As shown in fig. 1, most servers have an ME (Intel Manager Engine, information processing unit) built in a PCH (platform controller Hub, platform control center) chip for acquiring temperature information of node devices in the server, for example, acquiring temperature information of a processor and a memory.

The BMC (Baseboard Management Controller, monitor) of the server may obtain temperature information from the ME and then readjust the fan speed based on the temperature information to facilitate cooling the server.

The inventors have found that when the ME fails, the BMC will adjust the fan to run at the fastest speed, thus easily causing a huge waste of power consumption. In order to repair the problem, when a fault is found manually, the power supply for supplying power to the ME is cut off, and then the power supply is switched on again to enable the ME to work normally. However, manual operation is complex, and the condition of untimely operation can often occur, and the problem of power consumption waste still exists.

Detailed Description

In view of the fact that when an ME fails, the fault is repaired manually, operation is complex, operation is not timely frequently performed, and power consumption waste still occurs, after research, the inventor provides a control system, a control method, a control device, a computing device and a storage medium of communication equipment.

For the purposes of making 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 clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 2, a schematic structural diagram of a communication device control system provided in the present disclosure is provided. Comprising a communication device 21, a monitor BMC22 of the communication device, a switching unit 23, and within which an ME211 is arranged, and a power interface 212 for transmitting an external power source, wherein,

the ME211 is configured to collect temperature information of node devices in the communication device 21 and provide the collected temperature information to the BMC22 in a working state;

the BMC22 is configured to send an off instruction to the switch unit 23 when it is determined that the ME211 has a fault 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 performs an off operation when the off instruction is received; and closing operation is carried out according to the closing instruction sent by the monitor;

a power interface 212 connected to the ME211 through the switching unit 23 for supplying power of an external power source to the ME211 as an operating power source in case that the switching unit 23 is closed.

In one embodiment, the switching unit 23 may be implemented as any switch that can be controlled based on an optoelectronic signal. Such as a MUX (multiplexer), also called a multiplexer or a multiplexing switch.

In one embodiment, for BMC22, when temperature information provided by ME211 cannot be obtained within a specified time period, it may be determined that ME211 has failed, or BMC22 to ME211 read temperature information, and when n times of all reads have failed, it may be determined that ME211 has failed.

For example, when BMC22 determines that ME211 has failed, it controls switch unit 23 to perform an off operation, disabling power supply interface 212 from supplying power to ME211, thereby achieving the effect of cutting off the circuit. Then, the BMC22 may control the switch unit 23 to perform a closing operation, so as to cause the power interface 212 to provide the power for the ME211 again, thereby achieving the effect of closing the circuit. Therefore, the whole process realizes the process of simulating the manual power supply plugging and unplugging, thereby effectively repairing faults. And the operation of plugging and unplugging the power supply is not needed to be carried out manually to the site.

In one embodiment, to facilitate timely closing of the switch unit 23, the BMC22 counts time after sending an open indication to the switch unit 23 and sends the close indication to the switch unit 23 when a 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 up the ME.

Of course, in addition to the foregoing BMC22 being capable of spontaneously controlling the on/off of the switch unit 23, the BMC22 may be controlled remotely by an administrator to achieve the purpose of controlling the switch unit 23.

For example, as shown in fig. 3, another control system of a communication device is provided in an embodiment of the disclosure. The communication device control system may further comprise a management platform 24 on the basis of the system shown in fig. 2. The management platform 24 may be implemented as a conventional terminal device, such as a smart phone, desktop computer, or 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 disconnection indication according to the following method: when it is determined that the ME211 fails, failure information of the ME211 is sent to the management platform 24, and the disconnection instruction is acquired from the management platform 24. In addition, a close indication of the BMC22 may also be obtained from the management platform 24.

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

For example, the management platform 24 may alert in audio form, such as shown in fig. 3, the management platform 24 may voice-play "× device ME failed", or, for example, as shown in fig. 4, the management platform 24 may interface alert, such as by highlighting "× device ME failed". When the alarm information is displayed, the alarm information can be displayed in the form of a bullet frame so as to draw attention of an administrator. The display screen can be displayed in a vivid color at the top position of the display screen, so that an administrator can notice the alarm information and can not influence the administrator to watch other display contents. Of course, other display modes are also suitable for the embodiments of the present disclosure, so long as an alarm can be issued so as to be known by an administrator.

In addition, in another embodiment, the audio alarm and the interface alarm can be combined, for example, the alarm information is output by the display at the same time of voice broadcasting.

Furthermore, in another embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the management platform 24 may also output the alarm information to the communication terminal 25 of the administrator. For example, as shown in table 1, different communication devices may be configured with different administrators. And may have an administrator scheduling table.

TABLE 1

According to table 1, the management platform 24 can find which communication device 21 corresponds to which administrator, and the time of the value of each administrator. Accordingly, when ME211 of the communication device fails, management platform 24 may find an administrator of the communication device 21 and send an alarm message to communication terminal 25 of the administrator so that the administrator may perform corresponding processing according to the service requirement.

For example, the administrator may perform a corresponding control operation based on the management platform 24 or the own communication terminal 25 to control the switching 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 operation.

Management operations will be described below using the management platform 24 as an example. As shown in fig. 6, the alert information may include description information of the communication device 21, which may include, for example, a communication device identification, a service to which the communication device relates, and a service maintenance department of the communication device. Thus, the administrator can know which communication device 21 has a problem with ME211 and can know that the relevant situation communicates with the relevant department to control opening and closing of switch unit 23. For example, communication with the advertising portion may be made to confirm whether ME211 can be powered off, and a turn-off instruction may be sent again to control switching unit 23 to turn off when power can be turned off. Thus, based on the management and maintenance of the management platform 24, operations that need to be performed can be confirmed by multi-department collaboration 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 perform operations. For example, the user operation interface shown in FIG. 7 may be entered by clicking "process" on the interface entry shown in FIG. 6. 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 operations in accordance with the operation items.

For example, a designated operation item for control of the switching unit 23 may be included in the displayed operation items. The specified operation items may be, for example, a first operation item for time-lapse cutting off the switching unit 23 shown in fig. 7, and a second operation item for immediately cutting off the switching unit 23. The differences between the first operation item and the second operation item are described below:

1) First operation item of delay cut-off:

to ensure proper operation of the service, ME211 may not immediately shut off the power of ME211 when ME211 fails. Therefore, the power supply of the ME211 can be turned off with a delay. Then, in order to facilitate the operation of the administrator, the administrator may set the off time of the off-switch unit 23 based on the first operation item that is time-lapse shut off, or may set a time period, i.e., how long after the setting, the control switch unit 23 performs the shut-off operation.

In one embodiment, management platform 24 may determine a shutdown time in response to a first user operation on the first operation item, and control the communication device 21 to shutdown prior to the shutdown time, and send the shutdown indication to the BMC22 to execute when the shutdown time is reached, so that BMC22 shuts down power to ME 211.

For example, the power interface 212 may be configured to send 24:00 to the BMC22 at night, and the BMC22 may immediately control the switch unit 23 to perform the off operation after receiving the off instruction at 24:00, so as to cut off the power provided by the power interface 212 to the ME 211.

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

For another example, the administrator may set to power off after 2 hours. The management platform 24 may start timing according to the setting, control the communication device 21 to be turned off before the timing reaches 2 hours, and then send an off instruction to the BMC22 to perform when the timing is finished, and immediately control the switching unit 23 to perform an off operation to stop providing the power to the ME211 after the BMC22 receives the off instruction.

Of course, in another embodiment, when the control switch unit 23 performs the off operation may be performed by the BMC22 according to the off instruction. May be implemented such that the management platform 24 determines a shutdown time in response to a first user operation on the first operation item, transmits a shutdown indication carrying the shutdown time to the BMC22, and controls the communication device 21 to shutdown before the shutdown time is reached.

At this time, since the off instruction carries the off time, the BMC22 may control the switching 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 time point (e.g., 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 point is reached. For another example, the off time may be a time period (e.g., 2 hours in the above embodiment), and the BMC22 may start counting when receiving the off instruction, and control the switching unit 23 to perform the off operation when determining that the counting is finished.

In this way, an administrator can remotely control switch unit 23 whenever and wherever to effect repair of ME211 failure. And, the administrator can set the execution time of the cut-off operation in advance, and schedule the management task in advance. The first operation item which is cut off in a delayed manner is beneficial to the manager to reasonably arrange management tasks, and the management burden of the manager is reduced.

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

as the name suggests, this second operation item causes the disconnect indication to be in effect immediately. The management platform 24, in response to the first user operation for the second operation item, sends the disconnection indication to the BMC22 so that the BMC22 immediately performs a control operation, and stops providing power to the ME.

Similarly, when the management platform 24 sends a close indication to the BMC22, the close indication may include an operation for delaying the closing, and an operation that is immediately effective, which will not be described in detail 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 the control switch unit 23 performs the closing operation and/or the opening operation. For example, what operation is performed by the switching unit 23 which controls which communication device 21 may be fed back so that the administrator knows the management progress.

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

Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a control method of the communication device, as shown in fig. 9, which is a schematic view of an application environment 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 terminal devices 930. Terminal device 930 includes, but is not limited to, a computer, notebook, smart phone, tablet, or other type of terminal. Server 920 is any server that is capable of providing information needed for interactive services through a network access. The terminal device 930 may perform information transmission and reception with the server 920 via the network 940, for example, download an upgrade package, an application module, and the like from the server 920. The server 920 may obtain contents required by the user through the database 910 and provide the terminal device 930. The terminal devices (e.g., 930_1 and 930_2 or 930_n) may also communicate with each other via the network 940.

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

Network 940 may be a broad network for information transfer 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 in this disclosure, but it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the single server 920, terminal device 930, and database 910 are shown to be intended to represent the operation of the aspects of this disclosure involving the terminal device, server, and database. The details of the individual terminal devices and individual servers and databases are provided for ease of illustration at least and not to imply limitations on the number, type, location, etc. of terminal devices and servers. It should be noted that the underlying concepts of the example embodiments of the present disclosure are not altered if additional modules are added to or individual modules are removed from the illustrated environment. In addition, although a bi-directional arrow from the database 910 to the server 920 is shown in fig. 9 for convenience of explanation, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the above-described data transmission and reception may be implemented through the network 940.

With the ME provided in the server shown in fig. 9 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 working power source when the switch unit is closed, and stop supplying the power of the external power source to the ME when the switch unit is opened; the ME is configured to collect temperature information of a node device in the communication device and provide the temperature information to a BMC in a working state, as shown in fig. 10, and is a flow chart 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: sending a disconnection instruction to the switch unit to enable the switch unit to conduct a disconnection operation under the condition that the ME is judged to have faults according to the temperature information provided by the ME;

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

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