Detailed Description
The core of the invention is to provide a method for realizing NCSI protocol, through the method of the invention, when the BMC system realizes the monitoring management of the server through the shared network, the special BMC chip provided with the network card controller supporting the NCSI protocol is not needed, so that the user can have more choices on the BMC chip, and the realization cost is reduced. Another core of the present invention is to provide a system for implementing the NCSI protocol, which has the above beneficial effects.
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a method for implementing the NCSI protocol, which is provided by the present invention, and is used for a BMC system including a BMC and a conversion component connected to the BMC, where the method includes:
step S1: and the conversion component receives the Ethernet message sent by the BMC.
Specifically, in the process of implementing monitoring and management on the server, the BMC chip is an initiator of the command, and the BMC is connected to the conversion component through a common network interface inside the system, for example, an RMI (Remote Method Invocation) interface, and through such a connection relationship, the instruction sent by the BMC is transmitted to the conversion component, which is a basis for managing or monitoring the server. It should be noted that the ethernet packet is a format of the command sent by the BMC.
Step S2: the conversion component parses the ethernet packet.
Specifically, after receiving an ethernet packet sent by the BMC, the conversion component performs an analysis operation on the ethernet packet, where the conversion component includes a related program code (a general hardware logic code), which may be pre-stored in the conversion component, and the packet content of the BMC can be known through the analysis, which is a key for implementing the NCSI protocol.
Step S3: and after the analysis is finished, the conversion component converts the Ethernet message into a network controller sideband interface NCSI message.
Specifically, in order to make the initial ethernet packet support the NCSI protocol, it is further required to convert the analyzed packet (data packet) into the NCSI packet according to the NCSI protocol standard after the analysis is completed, so that the device supporting the NCSI protocol can conveniently process the instruction sent by the BMC.
It should be noted that the conversion component may be a common hardware, and the analysis and conversion process of the ethernet packet is realized by burning in the relevant code, and the subsequent modification and update are also facilitated. By the method, the limitation of the special BMC chip can be avoided, more BMC chips can be selected by a user, and the selection is more free, so that the high cost of selecting the special BMC chip is reduced.
The invention provides a method for realizing an NCSI protocol, which is used for a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) system, wherein the BMC system comprises a BMC and a conversion component connected with the BMC; the method comprises the steps that a conversion component receives an Ethernet message sent by a BMC; the conversion component analyzes the Ethernet message; and after the analysis is finished, the conversion component converts the Ethernet message into a network controller sideband interface NCSI message.
Therefore, when the BMC system monitors and manages the server through the shared network, a special BMC chip provided with a network card controller supporting the NCSI protocol is not needed, and the Ethernet message sent by the BMC forms an NCSI message format supporting the NCSI protocol after being analyzed and converted by the conversion component.
On the basis of the above-described embodiment:
as a preferred embodiment, the method further comprises:
and the conversion component sends the NCSI message to the NCSI network card.
Specifically, after the ethernet packet is converted into the NCSI packet by the conversion component, the ethernet packet can be sent to a device supporting the NCSI protocol to implement functions such as monitoring and management of the BMC, for example, the NCSI network card is configured through the shared network, at this time, only the NCSI packet needs to be sent to the NCSI network card, and the NCSI network card at the server side performs corresponding configuration after receiving the NCSI packet.
It should be noted that, in addition to the NCSI network card, the NCSI network card may also be sent to other devices supporting the NCSI protocol to implement other functions, and the present invention is not limited herein.
As a preferred embodiment, the conversion component is connected to the BMC via an RMI interface.
Specifically, the conversion component is connected to the BMC to implement message transmission, and generally, the conversion component is connected to the BMC through a common network interface inside the BMC system, and the common BMC chip has the interface of this type, and may also be other types of interfaces besides the RMI interface mentioned above, which is not limited herein.
As a preferred embodiment, the method further comprises:
the conversion component receives an NCSI message;
the conversion component analyzes the NCSI message;
after the analysis is completed, the conversion component converts the NCSI message into an Ethernet message.
Specifically, considering that in practical application, not only the BMC needs to send a message to the NCSI network card, but also the NCSI network card sends an NCSI message to the BMC, for example, the NCSI network card returns a configuration completion message to the BMC after configuration is completed, the conversion component of the present invention may further analyze and convert the NCSI message into an ethernet message, so that the BMC can recognize the message, thereby realizing the data transmission between the NCSI network card and the BMC.
Therefore, by the method, when the NCSI protocol is realized, a special BMC chip provided with a network card controller supporting the NCSI protocol is not needed, and the Ethernet message sent by the BMC forms an NCSI message format supporting the NCSI protocol after being analyzed and converted by the conversion component.
