Design And Implementation Of Autonomic Mangement Board For High-Performance Server

High-performance and high availability servers can be used in many fields which involved in national security and people's livelihood such as telecommunications and so on. Nowadays, the research of domestic on availability is redundancy, resulting in greater redundancy.So developping the high-performance and high availability servers with adaptive, scalable, reconfigurable and self-configuration capabilities can improve information construction in China,and have a strategic significance on the country's economy and social security.Server management is the key technology of developing high-performance and high availability server. In order to achieve the focused, sustained and effective management of server, the paper designs a hardware platform for high-performance server management.The design uses multi-level architecture to achieve high availability-LMM(local management module) and GMM(global management module). LMM is mainly responsible for the state of the local node, GMM is responsible for monitoring and managing the entire system. The design using a combination of in-band and out-of-band monitoring ways to monitor the compute nodes in real-time. In addition, GMM's hot backup technology, and multi-channel communication network redundancy ensures system availability. Hot-plug feature is designed to shorter mean maintenance time, so as to improve system availability.The paper studys the server management technology based on IPMI , the common high-availability technologies, and the needs of the high-performance, high availability server .The paper summarizes the functional requirements of server management platform and then puts forward a double-layer management structure-- LMM and GMM, the detailed design of LMM and GMM is finished at the same time . Finally the hardware of LMM is implemented using a ARM7 minimum system + Peripheral Communication Interface Group , and the main functions of each module is tested.
