BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A blade server refers to a multi-card server unit that can be inserted into a standard height rack-mount chassis. It is a low-cost server platform that achieves high availability and high density, and is specialized for special application industries and high-density computing environments. Designed, the blade server's internal card server unit can be plugged with "blades". Each "blade" is actually a system motherboard, similar to a standalone server. Each blade can run its own system to serve a specified user group, or it can be combined into a server cluster by system software. In cluster mode, all blades can be connected to provide a high-speed network environment. And you can share resources and serve the same user base.

For a better understanding of the technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention, refer to FIG. 3, which is an embodiment of a method for expanding a configuration of a blade server according to an embodiment of the present invention, including:

301. Obtain a type of blade for expansion and a number of blades of each type;

In the embodiment of the present invention, if the blade server needs to be expanded during the operation of the blade server, the worker can input the type of the blade for expansion and the number of each type of blade into the management system of the blade server, so that The management system can obtain the type of blade that the user expands and the number of each blade.

302. Query a correspondence table between the type of the blade and the average power consumption of the blade in the system according to the type of the blade, and obtain an average power consumption of each type of blade in the system;

In the embodiment of the present invention, the SMM in the blade frame collects the power consumption of the blade in the blade frame managed by the SMM, and transmits it to the management system at a preset time point, or the management system needs the blade server. When various types of blades consume power in the system, an uploading instruction can be sent to the Sili. After receiving the uploading instruction, the Sili sends the saved power consumption of the managed blade to the management system, and manages After the system obtains the power consumption of each blade in the blade server, it will be classified according to the type of the blade, and the average power consumption of each type of blade in the system will be calculated, and the type of the blade will be saved with the type of blade in the system. The corresponding relationship between the average power consumption of the blade server enables the blade server to determine the average power consumption of the blade to be expanded according to the actual average power consumption of each type of blade, as follows: The average power consumption of each type of blade in the system is obtained by querying the correspondence between the type of blade and the average power consumption of the blade in the system according to the type of blade.

303. Calculate the number of power supply devices and the number of heat dissipation devices that need to be increased according to the number of blades of each type and the average power consumption of each type of blade in the system;

In the embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the average power consumption of each type of blade in the system, the management system can calculate the required amount of each type of blade and the average power consumption of each type of blade in the system. The number of increased power supply devices and the number of heat dissipation devices, wherein the method for calculating the number of power supply devices to be increased includes: the management system respectively sets the number of each type of blades to the average power consumption of the blades of the type in the system. Multiply, the sum of the products is the power supply capacity required for the blade to be expanded; then, the gateway system subtracts the remaining power supply capacity of the current power supply device of the blade server from the power supply capacity of the blade for the expansion to obtain the power supply capacity required to be increased Finally, the number of power supply devices that need to be increased is determined by the power supply capacity that needs to be increased and the power supply capability of the preset power supply device. For example: If the type of blade used for expansion includes B, C, and the number of the three types of blades is 10, 6, and 8, respectively, and the average power consumption of the three types of blades in the system is 50W, 40W. , 30W, the power supply capacity of the blade for expansion is 1 0* 5 0W+6 * 40W+8 * 30W=98 0W, and if the remaining power supply capacity of the current power supply equipment is 80 W, it needs to be increased. The power supply capacity is 980W-8 0W=9 00W. If the power supply capability of the available power supply equipment is 3, the number of power supply equipment to be added is three.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the power supply capability of the power supply device that can be used for capacity expansion can be set in the management system in advance, so that when the capacity expansion setting is performed, the power supply device for expansion can be utilized in advance. The power supply capability determines the number of power supply devices that need to be increased.

In addition, when at least one power supply device is available, the cost of each power supply device can also be considered to save costs. Therefore, in practical applications, the types of power supply equipment to be added and the number of power supply equipments of each type are not only related to the actual power supply capacity required for capacity expansion, but also the cost and power supply of the power supply equipment for actual expansion. The type of the power supply device and the power supply capability for the expansion can be set according to the specific conditions in the actual application, which is not limited here.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the management system will also determine the number of heat dissipating devices that need to be increased, including: multiplying the number of each type of blades by the average power consumption of the type of blades in the system, and the sum of the products. The preset heat dissipation coefficient is multiplied to obtain the heat dissipation capability required for the expanded blade; the amount of heat dissipation required to be added is determined by the heat dissipation capability required for the blade for expansion. Since the heat dissipation of the blade is related to the power consumption of the blade, in the embodiment of the present invention, the heat dissipation capability of the blade for expansion can be determined according to the average power consumption of the blade, for example, if there are three types of blades, respectively A, B, C, and the number of the three types of blades are 10, 6, 8 respectively, and the average power consumption of the three types of blades in the system is 50 W, 40 W, 30 W, and the preset heat dissipation coefficient is 30%. , the heat dissipation capability of the blade used for expansion is: 30% (1 0 * 50W+6 * 40W+8 * 30W) = 294W, therefore, the required heat dissipation capacity is 294W, if the heat dissipation device is used for heat dissipation With a capacity of 98W, you need to add 3 cooling devices.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, after determining the number of power supply devices and heat dissipation devices that need to be added, the management system may further determine a recommended installation location of the blade, the power supply device, and the heat dissipation device for expansion, so that the work is performed. The personnel can configure the corresponding device according to the recommended installation location to implement the expansion configuration of the blade server. The recommended device installation is based on the system thermal design principle of the blade server.

The heat dissipation capability of the blade for expansion is equal to each type of blade. The number of blades with this type in the system The sum of the products of the average power consumption and the preset heat dissipation coefficient, wherein the remaining power supply capacity of the current power supply device is equal to the total power supply capability of the blade server minus the power supply capability provided for the powered blade. The difference, the remaining heat dissipation capability of the current heat sink is equal to the total heat sink capability of the blade server minus the difference in heat dissipation capability that has been provided for the powered blade.

Then, the management system determines whether the remaining power supply capability of the current power supply device is greater than or equal to the product of the preset value and the power supply capability required for the expanded blade; if the remaining power supply capability of the current power supply device is greater than or equal to The product of the preset value and the power supply capacity required for the expansion of the blade indicates that the remaining power supply capacity of the current power supply device meets the power supply requirements of the blade for expansion, and the management system will continue to determine the current heat dissipation device.
