Fig. 5 is a flowchart of a method for managing U-bits of a rack in a data center according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. The order of the steps in the flow chart may be changed and some may be omitted according to different needs.
As shown in fig. 5, the method includes the following steps.
S1, detecting an in-place signal of the electronic tag.
And S2, transmitting node information of the server node to the electronic tag chip in response to the electronic tag being in place.
And S3, responding to the fact that the electronic tag is out of position, and sending alarm information to the out-of-machine-room management system.
It can be understood that the method is executed by the server node, when the electronic tag is detected to be in place, node information is sent to the electronic tag chip, and if the electronic tag is detected to be out of place, an alarm is sent.
In an alternative embodiment, the method also detects whether the node information has changed, and transmits new node information to the electronic tag chip in response to the node information having changed. The node information comprises an IP address, an SN asset number, a server configuration, a startup and shutdown state and abnormal state information of the server node.
When the electronic tag chip is connected with the server node through the electronic tag management controller, node information of the server node is transmitted to the electronic tag management controller, and then the electronic tag management controller writes the node information into the electronic tag chip.
After the server is connected with an external power supply, the BMC detects an in-place signal of the electronic identification tag, and when the in-place signal of the electronic identification tag is detected, the server writes the IP address, the SN asset number, the server configuration, whether in-place and power supply, the on-off state and abnormal or positioning state information in the server into an electronic tag chip through an electronic tag chip management interface. When the second embodiment is realized, writing is performed through the MCU in the electronic identification tag, and the MCU writes the server in-place signal and the power supply indication signal into the electronic tag chip; when implemented based on the third embodiment described above, the server BMC writes directly to the electronic tag, and the server provides the bit signal and the power indication signal for direct sampling by the sampler in the U-bit asset identification strip. When the server is powered on, the updated data can be written into the electronic identification label again by the server when the in-place signal of the electronic identification label of the server is not available, the IP address is changed, the on-off state is changed, and the important abnormality or positioning state information is changed. When the server recognizes that the electronic recognition tag is not in place, the server can also select whether to alarm the machine room out-of-band management system according to the set value.
The U-bit management host reads the server in-place information, the power supply state, the IP address inside the server, the SN asset number, the server configuration, whether to in-place and power supply, on-off, and abnormal or positioning state information in the electronic identification chip at regular time, when implementing based on the second embodiment, the U-bit management host triggers the MCU in the electronic identification tag to update the server in-place signal and the power supply information into the electronic tag chip, and when implementing based on the third embodiment, the U-bit management host directly acquires the server in-place signal and the power supply information from the sampler in the U-bit asset identification strip.
