Detailed Description

The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification, it being understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are merely for illustrating and explaining the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention, and that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present invention may be combined with each other without conflict.

Example one

As shown in fig. 1, a schematic structural diagram of a configuration system of a newly added server according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: the system comprises at least one new server 1, at least one switch 2, a PXE server 4 and an intelligent sensing server 3, wherein each switch 2 can be connected with at least one new server 1, each switch 2 is connected with the intelligent sensing server 3, and the PXE server 4 is used for being connected with the new server 1 and the intelligent sensing server 3 respectively.

In specific implementation, by taking an example of configuring any newly added server, an interaction flowchart between the newly added server 1, the switch 2 connected to the newly added server, and the smart sensor server 3 is shown in fig. 2a, and may include the following steps:

s21, the new server 1 sends a configuration request to the switch 2 connected with the new server.

The configuration request carries the MAC address of the new server 1.

In specific implementation, the newly added server 1 in the embodiment of the present invention refers to a server that needs to be initialized but is not installed with a deployed operating system and a required application. The switch 2 in the embodiment of the present invention is a network device for connecting the new server 1.

In specific implementation, after the newly added server 1 is powered on, a configuration request is automatically sent to the switch 2, where the configuration request carries a Media Access Control (MAC) address of the newly added server. Specifically, the configuration request sent by the newly added server 1 to the switch may be an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) data packet sending request, where the ARP data packet carries the MAC Address of the newly added server 1.

S22, after receiving the configuration request, the switch 2 acquires the MAC address of the newly added server 1 from the configuration request.

In specific implementation, after the switch 2 receives the ARP data packet sending request, the MAC address of the new server 1 can be resolved from the ARP packet.

Specifically, the switch 2 may determine that the ARP packet is received when it detects that a certain port level is raised.

And S23, the switch 2 adds the MAC address to a data packet and sends the data packet to the intelligent sensing server 3.

In specific implementation, the data packet may be but not limited to an SNMP packet (Simple Network Management Protocol), the switch 2 adds the acquired MAC address of the new server 1 to the SNMP packet, and then sends the SNMP packet added with the MAC address of the new server 1 to the smart sensing server 3.

S24, after receiving a data packet sent by the switch 2 connected with the newly added server 1, the intelligent sensing server 3 analyzes the MAC address of the newly added server 1 from the data packet.

In specific implementation, after receiving the SNMP packet added with the MAC address of the newly added server 1, the smart sensing server 3 parses the MAC address of the newly added server 1 from the SNMP packet.

Preferably, the smart sensor server 3 may be divided into four layers according to functions, which are a sensing layer, an information query layer, a configuration generation layer and an execution layer, respectively, as shown in fig. 3, the sensing layer is used to analyze and filter the MAC address and the switch port number of the newly added server 1, and the functions of the information query layer, the configuration generation layer and the execution layer are introduced later.

In specific implementation, the MAC address of the newly added server 1 is analyzed from the SNMP packet by a server MAC address analysis module in the sensing layer.

Preferably, after step S24 is executed and before step S25 is executed, the method further includes:

and analyzing the port number information of the newly added server connected with the switch from the data packet.

In specific implementation, the switch 2 is provided with a plurality of ports, and each port has a unique port number. The connection between the new server 1 and the switch 2 is substantially the connection between the new server 1 and a certain port of the switch 2. The invention needs to realize the automatic configuration of the newly added server, so the newly added server and the PXE server connected with the newly added server need to be arranged in the same VLAN layer by using the switch, the newly added server is started in a network mode, the interaction between the newly added server and the PXE server is further realized, then the PXE server configures the newly added server according to the pre-boot execution environment, the switch needs to be configured based on the reasons, and under the condition that a plurality of switches possibly exist in the current newly added server configuration system, the switches need to be distinguished by using the port numbers of the switches. Therefore, when the switch 2 sends the SNMP data packet to the smart sensor server 3, the SNMP packet also needs to carry port number information of the newly added server 1 connected to the switch 2.

Specifically, the port number information of the connection between the newly added server 1 and the switch 2 is analyzed from the SNMP packet by a switch port number analysis module in the sensing layer.

In specific implementation, after a server MAC address analysis module in a sensing layer analyzes the MAC address of the newly added server 1, and a switch port number analysis module in the sensing layer analyzes the port number information of a switch 2 connected with the newly added server 1, the MAC address and the port number information are sent to an information query layer in an intelligent sensing server 3.

And S25, the intelligent sensing server 3 determines a script file for configuring the newly added server 1 according to the MAC address.

In specific implementation, the newly added server is used for providing services for the service platform. In practical application, when a batch of new servers are purchased, the purchased servers are pre-allocated to which service platform to provide services, and it is assumed that 5 servers are purchased, wherein the number of the servers for providing services to the service platform 1 is 2; the number of servers for providing services for the service platform 2 is 2; the number of servers for serving the service platform 3 is 1. The respective servers are directly distinguished by MAC addresses. Therefore, before configuring the newly added server, the corresponding relationship between the MAC address of the newly added server and the service platform needs to be stored in the smart aware server, which is shown in table 1:

TABLE 1

MAC address	Service platform
		MAC1	Service platform 1
MAC2	Service platform 1
		MAC3	Service platform 2
MAC4	Service platform 2
		MAC5	Service platform 3
……	……

Specifically, the service platform in table 1 may be, but is not limited to, a container, a virtual machine, a cloud environment, and the like. In table 1, the service platforms 1, 2, and 3 may be directly distinguished by using the service platform name, for example, the service platform 1 is a container, the service platform 2 is a virtual machine, and the service platform 3 is a cloud environment.

After the MAC address of the newly added server 1 is resolved by the server MAC address resolution module in the intelligent sensing server 3, the service platform corresponding to the resolved MAC address can be determined from the correspondence between the locally stored MAC address and the service platform, then a script file generated for the service platform in advance is locally obtained according to the service platform, and then the newly added server 1 is configured by using the script file.

Preferably, the determining a script file for configuring the new server 1 according to the method shown in fig. 2b further includes the following steps:

and S251, determining parameter information which needs to be configured for the newly added server according to the MAC address.

In specific implementation, step S251 may be executed according to the method shown in fig. 2c, including the following steps:

s2511, determining the service platform corresponding to the MAC address of the newly-added server according to the corresponding relation between the MAC address and the service platform.

In specific implementation, after the MAC address of the newly added server 1 is determined, the service platform corresponding to the MAC address of the newly added server 1, that is, the service platform to which the newly added server belongs, may be determined according to the correspondence between the locally stored MAC address and the service platform.

S2512, according to the determined service platform, determining the general parameter information of the service platform to which the newly added server belongs as the parameter information required to be configured for the newly added server.

In specific implementation, each service platform usually has its own general parameter information, for example, 5 servers are used to provide services for the cloud environment, and these 5 servers should have some identical parameter information, which is called general parameter information.

Preferably, the parameter information includes operation instruction information and function information, where the operation instruction information includes at least one of the following: a start sequence instruction and a restart instruction, the functional information including at least one of: the software package information of each software and the dependency package information of each software are installed in the newly added server.

In a specific implementation, the operation instruction information may be, but is not limited to, a start sequence instruction and a restart instruction. The start sequence instruction is used for enabling the newly added server 1 to start in a network mode. The restart instruction is used for realizing automatic restart when the new server 1 is required to be restarted when business application is installed.

Specifically, after the function information is used to configure the new server 1, the new server 1 is enabled to implement a corresponding function, and the operation information included in the function information may be, but is not limited to, the type and version of the operating system installed for the new server 1; the software package information of each software included in the function information may be, but is not limited to, an installation package version, and the like of each application that needs to be installed for the new server 1, and the dependency package information of each software may be understood as dependency package information having a dependency relationship with the installation package. Software under the Linux operating system generally has a dependency package.

In addition, the information query layer included in the smart sensing server 3 is configured to determine a service parameter by matching the database thereof with the information sent by the sensing layer, where the service parameter is a necessary parameter for generating a script file by the configuration generation layer. And after determining the service parameters, the information inquiry layer sends the service parameters to the configuration generation layer.

Therefore, the information query layer in the smart sensor server 3 may determine the parameter information required by the new server 1, that is, the service configuration information query module in the information query layer performs step 251 and steps 2511 and 2512.

And S252, determining a configuration template for configuring the newly added server from a stored template library according to the MAC address.

In specific implementation, after the parameter information required to be configured for the newly added server 1 is determined, a configuration module also needs to be determined. Specifically, the manufacturer of the new server 1 may be determined according to the MAC address. Since each manufacturer has its own configuration template, it is necessary to determine the manufacturer of the new server 1. After the manufacturer is determined, the configuration template of the manufacturer is found from the template library.

And S253, determining a script file for configuring the newly added server according to the parameter information and the configuration template.

Preferably, the configuration template comprises an instruction configuration template; and when step S253 is executed, specifically including:

and generating an instruction script file for configuring the operation instruction of the newly added server according to the operation instruction information and the instruction configuration template, wherein the instruction script file comprises a starting sequence instruction script file and a restarting instruction script file.

In specific implementation, the instruction configuration template may include, but is not limited to, a start order instruction template and a restart instruction template, and a start order instruction script file for configuring a start order of the newly added server 1 may be generated according to the start order instruction and the start order instruction template; and generating a restart instruction script file for configuring a restart mode of the newly added server 1 according to the restart instruction and the restart instruction template.

Of course, the operation instruction information may also include other information, and the corresponding instruction configuration template may also include other configuration templates, which are specifically determined according to actual needs.

Further, the configuration template also comprises a service configuration template; and when step S253 is executed, determining a script file for configuring the newly added server according to the parameter information and the configuration template, specifically including:

and generating a service configuration script file for deploying the service which needs to be configured by the newly added server according to the function information and the service configuration template.

In specific implementation, the service configuration template may include, but is not limited to, an application installation template, a modification template, and an upgrade template of each service. For example, an os script file for installing operation information for the new server 1 may be generated according to the type and version of the os and an os installation template, that is, the installation of the os of the new server 1 may be completed by executing the os script file one by one. In addition, a script file for installing the software for the new server 1 can be generated according to the software package information, the dependency package information and the installation template of the software of any software, and the installation of the software in the new server 1 can be completed by executing the script file one by one. Similarly, the generation mode of the script file of other software, the generation mode of the modified script and the generation mode of the upgraded script file are similar, and are not described herein again.

Specifically, the configuration generation layer in the intelligent management server 3 may be configured to generate a corresponding script file, and then send the generated script file to the execution layer, and the execution layer configures the new server 1 according to the script file. In a specific implementation, S252 and S253 are performed by the configuration generation layer. The starting sequence instruction script file and the restarting instruction script file can be generated by an instruction script generating module in the configuration generating layer and are sent to an instruction configuration module in the execution layer; and generating a service configuration script file by a service configuration script generating module in the configuration generating layer and sending the service configuration script file to a service configuration module in the execution layer.

Preferably, after analyzing the port number information of the new server connected to the switch from the data packet, and before performing step S26, the method further includes:

and determining a script file for configuring the switch according to the port number information.

In specific implementation, the necessity of configuring the switch 2 has been described above, so after the port number information of the port where the new server 1 is connected to the switch 2 is obtained, the script file that can be used for configuring the switch 2 is obtained by using the port number information.

In specific implementation, the implementation of the step and the implementation of the step S25 are not in sequence, and may be performed simultaneously.

Preferably, determining a script file for configuring the switch according to the port number information according to the process shown in fig. 4 includes the following steps:

s31, determining parameter information of the switch according to the port number information, wherein the parameter information comprises a management address of the switch.

When the method is specifically implemented, each switch has a management address, and a manager can find the switch corresponding to the management address by using the management address, and then can modify the switch.

Specifically, a list about the switch may be maintained in the smart sensor server 3, where a correspondence between port number information of the switch and parameter information of the switch is stored in the list, and if the parameter information only includes a management address, the correspondence between the port number information and the management address is stored in the list. It should be noted that, since there is a case where a plurality of pieces of port number information correspond to one switch, there is a case where a plurality of pieces of port number information correspond to the same piece of parameter information in the list.

And S32, determining a configuration template for configuring the switch from a stored template library according to the management address.

Specifically, after the management address of the switch 2 is determined in step S31, the manufacturer of the switch 2 may be determined according to the management address, and since each switch manufacturer has its own configuration template, it is necessary to determine the manufacturer of the switch 2. After the manufacturer is determined, the switch configuration template for the manufacturer is found from the template library.

And S33, determining a script file for configuring the switch according to the parameter information of the switch and the configuration template for configuring the switch.

Preferably, the parameter information of the switch further includes at least one of the following information: and logging in a user name and a password required by the switch, a port mode to which a port corresponding to the port number belongs, and a VLAN (virtual local area network) number to which the port belongs.

In specific implementation, a manager can find the switch corresponding to the management address according to the management address, and when configuring the interactive machine, the manager needs to log in to the switch 2, so that the manager needs to obtain login information, i.e., a user name and a password, of the switch 2.

Specifically, a script file for logging in the switch 2 is obtained by using the management address, the user name and the password required for logging in the switch 2, and the template for logging in the switch. The script file can be used to successfully log on to the switch 2.

In addition, a script file for configuring the port mode of the port of the switch can be generated according to the port mode to which the port corresponding to the port number included in the parameter information belongs and the configuration template for configuring the port mode. The script file is executed one by one, and the configuration of the port mode of the port corresponding to the port number information can be completed.

Furthermore, a script file for configuring the VLAN number to which the port corresponding to the port number information belongs may be generated according to a VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) number to which the port belongs and a configuration template for configuring the VLAN number of the port, which are included in the parameter information. After the script file is executed one by one, the VLAN number to which the port corresponding to the port number information of the switch 2 belongs may be configured to be a required VLAN number.

Of course, the parameter information of the switch 2 may also include other parameter information, and of course, the configuration template may also include other configuration templates, which are specifically configured according to actual needs.

Specifically, a script file required for configuring the switch may be generated by the switch execution script generation module in the configuration generation layer. That is, the switch execution script generation module executes S31 to S33. And then sending the obtained script file for configuring the switch to a switch configuration module in the execution layer.

And S26, the intelligent sensing server 3 configures the newly added server 1 according to the script file.

In specific implementation, the configuration of the new server 1 may be performed according to the flow shown in fig. 2d, and includes the following steps:

s261, the intelligent sensing server 3 sends each instruction in the instruction script file to the newly added server 1.

Preferably, before executing step S261, the method further includes:

and initializing the newly added server so that the newly added server has the condition for executing the instruction script file.

In specific implementation, after generating the instruction script file, the smart sensing server 3 matches a preset initialization instruction, and then sends the initialization instruction to the newly added server 1 to initialize the newly added server 1. Because the newly added server 1 cannot execute any instruction, when the initialization instruction is multiple, the intelligent sensing server 3 needs to send each instruction to the newly added server 1 in sequence to complete initialization of the newly added server 1.

In specific implementation, the execution layer in the smart sensing server 3 is configured to complete configuration of the newly added server according to the script file, specifically, an instruction configuration module in the execution layer may send an initialization instruction to the newly added server 1, and when the newly added server 1 has a condition for executing the instruction script file, the instruction configuration module sends each instruction in the instruction script file to the newly added server 1 in sequence, so that the newly added server 1 executes each received instruction, and completes configuration of the operation instruction, for example, the instruction configuration module sends each instruction in the start sequence instruction script file to the newly added server 1 in sequence, so as to complete configuration of the start sequence of the newly added server 1, and/or the instruction configuration module sends a restart instruction script file to the newly added server 1 in sequence, so as to complete configuration of a restart instruction of the newly added server 1, and the like.

And S262, the newly added server 1 completes the configuration of the operation instruction according to the received instruction.

S263, the smart sensor server 3 sends each configuration command in the script file for configuring the switch 2 to the switch 2.

In specific implementation, after the intelligent sensing server 3 sends each instruction in the instruction script file to the newly added server 1, and after the newly added server 1 completes configuration of the operation instruction, the intelligent sensing server 3 sends a switch configuration instruction to the switch.

Specifically, the script file may be a plurality of script files, such as a script file for logging in the switch 2, a script file for configuring a port mode of a port of the switch, a script file for configuring a VLAN number to which a port of the switch belongs, and the like.

In specific implementation, the intelligent sensing server 3 firstly logs in the switch 2 according to the script file of the switch 2 and has the authority of configuring the switch; and then, according to a script file for configuring the port mode of the port of the switch, configuring the port mode of the port connected with the newly added server 1 in the switch 2, and according to each instruction in the script file for configuring the VLAN number to which the port of the switch belongs, configuring the VLAN number of the port connected with the newly added server 1 in the switch 2, so that the switch 2 can set the newly added server 1 and the PXE server 4 in the same VLAN layer.

Specifically, the switch configuration module in the execution layer in the intelligent sensing server 3 sends each instruction in the script file for configuring the switch 2 to the switch one by one, so that the switch 2 sets the newly added server 1 and the PXE server 4 in the same VLAN layer according to the script file.

Preferably, before executing step S263, the method further includes:

initializing the switch to condition the switch to execute the script file for configuring the switch.

In specific implementation, before configuring the switch 2, a preset initialization instruction should be matched according to the script file for configuring the switch 2, and then the initialization instruction is sent to the switch 2, so that the switch 2 has a condition for executing the script file for configuring the switch.

And S264, the exchanger 2 sets the newly added server 1 and the pre-starting execution environment PXE server 4 in the same VLAN layer according to the received configuration instruction.

S265, the smart awareness server 3 sends each service configuration command in the service configuration script file to the PXE server 4.

Preferably, before executing step S265, the method further includes:

initializing the PXE server so that the PXE server has the condition for executing the service configuration script file.

In specific implementation, before sending each instruction in the service configuration script file to the PXE server 4, the intelligent sensing server 3 matches a preset initialization instruction according to the script file, and then sends the initial instruction to the PXE server 4, so that the PXE server has a condition for executing the service configuration script file. And then each instruction in the service configuration script file is sent to the PXE server 4, so that the PXE configures the service application of the newly added server 1 according to each received instruction.

Specifically, if there are multiple service configuration script files, each instruction in each service configuration script file is sequentially sent to the PXE server 4, for example, each instruction in the operating system script file is sent to the PXE server 4 first, so that the PXE server 4 guides the new server 1 to complete the installation of the operating system according to each received instruction. Then, the intelligent sensing server 3 sends each instruction in the script file for installing each piece of software to the PXE server 4, so that the PXE server 4 guides the newly added server 1 to complete the installation of the software and the like according to each received installation instruction.

Specifically, the initialization instruction and each instruction in the service configuration script file may be sent to the PXE server 4 by the service configuration module in the smart awareness server 3.

And S266, the PXE server 4 completes the service configuration of the new server 1 according to the received service configuration instruction.

Preferably, in order to implement the automatic installation and deployment of the new server 1, the new server 1 needs to be set in a network boot manner, so before configuring the operating system or software for the new server, the boot sequence instruction of the new server 1 needs to be set, that is, step S261 is executed first. Furthermore, since the configuration of the new server 1 may cause a restart, for example, when an operating system or software is installed, in order to avoid manual restart, an automatic restart instruction needs to be installed in the new server 1 in advance, and therefore step S261 must be executed before step S265 is executed. In addition, in order to implement that the PXE server 4 automatically guides the new server 1 to complete the installation and deployment of the service application, the switch 2 needs to be configured before the step S265 is pointed, so that the switch 2 can set the new server 1 and the PXE server 4 in the same VLAN layer, thereby achieving the automatic installation and deployment of the new server 1. Therefore, in the present invention, steps S261, S263 and step S265 have a sequential execution order, and the application executes step S261, then step S263, and finally step S265. However, step S263 and step S262 do not have a sequential execution order, and step S265 and step S264 do not have a sequential execution order.

The newly added server 1 is directly connected with the PXE server 4 through the switch 2 by adopting a star network topology.
