC, by the steering order of PSU power supply is write in BMC program, the self-checking function of BMC to PSU power supply status is utilized to judge the real-time status of power supply, and the parameter that sets in advance is needed according to client, according to the demand of client, the state of redundant power is regulated, realize from equal stream mode to the switching of active+standby pattern, or active+standby module is to the operation of equal stream mode, this handoff procedure is simple, but reliability is high.
Except realizing efficient power supply mode, by the steering order of power supply is write in BMC program, poll handover mechanism is added in BMC program, realize " prolongation " in power supply serviceable life, when in a period of time, PSU0 is in active, PSU1 is in standby, and rotates at regular intervals, and prevents PSU0 to be in higher load condition for a long time and has an impact to power quality and life-span.Such as first week PSU1 serves as standby role, and second week PSU0 serves as standby role etc., and concrete switching time can define according to the demand of user.
In order to ensure the reliability of electrical source exchange, present invention employs a kind of BMC status poll mechanism: namely BMC can remember the power supply status in a period of time required for client, and the 30s(time can be changed at regular intervals) inquiry primary power source state, when the state inquired is different from required state, BMC can give an order to power supply automatically again, until the state of power supply meets the requirements, and inquiry is gone down always, probability switching failure problem can be avoided like this, improve the reliability of active+standby.
Note: PMBus(power management bus) be a kind of digital power management agreement of open standard.Promote and the communicating of power supply changeover device or other equipment by definition transmission and physical interface and command language.This agreement is thought owing to not having suitable standard by a group and inhibits the power supply of the development of digital power management solution and semiconductor manufacturers jointly to set up.
Beneficial effect of the present invention:
Adopt technical solutions according to the invention, realize PSU power supply from equal stream mode to the switching of active+standby pattern, or active+standby module is to the operation of equal stream mode, handoff procedure is simple, reliability is high, improve the utilization ratio of power supply, reduce power consumption, improve the practicality of equipment and functional.

Fig. 2 is that power supply status periodic training of the present invention switches schematic diagram.
Embodiment
Below according to Figure of description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, the present invention is further described:
Embodiment 1:
A kind of method for designing being controlled power supply status (active or standby) by BMC, by the steering order of PSU power supply is write in BMC program, the self-checking function of BMC to PSU power supply status is utilized to judge the real-time status of power supply, and the parameter that sets in advance is needed according to client, according to the demand of client, the state of redundant power is regulated, realize from equal stream mode to the switching of active+standby pattern, or active+standby module is to the operation of equal stream mode, this handoff procedure is simple, but reliability is high.
Embodiment 2:
On the basis of embodiment 1, the present embodiment is by writing in BMC program by the steering order of power supply, power supply " prolongation " serviceable life can also be made: when in a period of time, PSU0 is in active, PSU1 is in standby, in order to prevent PSU0 to be in higher load condition for a long time, power quality and life-span are had an impact simultaneously, poll handover mechanism can be added in BMC program, at set intervals, both regularly exchange at duty, as shown in Figure 2, can control power supply at first week PSU0 is active state, and PSU1 is standby state; Second week control power supply be standby state at second week PSU0, PSU0 is active state, repeatedly poll, and arranging of this function effectively can ensure that power supply not long-term work is at higher load condition, for power supply quality and have good effect serviceable life.
Embodiment 3:
On the basis of embodiment 1 or 2, the present embodiment is in order to ensure the reliability of electrical source exchange, present invention employs a kind of BMC status poll mechanism: namely BMC can remember the power supply status in a period of time required for client, and the 30s(time can be changed at regular intervals) inquiry primary power source state, when the state inquired is different from required state, BMC can give an order to power supply automatically again, until the state of power supply meets the requirements, and inquiry is gone down always, probability switching failure problem can be avoided like this, improve the reliability of active+standby.
Embodiment 4:
When the systems are operating normally, user selects to allow power supply rest on equal stream mode or to be switched to Intelligent redundant pattern according to the needs of oneself, such as, when user needs to allow power supply enter active+standby state, user is first manual gives an order to power supply that (before giving an order, system can detect power supply status automatically, the inefficacy that gives an order when power supply status is abnormal), after having descended instruction, BMC can remember given an order state automatically, after 100ms, system can detect the state of power supply again, if the state detected and the state consistency required that gives an order, then skip automatically; If the state detected is inconsistent with the state that requires of giving an order, system can decision instruction to lose efficacy and automatic again giving an order to power supply makes it be switched to required state.This mode by BMC control power supply status can ensure the reliability switched.
