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 invention.
It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present invention and in the drawings described above are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used is interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the invention described herein are capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein.

Example one
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of an asset information management method according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the embodiment is applicable to a case where asset information is obtained quickly and accurately, and the method may be implemented by an asset information management apparatus, where the apparatus may be implemented by software and/or hardware, and may be generally directly integrated in an electronic device that executes the method, for example, a baseboard management controller. Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the asset information management method is applied to a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), and may specifically include the following steps:
s110, acquiring asset information to be managed, and verifying and analyzing the asset information to be managed to obtain analyzed asset information corresponding to the asset information to be managed.
The asset information to be managed may be any asset information related to the server that needs to be managed. For example, the asset information to be managed may be CPU information, memory information, PCIE information, or the like of the server, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. The analyzed asset information may be asset information obtained by performing verification analysis on the asset information to be managed.
In the embodiment of the invention, the asset information to be managed is obtained to check and analyze the asset information to be managed, so that the analyzed asset information corresponding to the asset information to be managed is obtained.
Optionally, the asset information to be managed may be obtained from the IPMI command. Specifically, after the server is started, the BIOS may scan the server and collect asset information (i.e., asset information to be managed) of the server, and the BIOS generates an IPMI command according to the asset information of the server, so as to send the generated IPMI command to the BMC through the BIOS, thereby acquiring the asset information to be managed in the IPMI command through an IPMI command processing process in the BMC.

Wherein an interprocess communication system may be used for communication between two or more processes. In the process of communication through the interprocess communication system, one process can store the communication data in the interprocess communication system, and the other process can acquire the communication data in the interprocess communication system, thereby realizing the communication between the two processes. It is understood that any process may store communication data in the interprocess communication system, and any corresponding process may obtain communication data in the interprocess communication system. It is understood that the interprocess communication system in the baseboard management controllers of different architectures may also be different. For example, in the baseboard management controller of the OpenBMC architecture, the interprocess communication system may be a D-Bus (message Bus system). It is understood that D-Bus can be used for Inter-Process Communication or Communication between a Process and a kernel, and is accepted by more and more platforms as a lightweight IPC (Inter-Process Communication). The asset information file may be asset information in the form of a file generated from parsing the asset information.
In the embodiment of the invention, after the asset information to be managed is verified and analyzed to obtain the analyzed asset information corresponding to the asset information to be managed, the analyzed asset information can be further stored in the interprocess communication system, and meanwhile, an asset information file can be determined according to the analyzed asset information so as to store the asset information file in the file system. It will be appreciated that after storing the parsed asset information to the interprocess communication system, any process may directly interface with the interprocess communication system to obtain the parsed asset information.
Optionally, after the asset information to be managed in the IPMI command is verified and analyzed by the IPMI command processing process in the BMC to obtain the analyzed asset information, the inter-process communication system may be called to send the analyzed asset information to the asset information management process in the BMC, so that the analyzed asset information is stored in the inter-process communication system by the asset information management process, and the asset information file is determined according to the analyzed asset information.
S130, storing the asset information file into a file system so as to manage the asset information to be managed.
In the embodiment of the present invention, after determining the asset information file according to the parsed asset information, the asset information file may be further stored in a file system to manage the asset information to be managed. Optionally, the asset information file is stored in the file system, and the asset information file may be stored in a preset storage path in the file system. Illustratively, the asset information file may be stored under the/var/lib of the file system. Alternatively, the asset information file may be stored in a file system through an asset information management process.
According to the technical scheme, the asset information to be managed is acquired, the asset information to be managed is verified and analyzed to obtain the analyzed asset information corresponding to the asset information to be managed, the analyzed asset information is stored in the interprocess communication system, the asset information file is determined according to the analyzed asset information, and the asset information file is stored in the file system, so that the asset information to be managed is managed, the problem that the asset information cannot be timely and accurately acquired by an existing asset information management method is solved, the asset information can be rapidly and accurately acquired, and meanwhile, the asset information management function is conveniently expanded.
Example two
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of an asset information management method according to a second embodiment of the present invention, where this embodiment further details the above technical solutions, and provides multiple specific optional implementation manners in which the parsed asset information includes a server device identifier and split asset information corresponding to the server identifier. The solution in this embodiment may be combined with the individual alternatives in one or more of the embodiments described above. As shown in fig. 2, the method may include the steps of:
s210, asset information to be managed is obtained, and verification and analysis are carried out on the asset information to be managed, so that a server equipment identifier corresponding to the asset information to be managed and split asset information corresponding to the server identifier are obtained.
The server device identifier may be an identifier of a device in the server corresponding to the asset information to be managed, for example, a name corresponding to the server device, or a serial number corresponding to the server device, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. It is understood that a server may include multiple devices, and the multiple devices in the server may be the same or different. For example, assuming that the server includes 2 CPU devices, the server device identifiers corresponding to the 2 CPU devices may be CPU-1 and CPU-2. Assuming that the server includes 1 memory device and 1 CPU device, the server device identifier corresponding to the memory device may be a memory, and the server device identifier corresponding to the CPU device may be a CPU.
The split asset information may be asset information corresponding to the server device obtained by splitting the asset information to be managed. It is understood that the asset information corresponding to different server devices may be different, and the asset information corresponding to the same server device may be the same or different.
In the embodiment of the invention, the asset information to be managed is obtained to check and analyze the asset information to be managed, so that the server equipment identifier corresponding to the asset information to be managed and the split asset information corresponding to the server equipment identifier are obtained. It is to be understood that the asset information to be managed may correspond to one or more server device identifications, and one server device identification may correspond to one or more split asset information.
S220, determining a target storage path interface in the interprocess communication system corresponding to the asset information to be managed according to the server equipment identification.
The target storage path interface may be an interface corresponding to a storage path in the interprocess communication system. It will be appreciated that the server device identification corresponds one-to-one to the target storage path interface. The target storage path interfaces corresponding to different server device identifiers are different. That is, the asset information corresponding to different server devices may be stored under different interface paths.
In the embodiment of the invention, after the asset information to be managed is checked and analyzed to obtain the server equipment identifier corresponding to the asset information to be managed and the split asset information corresponding to the server equipment identifier, a target storage path interface in the interprocess communication system corresponding to the asset information to be managed can be further determined according to the server equipment identifier.
Optionally, before determining, according to the server device identifier, a target storage path interface in the inter-process communication system corresponding to the asset information to be managed, the method may further include: determining historical asset information stored in an interprocess communication system and a historical asset information file stored in a file system; and deleting the historical asset information and the historical asset information file.
Wherein the historical asset information may be asset information already stored in the interprocess communication system before the parsed asset information is stored in the interprocess communication system. The historical asset information file may be an asset information file already stored in the file system prior to storing the asset information file to the file system.
Specifically, before determining a target storage path interface in the interprocess communication system corresponding to the asset information to be managed according to the server device identifier, historical asset information stored in the interprocess communication system and a historical asset information file stored in the file system may be determined to delete the historical asset information and the historical asset information file.
According to the technical scheme, the asset information left in the interprocess communication system and the file system is deleted before the asset information is stored and analyzed, so that the reliability of the asset information can be guaranteed.
And S230, determining a target asset information storage space according to the target storage path interface, and storing the split asset information to the target asset information storage space.
Wherein the target asset information storage space may be a storage space determined according to the target storage path interface. That is, the target asset information storage space may be a space in which asset information corresponding to the server device is stored. It will be appreciated that the target asset information storage space may be a storage space in an interprocess communication system.
In the embodiment of the present invention, after determining, according to the server device identifier, a target storage path interface in the inter-process communication system corresponding to the asset information to be managed, a target asset information storage space may be further determined according to the target storage path interface, so as to store the split asset information into the target asset information storage space.
According to the technical scheme, the specific content of the analyzed asset information is determined, the storage space of the split asset information in the interprocess communication system is determined according to the server equipment identifier obtained through analysis, and the required asset information can be acquired more quickly and accurately.
Optionally, when the split asset information is stored in the target asset information storage space, the split asset information may be stored in the target asset information storage space in the form of a parameter variable.
Optionally, storing the split asset information in the target asset information storage space may include: determining an asset information parameter variable name and an asset information parameter variable value corresponding to split asset information according to the split asset information; and storing the asset information parameter variable name and the asset information parameter variable value into a target asset information storage space.
The asset information parameter variable name may be a name of a parameter variable corresponding to the split asset information. The asset information parameter variable value may be a value of a parameter variable corresponding to the split asset information.
Specifically, after determining a target storage path interface in the inter-process communication system corresponding to the asset information to be managed according to the server device identifier, an asset information parameter variable name and an asset information parameter variable value corresponding to the split asset information may be further determined according to the split asset information, so as to store the asset information parameter variable name and the asset information parameter variable value into the target asset information storage space. It will be appreciated that different split asset information may correspond to different asset information parameter variable names.
For example, if the split asset information is information that the CPU device is in place, then the asset information parameter variable name may be determined to be abc and the asset information parameter variable value may be true. If the split asset information is information that the CPU device is not in place, the asset information parameter variable name can be determined to be abc, and the asset information parameter variable value can be false. That is, the value of the parameter variable abc may represent information on whether the CPU device is in place.
According to the technical scheme, the asset information parameter variable name and the asset information parameter variable value corresponding to the split asset information are determined, so that the asset information parameter variable name and the asset information parameter variable value are stored in the target asset information storage space, the split asset information can be stored in the form of the parameter variable, and the accuracy of acquiring the asset information is improved.
S240, determining an asset information file according to the server equipment identifier and the split asset information corresponding to the server equipment identifier, and storing the asset information file into a file system to manage the asset information to be managed.

Optionally, one asset information file may correspond to a plurality of pieces of split asset information of one server device, that is, one asset information file is determined according to all pieces of split asset information corresponding to the server device identifier; the present invention may also be configured to determine an asset information file according to split asset information of a server device, that is, according to split asset information corresponding to a server device identifier.
Optionally, after storing the asset information file in the file system, the method may further include: under the condition of restarting a baseboard management controller, acquiring a first storage asset information file stored in a file system; and determining storage management asset information according to the first storage asset information file, and storing the storage management asset information into the interprocess communication system.
Wherein the first stored asset information file may be an asset information file previously stored in the file system prior to the baseboard management controller restarting. The storage management asset information may be asset information derived from the first storage asset information file.
Specifically, in an application scenario of restarting the baseboard management controller, a first storage asset information file stored in the file system may be acquired, so as to determine storage management asset information according to the first storage asset information file, thereby storing the storage management asset information in the interprocess communication system.
According to the technical scheme, an application scene of restarting the baseboard management controller is provided, so that the asset information stored in the file system is stored in the interprocess communication system after the baseboard management controller is restarted, and the acquisition rate of the asset information after the baseboard management controller is restarted is further improved.
Optionally, after storing the asset information file in the file system, the method may further include: under the condition of updating the baseboard management controller, determining an asset information file to be deleted in a file system; determining a reserved asset information file in a file system according to the asset information file to be deleted; under the condition that the reserved asset information file is determined to be empty, returning to execute the operation of acquiring the asset information to be managed; and under the condition that the reserved asset information file is determined not to be empty, determining reserved management asset information according to the reserved asset information file, and storing the reserved management asset information into the interprocess communication system.
The asset information file to be deleted may be an asset information file that needs to be deleted in the file system. The reserved asset information file may be an asset information file in the file system that needs to be reserved. It will be appreciated that the asset information file to be deleted and the reserved asset information file constitute all asset information files in the file system. The reservation management asset information may be asset information derived from a reservation asset information file.
Specifically, in an application scenario of updating the baseboard management controller, the asset information file to be deleted in the file system may be determined, so as to determine the reserved asset information file in the file system according to the asset information file to be deleted, thereby determining whether the reserved asset information file is empty. If the reserved asset information file is empty, which indicates that all asset information files in the file system are deleted, the operation of acquiring the asset information to be managed can be returned to be executed, so as to acquire the asset information to be managed again. If the reserved asset information file is not empty, indicating that a portion of the asset information file in the file system is deleted, the reserved management asset information may be determined from the reserved asset information file to store the reserved management asset information in the interprocess communication system.
According to the technical scheme, the application scene of the updated baseboard management controller is provided, so that the reserved asset information file in the file system is determined after the baseboard management controller is updated, the reserved asset information file is stored in the interprocess communication system when the reserved asset information file is not empty, and the acquisition rate of asset information after the baseboard management controller is updated is further improved.
Optionally, determining the asset information file to be deleted in the file system may include: acquiring a second storage asset information file stored in the file system, and determining whether to reserve the second storage asset information file; if yes, determining an asset information file to be deleted in the second stored asset information file according to the asset information deleting instruction; if not, all the second storage asset information files in the file system are determined as the asset information files to be deleted.
Wherein the second stored asset information file may be an asset information file previously stored in the file system by the baseboard management controller. The asset information deletion instruction may be an instruction to delete asset information in a file system.
Specifically, in an application scenario of updating the baseboard management controller, a second storage asset information file stored in the file system may be obtained, and it may be determined whether to reserve the second storage asset information file. If the second stored asset information file is reserved, the asset information file to be deleted in the second stored asset information file can be determined according to the asset information deletion instruction. If the second stored asset information file is not retained, all of the second stored asset information files in the file system may be determined to be the asset information files to be deleted.
According to the technical scheme, a specific implementation mode for determining the asset information file to be deleted in the file system is provided, so that the asset information file to be deleted can be determined more accurately.

EXAMPLE III
In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the asset information management method of the embodiment, an application scenario of the baseboard management controller of the OpenBMC architecture is specifically described as an example. OpenBMC is an open source project of BMC, and with the development of technology, openBMC is becoming mature and stable, and gradually becomes the development direction of future BMC. However, a general asset information management scheme for OpenBMC does not exist in the prior art, and if the existing asset information management scheme is directly used for OpenBMC, the framework advantage of OpenBMC cannot be fully utilized. Therefore, the asset information management method of the baseboard management controller based on the OpenBMC architecture has great significance.
Fig. 3 is an exemplary flowchart of an asset information management method according to a third embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 3, the method may specifically include:
(1) After the server is started, the server equipment can be scanned through the BIOS to collect asset information (namely asset information to be managed) of the server equipment, and an IPMI command is generated through the BIOS according to the collected asset information and is sent to the BMC.
(2) After the BMC receives the IPMI command, the asset information can be verified and analyzed through an IPMI command processing process in the BMC to obtain analyzed asset information.
(3) And calling a D-Bus to send the analyzed asset information to an asset information management process in the BMC.
(4) After the asset information management process receives the analyzed asset information, the asset information (namely historical asset information and historical asset information files) left on the D-Bus and in the file system is removed through the asset information management process.
(5) And adding the analytic asset information to the D-Bus through the asset information management process, and storing the analytic asset information in a file form under a file system/var/lib. Specifically, asset information of different server devices may be added to different path interfaces in the D-Bus, and different asset information corresponding to the same server device may be stored in the form of parameter variables in interface paths corresponding to the server devices. That is, different server devices can be distinguished through the names of the path interfaces on the D-Bus, and different asset information can be distinguished through the names of the parameter variables.
(6) And other processes can directly acquire the asset information on the D-Bus when the asset information needs to be acquired. Specifically, if other processes need to acquire asset information, for example, a BMC back-end process needs to acquire asset information and transmit the asset information to the front end through a redfish interface, and finally the asset information is displayed on a BMC web page, or a monitoring process of related equipment needs to acquire asset information of corresponding equipment to identify the equipment, etc., the D-Bus may be connected to acquire the asset information through a path interface corresponding to the server equipment.
According to the technical scheme, when other processes need to acquire the asset information, secondary analysis is not needed, and the required asset information can be quickly and accurately acquired through the path interface and the name of the parameter variable.
Fig. 4 is another exemplary flowchart of an asset information management method according to a third embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 4, in an application scenario where the BMC is restarted, the method may include the following steps:
(1) Asset information stored in the file system (i.e., the first stored asset information file) is obtained through an asset information management process.
(2) And adding the asset information stored in the file system to the D-Bus through an asset information management process.
According to the technical scheme, in the application scene of restarting the BMC, the asset information stored in the file system is obtained and stored to the D-Bus, so that other processes can directly obtain the asset information on the D-Bus when needing to obtain the asset information. It will be appreciated that asset information stored on the D-Bus may be lost after restarting the BMC.
Fig. 5 is another exemplary flowchart of an asset information management method according to a third embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 5, in an application scenario of updating a BMC, the method may include the following steps:
(1) It is determined whether to retain the asset information in the file system (i.e., the second stored asset information file).
(2) And if so, determining the asset information file to be deleted, and deleting the asset information file to be deleted. After the BMC is started, asset information (namely a reserved asset information file) is acquired in the file system through an asset information management process, and the reserved asset information file is added to the D-Bus through the asset information management process.
(3) If not, all the asset information in the file system is deleted. After the BMC is started, waiting for the BIOS to send an IPMI command to push asset information. It is understood that if the asset information in the file system is not retained, and there is no asset information in the file system after the BMC update, the asset information may be retrieved through the BIOS.
According to the technical scheme, the asset information in the file system is reserved, so that other processes can acquire the asset information through the D-Bus.
According to the technical scheme, a D-Bus in OpenBMC is fully utilized, so that interaction among different processes is faster and more convenient, the expansion of an asset information management function is facilitated, asset information can be displayed on a visual web interface, and data requirements of other processes are met; by storing the asset information in the file system, the asset information can be reserved after the BMC is restarted, and when the BMC is updated, the unreserved, full-reserved or partial asset information can be flexibly configured, so that the development or management work is more convenient.
