In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments It is a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of this application.

With the rapid development of IT technology, traditional information services and increasingly powerful cloud computing services require higher and higher server stability. The increase in demand from major manufacturers has also increased the workload of production line staff. Hundreds of machines shipped out of the factory need to be flashed in IP (Internet Protocol) addresses according to the requirements specified by customers, and firmware refreshing and other tasks are completed manually, which is a waste of manpower and time, and is low in efficiency. Based on the above technical problems, this embodiment provides a BMC IP setting method, which can improve the efficiency of BMC (Baseboard Management Controller, baseboard management controller) IP setting. For details, please refer to FIG. 1, which is a method provided by an embodiment of this application. A flowchart of a BMC IP setting method, including:

S110. The system operation module reads the OS configuration file;

The system operation module obtains the OS (operating system, operating system) configuration file OS_ip.txt through the communication module. The specific embodiment does not limit the communication module, and it may be a wired network or a wireless network. The OS configuration file includes the system IPs of multiple systems. For example, the OS configuration file includes the first system IP, the second system IP, the third system IP, and the fourth system IP. This embodiment does not limit the number of system IPs. Users can customize the settings. It can be understood that the BMC IP corresponding to the system IP in this embodiment is not set randomly, but is the only corresponding BMC IP determined by the user.

S120. Determine the system IP of the current system from the OS configuration file;

Determine the system IP of the current system from the OS configuration file, where the current system refers to the system corresponding to the BMC IP currently being set up. The specific method of determining the system IP can be based on the identification information of the current system and all of the OS configuration files. The identification information of the system IP of the system is matched, and the matching is successful, and the system IP of the current system is obtained.

S130. Detect the connection state with the current system;

The purpose of this step is to detect the connected state, and step S140 can be executed only after the connection is made.

If it is not connected, skip the current system, record the system IP, and determine that the next system is the new current system; perform the steps of determining the system IP of the current system from the OS configuration file.

S140. If it is connected, send a setting instruction corresponding to the system IP to the BMC in the current system, so that the BMC determines the corresponding BMC IP according to the setting instruction, and sets the BMC IP through the IPMI command.

Among them, only after connecting with the current system can you access the inside of the system through the system IP of the operating system, and then through the KCS (Keyboard Controller Style, keyboard controller specification) in the IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) protocol The BMC system sends a setting command corresponding to the system IP to the BMC, where the setting command includes a setting command and the system IP. At this time, the BMC can use the Shell script to perform the operation of setting the BMC IP. Specifically, the BMC can determine the BMC IP according to the setting instruction, and set the corresponding BMC IP to the BMC through the IPMI command.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the BMC IP settings of batches of BMC are performed based on the SHELL scripting language, and the system IP of the existing operating system is used to access the inside of the current system, and the BMC system is accessed through KCS in the IPMI protocol, and the BMC system is accessed through IPMI commands. Each BMC sets the corresponding BMC IP. Among them, the BMC configuration file with the BMC IP stored corresponding to the corresponding OS configuration file with the OS IP can be listed in the txt file, so that the corresponding BMC IP can be directly obtained from the corresponding list .

Based on the above technical solution, this embodiment uses the system operation module to determine the system IP of the current system from the OS configuration file. When the system operation module is connected to the current system, it sends a setting instruction corresponding to the system IP to the BMC to realize automatic BMC setting BMC IP, through the above operations, the BMC IP settings of all BMCs are implemented in turn, avoiding the inefficiency of manually setting BMC IP in related technologies and improving user experience.

In an achievable embodiment, detecting the connection status with the current system includes: sending a ping command to the current system; if the feedback information is received, the connection status is determined to be connected; if the feedback information is not received, then the connection status is determined The connected state is not connected.

Specifically, send a ping (Packet Internet Groper) command, that is, ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol, control message protocol) echo request information to the current system, and report that the received feedback information is the ICMP echo response, and only receive The feedback information indicates that it is connected. Further, if the feedback information is received, determining that the connected state is connected, including: if the feedback information is received, judging whether the time difference for receiving the feedback information is less than a preset threshold, and if it is less than the preset threshold, determining that the connected state is connected, If it is greater than the preset threshold, it is determined to be disconnected. Among them, the calculation of the time difference is that the time stamp of sending the ping command is a, and the time stamp of receiving the feedback information is b, then the time difference is b-a. It is understandable that when the preset threshold is exceeded, it proves that the system connection may be faulty or unstable. The BMC IP setting in this state may be stored in the occurrence of setting failure or long setting time. Therefore, the success rate of BMC IP setting can be guaranteed through the above method.

In an achievable implementation, if it is connected, after sending the setting instruction corresponding to the system IP to the BMC in the current system, it also includes: judging whether the BMC IP settings of all BMCs are completed; All BMC IP setting results of BMC are displayed on the preset interface.

It is understandable that this application is to set BMC IP in large quantities. Therefore, after performing steps S110-S140, determine that the next system is the current system, and continue to perform steps S110-S140 until all BMC IP settings are completed. When all the BMC IP settings are completed, the BMC IP setting results of all BMCs are displayed on the preset interface. Specifically, if the BMC IP setting results of all BMCs are displayed on the preset interface, the setting is successful. Print out "pass", otherwise it will print out fail and distinguish it by different colors. It can be seen that the setting result can be obtained simply and clearly through the above method.

Two configuration files are set up, including the OS configuration file (OS_IP.txt) and the BMC configuration file, including the existing os_ip( System IP) and the corresponding BMC_ip (BMC IP) to be set. According to the os_ip listed in OS_IP.txt, each of the os_ips listed in the OS_IP.txt will be accessed inside the system. First, determine whether the current system can be pinged. If it can be pinged, use the ssh command to enter In the current system, control the BMC to set the ip address (BMC IP) through the ipmi command. If the ping fails, skip this os_ip.
