Embodiments can provide a smart interface card control method and apparatus. Under such a method or apparatus, after a smart interface card is inserted into a smart interface card slot of a host, a virtualized management interface can be registered with the host using a protocol stack of a preset type. A virtual link can be created to connect a baseboard management controller management interface to the virtual link. A management address configuration instruction sent by the host can be received for configuring a management address of the management interface. A control instruction sent by the host by using the management address can be received, and the control instruction to the BMC management interface can be sent by using the virtual link. According to the foregoing smart interface card control method and apparatus, scalability of the smart interface card can be improved.

Smart interface card control method and apparatus through a virtualized management interface

A method and an apparatus for implementing compatibility of different processors are provided. The method includes: in a standby state of a board, obtaining configuration information and a type of a processor on the board; and if a processor type in the configuration information is different from the type of the processor, updating, according to the processor, a parameter that is relevant to the processor and is in the configuration information, and changing FLASH memory chip selection configuration in order to connect the connector to a FLASH memory for storing a BIOS program of the processor.

Method and apparatus for selecting bios program for a processor

The present invention discloses a method and an apparatus for node hot-swapping, which simplify the node hot-adding procedure, and improve the operation efficiency of the hot-adding procedure. The present invention includes: obtaining, by a server from a baseboard management controller BMC of a node device to be added, static hardware information of the node device to be added, and storing it into a storage device of the server, where the static hardware information is obtained through an out-band channel by the BMC of the node device to be added; receiving, by the server, a node hot-adding command sent by a user, where the hot-adding command carries identifier information of the node device to be added; obtaining the static hardware information of the node device to be added corresponding to the identifier information from the storage device; and adding, according to the static hardware information, the node device to be added.
