Background

The server is usually equipped with a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), and based on an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0, the BMC of the server already supports an IKVM (KVM-over-IP, KVM switch with remote Management function) function. The IKVM function in the BMC enables a user to remotely manage the server through the terminal device.

In the prior art, the implementation manner of the remote management of the server by the user through the terminal device is as follows: the method comprises the steps that a user firstly obtains access information of a BMC of a server, then connection is established between the user and the BMC through the access information of the BMC in a browser or a remote management client, the BMC sends a graphical interface of an operating system of the server to a terminal device through the connection established with the terminal device, the terminal device displays the graphical interface of the operating system of the server, and when the terminal device receives an operating instruction input by the user on the graphical interface of the operating system of the server, the operating instruction is sent to the BMC through the connection established with the BMC, so that remote management of the server through the terminal device is achieved. In the process of remotely managing the server through the terminal device, the administrator may also have a need to process a graphical interface of the operating system of the server output by the BMC, for example: and carrying out scaling, watermarking, safety control and other processing on a graphical interface of an operating system of the server output by the BMC.

Referring to fig. 1, a scenario architecture of a server remote management method provided in an embodiment of the present invention includes: a server cluster (illustrated by including the server 101, the server 102, and the server 103 in fig. 1) composed of a plurality of servers, a proxy server 21, and a plurality of terminal devices (illustrated by including the terminal device 301, the terminal device 302, and the terminal device 303 in fig. 1).

Among them, the server is equipped with a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) supporting the IKVM, and the BMC of the server can output a graphical interface of an operating system of the server to the proxy server 202.

The proxy server 21 includes: the administration database 201IKVM service 202. The management and control database 201 is used for storing access information of a BMC of a server, and the IKVM service 202 is used for creating a management and control instance for each request information in response to the request information sent by the terminal device for requesting the operation of the server, acquiring access information of the corresponding BMC, and establishing a connection with the BMC of the server requested to be operated by the terminal device through the management and control instance and the access information, so as to receive a graphical interface of an operating system of the server sent by the BMC of the server.

The terminal device provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), an intelligent watch, and an intelligent bracelet terminal device, and the server and the proxy server may be devices such as a desktop server, a rack server, a cabinet server, and a blade server, or the terminal device, the server, and the proxy server may be other types of devices.

On the basis of the above content, an embodiment of the present invention provides a server remote management method, and as shown in fig. 2, the server remote management method includes the following steps:

s201, the terminal device sends request information to the proxy server.

Correspondingly, the proxy server receives the request information sent by the terminal equipment.

The request information is used for requesting to operate the target server.

Specifically, the terminal device may carry an identifier of the server in the request information, so as to indicate the server requesting the operation through the identifier of the server. The server identifier may be an IP address, an Identity Document (ID), or the like of the server.

S202, the proxy server obtains access information of a target Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) corresponding to the target server.

Specifically, the implementation manner of the proxy server acquiring the access information of the target BMC may be: and reading the access information corresponding to the target server from the management and control database. The management and control database stores access information corresponding to each server, and when request information for requesting operation on a target server is received, the access information corresponding to the target server is read, so that the access information of the target BMC is obtained. It should be further noted that the management and control database may be local data of the proxy server or may be a remote database, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

Optionally, the access information may include: a network Protocol (IP) address of the target BMC and an access password of the target BMC.

S203, the proxy server establishes connection with the target BMC through the access information.

As an optional implementation manner in this embodiment of the present invention, an implementation manner in which the proxy server establishes a connection with the target BMC through the access information may include the following steps a to c:

step a, the proxy server creates a target management and control example.

Specifically, an IKVM service is run in the proxy server, and a target management and control instance may be created through the IKVM service.

Step b, the proxy server starts a KVM switch (KVM-over-IP, IKVM) client with a remote management function in the target management and control example.

The IKVM client may be an IKVM client JViewer provided by a server vendor.

And step c, the proxy server establishes connection with the target BMC through the IKVM client and the access information.

In the above embodiment, the proxy server creates a target management and control instance, starts the IKVM client in the target management and control instance, and further establishes a connection with the target BMC through the IKVM client and the access information, so that the proxy server in the above embodiment may establish a connection with multiple terminal devices and multiple servers at the same time, and thus the server remote management method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be suitable for managing and controlling multiple servers in a server cluster.

S204, the target BMC of the target server sends a first Graphical User Interface (GUI) to the proxy server.

Correspondingly, the proxy server receives the first graphical interface sent by the target BMC.

The first graphical interface is used for carrying out remote operation on the target server.

A graphical interface (GUI) refers to a computer-operated user interface that is displayed graphically. Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the graphical interface of the operating system of the target server refers to a user interface of the operating system of the target server displayed in a graphical manner.

As described in the above example, when the proxy server establishes a connection with the target BMC through the IKVM client and the access information, an implementation manner of the proxy server receiving the first graphical interface sent by the target BMC may be:

and the proxy server receives a first graphical interface sent by the target BMC through the IKVM client.

For example, the IKVM client in the embodiment of the present invention may be an IKVM client provided by a server vendor.

S205, the proxy server processes the first graphical interface based on a preset processing mode to obtain a second graphical interface.

Before processing the first graphical interface based on the preset processing mode, the proxy server further needs to extract the first graphical interface. Optionally, an implementation manner of the proxy server extracting the first image interface may include:

outputting the first graphical interface to a graphical interface service (X server) of the target management and control instance through the IKVM client; and extracting the first graphical interface according to video frame buffer (frame buffer) data of the graphical interface service through the target management and control instance.

Specifically, the X protocol is composed of a graphic interface service (X server) and an X application (X client). The X server is mainly used for managing hardware settings (such as a video card, a hard disk, a mouse and the like) related to display on the host, and is responsible for drawing and displaying screen pictures and informing X clients of actions of input settings (such as a keyboard and a mouse). The X client is mainly responsible for processing events. Since the X server is used for realizing screen drawing and providing font functions, the framebuffer data in the X server is captured, and the first graphical interface can be extracted.

Optionally, processing the first graphical interface based on a preset processing manner may include one or more of the following processes:

and clipping the first graphical interface.

And zooming the first graphical interface.

And adding a watermark to the first graphical interface.

Deleting one or more controls in the first graphical interface.

Adding one or more controls in the first graphical interface.

Disabling one or more controls in the first graphical interface.

S206, the proxy server sends the second graphical interface to the terminal equipment.

Correspondingly, the terminal equipment receives the second graphical interface sent by the proxy server.

As described above, the second graphical interface of the terminal device is a graphical interface obtained by the proxy server processing the first graphical interface based on a preset processing manner, and the first graphical interface is a graphical interface which is sent by the target BMC corresponding to the target server to the proxy server and is used for managing the target server.

Further, since the remote operation of the server generally has a dedicated Protocol, such as a Virtual Network Controller (VNC) Protocol, an open source virtualization desktop transport Protocol (SPICE Protocol for Independent Computing environment, SPICE), and the like, and does not directly use data output by the IKVM client, the proxy server may also convert the second graphical interface into data of a preset transport Protocol before the proxy server sends the second graphical interface to the terminal device.

For example, the preset transport protocol may be a virtual network console VNC, SPICE, or the like, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention, and the preset transport protocol may be set according to a remote transport protocol supported by the terminal device in use.

Referring to the functional diagram of the proxy server shown in fig. 3, the main functions of the proxy server include: the method comprises the steps of firstly obtaining a first graphical interface from a target BMC of a target server through an IKVM client, then inputting the first graphical interface into a graphical interface service (X server) through the IKVM client, then capturing a video frame buffer (frame buffer) in the graphical interface service (X server) to obtain the first graphical interface, carrying out processing operations such as cutting, scaling, adding a watermark, deleting a control, adding the control and forbidding the control on the first graphical interface to generate a second graphical interface, and finally sending the second graphical interface to terminal equipment after carrying out format conversion operation on the second graphical interface.

And S207, the terminal equipment displays the second graphical interface so that a user can remotely operate the target server through the second graphical interface.

The server remote management method provided by the embodiment of the invention firstly receives request information which is sent by terminal equipment and used for requesting to operate a target server through a proxy server, secondly obtains access information of a target BMC corresponding to the target server, secondly establishes connection with the target BMC through the access information, and receives a graphical interface of an operating system of the target server, which is sent by the target BMC, and then processes the first graphical interface based on a preset processing mode to obtain a second graphical interface, and finally sends the second graphical interface to the terminal equipment. In the remote management method for the server provided by the embodiment of the invention, the terminal device and the BMC of the server are not directly connected, but are respectively connected with the terminal device and the BMC of the server through the proxy server, so that the embodiment of the invention can process the graphical interface of the operating system of the server sent by the BMC of the server in the proxy server, and then send the processed graphical interface of the operating system of the server to the terminal device, therefore, the embodiment of the invention can meet the requirement of processing the graphical interface of the operating system of the server output by the BMC, and solves the problem that the requirement of processing the graphical interface of the operating system of the server output by the BMC in the operation mode of the server in the prior art cannot be met.

Furthermore, because the operating authority of the BMC is very high, only a few managers can be configured with BMC login authority to avoid malicious operation of the server. However, in this server operation method, if a certain user is configured with BMC login authority, the user can obtain a graphical interface of an operating system of the server through the client to perform any operation on the server, and if a certain user is not configured with BMC login authority, the user cannot obtain the graphical interface of the operating system of the server, and cannot perform any operation on the server. In short, flexible configuration of the server operation authority cannot be performed for different users. In view of the foregoing problems, the server remote management method provided in the embodiment of the present invention further includes: the request information carries a user identifier of a user, that is, the request information carries a user identifier of a target user. Before step S205 (processing the first graphical interface based on a preset processing mode, and acquiring a second graphical interface), the method for remotely managing a server according to the embodiment of the present invention further includes: and the proxy server acquires the authority information of the target user based on the user identification and determines the preset processing mode according to the authority information.

In the server remote management method provided in the above embodiment, the request information carries the user identifier of the target user, and the proxy server may obtain the authority information of the target user based on the user identifier, determine the preset processing mode according to the authority information, and then process the first graphical interface based on the preset processing mode to obtain the second graphical interface, so that the above embodiment may send the graphical interfaces of the operating systems of different servers to different users, thereby configuring different server operating authorities for different users, and implementing flexible configuration of the server operating authorities.

Further, on the basis of the above steps S201 to S207, referring to fig. 4, the server remote management method provided in the embodiment of the present invention further includes the following steps:

s401, the terminal equipment receives an input event of a user in the second graphical interface.

Specifically, the input event may be an operation of a user on a control in the second graphical interface through a user input device such as a mouse, a keyboard, a touch screen, and the like.

And S402, the terminal equipment generates an operation instruction according to the input event.

And S403, the terminal equipment sends the operation instruction to the proxy server.

Correspondingly, the proxy server receives the operation instruction sent by the terminal equipment.

S404, the proxy server sends the operation instruction to the target BMC.

Correspondingly, the target BMC of the target server receives the operation instruction sent by the proxy server.
