Abstract

Example management systems and methods are described. In one example, the management system includes at least one processor and a baseboard management controller (BMC). A data bus used for data transmission is included between the at least one processor and the BMC. The at least one processor is configured to convert a first protocol packet including first management data of the system into a second protocol packet, and send the second protocol packet through the data bus. A protocol type of the second protocol packet is a transmission protocol type of the data bus. A protocol type of the first protocol packet is different from the protocol type of the second protocol packet, and a transmission rate of the first protocol packet is lower than a transmission rate of the second protocol packet.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A management system, comprising:

at least one processor;
a baseboard management controller (BMC), wherein a data bus for data transmission is situated between the at least one processor and the BMC;
and
one or more memories, wherein the one or more memories store first programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor to:
convert a first protocol packet comprising first management data of the management system into a second protocol packet;
and
send the second protocol packet through the data bus, wherein a protocol type of the second protocol packet is a transmission protocol type of the data bus, a protocol type of the first protocol packet is different from the protocol type of the second protocol packet, and a transmission rate of the first protocol packet is lower than a transmission rate of the second protocol packet;
and
wherein the BMC is configured to:
receive the second protocol packet from the data bus based on a first instruction;
convert a fourth protocol packet comprising second management data of the management system into a fifth protocol packet;
and
send the fifth protocol packet through the data bus, wherein a protocol type of the fourth protocol packet is different from a protocol type of the fifth protocol packet, and a transmission rate of the fourth protocol packet is lower than a transmission rate of the fifth protocol packet.

obtaining the first management data from the third protocol packet;
converting a fourth protocol packet comprising second management data of the system into a fifth protocol packet;
and
sending the fifth protocol packet through the data bus, wherein a protocol type of the fourth protocol packet is different from a protocol type of the fifth protocol packet, and a transmission rate of the fourth protocol packet is lower than a transmission rate of the fifth protocol packet.
