Detailed ways

Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings refer to the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with aspects of the application as detailed in the appended claims.

It should be noted that, in this document, the terms "comprising", "comprises" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article or device that includes a series of elements not only includes those elements, It also includes other elements not expressly listed or inherent in the process, method, article or apparatus.

Generally, different services can be deployed on computing devices, but in some scenarios with high requirements on data security and operational reliability, different services are required to be isolated from each other at runtime. Currently, there are two ways to isolate different services from each other at runtime. One way is to isolate each business from each other at the physical level. For example, each business is deployed in an independent computing device; the other way is to Logically isolated from each other, for example, one computing device is virtualized into multiple virtual machines through virtualization technology, and each business is deployed separately in each virtual machine.

It should be noted that the computing devices involved in the embodiments of this application may include, but are not limited to, servers. In the following embodiments, the computing device is used as a server to illustrate the solution.

Next, the architecture of the server in the above two methods will be described with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2.

Figure 1 is an architectural schematic diagram of a server provided by an embodiment of the present application. Please refer to Figure 1. The server cluster includes server 1 and server 2. Server 1 and server 2 are independent of each other. Each application can be deployed individually on a separate server. For example, in (a) of Figure 1 , application A is deployed alone in server 1; in (b) of Figure 1 , application B is deployed alone in server 2. Since Application A and Application B are deployed on separate servers, data security can be guaranteed. However, under this architecture, once the server is put into use, its hardware configuration will not be changed frequently. When the subsequent business needs of Application A or Application B increase or decrease, the server's hardware resources will not be able to increase or decrease in time with the increase in business needs. Reduced and flexibly changed, resulting in lower flexibility of the server. Moreover, if there is a problem with the server, the services deployed on the server and the services associated with the service will be affected.

Figure 2 is another architectural schematic diagram of a server provided by an embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 2, one server can be virtualized into two virtual machines, and each application can be deployed separately in a virtual machine. For example, application A is deployed separately in virtual machine 1, and application B is deployed separately in virtual machine 2. Under this architecture, although the server can achieve logical isolation of each business from each other, because the server's hardware resources have not been physically isolated, it is difficult to ensure data security in some scenarios that require strict security of business data. sex.

S801. Obtain the first instruction.

The execution subject of this embodiment may be a server or a BMC in the server. Optionally, BMC can be implemented through software or through a combination of software and hardware.

The BMC can also run configuration software, which can be used to determine the working mode of the server and configure the server according to the determined working mode. In this embodiment of the present application, the configuration software may be an independent version of software or a web page version of software.

The first instruction may be a mode configuration instruction of the server. For example, the mode configuration instruction may be encoded with an encoding symbol, where when the encoding symbol is 1, it represents a single-node mode; when the encoding symbol is 0, it represents a dual-node mode.

The first instruction can be used to set the working mode of the server. For example, in actual application, the first instruction can have the following two situations:

The first situation: The system page corresponding to the configuration software is set with function keys corresponding to each working mode. The user can send a first instruction to the configuration software by triggering any function key on the system page to instruct the configuration software according to the function. Press the corresponding working mode of the button to set the working mode of the server.

The second situation: In dual-node mode, when one physical node in the server works alone and the hardware resources of the other physical node are idle, if the BMC detects that the business volume processed by the working physical node exceeds the preset business volume threshold , a first instruction may be sent to the configuration software to instruct the configuration software to switch the server from the dual-node mode to the single-node mode.

In actual use, users can set the working mode of the server according to business needs. For example, when business needs are small but data security requirements are high, dual-node mode can be used to work. At this time, each physical node can independently perform a business process, and each physical node is completely isolated at the physical level. , which can ensure data security.

When business needs are large, single-node mode can be used to work. At this time, two physical nodes can collaborate for business processing, which is beneficial to improving the speed of business processing and the reliability of the system during business processing.

In a possible implementation, the BMC can send a master mode control signal to the first processor and the first controller, so that the first processor operates in the master processor mode and the first controller operates in the master controller mode. Work; the BMC sends a slave mode control signal to the second processor and the second controller, so that the second processor works in the slave processor mode and the second controller works in the slave controller mode.

When the first controller works in master controller mode and the second controller works in slave controller mode:

The first controller may be used to: collect first processor information of the first processor; and control the operating status and power supply status of the first processor according to the first processor information.

The first controller may also be configured to: collect second processor information of the second processor through the second controller; and generate a first control signal and a second control signal according to the second processor information. The first control signal is used to control the operating state of the second processor; the second control signal is used to control the power supply state of the second DC-DC power conversion module.

For example, the power supply state may include a power on state or a power off state.

It should be noted that S804 can be executed before S805, or S804 can be executed after S805, or S804 can be executed synchronously with S805.

S807. Send a dual-node mode instruction to the first processor, the second processor, the first controller, and the second controller.

The dual mode instruction is used to instruct the first processor and the second processor to be the master node.

For example, the BMC may send a master mode control signal to the first processor, the second processor, the first controller, and the second controller to cause the first processor and the second processor to operate in the master processor mode, and The first controller and the second controller operate in master controller mode.

In the dual-node mode, the first controller can be used to control the running status and power supply status of the first processor, and the second controller can be used to control the running status and power supply status of the second processor.
