The BMC (monitor) of the server may obtain the temperature information from the ME, and then adjust the rotation speed of the fan according to the temperature information to cool the server.

The inventor finds that when the ME fails, the BMC will adjust the fan to operate at the fastest speed, which is likely to cause huge power consumption waste.

Detailed Description

In view of the problems that when an ME fails, the operation is complex, and the operation is not timely, and power consumption is still wasted, the present inventors have developed a control system, a method, an apparatus, a computing device, and a storage medium for a communication device after research.

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below in detail and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a communication device control system provided by the present disclosure. Comprising a communication device 21, a monitor BMC22 of the communication device, a switching unit 23, and an ME211 provided therein, and a power interface 212 for transmitting an external power, wherein,

the ME211 is configured to, in an operating state, acquire temperature information of node devices in the communication device 21, and provide the acquired temperature information to the BMC 22;

the BMC22 is configured to send a disconnection instruction to the switch unit 23 when determining that the ME211 fails according to the temperature information provided by the ME 211; and sends a closing instruction to the switching unit 23 when a closing condition is satisfied;

the switch unit 23, upon receiving the off instruction, performs an off operation; closing operation is carried out according to a closing instruction sent by the monitor;

and a power interface 212, connected to the ME211 through the switch unit 23, for providing power of an external power source to the ME211 as an operating power source when the switch unit 23 is closed.

In one embodiment, the switch unit 23 may be implemented as any switch controllable based on a photoelectric signal. Such as a MUX (multiplexer, data selector, also called multiplexer or multiplexer).

In one embodiment, for BMC22, it may be determined that ME211 fails when the temperature information provided by ME211 is not acquired within a specified time period, or that temperature information is read from BMC22 to ME211, and it may be determined that ME211 fails when the read fails n times.

For example, when the BMC22 determines that the ME211 has a fault, the control switch unit 23 performs an open operation, so that the power interface 212 cannot provide power to the ME211, thereby achieving the effect of cutting off the circuit. The BMC22 may then control the switch unit 23 to close, so as to enable the power interface 212 to supply power to the ME211 again, thereby achieving the effect of closing the circuit. Therefore, the whole process realizes the process of simulating manual plugging and unplugging of the power supply, so that the fault can be effectively repaired. And the operation of plugging and unplugging the power supply is not required to be implemented on site manually.

In one embodiment, to facilitate timely closing of the switch unit 23, the BMC22 counts the time after sending the open indication to the switch unit 23 and sends the close indication to the switch unit 23 when the specified duration is reached. That is, the BMC may automatically control the switch unit to be closed in time based on the timing result, and complete the operation of powering on the ME.

Of course, in addition to the aforementioned spontaneous control of the switch unit 23 by the BMC22, the switch unit 23 may be controlled by an administrator via remote control of the BMC 22.

For example, as shown in fig. 3, another control system of a communication device is provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. On the basis of the system shown in fig. 2, the communication device control system may further include a management platform 24. The management platform 24 may be implemented as a general terminal device, such as a smart phone, a desktop computer, or a notebook computer. The management platform may also be implemented as a server.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 3, the BMC22 is configured to obtain the disconnect indication according to the following method: and when the ME211 is judged to have a fault, sending the fault information of the ME211 to the management platform 24, and obtaining the disconnection instruction from the management platform 24. In addition, a closed indication for BMC22 may also be obtained from the management platform 24.

The management platform 24 performs an alarm operation after receiving the fault information, and sends the disconnection indication to the BMC22 in response to a first user operation; and sending the close indication to the BMC22 in response to a second user action.

For example, management platform 24 may alert in audio form, e.g., management platform 24 may play a voice message ". times.equipment ME has failed" as shown in fig. 3, or management platform 24 may alert in an interface, e.g., display ". times.equipment ME has failed" in a highlighted display, as shown in fig. 4. When the alarm information is displayed, the alarm information can be displayed in a bullet frame mode so as to attract the attention of an administrator. The warning information can be displayed in a vivid color at the top of the display screen, so that the administrator can notice the warning information and cannot be influenced to watch other display contents. Of course, other display modes are also applicable to the embodiment of the present disclosure as long as an alarm can be given so as to be convenient for an administrator to know.

In addition, in another embodiment, an audio alarm and an interface alarm can be combined, for example, a voice broadcast is performed, and the display simultaneously outputs alarm information.

Still further, in another embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the management platform 24 may also output alarm information to the communication terminal 25 of the administrator. For example, as shown in table 1, different communication devices may configure different administrators. And may have an administrator shift table.

TABLE 1

According to table 1, the management platform 24 can find out which communication device 21 corresponds to which administrator and the current time of each administrator. Therefore, when the ME211 of the communication device fails, the management platform 24 may find the administrator of the communication device 21 and send the warning information to the communication terminal 25 of the administrator, so that the administrator performs corresponding processing according to the service requirement.

For example, the administrator may perform a corresponding control operation based on the management platform 24 or on the own communication terminal 25 so as to control the switch unit 23. For example, the management platform 24 or the communication terminal 25 may send the disconnection indication to the BMC22 in response to a first user operation; the close indication may also be sent to the BMC22 in response to a second user action.

The following describes the management operation by taking the management platform 24 as an example. As shown in fig. 6, the alarm information may include description information of the communication device 21, which may include, for example, an identifier of the communication device, a service related to the communication device, and a service maintenance department of the communication device. Thus, the administrator can know which ME211 of the communication device 21 has a problem, and can know the relevant situation to communicate with the relevant department to control the opening and closing of the switch unit 23. For example, communication with the advertisement unit is possible to confirm whether or not the ME211 can be powered off, and when the power can be off, an off instruction is sent to control the switch unit 23 to be turned off. Thus, based on the management and maintenance of the management platform 24, operations that need to be performed can be confirmed in cooperation with a plurality of departments to avoid affecting the work of the relevant departments.

For example, as shown in fig. 7, the management platform is further configured to display a user operation interface for an administrator to operate. For example, based on the interface entry shown in fig. 6, click "process" to enter the user operation interface shown in fig. 7. In fig. 7, the user operation interface is used to display at least one operation item corresponding to the communication device 21. The administrator can perform management operation according to the operation items.

For example, the displayed operation items may include a specified operation item for control of the switch unit 23. The specified operation items may be, for example, a first operation item for time-delay turning off the switch unit 23 shown in fig. 7, and a second operation item for immediately turning off the switch unit 23. The following description is made of differences between the first operation item and the second operation item:

1) first operation item of time delay cut-off:

to ensure proper operation of the service, the ME211 may not be powered off immediately upon failure of the ME 211. Thus, the power to ME211 may be shut off with a delay. Then, in order to facilitate the administrator's operation, the administrator can set the off time of the off switch unit 23 based on the first operation item of the delay cut and also can set the time-counting period, that is, how long the time is set before controlling the switch unit 23 to perform the cut-off operation.

In one embodiment, the management platform 24 may determine a cut-off time in response to the first user operation on the first operation item, control the communication device 21 to be powered off before the cut-off time, and send the cut-off indication to the BMC22 to be executed when the cut-off time is reached, so that the BMC22 cuts off the power of the ME 211.

For example, 24:00 pm may be set to be sent to BMC22, and BMC22 may control switch unit 23 to switch off immediately after 24:00 receives the off instruction, so as to cut off the power supplied from power interface 212 to ME 211.

Of course, in order to ensure the security of the communication device, the management platform 24 may control the communication device 21 to be powered off before the cut-off time arrives. And then sends a disconnect indication to the BMC22 for execution.

For another example, the administrator may set the power off after 2 hours. The management platform 24 may start timing according to the setting, control the communication device 21 to shut down before the timing reaches 2 hours, and then send a disconnection instruction to the BMC22 to execute the timing, and after the BMC22 receives the disconnection instruction, immediately control the switch unit 23 to perform a disconnection operation to stop supplying power to the ME 211.

Of course, in another embodiment, when to control the switch unit 23 to perform the turn-off operation may be performed by the BMC22 according to the turn-off indication. It may be implemented that the management platform 24 determines a cut-off time and sends a disconnection indication carrying the cut-off time to the BMC22 in response to a first user operation on the first operation item, and controls the communication device 21 to be powered off before the cut-off time is reached.

At this time, since the off instruction carries the off time, the BMC22 may control the switch unit 23 to perform the off operation when the off time is reached after receiving the off instruction carrying the off time.

As described above, the off time may be a point of time (24: 00 in the above embodiment), and the BMC22 may control the switching unit 23 to perform the off operation when it is determined that the off time is reached. For another example, the turn-off time may be a timed period (2 hours in the above embodiment), and the BMC22 may start timing when receiving the turn-off instruction, and control the switch unit 23 to perform the turn-off operation when determining that the timing is finished.

In this way, the administrator can remotely control the switch unit 23 to repair the ME211 failure whenever and wherever possible. And, the administrator can set the execution time of the cutting-off operation in advance and arrange the management task in advance. The first operation item delayed to be cut off is helpful for the administrator to reasonably arrange the management task, and the management burden of the administrator is relieved.

1) A second operation item that is immediately switched off;

this second operational item, as the name implies, causes the disconnection indication to take effect immediately. The management platform 24 responds to the first user operation aiming at the second operation item, and then sends the disconnection indication to the BMC22 to enable the BMC22 to immediately execute control operation and stop providing power for the ME.

Similarly, when the close indication is sent to the BMC22 by the management platform 24, the operation items of the close indication may include an operation item for delaying the close and an operation item for immediately taking effect, which will not be described herein.

In another embodiment, to facilitate understanding of the control result, the BMC22 may feed back the operation result to the management platform 24 after controlling the switch unit 23 to perform the closing operation and/or the opening operation. For example, it is possible to feed back when to control which operation is performed by the switching unit 23 of which communication device 21, so that the administrator can know the management progress.

In one embodiment, such as shown in fig. 8, BMC22 communicates with ME211 via the SMbus protocol, and BMC22 implements control of switch unit 23 via GPIO when temperature information provided by ME211 is not read for a period of time. For example, a control signal (e.g., a high level is supplied) is sent to the switching unit 23 so that the switching unit 23 performs an opening operation. When it is desired to close the switch, BMC22 provides a low level to switch unit 23 to cause switch unit 23 to perform a closing operation to re-supply ME 211.

Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a control method of a communication device, as shown in fig. 9, which is an application environment schematic diagram of the method. The application environment may include, for example, a database 910, a server 920, a BMC921 of the server 920, a management platform 922, and a plurality of end devices 930. Terminal devices 930 include, but are not limited to, computers, laptops, smart phones, tablets, or other types of terminals. The server 920 is any server that can provide information required for an interactive service through a network. Terminal device 930 may communicate information with server 920 via network 940, such as downloading upgrade packages, application modules, and the like from server 920. The server 920 may acquire contents desired by the user through the database 910 and provide the terminal device 930. Terminal devices (e.g., between 930_1 and 930_2 or 930_ N) may also communicate with each other via network 940.

An administrator may access management platform 922 through terminal device 930 after authorization to implement management of the server.

Network 940 may be a network used for information transfer in a broad sense and may include one or more communication networks such as a wireless communication network, the internet, a private network, a local area network, a metropolitan area network, a wide area network, or a cellular data network, among others.

Only a single server or terminal device is detailed in the description of the present disclosure, but it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the single server 920, terminal device 930, and database 910 shown are intended to represent that the technical aspects of the present disclosure relate to the operation of the terminal device, server, and database. The detailed description of a single terminal device and a single server and database is for convenience of description at least and does not imply limitations on the number, types, or locations of terminal devices and servers. It should be noted that the underlying concepts of the example embodiments of the present disclosure may not be altered if additional modules are added or removed from the illustrated environments. In addition, although fig. 9 shows a bidirectional arrow from the database 910 to the server 920 for convenience of description, it is understood by those skilled in the art that the above-described data transmission and reception may also be realized through the network 940.

The server shown in fig. 9 is provided with an ME and a power interface for transmitting an external power; as described above, the power interface is connected to the ME through the switch unit, and is configured to supply the power of the external power source to the ME as the operating power source when the switch unit is closed, and to stop supplying the power of the external power source to the ME when the switch unit is open; the ME is configured to collect temperature information of the node device in the communication device and provide the temperature information to the BMC in a working state, and as shown in fig. 10, is a flowchart of a control method of the communication device executed by the BMC, and includes the following steps:

step 1001: receiving the temperature information provided by the ME;

step 1002: under the condition that the ME is judged to have a fault according to the temperature information provided by the ME, sending a disconnection instruction to the switch unit to enable the switch unit to perform disconnection operation;

step 1003: and when a closing condition is met, sending a closing instruction to the switch unit so as to enable the switch unit to perform closing operation.

In one embodiment, the BMC may control the switch unit to perform the closing operation by itself, and the closing condition includes: and determining that the timing reaches a specified time length. That is, the BMC starts timing after sending an off instruction to the switch unit, and when the designated time length is reached, the BMC controls the switch unit to perform a closing operation to turn on the power supply for the ME.
