SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DYNAMIC DETERMINATION OF SYSTEM TOPOLOGY IN A MULTIPLE BUILDING BLOCK SERVER SYSTEM |
摘要 |
A system and method for an initial boot of a system before adding or removing drawers to a system without requiring an n-level cable. Standby power is applied after all cables have been connected to the system. All available expansion ports for an SMP cable are searched. A unique ID is sent over and received by all plugged SMP cables. A list of each controller and its connected controllers is created, and a master controller is assigned. A plugging table of each controller is sent to the master controller. The master controller compares all received plugging tables to plugging rules. Errors are reported in cable plugging errors and system configuration is reported to platform management service.
