Detailed Description
The scheme provided by the specification is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
At present, a BMC is integrated in a server motherboard, and after a BMC small system fails, the BMC may be reset by pressing a uid (unit identification light) button for a long time.
Based on this, the embodiments of the present specification pioneer a BMC online hot maintenance scheme that does not affect the service. The scheme comprises a hardware implementation part and a software implementation part. And in the hardware implementation part, the BMC is modularized, so that the BMC and the server mainboard are independently arranged and can be connected in a hot-pluggable manner. Specifically, the following introduces a scheme of a hardware implementation part from three points of view, namely, a BMC module, a server motherboard, and a server management system including the BMC module and the server motherboard.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a configuration of a BMC module according to an embodiment, where the BMC module is provided independently of a server motherboard. It should be noted that the BMC module disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure may refer to various management units for managing a server out of band, and the names of the management units include, but are not limited to, a server management board, a server management module, and a server management unit.
As shown in fig. 1, the BMC module 100 includes a first interface 110 for connecting with a server motherboard in a pluggable manner; it is to be understood that this connection may be a direct connection or an indirect connection via a connector; also, the number of the first interfaces 110 may be one or more; pluggable means that the BMC module is detachably connected with the server mainboard, and the BMC module can be inserted into or pulled out of the server mainboard.
The BMC module 100 further includes a power buffer starting circuit 120, which is used to support power protection when the BMC module 100 is hot-plugged with respect to a server motherboard. Specifically, when the BMC module 100 is inserted into or removed from the server motherboard, the power supply slow start circuit 120 disposed thereon can limit the transient surge current on the server power bus to a lower level, and simultaneously, the voltage of the whole server is not reduced, so that the damage to the server power supply in the plugging process is avoided, and thus, the hot plugging of the power supply is realized.
In one embodiment, the power soft start circuit 120 is implemented as a voltage slope type. In another embodiment, the power soft start circuit 120 is implemented as a current slope type. It should be noted that, the voltage slope type slow start circuit has a simple structure, but the change of the output current thereof is greatly influenced by the load impedance, and the change of the output current of the current slope type slow start circuit is not influenced by the load, but the circuit structure is complex, so that the power supply slow start circuit 120 can be realized as a voltage slope type or a current slope type according to the actual requirement. On the other hand, a slow starting circuit can be designed by using an MOS (metal oxide semiconductor) tube, the MOS tube has the characteristics of low on-resistance Rds and simple driving, and the slow starting circuit can be formed by adding a small number of components around the MOS tube; in general, PMOS is used for the positive power supply, and NMOS is used for the negative power supply.
It is to be understood that the power soft start circuit 120 is connected to the BMC module power supply circuit, and the BMC module further includes other conventional circuits such as a signal circuit.
Above, a description is given of an independent modular BMC.
Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a server motherboard according to an embodiment, and as shown in fig. 2, the server motherboard 200 includes a second interface 210 for pluggable connection with the independently-located BMC module 100; it should be noted that the connection may be a direct connection or an indirect connection via a connector; also, the number of the second interfaces 210 may be one or more.
Server motherboard 200 further includes a signal isolation circuit 220 for supporting signal isolation when BMC module 100 is hot-plugged with respect to server motherboard 200. Specifically, when BMC module 100 is plugged into server motherboard 200 or unplugged from server motherboard 200, the setting of signal isolation circuit 220 enables limiting the transient voltage on the signal line of the motherboard signal circuit to a reasonable level, thereby maintaining normal communication of the server. It should be noted that, the signal isolation circuit 220 needs to be adaptively designed according to the signal type (such as a high-speed signal or a low-speed signal) transmitted in the motherboard signal circuit of the server motherboard 200; further, the signal isolation circuit 220 may be implemented by, for example, serially connecting a buffer (buffer) in the signal circuit of the server main board 200.
It should be understood that the server motherboard also includes other conventional circuits such as motherboard power supply circuits.
The BMC module may further include other conventional circuits such as a signal circuit.
In the above, a server motherboard that can be connected to an independently installed BMC module in a pluggable manner is introduced.
Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a server management system according to an embodiment, and as shown in fig. 3, the server management system 300 includes the BMC module 100 and the server motherboard 200.
The BMC module 100 and the server motherboard 200 are connected to each other in a pluggable manner via the first interface 110 and the second interface 210 (the first interface and the second interface are not shown in fig. 3, see fig. 1 and fig. 2). In one embodiment, the server management system 300 further includes an inter-board connector 310 for connecting the BMC module 100 and the server motherboard 200 by connecting the first interface and the second interface respectively. In a specific embodiment, the board-to-board connector 310 includes a third interface and a fourth interface (not shown in fig. 3), the board-to-board connector 310 and the BMC module 100 are pluggable to each other through the first interface 100 and the third interface, and the board-to-board connector 310 and the server motherboard 200 are pluggable to each other through the second interface 210 and the fourth interface. As such, a pluggable connection between the BMC module 100 and the server motherboard 200 may be achieved using the board connector 310.
The BMC module 100 is provided with a power supply slow start circuit 120, and the slow start circuit 120 may conduct a BMC module power supply circuit and a motherboard power supply circuit, so as to implement power protection when the BMC module 100 performs hot plug with respect to the server motherboard 200.
Server motherboard 200 is provided with signal isolation circuit 220, and signal isolation circuit 220 may control the connection and disconnection of signals between server motherboard 200 and BMC module 100, thereby implementing signal isolation when BMC module 100 is hot-plugged with respect to server motherboard 200.
It should be noted that, for the description of the power soft start circuit 120 and the signal isolation circuit 220, reference may also be made to the related descriptions in the foregoing embodiments, which are not described herein again.
In the above, the hardware implementation part of the above scheme is introduced. By independently modularizing the BMC, a hardware circuit in charge of out-of-band management is integrated into a single board to realize modular design, and the server mainboard is adaptively designed, so that the BMC can be replaced without unpacking or powering down after a fault. Furthermore, it should be understood that fig. 1, fig. 2 and fig. 3 only schematically show the server motherboard, the BMC module and the server management system including both, and the shape and style of the server motherboard and the BMC module in practical application are not limited.
The software portion of the scheme may be implemented based on the design of the hardware portion. Fig. 4 shows a schematic diagram of interaction among multiple parties for implementing online thermal maintenance of a BMC module according to an embodiment, where the multiple parties include a BMC module that is disposed independently from a server motherboard, a BIOS (Basic Input Output System) that is solidified on a chip (typically, a ROM chip) in the server motherboard, and a CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device). It should be noted that the CPLD device includes related devices integrated in the BMC module and the server motherboard.
As shown in FIG. 4, the multi-party interaction includes the following steps:
and S410, monitoring abnormal operation of the BMC module by the CPLD device. In one embodiment, the CPLD device may determine whether the BMC module is abnormal by monitoring a heartbeat signal of the BMC module. Further, under the condition that the heartbeat signal sent by the BMC module according to the preset time interval (for example, 1s) is continuously monitored, the normal operation of the BMC module is judged; otherwise, judging that the BMC module operates abnormally under the condition that the heartbeat signal sent by the BMC module is not received after the preset time interval is exceeded.
In step S420, the CPLD device sends a first notification to the BIOS.
It should be noted that, in an embodiment, after step S410 and before step S420, the interaction process may further include step S412, where the CPLD device resets the BMC module, and further, after the BMC module is reset, if the CPLD device monitors that the BMC module still operates abnormally at step S414, the step S420 is executed, otherwise, the heartbeat signal of the BMC module continues to be detected.
The first notice indicates that the BMC module is abnormally operated. Based on this, in step S430, the BIOS system records an abnormal event of the BMC module according to the first notification. It should be appreciated that the BMC exception event may be categorized into an exception record that is stored in a log file of the BIOS system for subsequent invocation and analysis.
In this step, the BIOS system further performs fault isolation and alarm shielding for the BMC module according to the first notification. In one embodiment, the BIOS system may stop signal collection for the BMC module, filter fault signals and alarm signals for the BMC module, and thereby implement fault isolation and alarm shielding. In one embodiment, the signal isolation circuit is disposed in the server motherboard, and based on this, the BIOS system disconnects the signal circuit in the server motherboard from the BMC signal circuit by controlling the signal isolation circuit, so as to prevent a transient voltage from being generated in the signal circuit due to the subsequent removal of the BMC module, which may affect normal communication of the system.
On the other hand, in one embodiment, this step may further include: the BIOS system updates the state of the BMC module in the in-band management system to a fault and/or can be unplugged. It should be understood that the server in-band management refers to managing the server device under the service level os (operating system), and updating the state of the BMC module to be used for querying related services.
Further, in an embodiment, after the BIOS system performs fault isolation and/or alarm shielding for the BMC module, in step S440, an isolation completion flag is sent to the CPLD device. And, in step S450, the CPLD device prompts the maintainer that the BMC module can be removed according to the isolation completion flag. In one embodiment, the CPLD device prompts maintenance personnel that the BMC module can be removed by illuminating an indicator light. It is to be understood that the indicator light may assist in locating to the corresponding BMC module. In another embodiment, the CPLD device may also be prompted by voice. Therefore, maintenance personnel can replace the failed BMC module according to the prompt.
In another embodiment, the BIOS system updates the state of the BMC module in the in-band management system to be removable, and correspondingly, the CPLD device prompts a maintainer that the BMC module is removable after querying the BMC module in-band that the state is removable.
According to another embodiment, after step S450, the above interaction process may further include: and step S460, the CPLD device monitors that the BMC module normally operates. In one embodiment, the CPLD detects the heartbeat signal according to the in-place state of the BMC, and detects that the heartbeat signal is recovered to be normal, so that the normal operation of the BMC module is judged.
Further, the CPLD device sends a second notification to the BIOS system in step S470 to instruct the BMC module to resume normal operation, so that the BIOS system removes the fault isolation and/or the alarm shielding in step S480. In one embodiment, the BIOS system may resume signal acquisition to the BMC module, thereby removing fault isolation and alarm shielding. In one embodiment, the signal isolation circuit is disposed in the server motherboard, and based on this, the BIOS system restores the connection between the signal circuit in the server motherboard and the BMC signal circuit by controlling the signal isolation circuit, thereby restoring the normal communication related to the BMC module.
In the above, the software implementation part of the scheme is introduced. The operation state of the BMC module is monitored through the CPLD, when the BMC module is abnormal, the CPLD can inform the BIOS of fault isolation, and inform maintenance personnel of replacement operation of the BMC module after isolation is completed, and the system automatically recovers operation after replacement.
To sum up, for a hardware fault which cannot be solved by simply resetting the BMC, a series of processes of hot plugging the BMC module are realized by combining software and hardware disclosed in the embodiment of the specification, fault isolation is achieved, the BMC module can be quickly replaced without powering down a server, normal operation of the BMC module is automatically recovered after replacement, and no influence is caused on service operation.
