Abstract:
1. A computer managing method, comprising: providing a blade server system comprising M blade server units each comprising a plurality of server blades and a first modular management blade (MMB), wherein the M first MMBs of the M blade server units are connected with each other via network paths, and M is a natural number greater than 1, selecting one among the M first MMBs as a master MMB in response to a first user operation event; setting a network parameter data of the master MMB in response to a second user operation event; transmitting a topology discovery communication protocol package to the rest (M−1) first MMBs of the blade server system via the master MMB to obtain a network topology relationship between the master MMB and the (M−1) first MMBs; driving the (M−1) first MMBs to activate a network protocol service via the master MMB, wherein each of the (M−l) first MMBs receives a network parameter data from the master MMB via the network protocol service, for performing the setting of network parameter data on the (M−1) first MMBs; providing a second MMB in response to each of the M blade server units; and providing a non-volatile memory in response to each of the M blade server units, wherein the master MMB stores the network parameter data and the network topology relationship data to the non-volatile memory provided in response to said each blade server unit, wherein, when the operation of the master MMB is abnormal, the second MMB provided in response to said each blade server unit performs operations according to the data stored in the non-volatile memory provided in response to said each blade server unit, so as to replace the master MMB with the second MMB, wherein the non-volatile memory provided in response to said each blade server unit is physically coupled to the master MMB and to the second MMB replacing the master MMB.
