step 101: and receiving first running state data obtained by monitoring the server from the substrate management controller.

The Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) is a Baseboard management platform, and does not depend on other hardware (such as a CPU (central processing Unit) and a memory) on a management System, or on a BIOS (Basic Input System, basic Output and Input System) and an OS (Operating System, OS for short). The baseboard management controller is connected with each functional module in the server, monitors the running state of each functional module in real time, and can perform corresponding adjustment work to ensure that the server is in a healthy state.

The master substrate management controller is a normal substrate management controller and has functions of normal monitoring, complex logic control, management, log recording and the like, while the slave substrate management controller is a simplified substrate management controller, partial functions of a monitoring server, an instruction execution function and the like in the BMC are reserved, and other functions such as complex logic control, management, log recording and the like are removed, so that the cost of the slave substrate management controller is reduced.

The master baseboard management controller is in communication connection with the slave baseboard management controllers in the plurality of servers at the same time, for example, the communication connection may be achieved through a wireless network or a wired network, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

The first operation status data of the server may include temperature (graphics card temperature, CPU temperature, memory temperature, and the like), voltage, current, computational resource occupancy, memory occupancy, and the like, and the slave bmc may specifically monitor the first operation status data of the server through a sensor (e.g., a temperature sensor) and/or a monitoring module (e.g., a voltage detection module).

Specifically, the slave baseboard management controller installed in the server monitors the operation state of the server through the sensor and/or the monitoring module at every preset time interval, so as to obtain first operation state data such as temperature, voltage, current, computing resource occupancy rate and memory occupancy rate, and sends the first operation state data to the master baseboard management controller, so that the master baseboard management controller manages the server.

Step 102: and sending a first management instruction to the slave baseboard management controller so that the slave baseboard management controller executes management operation aiming at the server according to the first management instruction.

The first management instruction comprises a first management instruction triggered based on the first running state data and an acquired first management instruction for the server.

The Management instruction may include an IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) Management instruction, such as a command to set a class: ipmitool power on, ipmitool power off, ipmitool chassis policy always-on, ipmitool chassis policy always-off; query class commands: ipomitool sdr list, ipmitool lan print 1; remote management: KVM (kernel-based virtual machine) login, and the like.

Specifically, there are two cases where the master baseboard management controller sends a first management instruction to the slave baseboard management controller, the first case is that after the master baseboard management controller receives first operation state data about the server sent by the slave baseboard management controller, the master baseboard management controller triggers the first management instruction according to the first operation state data, sends the first management instruction to the slave baseboard management controller, and the slave baseboard management controller performs a management operation for the server according to the first management instruction.

The second method is that the master baseboard management controller obtains a first management instruction for the server initiated by a worker, if the worker directly operates the device where the master baseboard management controller is located to initiate the first management instruction, or the worker remotely initiates the first management instruction to the device where the master baseboard management controller is located through the mobile terminal, after obtaining the first management instruction, the master baseboard management controller sends the first management instruction to the slave baseboard management controller in the corresponding server, and the slave baseboard management controller executes the management operation for the server according to the first management instruction.

In the embodiment of the invention, a simplified slave base plate management controller is configured in a server, the slave base plate management controller is used for monitoring first running state data of the server and executing a first management instruction, other complex logic control, management and other functions are completed by a master base plate management controller, and the monitoring and management of a plurality of servers are realized by matching a normal master base plate management controller with a plurality of simplified slave base plate management controllers.

On the basis of the above-described embodiment, a modified embodiment of the above-described embodiment is proposed, and it is to be noted herein that, in order to make the description brief, only the differences from the above-described embodiment are described in the modified embodiment.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, further comprising: monitoring second operation state data of equipment where the main base plate management controller is located; executing management operation aiming at the equipment where the main substrate management controller is located according to a second management instruction; the second management instruction comprises a second management instruction triggered based on the second running state data and an acquired second management instruction for the device where the main substrate management controller is located.

The master substrate management controller can manage the server where the slave master substrate management controller is located through the slave substrate management controller, and can also directly monitor, control and manage the equipment where the master substrate management controller is located.

The device where the main substrate management controller is located may be a server, a mobile terminal, and the like, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

Specifically, the master baseboard management controller monitors the operation state of the device where the master baseboard management controller is located through the sensor and the monitoring module at preset intervals, so that second operation state data such as temperature, voltage, current, resource occupancy rate and memory occupancy rate are obtained.

When the second operation state data is obtained, a second management instruction is triggered based on the second operation state data, or a second management instruction initiated by a worker and directed to the device where the main substrate management controller is located is obtained, for example, the worker directly operates the device where the main substrate management controller is located to initiate the second management instruction, or the worker remotely initiates the second management instruction. Then, the main substrate management controller executes management operation for the device where the main substrate management controller is located according to the second management instruction.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the master baseboard management controller is configured in a terminal device, and the master baseboard management controller in the terminal device is communicatively connected to the slave baseboard management controller in the server through a switch; or, the server is a rack server, the master baseboard management controller is configured on a master baseboard management controller chip on the rack, and the master baseboard management controller chip is in communication connection with the slave baseboard management controller in the rack server through a switch.

Specifically, the main board management controller may be configured in the terminal device or on a main board management controller chip on the rack server rack. As an example, referring to fig. 2, a schematic structural diagram of a master baseboard management controller configured in a terminal device according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, where a fat BMC (master baseboard management controller) is configured in a PC (Personal Computer) Computer, a plurality of thin BCMs (slave baseboard management controllers) are respectively configured in a plurality of servers, and the fat BMC and the thin BCM realize local area network connection through a switch, so as to realize monitoring, control and management of the plurality of servers through cooperation of the fat BMC and the thin BCM.

Referring to fig. 3, a schematic structural diagram of a host board management controller configured on a rack according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The fat BMC can be configured on a main substrate management controller chip on the rack, the thin BCMs are configured in the servers respectively, and the fat BMC and the thin BCMs are connected through a local area network through the switch, so that the fat BMC and the thin BCMs are matched to monitor, control and manage the servers.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the sending the first management instruction to the slave baseboard management controller to cause the slave baseboard management controller to execute a management operation for the server according to the first management instruction includes: when the server is determined to be abnormal according to the first running state data, a first management instruction is generated based on the abnormality and is sent to the slave baseboard management controller in the server, so that the slave baseboard management controller controls a functional module in the server to process the abnormality according to the first management instruction.

Specifically, after the main baseboard management controller receives first operation state data about the server sent from the baseboard management controller, whether the first operation state data are normal or not is detected, and if the main baseboard management controller determines that data abnormality exists in the first operation state data, a first management instruction is generated based on the abnormality. For example, when the temperature of the CPU is greater than a preset temperature threshold, the voltage is greater than a preset voltage threshold, the occupancy rate of the computing resource is greater than a preset resource occupancy threshold, or the occupancy rate of the memory is greater than a preset memory occupancy threshold, it may be determined that data abnormality exists in the first operating state data, and a corresponding first management instruction is triggered based on the abnormal data, where the first management instruction is used to improve the abnormality.

And then sending the first management instruction to the slave baseboard management controller, and controlling the functional module in the server to process the abnormity according to the first management instruction by the slave baseboard management controller. For example, the functional modules of the server may include a power module, a storage module, a fan module, and the like, and the slave bmc controls the functional modules in the server according to the first management instruction, so as to improve the abnormality through the functional modules.

Taking the monitor of the display card temperature as an example, the master baseboard management controller monitors the display card temperature in all servers in a circulating manner. For the temperature of the display card on the equipment where the master base plate management controller is located, the master base plate management controller can directly call a program to read, for the temperature of the display card of the server corresponding to the slave base plate management controller managed by the master base plate management controller, the slave base plate management controller can monitor the server where the slave base plate management controller is located, the temperature of the display card in the server is obtained, and the temperature of the display card is fed back to the master base plate management controller.

The temperature data of all server display cards has just been mastered to main substrate management controller, can judge the health status of each server display card operation according to these temperature data, when the temperature of discovery display card is greater than predetermined temperature threshold, confirm that the display card temperature appears unusually this moment, trigger management instruction, if appear unusual display card when being located the equipment at main substrate management controller place, main substrate management controller directly opens the fan module or increase fan module's the rotational speed on the equipment at place based on management instruction, in order to cool down the display card, the realization improves unusually. If the abnormal display card is located in the server, the master substrate management controller sends the management instruction to the corresponding slave substrate management controller, and the slave substrate management controller can start a fan module of the server or increase the rotating speed of the fan module according to the management instruction so as to cool the display card. In addition, the principle of the memory temperature monitoring and the CPU temperature monitoring is the same as the above.

In the above embodiment, the master baseboard management controller and the slave baseboard management controller are used to monitor the operating state data of the server, and when it is determined that data abnormality exists in the operating state data, a management instruction corresponding to the abnormality is triggered, and then the function module in the server is controlled based on the management instruction, so that the abnormality is improved, and normal operation of the server is ensured.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, after the determining that the server operates abnormally according to the first operation state data, the method further includes: and recording the abnormality through a fault log, and sending an alarm to a worker.

Specifically, when the server is determined to be abnormally operated according to the first operation state data, the abnormal operation is recorded through the fault log, so that a worker can search and analyze the position and the reason of the abnormal/fault based on the fault log, and meanwhile, when the server is determined to be abnormally operated, an alarm can be output through the equipment where the main base board management controller is located, for example, the equipment where the main base board management controller is located gives an audible and visual prompt, or when the worker is not beside the equipment where the main base board management controller is located, the alarm and the abnormal operation are sent to a mobile terminal (such as a mobile phone and a PAD) of the worker, so that the worker can conveniently maintain the server.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the sending the first management instruction to the slave baseboard management controller to cause the slave baseboard management controller to execute a management operation for the server according to the first management instruction includes: acquiring a first management instruction aiming at the server; and sending the first management instruction to the slave baseboard management controller in the server so that the slave baseboard management controller controls the functional module in the server according to the first management instruction.

Specifically, the master baseboard management controller may directly obtain a first management instruction initiated by a worker, for example, the worker directly operates a device where the master baseboard management controller is located to initiate the first management instruction, or the worker remotely initiates the first management instruction to the device where the master baseboard management controller is located through a mobile terminal, after obtaining the first management instruction, the master baseboard management controller sends the first management instruction to a slave baseboard management controller in a corresponding server, and the slave baseboard management controller controls a function module in the server according to the first management instruction.

Taking the example that the worker starts all the servers through the management tool ipmitool, the worker initiates an ipmitool power on instruction to the main substrate management controller to start all the servers. After receiving the management instruction, the master baseboard management controller starts up the equipment, then forwards the management instruction to each slave baseboard management controller, and after receiving the management instruction, the slave baseboard management controller starts up the server.

In addition, the worker can also start a single server through the management tool ipmitool, for example, the worker initiates a command of ipmitool power on id = BMC number to the main baseboard management controller, and the main baseboard management controller confirms which baseboard management controller the worker wants to operate according to the parameter of 'id = BMC number'; if the master base plate management controller is self-contained, the server of the master base plate management controller is directly started; if the management command is the slave baseboard management controller, the management command is forwarded to the slave baseboard management controller, and the slave baseboard management controller receives the management command and then starts up a server of the slave baseboard management controller.

Furthermore, the way in which the staff closes all or a single server via the administration tool ipmitool is similar to that described above.

The working personnel can also check all sensor data of a single baseboard management controller through the management tool ipmitool, if the working personnel initiates an 'ipmitool sdr list id = BMC number' instruction to the main baseboard management controller, and the main baseboard management controller confirms which baseboard management controller the working personnel wants to operate according to the parameter of 'id = BMC number'; if the master base plate management controller is the master base plate management controller, returning the sensor data of the master base plate management controller; if the slave baseboard management controller is used, the sensor data corresponding to the slave baseboard management controller is returned.

In the above embodiment, through the cooperation of the master substrate management controller and the slave substrate management controller, the working personnel can monitor and control all the servers through the management instructions, and the working personnel can manage the servers conveniently.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the first operation status data obtained by monitoring the server from the baseboard management controller, the method further includes: and storing the first operation state data.

Specifically, after the master baseboard management controller receives first operating state data obtained from the baseboard management controller monitoring server, the first operating state data is cached locally, and therefore working personnel can inquire the operating state data of the server conveniently.

For a better understanding of embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to fig. 4 for an exemplary illustration.

Simplifying the hardware configuration of the traditional BMC, reserving partial functions such as monitoring in the traditional BMC software, and removing other software functions. The lean-BMC is code that only executes the monitoring server and executes management instructions, leaving complex logic control and management functions to the fat BMC.

Step 402, design fat BMC (master baseboard management controller). The system has the functions of hardware configuration of the traditional BMC, logic control in BMC software, log recording and the like. So-called fat BMC, which is actually software. The fat BMC may run on a PC computer or be configured on a BMC chip.

At step 403, the lean BMC is managed by the fat BMC, which is configured to form a local area network via Ethernet.

At step 404, the fat BMC may continuously monitor all server-related key component data, such as temperature, voltage, current, etc. For the server data of the fat BMC, the fat BMC can directly collect the server data; for data of the lean-BMC server, the fat-BMC issues an instruction to the lean-BMC requesting the lean-BMC to collect relevant data, and the lean-BMC collects data of its own server after receiving the request and feeds back the data to the fat-BMC.

A worker may manage either lean-BMC alone or lean-BMC together with the fat-BMC, step 405. The management command is delivered by the fat BMC to the thinning-BMC via the ethernet, such as to turn on a healthy light.
