Abstract
Example board management systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided. An example board management system includes a baseboard management controller and a computing device board. The computing device board includes a memory and a component manager, where the memory records management information of the computing device board. The memory and the component manager are connected to the baseboard management controller through the management bus. The baseboard management controller is configured to obtain the management information from the memory, and manage the computing device board based on the management information by interacting with the component manager.
Claims17
A board management system, comprising a baseboard management controller and a computing device board, wherein:
- the computing device board comprises a memory and a component manager, the memory records management information of the computing device board, wherein the management information comprises property information of the computing device board, topological information of the computing device board, and property information of devices on the computing device board, wherein the topological information of the computing device board describes connection relationship of the devices on the computing device board, and the memory and the component manager are connected to the baseboard management controller through a management bus;
- and
- the baseboard management controller is configured to:
- obtain the management information from the memory;
- and
- manage the computing device board based on the management information by interacting with the component manager.
A board management method for managing a computing device board, the computing device board comprises a memory and a component manager, and the memory records management information of the computing device board;
- and wherein the method comprises:
- obtaining, by a baseboard management controller, the management information from the memory through a management bus;
- and
- interacting, by the baseboard management controller, with the component manager based on the management information through the management bus, to manage the computing device board,
- wherein the management information comprises property information of the computing device board, topological information of the computing device board, and property information of devices on the computing device board, wherein the topological information of the computing device board describes connection relationship of the devices on the computing device board.
An apparatus, wherein the apparatus is configured to manage a computing device board, the computing device board comprises a memory and a component manager, and the memory records management information of the computing device board;
- and wherein the apparatus comprises:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program to be executed by the at least one processor, wherein the program comprises instructions that when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining the management information from the memory through a management bus;
- and
- interacting with the component manager based on the management information through the management bus, to manage the computing device board,
- wherein the management information comprises property information of the computing device board, topological information of the computing device board, and property information of devices on the computing device board, wherein the topological information of the computing device board describes connection relationship of the devices on the computing device board.
