Description

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communication, specifically to a method, module and security system when turned on.

State of the art

A blade server is a low-cost server platform with high availability, high density (VGVP) and specially designed for special applications and high-density computing environments. In a blade server, each “blade” is a system motherboard in operation and is similar to an independent server. In this mode, each motherboard works with its own system to serve various specified user groups without interconnection with each other. However, system software can be used to integrate these motherboards into a server cluster. In cluster mode, all motherboards can be connected to provide a high-speed network environment, exchange resources, and serve the same user group.

In the application solutions of traditional blade servers, engineers and technicians install and configure the blade servers in accordance with the user's instructions for the product; however, since blade servers with different specifications have similarities in appearance and structure, it is easy to incorrectly connect blade servers to the slots of blade enclosures. In addition, the field replacement element (EPCA) of the blade server or the machine chassis device in the blade enclosure is incompatible with the blade server, which may cause a mixed connection between the blade server and the incompatible EZPU or machine chassis device.

Because improper power-up and mixed connectivity easily occur in standard manually configured blade servers, improper power-ups can lead to problems, such as malfunctioning and device errors, that are difficult to find and diagnose.

Multiple blade servers 121 and a motherboard control controller (KUMP) constitute a cluster of blade servers 12 in a blade enclosure. Each blade server can contain an independent KUMP. The KUMP of the blade server can control the power supply, alarms, monitoring or the like on the blade server after the blade server is inserted into the machine body. A blade server is a blade server that is configured to process functions and support the execution of software functions.

2 is a flowchart of a second embodiment of a power-on protection method. The method basically includes the following.

Step 201: installation information and installation information of the blade server configuration file in the blade housing can be obtained.

In particular, the configuration file installation information is configuration strategy information regarding setting up the blade server in the blade case, that is, the installation configuration file describes information on how to install the blade server in the blade case; and the installation configuration file may include, but is not limited to, one or more of the following configuration strategy information:

- information of the first configuration strategy, which instructs to set the specified blade server at a specified position in the blade enclosure, for example, a list of sockets in the blade enclosure corresponding to the types of blade servers;

- information of the second configuration strategy, which instructs to establish a consistent relationship between the electronic information of the front patch panel and the electronic information of the rear patch panel of the blade server in the blade housing;

- information of the third configuration strategy, which instructs to install a blade server that has a consistent version relationship with the EZPU of the blade server in the blade enclosure, in which the blade server can be equipped with multiple EZPUs, and the blade server and each EZPU have a certain agreed ratio version. The third configuration strategy information describes compatibility information between a blade server and multiple EPCs, and the EPC can be one or more of the following: Gigabit-Internet board, hard disk board, fiber optic channel (FOC) card, small computer system interface (SCSI) card, serial SCSI card, optical module, etc .;

According to the previous configuration strategy information, the installation information of the blade server in the blade housing may include, but is not limited to, the following information:

- in relation to the information of the first configuration strategy, the installation information may be electronic information of the blade server inserted in the slot of the blade housing, and information about the position of the blade server in the blade housing; electronic tag information indicates a certain type of blade server, and position information indicates a slot where the blade server is actually inserted;

- regarding the information of the second configuration strategy, the installation information may be electronic information of the blade server inserted in the slot of the blade body, and the electronic information of the label includes electronic information of the front patch panel and electronic information of the rear patch panel;

- regarding the information of the third configuration strategy, the installation information may be electronic information of the blade server inserted in the slot of the blade body, and the EZPU information of the blade server; and

- in relation to the fourth configuration strategy information, the installation information may be electronic information of the blade server inserted in the blade body slot and information about the machine body device in the blade body.

Step 202: detect if the installation information is consistent with the installation information of the configuration file, and go to step 203 if the installation information matches the installation information of the configuration file; otherwise, go to step 204.

In particular, since the installation configuration file may include information of one or more configuration strategies, the detection may focus on one type of configuration strategy information or on multiple types of configuration strategy information.

If the installation information includes the electronic tag information of the blade server inserted in the blade housing slot and the position information of the blade server in the blade housing, and the installation file configuration information includes information about the first configuration strategy, it is judged whether the blade is installed - a server at the position indicated by the information of the first configuration strategy, in accordance with the electronic tag information, position information and information of the first configuration strategy; if the blade server is inserted at the position indicated by the information of the first configuration strategy, it is determined that the installation information matches the installation information of the configuration file; otherwise, it is determined that the installation information does not match the installation information of the configuration file.

If the installation information includes the electronic tag information of the blade server inserted in the socket of the blade body, and the electronic tag information includes the electronic label information of the front patch panel and the electronic tag information of the rear patch panel, and the installation information of the configuration file includes information of the second configuration strategies, it is evaluated whether the front patch panel and the rear patch panel of the blade server have a consistent relationship specified The information provided by the second configuration strategy information in accordance with the electronic information of the front patch panel, the electronic information of the rear patch panel and the information of the second configuration strategy. If the front patch panel and the rear patch panel of the blade server have a consistent relationship, it is determined that the installation information matches the installation information of the configuration file; otherwise, it is determined that the installation information does not match the installation information of the configuration file.

If the installation information includes the electronic tag information of the blade server inserted in the blade housing slot and the blade server EZP information, and the configuration file installation information includes the third configuration strategy information, it is judged if the blade server and the blade EZPU have server consistent version ratio indicated by the third configuration strategy information, in accordance with the electronic tag information, the blade server EZPU information and the third configuration strategy information. If the blade server and the blade server EZPU have a consistent version ratio, it is determined that the installation information is consistent with the installation information of the configuration file; otherwise, it is determined that the installation information is not consistent with the installation information of the configuration file.

If the installation information includes the electronic tag information of the blade server inserted in the blade housing slot and the machine body device information in the blade housing, and the installation information of the configuration file includes information of the fourth configuration strategy, it is judged whether the blade server and the device of the machine body in the blade housing, the agreed version ratio indicated by the information of the fourth configuration strategy, in accordance with the information of the electronic tag, information about stroystve machine body in the blade frame and the fourth configuration strategy. If the blade server and the machine chassis device have a consistent version relationship, it is determined that the installation information is consistent with the installation information of the configuration file; otherwise, the installation information is not consistent with the installation information of the configuration file.

Step 203: when the installation information is consistent with the installation information of the configuration file, energy is supplied to the blade server.

In particular, step 203 may include determining that the act of turning on may be performed on the blade server when no energy is supplied to the blade server inserted in the slot of the blade body. For example, the power-up instruction can be sent to the motherboard control controller (KUMP), and the KUMP supplies power to the blade server in accordance with the power-on instructions and continues to supply power to the blade server when the blade server is inserted into the blade enclosure socket, summed up the power.

Step 204: when the installation information is not consistent with the installation information of the configuration file, energy may not be supplied to the blade server.

In particular, step 204 may include: a power-up action on a blade server may not be performed when the blade server inserted in the socket of the blade body is not powered; and the shutdown or reboot action on the blade server can be performed when the blade server inserted into the blade housing socket is energized, for example, when sending the power-off prohibition instruction to the KUMP, and the KUMP shuts down or reboots on the blade server in accordance with the instruction .

In the embodiment of the power-on protection method shown in FIG. 2, in step 202, it is detected whether the installation information is consistent with the installation information of the configuration file by obtaining the installation information of the blade server in the blade case and the installation information of the configuration file with respect to the setting of the blade server in the blade the housing at step 201; in step 203, power is supplied to the blade server if the installation information is consistent with the installation information of the configuration file; otherwise, at step 204, no power is supplied to the blade server; thus, it is easy to detect whether the blade server is connected and mixed in improperly, according to the installation information in the configuration file, and the power supply status of the device can be controlled in case of improper connection and mixed startup, thereby avoiding problems such as improper Operation and device error caused by improper power up.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of an operation method of a blade body in an embodiment of the present invention, and the method mainly includes the following.

Step 301: KUMP initializes the inclusion and reads the information of the electronic tag of the specified component inserted into the socket of the blade body, and information about the position of the specified component in the blade body. At this point, the blade server is not powered.

In one specific example, the read information is the electronic tag information of a given component inserted into the slot of the blade body and the position information of the blade server in the blade body.

Step 302: KUMP reports electronic tag information and position information to the control module to request inclusion for a given component (eg, blade server), and the requested information includes electronic tag information and position information.

Step 303: the control module receives electronic tag information and position information (eg, installation information of the blade server in the blade enclosure) and reads the installation configuration file that is stored in the control module and how to configure a predetermined component in the blade server.

In the previous examples, the installation configuration file includes information of the first configuration strategy, which describes the configuration of the specified blade server in the specified position of the blade enclosure. For example, the information of the first configuration strategy is a list of slots in the blade enclosure, according to the types of blade servers.

Step 304: the control module detects whether the electronic tag information and the position information are consistent with the installation information of the configuration file; if the electronic tag information and the position information are consistent with the installation information of the configuration file, step 305 is performed; otherwise, step 307 is performed.

In previous specific examples, the control module evaluates whether the blade server is installed at the position indicated by the information of the first configuration strategy in accordance with the electronic tag information, position information, and information of the first configuration strategy. If it is estimated that the blade server is installed at the position indicated by the information of the first configuration strategy, it is determined that the electronic tag information and the position information are consistent with the installation information of the configuration file, and step 305 is performed; otherwise, it is determined that the electronic tag information and the position information are not consistent with the installation information of the configuration file, and step 307 is performed.

Step 305: the control module sends a power-on indication to the ILCC.

Step 306: KUMP includes a blade server in accordance with the instructions on the inclusion.

Step 307: the control module sends a prohibition of switching on to the ILCC.

In another specific example, from step 301 to step 307, the installation file of the control module installation configuration includes information of a second configuration strategy. The second configuration strategy information instructs you to establish a consistent relationship between the electronic information of the front patch panel and the electronic information of the rear patch panel of the blade server in the blade enclosure. In particular, the example includes that the KUMP reads the electronic flag information of the front patch panel and the electronic flag information of the rear patch panel of the blade server (i.e., the actual configuration information) upon power-up initialization and reports the electronic mark information of the front patch panel and electronic information labels of the rear patch panel to the control module; the control module evaluates whether the front patch panel and the rear patch panel of the blade server have a consistent relationship indicated by the second configuration strategy information in accordance with the electronic mark information of the front patch panel, the electronic mark information of the rear patch panel and the second configuration strategy information; and if the front patch panel and the rear patch panel of the blade server have a coordinated relationship, it is determined that the installation information is consistent with the installation information of the configuration file, and the control module sends an enable permission to the KUMP; if the front patch panel and the rear patch panel of the blade server do not have an agreed ratio, it is determined that the installation information is not consistent with the installation information of the configuration file, and the control module sends an instruction to prohibit switching on to the KUMP.

In another specific example, from step 301 to step 307, the control module installation configuration file includes third configuration strategy information that instructs to install a blade server that has a coordinated version relationship with an EZPU of the blade server in the blade enclosure. In particular, the example includes that the KUMP reads the electronic label information of the blade server and the EZPU information of the blade server (i.e., the actual configuration information) and reports the electronic label information of the blade server and information about the EZPU of the blade server to the control module; the management module evaluates whether the blade server and the blade server EZPU have a consistent version ratio specified in the third configuration strategy information in accordance with the blade server electronic tag information, the blade server EZP information and the third configuration strategy information; and if the blade server and the EZPU of the blade server have an agreed version ratio, it is determined that the installation information is consistent with the installation information of the configuration file, and the control module sends an indication of the enable to the KUMP; if the blade server and the blade server EZPU do not have an agreed version ratio, it is determined that the installation information does not agree with the installation file configuration information, and the control module sends an instruction to prohibit switching on to the KUMP.

In another specific example, from step 301 to step 307, when the local installation file of the control module includes information of the fourth configuration strategy, which instructs to install a blade server that has a consistent version relationship with the machine body device in the blade case, then the KUMP can read blade server electronic tag information and machine body device information in the blade body (i.e., actual configuration information) and reports the blade electronic tag information d-server and machine body device information in the blade body to the control module; the control module evaluates whether the blade server and the machine body device in the blade body have an agreed version relationship prescribed by the fourth configuration strategy information in accordance with the electronic information of the blade server, the machine body device information in the blade body and the fourth configuration strategy information; if the blade server and the device of the machine case in the blade case have an agreed version ratio, it is determined that the installation information is consistent with the installation information of the configuration file, and the control module sends an indication of the enable to KUMP; otherwise, the installation information is not consistent with the installation information of the configuration file, and the control module sends an instruction to prohibit switching on to the KUMP.

In the embodiment of the power-on protection method shown in FIG. 3, the control module obtains the installation information of the blade server in the blade housing represented by the ILCC and the installation information of the local configuration file of the control module regarding setting up the blade server in the blade case by means of step 303; detecting whether the installation information is consistent with the installation information of the configuration file by step 304; if the installation information is consistent with the installation information of the configuration file, the control module sends a power-on indication to the KUMP through step 305, and the KUMP turns on the blade server through step 306; otherwise, the control module sends to the KUMP an instruction to prohibit inclusion on the blade server at step 307 so as not to turn on the blade server; thus, it is easy to detect whether the blade server is connecting improperly in accordance with the installation information of the configuration file, thereby avoiding problems such as malfunctioning and device errors caused by incorrect connection.

Another specific example from step 301 to step 307 at least includes steps from 301 to step 307 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3. In contrast to the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, this specific example has the following additional steps: in the embodiment, in addition to turning on the blade server in accordance with the enable enable instruction, the KUMP also produces a flash of indicator light indicative of a normal power supply, and performs an indication of the power state of the blade server.

In an embodiment, in addition to the lack of power supply to the blade server in accordance with the instruction to prohibit turning on, the KUMP also makes an alarm with lighting and indicates the status of the blade server when there is no turning on. In the embodiment of the power-on protection method shown in FIG. 3, the control module obtains the installation information of the blade server in the blade housing provided by the KUMP and the installation information of the local configuration file of the control module regarding setting up the blade server in the blade housing through step 303; the control module detects whether the installation information is consistent with the installation information of the configuration file by means of step 304; if the installation information is consistent with the installation information of the configuration file, the control module sends an enable enable request to the ILCC through step 305, and the ILCC turns on the blade server by means of step 306; otherwise, the control module sends an indication to the KUMP to prohibit inclusion on the blade server through step 307 so as not to turn on the blade server; thus, it is easy to detect whether the blade server is connecting improperly in accordance with the installation information of the configuration file, thereby avoiding problems such as malfunctioning and device errors caused by incorrect connection.

One embodiment includes at least steps 201-204 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, or steps 301-307 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3. Unlike those embodiments, this embodiment has the following additional steps: when the control module detects that the installation information is inconsistent with the installation information of the configuration file, in addition to sending instructions to prohibit turning on the KUMP, the control module also records the detection result in a synchronous protocol and sends a signal alarms to the top-level network management system using a standard protocol (for example, a simple network management protocol (SNMP)).

Another embodiment includes at least steps 201-204 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, or steps 301-307 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3. Unlike those embodiments, this embodiment has the following additional steps: the control module can provide a standard interface for receiving updated information (for example, updated instructions carrying a new installation configuration file) of the local installation configuration file from the top-level network management system and update the local file installation configuration file of the new installation configuration in accordance with the updated information.

Previous embodiments may also include that the electronic tag information of the blade server may be modified via a third interface or maintenance tools.

Another embodiment of the present invention readily detects whether the blade server is mixed on in accordance with the installation information of the configuration file by detecting the compatibility of the modules (front patch panel and rear patch panel) of the blade server or compatibility between the blade server and other modules ( EZPU and the device of the machine body), thereby avoiding problems such as malfunction and device error caused by incorrect connection. It’s convenient for engineers to quickly find the wrong connection and the mixed inclusion of the blade server and quickly perform troubleshooting and troubleshoot using the warning light alarm or an alarm sent to the top-level network management system when the actual configuration information does not match the installation configuration file to improve the availability of the blade server. The installation configuration file is updated by the updated information of the local installation configuration file of the control module from the top-level network management system to satisfy customer requirements in the field of device configuration. The blade server electronic tag information may be modified through a third interface or maintenance tools. The control module communicates the actual configuration information received to the top-level network management system, so that the top-level network management system can detect whether the installation information is consistent with the configuration file information in accordance with the local configuration file and automatically connect or disconnect the blade server, thereby thereby increasing the control ability of the top-level network management system with respect to the blade server. The management module communicates the electronic tag and installation file information to the top-level network management system so that the top-level network management system can identify the type of hardware or the type of server software serving the blade server and perform other third-party integrated expansion functions, such as resource management to improve efficiency servicing client equipment and lower operating costs. Custom-made boards for complex operations for servicing, normalizing, and summarizing blade servers can be implemented in accordance with the installation configuration file, electronic tag information, and flexible combinations of the blade server and EZPU modules, thereby increasing productivity and lowering production costs. In addition, the present invention can also implement fine tuning based on the hardware platform of the blade server maintenance solution, and can realize cost-effective hardware customization in coordination with a business strategy to improve market flexibility.

Figure 4 shows a block diagram of a third embodiment of a protection method when the present invention is turned on. Figure 4 shows another embodiment of a power-on protection method. In this method, the installation configuration file is stored in the electronic label of the blade server; therefore, the electronic tag includes an installation configuration file and corresponding information of the blade server in addition to the installation information of the configuration file. In this embodiment, the corresponding blade server information includes information such as: blade name, blade type, manufacturer, serial number, or the like. The installation configuration file includes information of the first configuration strategy, which instructs to set the predetermined blade server at a predetermined position in the blade body. The method mainly includes the following steps.

Step 401: KUMP initializes the inclusion and reads the information of the electronic tag of the blade server inserted into the socket of the blade enclosure, and information about the position of the blade server in the blade enclosure.

Step 402: the KUMP reads the installation configuration file information from the electronic tag information.

Step 403: KUMP detects whether the corresponding information of the blade server, in addition to the installation configuration file in the electronic tag, and the position information with the information of the first configuration strategy in the installation configuration file are consistent. That is, it is evaluated whether the blade server is installed in the position indicated by the information of the first configuration strategy according to the corresponding information of the blade server in addition to the installation configuration file in the electronic tag, position information (the first two elements are the installation information of the blade server) and information first configuration strategy; if the blade server is installed at the position indicated by the first configuration strategy information, it is determined that the corresponding blade server information, in addition to the installation configuration file in the electronic tag, and the position information are consistent with the first configuration strategy information in the installation configuration file, and is executed step 404; otherwise, the corresponding blade server information, in addition to the installation configuration file in the electronic tag, and the position information are not consistent with the first configuration strategy information in the installation configuration file, and step 405 is performed.

Step 404: KUMP supplies power to the blade server.

Step 405: KUMP does not supply power to the blade server.

In the embodiment of the security method shown in FIG. 4, the KUMP obtains the installation information of the blade server in the blade housing and the installation information of the configuration file in the electronic tag through step 401 and step 402; and KUMP recognizes whether the installation information is consistent with the installation information of the configuration file through step 403; if the installation information is consistent with the installation information of the configuration file, KUMP continues to supply energy to the blade server through step 404; otherwise, the KUMP performs the shutdown or reboot action on the blade server through step 405. Thus, it is easy to detect whether the blade server is connected incorrectly in accordance with the installation information of the configuration file, thereby avoiding problems such as malfunction and error devices caused by improper startup.

It should be noted that the power-on protection method in an embodiment of the present invention implements soft functional blocking for security when the blade server is turned on by step 202, step 304, or step 403, which can prevent conflicts when turning on improperly connected or mixed-connected blade servers after powering on , for example, a conflict in powering improperly connected or mixed-connected high-power blade servers with other blade servers during operation enable, and can also prevent a conflict between incorrectly attached or mixed-connected blade servers after turning on, for example, many incorrectly connected or mixed-connected blade servers with Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) functions, which causes DHCP to malfunction when connected by inclusion.

Accordingly, a power-on protection system and power-on protection module for an embodiment of the present invention are disclosed below.

5 is a block diagram of a first embodiment of a security system when the present invention is turned on. The system mainly includes a server blade 51 inserted into the slot of the blade body, and a power-on protection module 52 in the system:

power-on protection module 52 is configured to obtain installation information of the blade server 51 in the blade housing and installation information of a configuration file about setting up the blade server in the blade housing; detecting whether the installation information is consistent with the installation information of the configuration file; and controlling the power supply to the blade server 51 if the installation information is consistent with the installation information of the configuration file; otherwise, a control signal is supplied so that power is not supplied to the blade server 51. In particular, the power-on protection module 52 may include an information collection unit 521, a detection unit 522 and a control unit 523, moreover, in the module:
