Detailed Description

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

As shown in fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic terminal structure diagram of a hardware operating environment according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 1, the terminal may include: a processor 1001, e.g. a CPU, a network interface 1004, a user interface 1003, a memory 1005, a communication bus 1002. Wherein a communication bus 1002 is used to enable connective communication between these components. The user interface 1003 may include a Display screen (Display), an input unit such as a Keyboard (Keyboard), a mouse, etc., and the optional user interface 1003 may also include a standard wired interface, a wireless interface. The network interface 1004 may optionally include a standard wired interface, a wireless interface (e.g., WI-FI interface). The memory 1005 may be a high-speed RAM memory or a non-volatile memory (e.g., a magnetic disk memory). The memory 1005 may alternatively be a storage device separate from the processor 1001 described previously.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the terminal structure shown in fig. 1 is not intended to be limiting and may include more or fewer components than those shown, or some components may be combined, or a different arrangement of components.

As shown in fig. 1, the memory 1005, which is a kind of computer storage medium, may include therein a configuration program of an operating system, a network communication module, a user interface module, and a server BMC.

In the terminal shown in fig. 1, the processor 1001 may be configured to call a configuration program of the server BMC stored in the memory 1005, and perform the following operations:

sending a link layer distributed cooperation protocol LDCP broadcast message to a server Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) in a network where the configuration terminal is located, wherein the server BMC sends a unicast LDCP message to the configuration terminal when receiving the broadcast message;

receiving the unicast LDCP messages sent by each server BMC;

Alternatively, the processor 1001 may be configured to call a configuration program of the server BMC stored in the memory 1005, and perform the following operations:

In a modern data center, a large amount of servers are not left, and when the servers are deployed online in a large scale, configuration (such as initialization setting) of a BMC of the server is usually performed in a manual configuration mode, but the manual configuration mode is complicated to operate, low in efficiency and prone to errors, so that if a tool for modifying configuration of the BMC of the server in a large amount is available, great convenience is brought to online deployment of the server.

In the related art, the batch configuration of the server BMC is generally implemented by the following three methods.

Firstly, acquiring a corresponding relation between an MAC address of each server BMC and an IP, then acquiring a corresponding relation between the MAC address of each server BMC and a port of a switch connected with the server BMC, inquiring a server data table based on the corresponding relation between the MAC address of each server BMC and the IP and the corresponding relation between the MAC address of each server BMC and the port of the switch connected with the server BMC, determining preset configuration information of each server BMC, wherein the server data table comprises the preset configuration information of a plurality of server BMCs, and finally configuring the plurality of server BMCs in batches according to the preset configuration information of each server BMC.

Secondly, different users are combined into corresponding templates according to a certain strategy, then corresponding files are generated, the files are read in the installation process, and tasks are executed, so that the template-based method for allocating BMC users in batches in a differentiated mode is achieved, the efficiency of allocation of BMC users in the server installation process is improved, and meanwhile the requirement for difference of permissions of BMC users of different servers is met.

And thirdly, acquiring a first BMC configuration file, generating second abstract information according to the file content of the first BMC configuration file, generating a second BMC configuration file according to the file content of the first BMC configuration file and the second abstract information, and further sending the second BMC configuration file to the BMC of the server to be managed, so that the BMC of the server to be managed performs BMC configuration according to the second BMC configuration file after the second BMC configuration file is verified according to the second abstract information.

In the related art, the three technical solutions are all batch configuration performed on the server BMC on the basis that the IP address of the server BMC is already configured. The technical scheme is that batch configuration is modified through an intrinsic interface (IPMI interface) provided by the BMC. In the second and third technical schemes, the configuration file is used for modifying the server BMC configuration in batches, and the copying of the BMC configuration is realized in the form of the configuration file. However, these technical solutions all need to be performed after configuring the BMC IP address, and under the condition that the BMC IP address is not configured, the configuration of a large number of server BMC IP addresses still needs to be completed first, so that the batch configuration can be issued by using the above-mentioned several methods.

The factory default configuration of the IP address of the server BMC generally has three modes: the first method is that the user goes to the BIOS to perform configuration without any configuration, and this method requires the user to prepare additional tools such as a display and a keyboard, and then log in the server BIOS to configure the IP address, which requires many operation steps, takes a long time, and is very inconvenient. The second mode is configured to be a uniform static default IP address, which is simpler than the above one when the IP address is modified, when the server is on line, the server can log in the BMC to modify the IP address required to be configured by the user by only connecting a network cable to the BMC management port, but when a large number of servers are on line, IP conflict can be caused when all the servers are connected to the switch for configuration, and the configuration of a single device needs repeated pulling, which consumes time and labor, and has large repeated workload, so the mode is inconvenient to use. The last one is to configure a Dynamic IP acquisition based on DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), which solves the problems of the two previous methods, such as cumbersome operation, network conflict and duplicated work, but this method requires configuring a separate DHCP server, and if a server allocates an IP address by itself, it is difficult for a user to determine which server allocates which IP address. If a fixed IP address is assigned to a server, the MAC address of the server port needs to be checked additionally, and then configuration is performed on the DHCP server, which results in a cumbersome operation procedure.

Therefore, in each scheme of the related art, the batch configuration of the BMC depends on the pre-configured IP address. When the server BMC needs to be configured in batch, configuration of IP addresses of a large number of server BMCs needs to be completed first. This has the disadvantage that the server BMC configuration is inefficient.

In order to solve the above-mentioned defects in the related art, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for configuring a server BMC, which aims to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the related art and achieve the purpose of improving the efficiency of configuring the server BMC. In the invention, the configuration method of the server BMC modifies the BMC configuration in a mode of data link layer protocol communication, can be used when the server equipment is on line or after the server equipment is on line, and is also suitable for the production line to carry out the initialization configuration of batch servers.

Hereinafter, the configuration method of the server BMC according to the present invention is further explained by using specific embodiments.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 2, the configuration method of the server BMC includes the following steps:

step S1, sending a link layer distributed cooperation protocol LDCP broadcast message to a server Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) in a network where the configuration terminal is located, wherein the server BMC sends a unicast LDCP message to the configuration terminal when receiving the broadcast message;

s2, receiving the unicast LDCP messages sent by the server BMC;

s3, acquiring target configuration parameters corresponding to each server BMC, and generating a response message corresponding to the unicast LDCP message according to the target configuration parameters;

and S4, sending the response message to each server BMC so that the server BMC can carry out parameter configuration based on the response message.

In this embodiment, the configuration terminal refers to a terminal device provided with a batch configuration modification tool. The configuration terminal may perform data interaction with a server BMC in a network where the configuration terminal is located based on a Link-Layer Distributed Collaboration Protocol (LDCP).

It should be noted that the LDCP is an internally used custom Protocol, and provides a standard Link Layer cooperation manner, and may encapsulate a communication instruction and communication Data between devices in a TLV (Type/Length/Value) format, and then encapsulate the communication instruction and the communication Data in an LDCPDU (Link-Layer Distributed Collaboration Protocol Data Unit) and issue the encapsulated communication instruction and communication Data to other devices in a network. Referring to fig. 3, the format of the LDCP message is shown in fig. 3, where the LDCP message includes an MAC address of a receiving device port, that is, a destination MAC address, which is generally 6 bytes; the MAC address of the sending device port, i.e., the source MAC address, is generally 6 bytes; the data frame type identifier is typically 2 bytes. For example, the fixed value may be set to DC00, and the data unit LDCPDU is generally 46-1500 bytes; the FCS frame check sequence used to check the message is typically 4 bytes.

It can be understood that, in the present embodiment, the LDCPDU is a data unit encapsulated in the data portion of the LDCP message. TLVs are units constituting the LDCPDU, each of which represents a part of information. Before the LDCPDU is formed, the sending party firstly encapsulates the sending information into TLV format, and then a plurality of TLVs are combined into one LDCPDU which is encapsulated in the data part of the LDCP message for transmission.

In this embodiment, referring to fig. 4, the ldcpdu part is mainly divided into four parts: the system comprises a data header, an authentication ciphertext, an operation instruction and user-defined data. The authentication ciphertext is an optional component, and whether the field needs to be added to the LDCPDU can be selectively set.

In order to better understand the components of the LDCPDU given in this embodiment, examples of the contents of the data header fields in the LDCPDU are given, as shown in table 1; giving an example of the definition content of the operation instruction field, as shown in table 2; an example of the custom data TLV content definition is given as shown in table 3 and an example of the opcode field content as shown in table 4.

Table 1: data header field content examples

Table 2: example of operation instruction field content

Table 3: custom data field content examples

Optionally, the Operation Code information is contained in the Operation instruction TLV package with reference to the field contents of the Operation instruction TLV shown in table 2 above. In this embodiment, the operation code includes:

table 4: concrete opcode example

Operation code	Description of the invention
		BMC_CFG_DEV_LIST_REQ	Obtaining a list of server devices
BMC_CFG_DEV_LIST_RESP	Transmitting server device information
		BMC_CFG_BATCH_SET_REQ	Bulk modify configuration requests
BMC_CFG_BATCH_SET_RESP	Modifying configuration results in batches

In fig. 4, the type, length, and other fields corresponding to the header, the authentication ciphertext, the operation command, and the like may be set according to the protocol standard. The byte length of each field is referred to fig. 4. This embodiment is not described in detail herein.

Further, based on the above definition of the LDCP message, in this embodiment, the configuration terminal is further provided with an interactive interface, so that a user or another terminal can trigger the configuration terminal to start an equipment information collecting action. So as to collect the device information of each server BMC in the network through the configuration terminal. When the set terminal starts the device information collection action, the batch configuration modification tool deployed in the configuration terminal may first send an LDCP broadcast message to the server BMC in the network where the configuration terminal is located. The destination MAC address of the LDCP broadcast message may be set to FFFF-FFFF, and the source MAC address may be set to a MAC address of a configuration terminal, or a network port MAC address of the configuration terminal. Therefore, all servers BMC in the network where the configuration terminal is located can receive the LDCP broadcast message, and the LDCP broadcast message is responded.

It should be noted that, when the server BMC receives the LDCP broadcast message sent by the configuration terminal, it may obtain the current initial configuration parameter, and then encapsulate the initial configuration parameter into the unicast LDCP message responding to the LDCP broadcast message. And sending the unicast LDCP message to the configuration terminal in a unicast mode. After receiving the unicast LDCP message, the configuration terminal can determine the initial configuration parameters of the sending end (namely, the server BMC sending the unicast LDCP message) based on the unicast LDCP message.

Further, the configuration terminal may receive a unicast LDCP message sent by each server BMC, and then determine an internet access MAC address corresponding to each server BMC based on a unicast LDCP message source MAC address sent by each server BMC. And then the configuration terminal can also acquire the configuration of each server BMC performed by the user, namely, the target configuration parameters corresponding to each server BMC are acquired. And then generating a response message corresponding to the unicast LDCP message according to the target configuration parameters, and sending the response message to each server BMC so that the server BMC can perform parameter configuration based on the response message.

For example, after the configuration terminal receives the unicast LDCP message, the initial configuration parameters corresponding to each server BMC may be determined based on the unicast LDCP message. And then displaying the initial configuration parameters in an interactive interface. And then acquiring target configuration parameters corresponding to each server BMC based on the initial configuration parameters displayed in the interactive interface, and generating a response message corresponding to the unicast LDCP message according to the target configuration parameters. It can be understood that the destination address of the LDCP broadcast message is FFFF-FFFF, and the source address is the hardware address of the configuration terminal; the destination address of the unicast LDCP message is the hardware address of the configuration terminal, and the source address is the network port hardware address of the server BMC; the target address of the response message is the network port hardware address of the server BMC, and the source address is the hardware address of the configuration terminal.

In an optional implementation scheme, a user may directly modify, in the interactive interface, initial configuration information corresponding to each server BMC displayed in the interactive interface. The initial configuration information may include empty configuration information, that is, information that is not configured. For example, when the server BMC is not configured with an IP address, its corresponding IP address may be null. Therefore, when the user modifies the initial configuration information of the server BMC, the modification may include adding specific content corresponding to empty configuration information or modifying specific content corresponding to existing configuration information. When the user finishes modifying, the instruction for finishing modifying can be issued. For example, a certain contact may be provided in the interactive interface, and the configuration terminal determines that the instruction for completing the modification is received after the certain contact is detected to be triggered. Further, the modified initial configuration parameters may be used as the target configuration parameters when receiving the instruction to complete the modification. It will be appreciated that when the user modifies only a portion of the content in the initial configuration parameters, the unmodified content and the modified content together constitute the target configuration parameters.

In another optional embodiment, after the configuration terminal determines the initial configuration parameters corresponding to each server BMC, the initial configuration parameters corresponding to each server BMC may also be derived in a preset format. And the user can modify the initial configuration parameters in an off-line manner according to the exported file. After the initial configuration parameters are modified based on the offline file, the modified file can be uploaded to the configuration terminal. And enabling the configuration terminal to determine the target configuration parameters based on the files uploaded by the user.

Optionally, the server BMC may further send a modification result of the response to the configuration terminal when the modification is completed according to the target configuration parameter or the modification fails. So that the configuration terminal can determine whether the configuration has been completed based on the modification result.

It should be noted that, in the related art, the first solution must depend on the configured IP address of the server BMC. Under the condition that the IP address is not configured, the acquisition of the BMC information and the batch issuing of the configuration can be realized only after the IP address is acquired through a DHCP protocol, and the configuration information is all stored in the preset configuration information of the server data table. In the embodiment, batch issuing of server information acquisition and configuration is realized through the data link layer, the IP address of the server BMC does not need to be configured in advance, configuration information can be directly input on an interface by a user, and the configuration information can be uploaded by modifying after a configuration file is exported. Therefore, compared with the first technical scheme, the batch configuration method is simpler in steps and more convenient to configure.

The second related technical scheme is mainly used for configuring the user information, server information and corresponding user information need to be prepared in advance, a corresponding template is generated, and under the condition that an IP address is configured, the IPMI mode is used for configuring and issuing the user. The configuration that can be performed in this embodiment is not limited to user information, and the configuration can be modified without an IP address, the acquisition of server information is automatically acquired by a link layer protocol, and a user only needs to modify corresponding configuration information on a configuration tool interface or to re-upload the configuration after modifying derived configuration information, so that the configuration modification can be completed.

In the third related technical scheme, the configuration file exported from the source server is used as a template to generate a new configuration file, the new configuration file is respectively sent to the servers to be managed, and the new configuration file is analyzed by the servers to be managed and then takes effect. In the embodiment, communication is performed through a link layer, configuration information is analyzed by a configuration tool, the content to be modified is directly sent to a server for modification, data transmission is not required through a network IP in the modification operation, and the problem of modifying the configuration information in batches under the condition that an IP address is not configured can be solved.

In the technical scheme disclosed in this embodiment, a link layer distributed coordination protocol LDCP broadcast message is first sent to a server baseboard management controller BMC in a network where the configuration terminal is located, then the unicast LDCP message sent by each server BMC is received, so as to obtain a target configuration parameter corresponding to each server BMC, and a response message corresponding to the unicast LDCP message is generated according to the target configuration parameter and sent to each server BMC, so that the server BMC performs parameter configuration based on the response message. The batch configuration of the server BMC can be realized based on the LDCP, so that the defect that an IP address needs to be manually configured in advance when the server is configured in batch in the related technology is overcome, and the effect of improving the batch configuration efficiency of the server BMC is achieved.

Referring to fig. 5, in another embodiment of the configuration method of the server BMC of the present invention, the configuration method of the server BMC includes the steps of:

step S10, when receiving an LDCP broadcast message sent by a configuration terminal, acquiring an initial configuration parameter of the LDCP broadcast message;

step S20, generating a unicast LDCP message according to the initial configuration parameters, and sending the unicast LDCP message to the configuration terminal;

step S30, receiving a response message sent by the configuration terminal, and determining a target configuration parameter according to the response message;

and S40, performing parameter configuration according to the target configuration parameters.

In this embodiment, the configuration method of the server BMC is applied to a configuration method of a server BMC.

When the server BMC receives the LDCP broadcast message sent by the configuration terminal, it may obtain its initial configuration parameters. And determining the destination MAC address of the unicast LDCP message according to the source address of the LDCP broadcast message, and packaging the data unit of the unicast LDCP message according to the initial configuration parameters. And sending the unicast LDCP message to the configuration terminal in a unicast mode. After receiving the unicast LDCP message, the configuration terminal can determine the initial configuration parameters of the configuration terminal based on the unicast LDCP message.

Optionally, in some embodiments, after receiving the LDCP broadcast message, the authority information for configuring the terminal may be further determined based on an authentication ciphertext in the LDCP broadcast message. And when the configuration terminal part has the corresponding right, ignoring the LDCP broadcast message, otherwise, responding the LDCP broadcast message by sending the unicast LDCP message.

Further, after sending the unicast LDCP message to the configuration terminal, the method may further receive a response message of the unicast LDCP message sent by the configuration terminal, and determine the target configuration parameter according to the response message. And then parameter configuration is carried out according to the target configuration parameters.

Optionally, after the configuration is completed according to the target configuration parameters, the modified result may also be sent to the configuration terminal. Or when the modification fails, sending the modification result of the modification failure to the configuration terminal.

In the technical scheme disclosed in this embodiment, when receiving an LDCP broadcast message sent by a configuration terminal, an initial configuration parameter person of the LDCP is obtained, a unicast LDCP message is generated according to the initial configuration parameter, the unicast LDCP message is sent to the configuration terminal, a response message sent by the configuration terminal is received, a target configuration parameter is determined according to the response message, and then parameter configuration is performed according to the target configuration parameter. Thus, the effect of improving the configuration efficiency of the server BMC is achieved.

Referring to fig. 6, in a configuration process of a server BMC, a configuration terminal first sends a broadcast message, so that the server BMC receiving the broadcast message feeds back initial configuration parameters of the server BMC to the configuration terminal. The server BMC responds to the broadcast message in a unicast mode, so that after the configuration terminal receives the unicast message sent by each server BMC, the initial configuration parameters corresponding to each server BMC can be determined. And then after the initial configuration parameters are adjusted, generating unicast messages corresponding to each server BMC according to the adjusted parameters corresponding to each server BMC, namely the target configuration parameters. Namely the response message of the unicast message sent by the server BMC. And then the configuration terminal can send a response message corresponding to each server BMC in batch so that the server BMC can determine a target configuration parameter based on the response message and modify the parameter based on the target configuration parameter. When the server BMC completes modification or fails to modify or exceeds the time limit, the corresponding modification result is fed back to the configuration terminal in a unicast mode through a message.
