According to an aspect of the embodiments of the present application, there is provided an information processing method of a resource pool, taking a computer terminal as an example to execute the information processing method of a resource pool in the embodiment, fig. 2 is a flowchart of the information processing method of a resource pool according to the embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 2, the flowchart includes the following steps:

step S202, scanning a specified communication channel where a specified connector port on the input/output resource pool is located to identify a specified type of resource pool mounted on the input/output resource pool, wherein the specified connector port is a signal connector port used for signal transmission between the input/output resource pool and the specified type of resource pool.

The information processing method of the resource pool in the embodiment can be applied to a scene of performing accurate communication between different resource pools (resource pool Box, for example, SSD Box) of the same type as the resource pools (IO Box) mounted on the same input/output resource pool, and can be applied to a fusion architecture. With the rapid development of many complex computing modes such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, high-performance computing and the like, different computing platform demands exist for different computing tasks, different computing power demands exist for different application scenes, and in order to meet different data processing demands, data throughput demands and resource demands in different application scenes, a computing-centric architecture is being transformed into a data-centric fusion architecture.

The fusion architecture has the characteristic of resource decoupling, namely, the whole system is decoupled into independent pooling modules such as a computer resource pool, a memory resource pool, an input and output equipment resource pool and the like, which is beneficial to flexible allocation and quick upgrade of key equipment such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit, a central processing unit), a memory, a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit, an image processor), an SSD and the like. In the fusion architecture, all input and output resources are concentrated in one input and output resource pool, other terminal devices can be mounted below the input and output resource pool, and the input and output resources can be distributed according to the actual access condition of the devices through management software.

In the related art, each resource pool (Box) has its own unique ID code, and sends a signal to the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller ) or BIOS (Basic Input Output System, basic input output system) through a dial switch or a resistor pull-down, so that the system knows its own number, the ID code of the resource pool is a default ID, and the default IDs of the resource pools with the same physical structure are the same.

However, the Device identification in the unordered interconnection mode cannot be performed by the default ID to distinguish the resource pool, which is not suitable for an application scenario of the resource pool system, and when a plurality of identical boxes exist in the system, the core IO node cannot effectively distinguish the plurality of identical Device boxes existing below. The core node may be a pool of input-output resources. Multiple resource pools of the same type can be mounted under the input/output resource pools, and because the physical structures of the resource pools are identical, default IDs are identical, and the resource pools cannot be normally used in the fusion architecture in a mode of distinguishing the resource pools by the default IDs.

Taking an SSD resource pool as an example, SSDs exist in the form of independent boxes in a fusion framework, and when a user actually uses the SSDs, one, two or more SSD boxes can be selectively mounted under an IO Box according to the self-demand. Because the physical structures of the SSD boxes are identical, different SSD boxes cannot be distinguished accurately, and therefore data instructions cannot be pushed to the destination SSD Box accurately.

In order to at least partially solve the above-mentioned problem, in this embodiment, an ID identifying scheme applied to a converged architecture system is provided, and by adopting a manner of setting a corresponding resource pool number for a resource pool of the same type connected to the same input/output resource pool, by identifying a resource pool to be configured of a specified type mounted under the input/output resource pool, different resource pool numbers are allocated to different resource pools to be configured, so that each resource pool to be configured has a different resource pool number, and a connector port identifier of a connector port corresponding to each resource pool to be configured includes a resource pool identifier of the corresponding resource pool, and the input/output resource pool can accurately send a data instruction to a target resource pool according to the connector port identifier of the connector port of each resource pool to be configured. Alternatively, the method for processing information of the resource pool in this embodiment may be applied to other pooled systems requiring ID identification, besides the SSD resource pool.

For example, in the fusion architecture, in order to enable a core IO node (for example, an IO Box) to accurately identify a plurality of Device boxes (for example, SSD boxes) with identical subordinate physical structures, different numbers may be allocated to different Device boxes to distinguish the different Device boxes, so that a data instruction may be accurately sent to a target Box.

For an input-output resource pool, a set of connector ports may be provided, through which a connection may be made to one or more types of connector ports of the resource pool, and through which a resource pool may be connected to an input-output resource pool through one or more of the connector ports. For a given type of resource pool, it may connect with a given connector port on the input-output resource pool through a given connector port, where the given connector port may be a port of a given connector. Each designated connector port corresponds to a specific communication channel (i.e., a designated communication channel), so that when the designated type of resource pool is installed, the designated connector ports of the input/output resource pool can be effectively identified by the input/output resource pool through a certain designated communication channel no matter under which designated connector port of the input/output resource pool the designated connector ports are plugged in sequence or not. Here, the designated connector may be a CDFP (a high-speed signal connector for signal transmission between different resource pools) connector, or may be another type of connector; the designated communication channel may be an I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit, two-wire serial bus) channel, or may be another type of communication channel.

In this embodiment, the input/output resource pool identification of the specified type of resource pool may be performed by the BMC of the input/output resource pool (i.e., the IO Box BMC) or may be performed by another controller of the input/output resource pool. Taking the IO Box BMC as an example, the IO Box BMC serves as a Host (active party) and can scan a specified communication channel where a specified connector port on the input/output resource pool is located, so as to identify a resource pool of a specified type mounted on the input/output resource pool. The instruction type resource pool may be a solid state disk resource pool (i.e., SSD Box), or may be another type of resource pool.

Here, each designated connector port on the resource pool of the designated type corresponds to one of the designated communication channels, the resource pool of the designated type may transmit the connector port identification of the designated connector port to the input-output resource pool via the corresponding designated communication channel through the designated connector port thereon, and the input-output resource pool may receive the connector port identification of the designated connector port transmitted by the resource pool of the designated type through the designated connector port thereon. Based on the received connector port identification of the same designated connector port, the number of designated types of resource pools that are mounted to the input-output resource pool may be determined.

Taking SSD BOX as an example, in the fusion architecture, IO BOX is used as an IO resource management node of the whole computing system, and the specific functions are as follows: the PCIe Switch chip expands, groups and distributes PCIe resources from a plurality of different CPUs through 8 PCIe (high-speed signals used for high-speed transmission of IO data in a computer system) Switch chips contained in the IO Box, wherein the PCIe Switch chip is an IO chip for expanding one group of PCIe signals into a plurality of groups of PCIe signals and is used for expanding the IO resources of the CPUs. Each PCIe Switch chip outputs 5 CDFP ports, the whole IO Box can finally output 40 (8*5) CDFP interfaces outwards, and the serial numbers of the 40 CDFP interfaces are respectively: CDFP 0-0 CDFP 0-4, and..a.cdfp 7-0-7-4, each CDFP interface contains a set of PCIe 5.0 x 16 high speed IO signals.

SSDs exist within computer systems as storage devices, and within converged architectures SSD boxes are end devices of the overall system, being containers dedicated to carrying a large number of NVMe SSDs, here an NVMe SSD being a hard disk supporting the PCIe protocol. Each SSD Box can be fully loaded with 32 blocks of high-capacity NVMe SSDs, the SSDs are connected to the IO Box through 6 CDFP interfaces on the SSD Box, and the numbers of the CDFP interfaces of one SSD Box are respectively: CDFP 0,..cdfp 5. The 6 CDFP ports of the SSD Box can interface with any 6 of the 40 CDFP ports of the IO Box without specifying a fixed socket order. As shown in FIG. 3, CDFP 0, CDFP 1 and CDFP 2 on one SSD Box are respectively paired with CDFP 1-1, CDFP 1-2 and CDFP 1-3 on the IO Box, and CDFP 0, CDFP 1 and CDFP 2 on the other SSD Box are respectively paired with CDFP 5-1, CDFP 5-2 and CDFP 5-3 on the IO Box.

In step S204, in the case that a set of resource pools to be configured of a specified type is identified, a unique resource pool number is allocated to each resource pool to be configured.

If it is identified that there are resource pools of a specified type mounted on the input/output resource pool, all or part of the specified type may be identified as a set of resource pools to be configured, and a resource pool number is allocated to each of the resource pools to be configured, where there may be multiple ways of numbering each of the resource pools to be configured, as long as the resource pool numbers of each of the resource pools to be configured are different, for example, a set of four resource pools to be configured includes four resource pools to be configured, where the resource pool numbers allocated by the four resource pools to be configured are 0 (00), 1 (01), 2 (10), and 3 (11), respectively.

Step S206, the resource pool number of each resource pool to be configured is respectively sent to each resource pool to be configured, so as to configure a connector port identifier for a specified connector port of each resource pool to be configured, wherein the connector port identifier of the specified connector port of the resource pool to be configured comprises the resource pool number of the resource pool to be configured. After each to-be-configured resource pool is allocated with a different resource pool number, the resource pool number of each to-be-configured resource pool may be sent to each to-be-configured resource pool, for example, the resource pool number of each to-be-configured resource pool may be sent to each to-be-configured resource pool through a designated communication channel corresponding to a designated connector port of each to-be-configured resource pool, each to-be-configured resource pool may have a plurality of designated connector ports, and the resource pool number of each to-be-configured resource pool may be sent to each to-be-configured resource pool through a designated communication channel corresponding to one of the designated connector ports thereon.

For one to-be-configured resource pool, after receiving the resource pool number allocated to the to-be-configured resource pool, the to-be-configured resource pool can configure a connector port identifier for a specified connector port of the to-be-configured resource pool according to the received resource pool number, wherein the connector port identifier of the specified connector port of the to-be-configured resource pool comprises the resource pool number of the to-be-configured resource pool. Optionally, configuring the connector port identification for the specified connector port of the resource pool to be configured may include: and writing the resource pool number of the resource pool to be configured into a resource pool number field in the connector port identification of the specified connector port of the resource pool to be configured.

It should be noted that, since the connector port identifier may be used to identify different connector ports, and the connector port has a corresponding relationship with the connector, the connector port identifier may also be referred to as a connector identifier, and for CDFP, the connector port identifier may be referred to as a CDFP port ID or a CDFP ID.

Through the steps, the appointed communication channel where the appointed connector port on the input/output resource pool is located is scanned to identify the appointed type of resource pool mounted on the input/output resource pool, wherein the appointed connector port is a signal connector port used for signal transmission between the input/output resource pool and the appointed type of resource pool; under the condition that a group of resource pools to be configured of a specified type is identified, a unique resource pool number is allocated to each resource pool to be configured; the resource pool numbers of each resource pool to be configured are respectively sent to each resource pool to be configured so as to configure a connector port identifier for a specified connector port of each resource pool to be configured, wherein the connector port identifier of the specified connector port of the resource pool to be configured contains the resource pool numbers of the resource pools to be configured, the problem that the accuracy of data instruction sending is low due to the fact that the resource pools with the same physical structure cannot be distinguished in the related art is solved, and the accuracy of data instruction sending is improved.

In one exemplary embodiment, scanning a designated communication channel on which a designated connector port on an input-output resource pool is located to identify a designated type of resource pool mounted on the input-output resource pool, comprises:

s11, under the condition that the input and output resource pool is electrified, scanning a designated communication channel where a designated connector port on the input and output resource pool is located to identify a resource pool of a designated type mounted on the input and output resource pool.

Scanning the designated communication channel on which the designated connector port on the input-output resource pool is located may be at any allowed time. In this embodiment, under the condition that the i/o resource pool is powered on, the designated communication channel where the designated connector port on the i/o resource pool is located may be immediately scanned to identify the designated type of resource pool mounted on the i/o resource pool, and since ID identification is immediately performed at the beginning of system power-on, system start time is not occupied. If the number of the resource pools of the specified type mounted on the input/output resource pool is multiple, after the input/output resource pool is powered on, the conflict caused by the same resource pool number can be avoided by identifying the resource pool of the specified type mounted on the input/output resource pool and reconfiguring the resource pool number for the resource pool of the specified type.

By the embodiment, the ID identification is immediately carried out at the initial time of system power-on, the system starting time is not occupied, and the system starting efficiency is improved.

s21, scanning a designated communication channel where a designated connector port on the input/output resource pool is located, and identifying a group of candidate connector port identifiers with corresponding addresses as designated addresses;

s22, determining the resource pool corresponding to the connector port identification meeting the preset identification condition in the candidate connector port identifications as a group of resource pools to be configured.

In this embodiment, the addresses corresponding to the specified connector ports of the specified type of resource pool mounted on the input/output resource pool may be all specified addresses, which may be addresses attached to the specified connector with a hardware of the same type. In order to simplify the process of scanning the designated communication channel where the designated connector port on the input/output resource pool is located, the connector port identifier corresponding to the designated address can be identified, so as to obtain a set of candidate connector port identifiers.

For each candidate connector port identifier, the type of the resource pool corresponding to the candidate connector port may be determined by identifying the resource pool identifier of the candidate connector port identifier, the resource pool identifier of the candidate connector port identifier may be extracted from the resource pool identifier field of the candidate connector port identifier, if the resource pool identifier of one candidate connector port identifier is a specified resource pool identifier (the specified resource pool identifier is used for identifying the resource pool corresponding to the specified type of resource pool), the resource pool corresponding to the candidate connector port identifier is a resource pool of the specified type, and the resource pool corresponding to each candidate connector port identifier in the set of candidate connector port identifiers including the resource pool identifier as the specified resource pool identifier may be determined as one resource pool to be configured, thereby obtaining a set of resource pools to be configured.

According to the embodiment, the resource pool of the appointed type mounted on the same input/output resource pool is identified by combining the address with the resource pool identification, so that the accuracy of identifying the resource pool can be improved.

In one exemplary embodiment, identifying a set of candidate connector port identifications having a corresponding address as a specified address by scanning a specified communication channel on which the specified connector port on the input-output resource pool is located comprises:

S31, scanning the appointed communication channel where the appointed connector port on the input/output resource pool is located, and identifying a group of candidate connector port identifications with the corresponding chip address as the appointed chip address.

Each designated connector port corresponds to a designated connector, and a designated chip is attached to each designated connector, where the designated chip may be used to store and configure a corresponding connector port identifier, and the type of the designated chip may be a PCA9544 chip (a small chip that converts an I2C signal into an IO signal, and may identify and convert 8 IO signals into an I2C protocol for external transmission), or may be other types of chips, and the chip addresses of the designated chips may be the same. In the process of scanning a designated communication channel where a designated connector port on an input/output resource pool is located, a chip address corresponding to the scanned connector port is identified, and a connector port identifier with the corresponding chip address being the designated chip address is determined as a candidate connector port identifier, so that a group of candidate connector port identifiers are obtained.

For example, as shown in fig. 4, each CDFP connector carries a PCA9554 chip for writing and storing of IDs. And scanning I2C channels where all CDFPs of the SSD Box are located through the IO Box BMC by taking the addresses of the PCA9554 chips attached to the CDFPs of the SSD Box as 0100010, identifying all PCA9554 with the addresses of 0100010, wherein the identified PCA9554 comprises PCA9554 attached to the CDFPs of the SSD Box.

It should be noted that, when the chip addresses of the designated chips in the different types of resource pools are the same address, a data reading conflict may occur, so the chip addresses of the designated chips in the different resource pools need to be set to different addresses to ensure that the ID is effectively read when any cable is terminated. For example, the PCA9548 addresses of the IO Box and the SSD Box should be set to different values, the PCA9548 address of the IO Box may be set to 0100001, and the PCA9548 addresses of all the SSD boxes may be set to 0100010.

By setting the chip addresses of the specified chips attached to the specified connectors of the specified types of resource pools mounted on the same input/output resource pool to the same address, the efficiency of resource pool identification can be improved.

In an exemplary embodiment, determining a resource pool corresponding to a connector port identifier satisfying a preset identifier condition in a set of candidate connector port identifiers as a set of resource pools to be configured includes:

s41, selecting a group of candidate connector port identifiers, wherein the contained resource pool identifiers are designated resource pool identifiers, and the contained connector numbers are connector port identifiers of designated connector port numbers, so as to obtain a group of target connector port identifiers, wherein the designated connector port numbers are connector port numbers of the N designated connector ports contained in the resource pool of a designated type, and N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1;

S42, respectively determining the resource pool corresponding to each target connector port identifier as a resource pool to be configured, and obtaining a group of resource pools to be configured.

The connector port identification of the designated connector port of the designated type of resource pool may contain a variety of information, which may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: the resource pool identification can be used for representing the type of the resource pool, the resource pool identification of the resource pool of the specified type is the specified resource pool identification, and the connector number is the number of the specified connector in the resource pool of the specified type to which the specified connector belongs. A resource pool of a specified type may have a plurality of specified connector ports that may send connector ports to the input-output resource pool through at least some of the plurality of specified connector ports, and thus a set of candidate connector port identifications may contain a plurality of candidate connector port identifications corresponding to the resource pool of a specified type. In order to improve the convenience of resource pool identification, only the connector port identification (N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1) of the nth designated connector port of the resource pool of the designated type may be identified, that is, the connector port identification of the resource pool identification, which is the connector port identification of the designated resource pool identification and the connector port number (i.e., the designated connector port number) of the nth designated connector port, is selected from a set of candidate connector port identifications, so as to obtain a set of target connector identifications.

Because the N appointed connector port of the resource pool of an appointed type corresponding to each target connector identifier, the resource pool corresponding to each target connector port identifier is respectively determined as a resource pool to be configured, and a group of resource pools to be configured is obtained.

For example, PCA9554 has 8-way IO inputs, and for the actual demand case of the SSD Box, a specific definition of SSD Box PCA9554 from bit7 to bit0 (i.e., CDFP port ID of CDFP connector of SSD Box) may be given: unlike IO boxes, there may be multiple SSD boxes within the overall system architecture, so bit7/6 of PCA9554 is used for differentiation of the same SSD boxes, i.e., SSD Box Num (SSD Box Number, i.e., SSD resource pool Number, default value may be 00). Since there are not only SSD Box but also GPU Box, memory Box, etc. different Box within the whole system architecture, bit5/4 of PCA9554 is defined herein as SSD Box ID (SSD resource pool identification) and bits 3 to 0 of PCA9554 are defined as CDFP Number (CDFP Number).

After the ID identification process is started, the IO Box can confirm that one SSD Box exists in the current system only by identifying bit5 to bit0 (010000) of the CDFP0 ID of the SSD Box from 40 CDFP ports, and additional data processing is not needed. Here, bits 5 to 0 of the SSD Box CDFP1 ID, bits 5 to 0 of the SSD Box CDFP2 ID, bits 5 to 0 of the SSD Box CDFP3 ID, bits 5 to 0 of the SSD Box CDFP4 ID, and bits 5 to 0 of the SSD Box CDFP4 ID may be identified, as long as bits 5 to 0 of a specific CDFP ID are identified.

According to the embodiment, the connector port identification comprising the designated resource pool identification and the designated connector number is selected from the candidate connector port identifications so as to identify the designated type of resource pool, so that the convenience of resource pool identification is improved.

In one exemplary embodiment, only the nth designated connector port on the designated type of resource pool is allowed to communicate with the designated connector port on the input-output resource pool on the designated communication channel when the connector port identification of the designated connector port of the designated type of resource pool is configured.

In this embodiment, as long as there is one specific connector port on the specific type of resource pool and the specific connector port on the input/output resource pool communicate on the specific communication channel, the identification of the specific type of resource pool can be achieved, and in order to reduce the data amount in the process of communicating the specific type of resource pool with the input/output resource pool, when the connector port identification of the specific connector port of the specific type of resource pool is configured, only the nth specific connector port on the specific type of resource pool and the specific connector port on the input/output resource pool can be allowed to communicate on the specific communication channel.

For example, to reduce the task amount of the IO Box BMC, only CDFP0 on the SSD Box is allowed to perform I2C communication with the CDFP corresponding to the IO Box.

By this embodiment, by allowing only a certain specified connector port on a specified type of resource pool to communicate with a specified connector port on an input-output resource pool, the amount of tasks for resource pool communication can be reduced.

In an exemplary embodiment, the number of bits of the connector port identification of the designated connector port of the resource pool of the designated type may be fixed, for example, 8 bits, and the type of information allowed to be recorded by the designated individual identification bits (one field may correspond to one or more identification bits) may be preset. In the connector port identification of the specified connector port of the specified type of resource pool, a resource pool number bit for recording the resource pool number, a resource pool identification bit for recording the resource pool identification, and a connector port number bit for recording the connector port number may be specified in advance.

For example, CDFP port IDs (PCA 9554 bit7 to bit 0) of SSD Box are defined as shown in table 1:

TABLE 1

Bits 3 to 0 of the PCA9554 are CDFP Number bits, are connector port Number bits, and are used for recording connector port numbers, bit5/4 is an SSD Box ID, is a resource pool identifier bit, is used for recording a resource pool identifier, and can represent at most 4 different resource pool types (i.e., by modifying the PCA9554 bit5/4, 4 different Device boxes can be finally identified in the whole system), bit7/6 is an SSD Box Number or SSD Box Code, is a resource pool Number bit, is used for recording a resource pool Number, and the SSD Box Num has four combination modes, so that 4 boxes can be defined (i.e., by modifying the PCA9554 bit7/6, the 4 identical Device boxes can be finally and effectively identified and distinguished in the whole system). All SSD PCA9554 addresses are: 0100010.

The SSD Box has 6 CDFP ports and the CDFP Number (PCA 9554 bit3 to bit 0) is defined based on the physical order of the CDFP as shown in Table 2.

TABLE 2

In summary, for different SSD Box numbers (SSD Box Node), the CDFP port IDs of all SSD boxes are defined as shown in table 3.

TABLE 3 Table 3

According to the above definition method of the CDFP port ID of the SSD Box, the CDFP port of each SSD Box may have its independent ID, and by analyzing the CDFP port ID, the SSD Box where the CDFP port is located and the number in the SSD Box may be determined.

Through the embodiment, the identification of the resource pool can be conveniently carried out by pre-designating each identification bit of the connector port identification, and the convenience of the identification of the resource pool is improved.

s51, scanning the appointed communication channel where the appointed connector port on the input/output resource pool is located through the baseboard control manager in the input/output resource pool so as to identify the resource pool of the appointed type mounted on the input/output resource pool.

In this embodiment, a baseboard control manager (BMC) in the input/output resource pool may scan a designated communication channel where a designated connector port on the input/output resource pool is located, so as to identify a designated type of resource pool mounted on the input/output resource pool, and identify a designated type of resource pool mounted on the input/output resource pool, which is similar to the foregoing, and will not be described herein.

For example, the BMC in the IO Box acts as the task initiator for the ID identification process. In the ID recognition structure, the IO Box BMC is used as a Host, subordinate ports are actively scanned, BMC I2C of the Device Box is used as a Slave end to receive instructions, and then the CDFP ID of the Device Box is modified, so that the original ID is modified.

According to the embodiment, the substrate control manager in the input/output resource pool is used for identifying the resource pool of the designated type mounted on the input/output resource pool, so that the efficiency of resource pool information processing can be improved.

s61, the I2C channel where the CDFP port on the input/output resource pool is located is scanned to identify the resource pool of the appointed type mounted on the input/output resource pool.

In this embodiment, the designated connector on the input/output resource pool may be a CDFP, the designated communication channel where the designated connector port on the input/output resource pool is located may be an I2C channel, and by scanning the I2C channel where the CDFP port on the input/output resource pool is located, the resource pool of the designated type mounted on the input/output resource pool may be identified.

For example, each CDFP port corresponds to a specific I2C channel, so as to ensure that when the SSD Box is installed, no matter under the CDFP port of which IO Box it is plugged in, no matter whether it is plugged in sequence, the specific I2C channel can be effectively identified by the BMC of the IO Box. The CDFP port of whichever Box is equipped with a PCA9554 for ID configuration and storage, the PCA9554 is hooked under the I2C channel corresponding to the CDFP.

By the embodiment, the I2C channel where the CDFP port on the input/output resource pool is located is scanned, so that the resource pool of the appointed type mounted on the input/output resource pool can be identified, and the reliability of the identification of the resource pool can be improved.

In one exemplary embodiment, scanning the I2C channel on which the CDFP port on the input-output resource pool is located to identify a specified type of resource pool mounted on the input-output resource pool, comprises:

S71, scanning an I2C channel where the CDFP port on the input/output resource pool is located to identify the SSD resource pool mounted on the input/output resource pool.

In this embodiment, the specified type of resource pool may be an SSD resource pool, where the I2C channel where the CDFP port on the input/output resource pool is located is scanned, and the SSD resource pool mounted on the input/output resource pool may be identified.

For example, after the IO Box is interconnected with the CDFP port of the SSD Box, the I2C of the IO Box can enter the SSD Box through the CDFP connector, so that I2C link communication between the IO Box and the SSD Box is realized.

Through the embodiment, the SSD resource pool mounted on the input/output resource pool can be identified by scanning the I2C channel where the CDFP port on the input/output resource pool is located, and the reliability of the identification of the SSD resource pool is improved.

In one exemplary embodiment, in the event that a set of resource pools to be configured of a specified type is identified, assigning a resource pool number to each resource pool to be configured comprises:

s81, under the condition that a plurality of resource pools to be configured of a specified type are identified, allocating a resource pool number for each resource pool to be configured according to the channel sequence of a corresponding specified communication channel;

S82, in the case that one resource pool to be configured of the specified type is identified, a resource pool number is allocated to the one resource pool to be configured.

In this embodiment, if the identified specified type of resource pool to be configured is multiple (i.e., a group of resource pools to be configured includes multiple resource pools to be configured), a resource pool number may be allocated to each resource pool to be configured according to a channel sequence of a specified communication channel corresponding to each resource pool, where the channel sequence of the specified communication channel corresponding to each resource pool may be a sequence in which a specified connector of each resource pool establishes a communication connection with an input/output resource pool through the specified communication channel, or a sequence in which channel numbers of the specified communication channels are allocated.

If the number of the identified resource pools to be configured of the specified type is one (a group of resource pools to be configured contains one resource pool to be configured), the resource pool number can be directly allocated to the resource pool to be configured, and the allocated resource pool number can be a specified number, for example, a minimum number, a maximum number, and the like.

For example, after the IO Box identifies CDFP0 of a plurality of SSD boxes, defining the sequence of the SSD boxes according to the sequence of the I2C channels corresponding to the CDFP0, if the I2C Channel corresponding to the CDFP0 of the SSD Box is the first Channel, the SSD Box is the first node, and correspondingly, the sequence of the I2C channels is back, and the sequence of the corresponding SSD boxes is back.

According to the method and the device, the resource pool numbers are allocated to the resource pools to be configured through the corresponding appointed communication channel sequence, different resource pool numbers can be allocated to the resource pools of the same type, effective distinction of the resource pools is achieved, and accuracy of resource pool information processing is improved.

In an exemplary embodiment, the above method further comprises:

s91, in the case that the number of the resource pools to be configured of the designated type is recognized to be larger than the maximum number of the resource pool numbers allowed to be allocated, abnormal alarm information is sent to the designated equipment.

In the connector port identifier of the specified connector port of the specified type of resource pool, the Number of bits of the resource pool Number bits used for recording the resource pool Number is a fixed value, the Number of allowed allocated resource pool numbers is limited, and in the case that the Number of the identified specified type of resource pool to be configured is greater than the maximum Number of allowed allocated resource pool numbers, the resource pool numbers cannot be allocated to all the resource pools to be configured, for example, in the CDFP port IDs of the SSD boxes, bit7 to bit6 indicate the SSD Box Number, only the Number can be performed for 4 SSD boxes, if the Number of the SSD boxes is identified to be greater than 4, the SSD Box Number cannot be allocated to all the SSD boxes, and abnormal alarm information can be sent to the specified device to indicate that the Number of the specified type of resource pool mounted on the input/output resource pool exceeds the maximum Number of allowed allocated resource pool identifiers.

By the embodiment, when the number of the resource pools to be configured is larger than the maximum number of the resource pool numbers allowed to be allocated, the abnormal alarm information is sent to the appointed equipment, so that the conflict of the allocation of the resource pool numbers can be avoided, and the reliability of the allocation of the resource pools is improved.

In an exemplary embodiment, after sending the resource pool number of each resource pool to be configured to each resource pool to be configured, the method further includes:

s101, in response to the received resource pool number, configuring the received resource pool number to a designated chip attached to a designated connector corresponding to a designated connector port of the resource pool to be configured through a substrate control manager of the resource pool to be configured.

For the resource pool to be configured, the designated connectors of the resource pool to be configured are attached with designated chips, and the designated chips are used for storing the connector identifiers of the corresponding designated connectors, and the types of the designated chips are similar to those in the foregoing embodiments and are not described in detail herein. After receiving the resource pool number, the baseboard control manager of the resource pool to be configured may configure the received resource pool number into a designated chip attached to a designated connector corresponding to the designated connector port of the resource pool to be configured, and then each designated connector port may have a different connector port identifier.

According to the embodiment, the received resource pool numbers are configured to the appointed chip attached to the appointed connector, so that each connector port has different connector port identifications, and the reliability of communication between the resource pools is improved.

In one exemplary embodiment, in response to a received resource pool number, configuring, by a baseboard control manager of a resource pool to be configured, the received resource pool number to a designated chip attached to a designated connector corresponding to a designated connector port of the resource pool to be configured, includes:

s111, in response to the received resource pool number, configuring the received resource pool number to a resource pool number input end of a specified chip attached to a specified connector of the resource pool to be configured through a substrate control manager of the resource pool to be configured.

In this embodiment, the designated chip has M input terminals, each of which is used for inputting an identification bit of a connector port identifier of a designated connector port, where, among the M input terminals, an input terminal corresponding to a resource pool number bit in the connector port identifier of the designated connector port is a resource pool number input terminal, for example, a PCA9554 chip has 8 paths of IO inputs, and the 7 th and 8 th input terminals (bit 7/6) are resource pool number bits (SSD Box Num).

After the resource pool to be configured receives the resource pool number, the resource pool number can be configured to the resource pool number input end of the appointed chip attached to the appointed connector of the resource pool to be configured through the substrate control manager of the resource pool to be configured, so that the configuration of the connector port identification of the appointed connector port of the resource pool to be configured is realized. Here, before the resource pool number is received, the configuration of the connector port identifier is completed by configuring the resource pool number to the resource pool number input end only when the resource pool number is received, except that the resource pool number is a default value, in the connector port identifier recorded by the designated chip.

For example, after the SSD Box knows the own node sequence, the configuration of GPIOs (General Purpose Input/Output ) is performed through the own BMC. GPIO M1/M0 (GPIO 1/M0 represents a resource pool number input end) is respectively configured according to

node numbers

0, 1, 2 and 3 given by the IO Box BMC: 00. 01, 10, 11, and transmits bit7/6 of PCA9554 of SSD Box, then several identical SSD boxes have their own specific ID codes.

According to the embodiment, the received resource pool number is matched with the resource pool number input end of the appointed chip attached to the appointed connector, so that the appointed connector port has different connector port identifications, and convenience in configuration of the connector port is improved.

In an exemplary embodiment, the designated communication channels of the substrate control manager in the input/output resource pool are respectively expanded into a first number of designated communication channels through the signal expansion chip on the input/output resource pool, so as to obtain multiple paths of designated communication channels, wherein each path of designated communication channel corresponds to one designated connector port.

In the fusion architecture, the input/output resource pool is a management node of input/output resources, high-speed transmission of input/output data in the computer system can be realized through PCIe, and in the input/output resource pool, a signal expansion chip, for example, PCA9548 (a chip for expanding one path of I2C signals into multiple paths of I2C signals, for expanding the I2C resources) expands the designated communication channels of the baseboard control manager in the input/output resource pool, and expands one path of designated communication channels into a first number of designated communication channels, so as to obtain multiple paths of designated communication channels.

For example, the BMC in the IO Box is used as a task initiator of the ID identification process, and 1-path I2C channels of the BMC can be expanded into 5 paths through PCA9548 and are respectively connected to different CDFP ports. Each CDFP port corresponds to a specific I2C channel, when the SSD Box is installed, the CDFP ports of the SSD Box are spliced under any CDFP port of the IO Box according to any sequence, and the CDFP ports can be effectively identified by the BMC of the IO Box through one I2C channel.

According to the embodiment, the appointed communication channels of the substrate control manager in the input and output resource pools are expanded through the signal expansion chip, so that multiple paths of appointed communication channels can be obtained, and the communication efficiency between the resource pools is improved.

In one exemplary embodiment, a second number of input-output chips are included on the input-output resource pool, each input-output chip having a third number of designated connector ports.

On the input/output resource pool, the input/output resources can be expanded through the second number of input/output chips to obtain the designated connector ports on the input/output resource pool, wherein the input/output chips on the input/output resource pool can be PCIe Switch chips, each input/output chip can comprise the third number of designated connector ports, and the designated connector ports on the input/output resource pool are the product of the second number and the third number.

For example, PCIe resources from a plurality of different CPUs are expanded, networked and distributed through 8 PCIe Switch chips contained in an input/output resource pool, 8 PCIe Switch chips are contained in an IO Box, each chip has 5 CDFP ports, the whole IO Box has external CDFP ports, and each CDFP interface contains a set of PCIe5.0×16 (16 available PCIe5.0 lanes) high-speed IO signals.

According to the embodiment, the input/output resources are expanded through the input/output chip, a plurality of designated connector ports are obtained, and the communication efficiency between the resource pools can be improved.

In one exemplary embodiment, in the connector port identification of the designated connector port of the input-output resource pool, a chip identification bit for recording the input-output chip identification and a connector port number bit for recording the connector port number are designated in advance.

The connector port identification of the designated connector port of the input-output resource pool may include a chip identification bit for recording the input-output chip identification, a connector port number bit for recording the connector port number, etc., wherein the chip identification bit and the connector port number bit may be designated in advance. Each designated connector on the input/output resource pool may be attached with a designated chip for writing and storing the connector port identification of the corresponding designated connector.

For example, each CDFP connector of the IO Box is attached with a PCA9554 chip for writing and storing an ID, and since PCA9554 has 8 paths of IO inputs, the number of bits of the ID stored by PCA9554 is 8 bits, so in the definition table of the CDFP port ID of the IO Box shown in table 4, the address of the PCA9554 chip corresponding to all the CDFPs of the IO Box is 010001, for each PCA9554, bit7:5 is SW ID, i.e., ID of PCIe Switch chip, bit4:3 defaults to 0, and bit2:0 is CDFP number, i.e., CDFP number.

As shown in table 5, for 8 PCIe Switch chips, different IDs may be set respectively for distinguishing PCIe Switch branches to which each CDFP port belongs.

TABLE 5

The definition of the IO Box CDFP port ID is obtained according to the definition mode of the IO Box CDFP port ID, and is shown in table 6.

TABLE 6

For example, a complete mapping relationship can be established after the IO Box is scanned, and a data instruction can be accurately sent to a specific port of a specific Box.

It should be noted that, although only the nth designated connector port on the designated type of resource pool and the designated connector port on the input/output resource pool may be allowed to communicate on the designated communication channel when the connector port identification of the designated connector port on the designated type of resource pool is configured, when the mapping relationship between the designated connector port on the input/output resource pool and the designated connector port on the resource pool to be configured is obtained by rescanning, all the designated connector ports on the designated type of resource pool and the designated connector ports on the input/output resource pool are allowed to communicate on the designated communication channel.

By means of the method and the device, the mapping relation between the designated connector ports on the input and output resource pools and the designated connector ports on the resource pools to be configured can be determined by scanning the designated communication channels where the designated connector ports on the input and output resource pools are located again, so that accurate sending of communication signals is ensured, and accuracy of communication between the resource pools is improved.
