Description
Technical field
The invention belongs to server field, the firmware of especially a kind of remote management BBU modules based on BMC and its exploitation
Method.
Background technology
BMC can be all used above the server of current main flow and removes remote monitoring and administration, but runs into the situation of unexpected power down
Machine abnormal power-down loss of data will be made, external AC can be prevented from external connection battery BBU for such case manufacturer server
The unexpected power down of power supply causes the loss of data for being currently running processing, but BBU management design is all fairly simple, it is impossible to reach very well
Operability, user intuitively remote control and can not obtain BBU information, or even occur can not be timely when BBU failures occur
It was found that causing unnecessary loss, the stability of server is had influence on.
The shortcoming of obvious this method is it is obvious that when existing manufacturer server design BBU modules go to prevent power down, be
Simple power supply and charging module are provided, are all that simple program setting and then progress hardware connection are used, user can not be long-range
Intuitively see BBU specific situation, and BBU can not timely be had found and change BBU when going wrong, and cause BBU can not be just
Often use, the data after abnormal power-down that in turn results in is lost.
For this reason, it is necessary to design a kind of firmware of new BBU modules, user can be facilitated to monitor BBU module feelings in real time
Condition.
