SERVER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD
The disclosure server management provides a plurality of servers, each of the servers comprising a basic input/output system (BIOS), the BIOS is configured for collecting a hardware information of the server; a controller is configured for obtaining the hardware information from the BIOS of each of the servers; and a monitor is configured for displaying the hardware information transmitted by the controller. A server management method is also provided.
1 . A server management system comprising:
a rack;
a plurality of servers mounted in the rack, each server comprising a basic input/output system (BIOS), which is configured for collecting hardware information of the servers;
a controller configured for obtaining the hardware information from the BIOS of each of the servers; and
a monitor configured for displaying the hardware information transmitted by the controller.
2 . The server management system of claim 1 , wherein the server management system comprises a basic management controller (BMC), the controller obtains the hardware information from the BIOS through the BMC.
3 . The server management system of claim 1 , wherein the BIOS further comprises a system management BIOS (SMBIOS) table, the BIOS stores the hardware information of the server in the SMBIOS table.
4 . A server management method comprising:
collecting a hardware information of a server by a basic input/output system (BIOS), and transmitting the hardware information to a basic management controller (BMC);
obtaining the hardware information from the BIOS by the BMC, and transmitting the hardware information to the a controller; and
obtaining the hardware information from the BMC by the controller, and displaying the hardware information through a monitor.
5 . The server management method of claim 4 , wherein the BIOS further comprises a system management BIOS (SMBIOS) table, the BIOS stores the hardware information of the server in the SMBIOS table.
6 . The server management method of claim 4 , wherein the BIOS collects the hardware information of the server before the server enters the operating system.
