【摘要】：随着计算机技术的日益发展，不管是企业还是组织都拥有为数纵多的服务器设备用于信息化服务，成为各项应用服务的核心设备，其重要性日益凸显。服务器能否实现可靠有效的管理也变得十分重要，现有的服务器管理方式存在着时效性差、占用服务器资源或不能进行远程管理、群组管理等缺点。因此设计一种有效可靠的服务器管理方式是当前的紧迫需要。主板控制器的设计基于IPMI（Intelligent Platform Management Interface，智能平台管理接口）规范实现，通过消息接口以及I2C总线实现对服务器主板上硬件进行通信，对传感器的门阀值设置；通过系统接口实现与服务器主机操作系统、系统管理软件通信，实现对服务器的运行状态监控；通过网络接口以及KVM（KeyboardVideo Mouse）技术实现对服务器的远程管理，主板控制器通过网络将服务器的实时图像信息传送给远端PC并进行显示，并且将远端PC的键盘鼠标信号输入重定向到服务器以实现对服务器的远程管理。主板控制器上运行有嵌入式Web服务器，方便用户通过Web浏览器进行管理，而且KVM用户端软件也以Java Applet的形式嵌在Web页面上供用户下载运行。主板控制器集成在服务器主板上，采用ARM9微处理芯片并移植嵌入式Linux系统，，其运行独立于服务器的CPU与操作系统之外，提高了服务器管理的可靠性与稳定性。通过服务器主板控制器的设计，实现了对服务器的远程管理，状态监控，实现了对服务器的带内与带外管理，而且不占用服务器系统资源。这种管理方式使得只需少量的管理人员就可以对拥有上百台服务器的数据中心进行管理，降低了服务器管理成本，具有较高的商业价值。
[Abstract]:With the development of computer technology, both enterprise and organization have more and more server equipment for information service and become the core equipment of various application services. Its importance is becoming more and more important. It is very important to realize the reliable and effective management of the server, and the existing way of server management has the limitation of time. Poor sex, occupation of server resources or remote management, group management and other shortcomings. Therefore, it is urgent to design an effective and reliable way of server management.
The design of the master board controller is based on the specification of IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface, intelligent platform management interface). Through the message interface and I2C bus, the hardware of the server motherboard is communicated, the threshold of the sensor is set, the system interface is implemented with the server host operating system, and the system management is soft. It realizes the monitoring of the running state of the server; through the network interface and the KVM (KeyboardVideo Mouse) technology, the remote management of the server is realized. The motherboard controller transmits the real-time image information of the server to the remote PC through the network and displays it, and redirects the input of the remote PC keyboard and mouse to the server. In order to achieve remote management of the server, the motherboard controller runs an embedded Web server to facilitate users to manage through the Web browser, and the KVM user side software is embedded on the Web page in the form of Java Applet for the user to download and run. The motherboard controller is integrated on the mainboard of the server, uses a ARM9 microprocessing chip and transplants. The entry Linux system runs independently of the server's CPU and operating system. It improves the reliability and stability of the server management.
Through the design of the server motherboard controller, the remote management and state monitoring of the server have been realized, and the management of the server in and out of band has been realized, and the server system resources are not occupied. This management way makes it possible that only a small number of managers can manage the data center with hundreds of servers and reduce the data center. The management cost of the server has high commercial value.
