TW581949B - Method for making blade server released from position by remote control - Google Patents

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for making blade server released from jumping out of position by remote control. The method is to connect a plurality of blade servers installed on at least one rack to a network switch, and the network switch is further connected to a computer system at a master site, so that a maintenance manager can issue the commands from the computer system at the master site, and control any one of the blade servers at the remote site through the network switch to make the latch for the blade server installed and positioned on the rack to be released from the rack. Thus, the maintenance manager can rapidly find out the location for the blade server with the released latch, and rapidly proceed the replacement or maintenance operation. Therefore, the present invention is able to not only greatly reduce the time and human resources required by the conventional searching and checking, but also effectively reduce the operation cost of the operator.

Description

Background of the Invention ... The f invention relates to a method for causing a blade feeder to jump out of position, and in particular, to use the remote control of the present invention to make one of the hooks jump out of position: :: Quickly find the blade-type temple server, not only for the purpose of operating costs. To serve ... knowledge, can also effectively reduce the previous skills of the industry: God, # ί 4 3This world is an information electronics & 'And each The development of this industry: The internal server has been widely used in the market. The chip server (Made Server) will become the server j = stream product. Do not host this blade server again. It is a low-cost server platform with high availability and high density (High Availability High Density, referred to as HAHD). It has a wide range of applications, especially for special application industries ^ such as: telecommunications, Finance and Web host operations ... etc.) and high-density meter tubes, design (such as: data acquisition, digital image design ... etc.), which-a blade servo | § is actually a system motherboard, similar to An independent server, and then each blade server is placed in a rack to form a cabinet; in this mode, each motherboard will run its own system to serve the different user groups specified, They are not connected to each other but they can use a system software to integrate these motherboards into one server. 581949 V. Description of the invention (2) Server cluster; provide high-speed group services together. However, the use of this has reduced too much, but if it is taken from the server where it is occupied, the computer room in the cluster computer room has to go to the blade servo protection operation. The server does not meet the economic efficiency. Under the server cluster mode, the network environment can share all the motherboards can connect resources, saving empty wire winding for the same user effect ... a lot, but relatively high density Or one-dimensional for abnormal network management, the advantages of finding out server cabinets, power cords, network computers using the machine to expand the computer room, the spatial density increases; therefore, when a blade server is ready to be inserted into the cabinet cluster Clustering in a cabinet can greatly increase the benefits of cluster computers, and at the same time increase the density in addition to the benefits provided by routes and keyboards, and then create a network-managed server operation replacement. The time-consuming one by one new blade working normally. In the network management room, there are other benefits such as adult human resources and extra resources. Obviously, the server guard of the blade is discovering, or when its gatekeeper or maintainer needs to be replaced, in order to carry out the burden of the maintainer or maintainer on a high maintenance operation, and a great waste of time . Summary of the Invention: In view of the foregoing, in the traditional server cluster computer room of the network, when the protection is replaced, it searches for each of the disadvantages of the created dishes one by one. The inventor has to develop this invention. The administrator or maintainer of this invention owes a high-density name to the time-consuming process of maintaining a blade server, which is not in line with the economic experience of many years of practical experience and research. Remote control

V. Description of the invention (3) Any blade type. The location of Bartap allows the righteous person or maintainer to quickly find the blade server. The method of Shilu Luming provides-a method that can further simplify its time-consuming one by one ::: This issue: the blade server Process' to effectively reduce the industry: the camp also enables one step of the present invention to be understood and understood, hereby: The purpose of the present invention is to order a plurality of blade-type server, which can be divided into a network switch and a master The controller of the control end can use any of the blade-type servos on the remote end of the computer-based switch on the main control end | § to install and locate at the trip. The maintenance manager can easily find the The blade server is used for replacement or maintenance operations; in this way, the time and manpower required to find it, and to catch up with the rapid installation of one or more cabinets connected to a network switch in today's electronic age, are connected to a computer system. Connected, the maintenance system issues instructions to control through the network server, so that a hook on the cabinet, the hook from the cabinet, quickly in its computer server Where Home, it quickly 'not only can significantly reduce one by one can effectively reduce the operating costs of traditional industry, the tone of the demand. The purpose, step characteristics, and its effects are further illustrated in the following examples. The detailed description is as detailed below: The cabinets are assembled together: Blade servers, (Blade Server) are assembled to effectively save space, but also have reduced Excessive power, entanglement of keyboard wires, etc., so this cabinet will become
