Detailed Description

In order that those skilled in the art will better understand the disclosure, the following detailed description will be given with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that the embodiments described are only a few embodiments of the present application and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart of a server bare metal management method in an embodiment of the present application, where the method may be applied to a server management device, and the method includes the following steps:

s101, establishing an equipment mapping relation table corresponding to bare computers by using the baseboard management controllers of the bare computers in the server cluster.

Among them, a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) is used.

A server cluster is a cluster comprising a plurality of servers, each server having a baseboard management controller.

In the application, the device mapping relation table corresponding to the bare computers can be established based on the baseboard management controller of each bare computer in the server cluster. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the bare metal is the server that constitutes the server cluster, and the server is not yet filled with the operating system.

The device mapping relationship table is a table constructed by uniquely determining the mapping relationship corresponding to each bare machine in the server cluster. Specifically, the device mapping relationship table may specifically be a corresponding relationship between the SN information and the IP address of each bare chip, or may also be a corresponding relationship between the SN information, the IP address, and a physical bare chip. The physical bare machine referred to in the embodiments of the present application means that the corresponding physical characteristics of the bare machine are specified, for example, the specific location of the logic specifically stored in the rack is specified.

The device mapping relationship table is constructed based on the basic management controller, that is, in actual operation, the information required for constructing the device mapping relationship is acquired based on the BMC network. In particular, for how to obtain the information based on the BMC network, specific reference may be made to specific communication establishment and use of the BMC network, and also to specific implementation steps provided in a specific embodiment described below.

In a specific embodiment of the present application, establishing an apparatus mapping relationship table corresponding to bare computers by using a baseboard management controller of each bare computer in a server cluster includes:

step one, acquiring an IP address of each bare computer from a DHCP server;

establishing communication connection with each bare computer by using the IP address through the substrate management controller;

acquiring SN information of each bare machine by utilizing communication connection;

and step four, establishing an equipment mapping relation table by utilizing the SN information and the IP address.

For convenience of description, the above four steps will be described in combination.

The DHCP server can assign an IP address to the bare metal. Thus, the IP address of each bare metal can be acquired from the DHCP server.

Specifically, the step one of acquiring the IP address of each bare metal from the DHCP server includes:

step 1, after a server cluster is connected to a local area network, allocating an IP address to each bare computer by using a DHCP server in the local area network;

and 2, communicating with a DHCP server to acquire an IP address.

That is, the server cluster may be first physically connected to a local area network, and then a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server within the local area network may allocate an IP address to each bare die. Specifically, how the DHCP server allocates an IP address to each bare cell in the server cluster may specifically refer to a dynamic host configuration protocol, which is not described herein any more.

The management equipment can acquire the IP address of each bare computer by interacting with the DHCP server.

The bare computer is provided with a baseboard management controller, and the baseboard management controller can communicate with the outside, so that the baseboard management controller can establish communication connection with the bare computer.

Preferably, in view of security issues, in one embodiment of the present application, the identity of the operator may also be verified, and in case it is determined that the verification passes, the communication connection is established. That is, the second step of establishing a communication connection with each bare metal via the baseboard management controller by using the IP address includes:

step 1, outputting login prompt information on a display interface;

and 2, acquiring login information, and establishing communication connection with a corresponding substrate management controller under the condition that the login information is correct.

That is, login prompt information may be output on the display interface of the management apparatus so that the operator inputs login information, such as a user name and a password. After the login information is obtained, the login information is verified, and if the login information is determined to be correct, the management device and the corresponding baseboard management controller establish corresponding communication connection.

After the established communication connection is established, SN (Serial Number) information of the corresponding bare cell may be acquired based on the communication connection.

After the SN information is obtained, a unique mapping relation based on the SN information and the IP address can be established based on the SN information and the IP address of the same bare chip. These mappings are stored in an identification mapping table.

In a specific embodiment of the present application, the step four of establishing the device mapping relationship table by using the SN information and the IP address includes:

step 1, determining the corresponding relation between SN information, an IP address and a physical bare engine by using a lighting command;

and 2, establishing an equipment mapping relation table by using the corresponding relation.

The lighting command enables the corresponding server to light the corresponding lamp, so that an operator can determine which physical bare engine is currently operated correspondingly. That is, based on the lighting command, the correspondence between the SN information and the IP address and the physical bare cell can be clarified, and based on the correspondence, the device mapping table including the physical bare cell information can be constructed.

For example, the following steps are carried out: the server cluster is physically connected to a local area network based on a BMC network, wherein the local area network comprises a DHCP server. After the server is powered on, the DHCP server will assign a private IP address to each bare die. The management equipment is connected to a local area network, the management equipment can communicate with a DHCP server so as to obtain IP addresses distributed to all bare computers, then the bare computers in a server cluster are connected in a network communication mode based on the IP addresses, when the bare computers are connected, an interface display function of the management equipment can prompt user names and passwords to be input, and after the user names and the passwords are input correctly, the management equipment can establish communication with a substrate control manager of the bare computers. After an error is entered, the type of error may be prompted and an opportunity for re-entry may be given. After communication is successfully established with a baseboard control manager in a server of a server cluster, SN information of bare computers can be obtained to serve as machine IDs, an equipment mapping relation table is established by SN and IP addresses, and the SN information and the IP addresses are stored in a storage space of management equipment for subsequent searching. Preferably, the SN information, IP, and physical bare metal are also uniquely linked by sending a lighting command.

S102, after the target command specification is selected and the one-key query instruction is obtained, the target command to be executed is determined by using the command mapping relation table.

In this embodiment, the command description may be displayed in the management apparatus, and the command mapping table may be stored in the management apparatus. The mapping relation table records the corresponding relation between each command description and the command.

The command description is the interpretation corresponding to the command. Specifically, the instruction description may specifically correspond to a description corresponding to all or part of the instructions that need to be executed to manage the server cluster. Specifically, information such as the action of the command, the command return result description, and the like may be described. The command description may be a command description corresponding to a command that is difficult to understand or easy to be executed incorrectly or operated incorrectly, and specific presentation content of the command description may be determined according to actual needs, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

In the present embodiment, the command description selected by the operator is determined as the target command description, that is, any one of the displayed command descriptions may be the target command description. When the operation selects the target command description and clicks the one-key query, the operation is regarded as obtaining a query instruction. Based on the command mapping relation table, a target command to be executed may be determined.

In one embodiment of the present application, the selecting of the target command description in step S102 includes:

step one, outputting each command description in a command mapping relation table on a display interface;

and step two, monitoring the display interface to obtain the selected operation information of the target command specification.

For convenience of description, the above two steps will be described in combination.

The user-friendly command descriptions and the actually executed commands can be established in a one-to-one mapping relation and stored in the storage space, and a single command description is displayed on the user interface. When performing a batch query operation, the user may select a command specification and then click on a one-touch query in the management device. And when the condition that the one-key query is clicked is monitored, the target command description can be determined to be selected.

S103, determining each target bare machine of the target command to be executed by using the device mapping relation table.

Based on the device mapping relationship table, each target bare machine of the target command to be executed can be specified. The target bare engine can be a batch bare engine or a small number of target bare engines, such as an individual bare engine.

Specifically, the management device finds a target command to be executed according to the command mapping relationship, and then finds an IP corresponding to the SN according to the stored device mapping relationship table.

And S104, respectively sending the target commands to each target bare machine, and receiving feedback information sent by each target bare machine.

And sending the target command to the corresponding bare machine. And then transmitting the acquired required information (namely feedback information such as health status, configuration information and the like) back to the management equipment, and binding and storing the acquired required information and the corresponding SN into a storage space.

By applying the method provided by the embodiment of the application, the substrate management controller of each bare engine in the server cluster is utilized to establish an equipment mapping relation table corresponding to the bare engine; after the target command specification is selected and the one-key query instruction is obtained, determining a target command to be executed by using the command mapping relation table; determining each target bare machine of the target command to be executed by using the equipment mapping relation table; and respectively sending the target command to each target bare machine, and receiving feedback information sent by each target bare machine.

In the application, for each bare machine in the server cluster, an equipment mapping relation table corresponding to the bare machine is established first. And then after the target command specification is selected and the one-key query instruction is obtained, determining the target command to be executed by using the command mapping relation table. And then, determining each target bare machine of the target command to be executed by using the device mapping relation table. After the target command to be executed and the target bare machine for executing the target command are determined, the target command is directly and respectively sent to each target bare machine, and therefore feedback information sent by each target bare machine is received. That is, in the present application, batch operations of a plurality of bare metal machines can be realized without an operating system, and there are advantages of a friendly interface and simple operations due to the presence of command specification and one-touch query functions.

It should be noted that, based on the above embodiments, the embodiments of the present application also provide corresponding improvements. In the preferred/improved embodiment, the same steps as those in the above embodiment or corresponding steps may be referred to each other, and corresponding advantageous effects may also be referred to each other, which are not described in detail in the preferred/improved embodiment herein.

In one embodiment of the present application, a bulk filling system may also be implemented. The implementation process comprises the following steps:

step one, after a one-key filling instruction is obtained, determining a selected bare computer and starting a filling program of BMC;

and step two, transmitting the mirror image in the storage space to each selected bare machine by utilizing a time-sharing multiplexing mode so as to realize batch filling of the mirror images.

And displaying one-key filling in the management equipment, and after the user clicks one-key filling, determining the selected bare machine and starting a filling program of the BMC. And then, the mirror image of the storage space is transmitted to each selected bare machine in a time-sharing multiplexing mode, so that the mirror image is filled in batches. The image is an image of the operating system and the filling image is a filling operating system.

Among them, TIME DIVISION Multiplexing (TDMA) is applied to a technique of transmitting MULTIPLEX data by one line in a network, based on a TIME DIVISION application line.

For example: the mirror image can be copied to the storage space of the management device through the U disk, after a user clicks one key for filling, the management device can send a string of commands to start a filling program of the BMC, and then the mirror image is transmitted to each selected machine in a time-sharing multiplexing mode, so that the mirror image can be filled in batches.
