Detailed Description
For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
The BMC supports various functions and services, such as a web interface, a virtual machine (Kernel-based Virtual Machine, KVM) management module, a Redfish service, an MCTP service and the like, can automatically monitor information such as temperature, voltage, state and the like of important components of a server, and can control information such as fan rotation speed and the like in real time, so that normal operation of the whole server is ensured; meanwhile, the BMC is responsible for recording state change information and fault logs of the components, is convenient for subsequent fault analysis and reason positioning, and supports the user side to perform more diversified operation and management according to own requirements.
MCTP is used as an information transmission control protocol supporting information transmission among terminals, gateways and intermediate nodes of the network, and defines configuration parameters, request/response message structures and the like which must be used in the information transmission process, so as to ensure that the system successfully transmits information according to user requests. The MCTP protocol related functions and the instruction list comprise an authentication function, a message transmission function, a configuration management function and a connection function, and the use of the functions and the protocol instructions can effectively ensure the security of network access, ensure the reliability of information transmission in a network environment and are important guarantees for data exchange of end users and enterprise systems. And the terminal devices managed through the MCTP protocol are called MCTP devices, such as network cards and hard disks.
The user side obtains the configuration information of the MCTP device from the BMC external server side interface, and interacts with the MCTP device through the MCTP protocol, so as to achieve the purpose of managing and monitoring the MCTP device. When the server is not restarted by the whole machine, only the BMC or a service (such as MCTP service) under the BMC is restarted, the physical device configuration of the server is not changed, and the BMC is required to send a device discovery request to reestablish the connection with the MCTP device because the BMC is restarted (or the MCTP service is restarted) under the conventional condition.
However, the rediscovery process of the MCTP device after the BMC is restarted is time-consuming (only one or two device information can be found at a time), and at this time, the external (user side) monitors and manages the service for the MCTP device, and because the MCTP device cannot be accessed for a long time, it is considered that the MCTP device has an abnormality of card or disk failure, and a false alarm is generated.
The invention aims at the problem that in the restarting process of the BMC, connection with all MCTP devices is required to be established again in a device discovery mode, so that a large number of abnormal false alarms caused by time consumption are caused. And discovering the equipment when the MCTP service normally operates, and simultaneously storing configuration information corresponding to the equipment in a file. When the BMC restarts the MCTP service next time, the process of rediscoverying the device is skipped, and the information for establishing connection with the MCTP device is directly obtained from the file, so that the connection with the MCTP device is established again at the fastest speed, and the influence on the service is reduced to the minimum.
Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a device management method provided by the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the present invention provides a device management method, including:
step 101, after the baseboard management controller is restarted, judging whether a device configuration file exists in the baseboard management controller, wherein the device configuration file is constructed by device configuration information of a plurality of management component transmission protocol devices.
In the invention, when the BMC is restarted, the MCTP service process is started at the moment, the BMC can detect whether the existing file of the BMC comprises a device configuration file or not by executing a self-checking process, for example, the conf partition file is detected, and because the file can be reserved and not lost after the BMC is restarted, the device configuration information of a plurality of MCTP devices connected before the BMC is restarted is stored in the conf partition file, thereby forming a conf/mctp_device file (namely the device configuration file), and further judging whether the conf/mctp_device file exists or not after the BMC is restarted.
Step 102, if the equipment configuration file exists, establishing connection between the baseboard management controller and each management component transmission protocol equipment according to the equipment configuration file.
In the invention, under the condition that the existence of the device configuration file is determined, the device configuration information in the device configuration file, such as the physical address information and the electronic tag information (such as unique Identifier End-to-End Identifier, EID for short) of each MCTP device, is analyzed, and the information is stored, so that the BMC directly establishes connection with the corresponding MCTP device through the information.
In an embodiment, the method further comprises:
and if the equipment configuration file does not exist, sending an equipment discovery request through the baseboard management controller so as to establish connection between the baseboard management controller and each management component transmission protocol equipment.
In the invention, when the BMC is restarted and the device configuration file is not detected, the BMC executes the original MCTP process starting flow, namely, the BMC is connected with the discovered MCTP device by sending the device discovery request.
Further, the BMC interacts with the MCTP devices for establishing connection to acquire the state information of each MCTP device in real time so as to realize corresponding monitoring and management of the devices.
According to the device management method provided by the invention, after the substrate management controller is restarted, when the device configuration file exists in the substrate management controller, the connection between the substrate management controller and each management component transmission protocol device can be established directly according to the device configuration file, compared with the connection established in the existing device discovery mode, after the MCTP service is restarted, the connection efficiency between the BMC and the MCTP device is improved, and meanwhile, the abnormal false alarm rate of the device is reduced.
On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, before the determining whether a device configuration file exists in the baseboard management controller, the method further includes:
when each management component transmission protocol device is electrified for the first time, establishing connection between the substrate management controller and each management component transmission protocol device, and constructing device configuration information according to physical address information and electronic tag information of each management component transmission protocol device;
saving the equipment configuration information into a target file in the baseboard management controller to obtain the equipment configuration file;
the establishing connection between the baseboard management controller and each management component transmission protocol device according to the device configuration file comprises the following steps:
and establishing connection between the baseboard management controller and each management component transmission protocol device according to the physical address information and the electronic tag information.
In the invention, when the MCTP device is powered on for the first time, the BMC establishes connection with the MCTP device through device discovery, and stores relevant configuration information (such as physical address, electronic tag information and the like) of the MCTP device into a target file (such as conf partition file), thereby constructing and obtaining a device configuration file. After the BMC executes the restarting operation, connection with the MCTP devices connected before is not required to be established in a device discovery mode, and connection with the MCTP devices can be established quickly only through the configuration information of each MCTP device obtained by analyzing the device configuration file, so that abnormal false alarm caused by long-time connection establishment is avoided.
On the basis of the above embodiment, after the connection between the baseboard management controller and each management component transmission protocol device is established according to the device configuration file if the device configuration file exists, the method further includes:
transmitting a device discovery request through the baseboard management controller, and determining a target management component transmission protocol device, wherein the target management component transmission protocol device is a newly-added management component transmission protocol device to be accessed after the baseboard management controller transmits the device discovery request;
establishing a connection between the baseboard management controller and the target management component transmission protocol device, updating the device configuration file according to the device configuration information of the target management component transmission protocol device to obtain an updated device configuration file, and establishing the connection between the baseboard management controller and each management component transmission protocol device according to the updated device configuration file after the next restarting of the baseboard management controller.
In the invention, the BMC also continuously sends a request for discovering the MCTP device in the process of running the MCTP service so as to discover the new MCTP device. Therefore, in the present invention, when the BMC discovers a new MCTP device (i.e., a target MCTP device), EID information and physical address information of the target MCTP device are additionally filled into the mctp_device file, thereby obtaining an updated device configuration file. In the subsequent BMC restarting operation, for the newly-added MCTP devices, the BMC can establish connection according to the updated device configuration file, so as to realize dynamic monitoring and management of the MCTP devices.
On the basis of the above embodiment, after the connection between the baseboard management controller and each management component transmission protocol device is established according to the device configuration file if the device configuration file exists, the method further includes:
acquiring a plurality of pieces of real-time equipment configuration information based on a preset period, wherein the plurality of pieces of real-time equipment configuration information are equipment configuration information of the management component transmission protocol equipment which is connected with the baseboard management controller currently;
matching a plurality of pieces of equipment configuration information in the equipment configuration file with a plurality of pieces of real-time equipment configuration information, and taking the equipment configuration information which is not successfully matched in the equipment configuration file as restarting equipment configuration information;
and establishing connection between the management component transmission protocol equipment corresponding to the restarting equipment configuration information and the baseboard management controller.
In the invention, by setting a preset period, the BMC regularly acquires the device configuration information of the currently connected MCTP device to obtain a plurality of real-time device configuration information, matches the real-time device configuration information with the information in the device configuration file, and if part of the MCTP devices are restarted, the situation that part of the real-time device configuration information (namely the restarting device configuration information) is not successfully matched can occur, at the moment, the BMC can establish connection with the MCTP devices which have completed restarting operation according to the real-time device configuration information which is not successfully matched, thereby improving the connection efficiency of the MCTP devices after restarting.
On the basis of the above embodiment, the method further includes:
when a server where the baseboard management controller is located executes a restarting process, judging whether management component transmission protocol equipment corresponding to a configuration file in the server is consistent with management component transmission protocol equipment corresponding to the equipment configuration file, and if not, deleting the equipment configuration file.
In the invention, when maintenance personnel need to change the device configuration of the server where the BMC is located, such as adding a plurality of hardware devices, the server needs to be restarted. Further, during the restarting process of the server, firstly, a configuration file in the server (in which new hardware devices are recorded) is obtained, if MCTP devices corresponding to the updated configuration file in the server are inconsistent with MCTP devices corresponding to the device configuration file in the BMC before restarting, the mctp_device file in the BMC needs to be deleted, after the restarting of the server is completed, the BMC reestablishes corresponding connection in a device discovery manner, and generates a corresponding mctp_device file according to new device configuration information.
The device management apparatus provided by the present invention will be described below, and the device management apparatus described below and the device management method described above may be referred to correspondingly to each other.

In the present invention, when the BMC is restarted, at this time, the MCTP service process is started, and the monitoring module 201 detects whether the existing file of the BMC includes a device configuration file by executing a self-checking process, for example, detects a conf partition file, and since the file can be reserved after the BMC is restarted and is not lost, device configuration information of a plurality of MCTP devices connected to the MCTP device before the BMC is restarted is saved in the conf partition file, so as to form a conf/mctp_device file (i.e., a device configuration file), and further, after the BMC is restarted, the monitoring module 201 determines whether the conf/mctp_device file exists.
Further, when the monitoring module 201 determines that the device configuration file exists, the processing module 202 parses the device configuration information in the device configuration file, such as physical address information and electronic tag information (such as unique Identifier End-to-End Identifier, EID for short) of each MCTP device, and stores the information, so that the BMC directly establishes a connection with the corresponding MCTP device through the information.
When the BMC is restarted and the monitoring module 202 does not detect the device configuration file, the BMC executes the original MCTP process start procedure, that is, by sending a device discovery request, so as to connect with the discovered MCTP device. Finally, the BMC interacts with the MCTP devices which establish the connection to acquire the state information of each MCTP device in real time so as to realize corresponding monitoring and management of the devices.
According to the device management device provided by the invention, after the substrate management controller is restarted, when the device configuration file exists in the substrate management controller, the connection between the substrate management controller and each management component transmission protocol device can be established directly according to the device configuration file, compared with the connection established in the existing device discovery mode, after the MCTP service is restarted, the connection efficiency between the BMC and the MCTP device is improved, and meanwhile, the abnormal false alarm rate of the device is reduced.
On the basis of the above embodiment, the apparatus further includes a configuration information acquisition module and an equipment configuration file construction module, where the configuration information acquisition module is configured to establish connection between the baseboard management controller and each management component transmission protocol device when each management component transmission protocol device is powered on for the first time, and construct the equipment configuration information according to physical address information and electronic tag information of each management component transmission protocol device; the device configuration file construction module is used for storing the device configuration information into a target file in the baseboard management controller to obtain the device configuration file;
the processing module is specifically configured to establish connection between the baseboard management controller and each management component transport protocol device according to the physical address information and the electronic tag information.
On the basis of the above embodiment, the processing module is further configured to send, if the device configuration file does not exist, a device discovery request through the baseboard management controller, so as to establish a connection between the baseboard management controller and each management component transport protocol device.
On the basis of the above embodiment, the apparatus further includes a device discovery module and a configuration file updating module, where the device discovery module is configured to send a device discovery request through the baseboard management controller, and determine a target management component transport protocol device, where the target management component transport protocol device is a new management component transport protocol device to be accessed by the baseboard management controller after sending the device discovery request; the configuration file updating module is used for establishing connection between the baseboard management controller and the target management component transmission protocol equipment, updating the equipment configuration file according to the equipment configuration information of the target management component transmission protocol equipment to obtain an updated equipment configuration file, and establishing connection between the baseboard management controller and each management component transmission protocol equipment according to the updated equipment configuration file after the next restarting of the baseboard management controller.

On the basis of the above embodiment, the apparatus further includes a configuration file deleting module, configured to determine, when the server where the baseboard management controller is located executes the restarting process, whether a management component transmission protocol device corresponding to a configuration file in the server is consistent with a management component transmission protocol device corresponding to the device configuration file, and if not, delete the device configuration file.

In the invention, aiming at the problem that the MCTP device rediscoveres long time after the existing BMC is restarted, the existing BMC is improved, the device management device described in each embodiment is arranged in the BMC, so that the BMC can reserve the configuration information backup of the MCTP device in the/conf partition file of the BMC (the BMC is not lost during restarting), and when the BMC is restarted (the MCTP process is restarted), whether the BMC has saved the MCTP device information is judged by detecting whether the mctp_device file of the/conf partition exists or not. Meanwhile, when the MCTP service discovers new equipment, the physical address and EID information of the new equipment are updated into a dynamic linked list, and equipment configuration files are updated according to the configuration information of the new equipment. And after the BMC is restarted, if the file for storing the MCTP equipment information exists, the preparation action of MCTP equipment discovery is not performed, the file is directly analyzed to acquire the equipment information, and the problem that the MCTP equipment discovery process takes too long in the existing MCTP service starting process is avoided.
In an embodiment, when the server keeps the on state all the time, if the MCTP service under the BMC is restarted, the BMC acquires EID information and physical address information interacted with the MCTP device based on the stored mctp_device file, and does not re-perform the preparation and the process of discovering the device in the MCTP service starting process, so that the connection is established with the MCTP device, and the connection is put into operation earlier, so that the influence on the server deployment service is reduced with minimum cost.
