Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application discloses a server network configuration method, which is applied to a server provided with dual processors, and includes:
s101, if the server is started, identifying a Loopback signal of two connectors for connecting the server and the target network card.
In the embodiment, the server is connected with the two connectors through any arithmetic unit of the first processor in the server; or the server is connected with one of the two connectors through any arithmetic unit of the first processor in the server, and simultaneously the server is connected with the other connector through any arithmetic unit of the second processor in the server. In one embodiment, both connectors are MCIO (Mini Cooled Input/Output power connector) connectors.
Typically, a processor includes a plurality of arithmetic units, with 0 to 15 lanes for each arithmetic unit. Therefore, 0 to 7lane of one arithmetic unit can be connected to one connector, and 8 to 15lane of the arithmetic unit can be connected to the other connector, whereby two connectors can be connected to one arithmetic unit. When an arithmetic unit is connected to a connector, the connector connects 0 to 7lane or 8 to 15lane of the arithmetic unit.
In one example, a CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) may be provided on the server motherboard to identify the Loopback signal of the connector. In one embodiment, identifying a Loopback signal for connecting two connectors of a server and a target network card comprises: and identifying the Loopback signals of the two connectors by using the CPLD in the mainboard of the server. Correspondingly, the CPLD on the server motherboard may also configure the operating mode of the target network card, that is: the CPLD configures the target network card to be in a single machine mode or a double machine mode. Therefore, in a specific embodiment, configuring the target network card to be in a single-computer mode, or configuring the target network card to be in a dual-computer mode includes: and configuring the target network card into a single machine mode or a double machine mode by utilizing the CPLD. The two connectors may also be disposed on the server motherboard.
And S102, if the Loopback signals of the two connectors are the same, configuring the target network card to be in a single machine mode, and enabling the two connectors to equally divide the total bandwidth of the server.
In one embodiment, if the Loopback signals of the two connectors are the same, configuring the target network card to be in a standalone mode includes: if the Loopback signals of the two connectors are both low level, the BIF (bifurcation) of the target network card is set as the single-machine mode flag bit to configure the target network card to be in single-machine mode. Of course, the target network card may be configured to be in the stand-alone mode when the Loopback signals of the two connectors are both at the high level. Wherein, the single machine mode flag bit includes: BIF0=0 and BIF1=0 and BIF2=0.
S103, if the Loopback signals of the two connectors are different, the target network card is configured to be in a dual-computer mode, and the bandwidth of the two connectors is the same as the total bandwidth of the server.
In one embodiment, if the Loopback signals of the two connectors are different, configuring the target network card to be in a dual-host mode includes: if the Loopback signal of one of the two connectors is at a high level and the Loopback signal of the other connector is at a low level, the BIF of the target network card is set as a dual-computer mode flag bit to configure the target network card to be in a dual-computer mode. Wherein, the double machine mode flag bit includes: BIF0=0 and BIF1=0 and BIF2=1.
In one embodiment, the bandwidth of both connectors can be configured using the server's BIOS (Basic Input/Output Sysem). The method for configuring the bandwidths of the two connectors by using the BIOS of the server comprises the following steps: identifying a first signal and a second signal corresponding to each connector by using the BIOS; if the first signal and the second signal corresponding to only one connector are different, the total bandwidth of the server is equally divided by using the BIOS to configure the two connectors; if the first signal and the second signal corresponding to each connector are different, the bandwidth of the two connectors configured by the BIOS is the same as the total bandwidth of the server. The first signal and the second signal corresponding to each connector are specifically shown in table 1.
TABLE 1
One connector is associated with the first signal ID1 in table 1 and the second signal ID0 in table 1, and is connected to 0 to 7lane or 8 to 15lane of a certain arithmetic unit PEx of a certain processor CPUx. If one of the two connectors is confirmed to be connected to 8-15 Lane of PEx of CPUx, ID1 of the connector takes 1 and ID0 takes 0; meanwhile, the other of the two connectors is connected to 0 to 7Lane of PEx of CPUx, and ID1 of the other connector is 1 and ID0 is 0, then the first signal and the second signal corresponding to the two connectors are different, which means that the two connectors are connected to the same processor, and thus the two connectors are configured by using BIOS to equally divide the total bandwidth of the server, that is: one connector is configured with a bandwidth of x8, and the other connector is also configured with a bandwidth of x8, so that the processor connected with the connector performs data processing according to the total bandwidth of x16 of the server. If one of the two connectors is confirmed to be connected to 8-15 Lane of PEx of CPUx, ID1 of the connector takes 1 and ID0 takes 0; meanwhile, the other connector of the two connectors is connected with 8-15 Lane of PEy of the CPUy, and ID1 of the other connector is 1 and ID0 of the other connector is 1, then the first signal and the second signal corresponding to only one connector of the two connectors are different, which means that the two connectors are connected with different processors, so that the bandwidth of the two connectors is configured to be the same as the total bandwidth of the server by using BIOS, namely: one connector is configured with a bandwidth of x16, and the other connector is also configured with a bandwidth of x16, so that the CPUx and CPUy connected with the two connectors perform data processing according to the total bandwidth of x16 of the server. Wherein, the first signal and the second signal corresponding to each connector are transmitted to the connector by the 8 Lanes of the PE connected to the connector. If the first signal and the second signal corresponding to each connector are both 1, as shown in the 2 nd last row in table 1, it indicates that the connector is not connected with a network card.
It should be noted that, a processor generally includes a plurality of PEs, and these PEs may be connected to other PCIE devices in addition to the network card through the connector.
It can be seen that the present embodiment is directed to a dual-processor server, and two connectors are used to connect the server and a target network card to be used by the server. After the server is started, recognizing Loopback signals of the two connectors; if the Loopback signals of the two connectors are the same, configuring the target network card to be in a single machine mode, and enabling the two connectors to equally divide the total bandwidth of the server; if the Loopback signals of the two connectors are different, the target network card is configured to be in a dual-computer mode, and the bandwidth of the two connectors is the same as the total bandwidth of the server, so that the network card configuration and the bandwidth configuration of the connectors can be completed. The scheme can enable the server to automatically determine whether the network card is configured into a single-computer mode or a multi-computer mode by identifying a Loopback signal of the connector, and automatically configure the bandwidth based on the configuration of the network card working mode, thereby realizing the automatic configuration of the network card and the bandwidth of the server. The scheme does not need to change circuits on a server mainboard, and the connection between the server and the network card can be completed by using two connectors, so that different connection schemes can be completed by using one mainboard, the hardware cost is low, and the connection change is easy to perform.
Referring to fig. 2, an embodiment of the present application provides a schematic diagram of a connection scheme. As shown in fig. 2, in the dual-processor system, 0 to 7lane of one PE of CPU0 on the system board is connected to one connector, 0 to 7lane of one PE of CPU1 on the system board is connected to the other connector, and both connectors are connected to the same network card. The network card is an OCP 3.0NIC card, and PCIE x16 bandwidth can be configured. In this connection scheme, the network card is configured in a dual-machine mode, and the bandwidths of the lines where the two connectors are located are both x16. The specific configuration process comprises the following steps: the CPLD on the system motherboard defines 3 pin signals of the network card: BIF0, BIF1, BIF2, BIF0=0, BIF1=0, and BIF2=1, so as to set the network card to the dual-machine mode. In the scheme, the system BIOS can identify that a connector connected with a CPU1 has a 1 signal, and simultaneously identifies that a connector connected with a CPU0 has a 0 signal, the system BIOS sets the bandwidth of the PE connected with the network card in the CPU1 to be x16, sets the bandwidth of the PE connected with the network card in the CPU0 to be x16, and sets the bandwidths of the two connectors to be the total bandwidth of the system. Thereby completing the configuration flow.
The OCP (Open computer Project) is an Open computing Project.
Referring to fig. 3, another schematic diagram of a connection scheme is provided in the embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 3, in the dual-processor system, 0 to 7lane of a PE of CPU0 on the system board are connected to one connector, 8 to 15lane of the PE of CPU0 are connected to another connector, and both connectors are connected to the same network card; the CPU1 on the system mainboard is connected with other equipment. The network card is an OCP 3.0NIC card, and PCIE x16 bandwidth can be configured. In this connection scheme, the network card is configured in a single-machine mode, and the bandwidth of the line on which the two connectors are located is x8. The specific configuration process comprises the following steps: the CPLD on the system motherboard defines 3 pin signals of the network card: BIF0, BIF1, BIF2, BIF0=0 and BIF1=0 and BIF2=0, to set the network card to the standalone mode. In the scheme, the system BIOS can identify that a connector connected with a CPU0 has a 0 signal, and simultaneously identify that the other connector connected with the CPU0 has a 0 signal, the system BIOS sets the bandwidth of 0-7 lane of the PE connected with the network card in the CPU0 to be x8, sets the bandwidth of 8-15 lane of the PE to be x8, and sets the bandwidth of the two connectors to be half of the total bandwidth of the system. Thereby completing the configuration flow.
Therefore, different circuit connections are required to be performed for the network card dual-computer mode and the network card single-computer mode, but the network card configuration and the network bandwidth configuration can be completed according to the same logic.
It should be noted that one PE of any CPU can be connected to one MCIO connector with reference to fig. 4. As shown in fig. 4, a PE of the CPU controls whether 0 to 7lane and 8 to 15lane of the PE communicate with the connector through a PCH (path controller) provided on the motherboard, and thereby determines the ID0 signal and the ID1 signal corresponding to the connector. Pulling up 4.7K and A26 pins A8 in FIG. 4 to be connected in an air-to-air manner, when the MCIO connector is not connected with a network card, ID0 and ID1 of 0-7 lane and ID0 and ID1 of 8-15 lane take the following values: 1111, at which time the corresponding configuration x16 is set. In the network card dual-machine mode, referring to fig. 4, it can be flexibly selected to let the MCIO connector connect to 0 to 7lane or 8 to 15lane of PE of CPU0, the connected ID will be reversed by MOS, and another MCIO connector connects to 0 to 7lane or 8 to 15lane of PE of another CPU1, so that the BIOS recognizes: 1110 or 0111 so that CPU0 and CPU1 each have an MCIO connector to the network card. In the network card single mode, referring to fig. 4, one MCIO connector may be connected to 0 to 7lane of a PE of CPU0 or CPU1, and another MCIO connector may be connected to 8 to 15lane of the PE, at this time, the BIOS may identify: 1010.
in the single-machine mode, two a30 pins of the same PE of one CPU are connected to a CPLD on the motherboard through an external pull-up resistor, one a30 pin corresponds to 0 to 7lane of the PE, the other a30 pin corresponds to 8 to 15lane of the PE, and the two a30 pins are connected to different connectors. The pin B30 of the network card is connected to the CPLD, and at this time, the CPLD recognizes that the Loopback signals connected to the two connectors are both at a low level, that is, it is considered that one PE of the same CPU is connected to the two connectors, and then the CPLD sets BIF0=0, BIF1=0, and BIF2=0 of the network card, so as to set the network card to the standalone mode. And in the dual-computer mode, one a30 pin of one PE of one CPU is connected to the CPLD through an external pull-up resistor, one a30 pin of one PE of another CPU is also connected to the CPLD through an external pull-up resistor, and the two a30 pins are connected to different connectors, so that the CPLD can recognize that the Loopback signals of the two connectors are high level and low level, so that BIF0=0 and BIF1=0 and BIF2=1 of the network card are set, so as to set the network card to the dual-computer mode.
Therefore, different circuit connections are required for the network card dual-machine mode and the network card single-machine mode, but based on the two different circuit connections, the network card configuration and the network bandwidth configuration can be completed according to the same logic. When the circuit connection is changed, the network card, the CPLD, the BIOS and the like do not need to change the firmware, and the network card can work in a dual-machine mode or a single-machine mode by changing the firmware to the minimum degree, so that the use of the network card is more flexible, and the hardware cost is lower.
