Abstract

A management interface between embedded systems of a blade server for executing a management method is provided. The management method comprises receiving a login information from a first system and generating a session ID in response to the login information, wherein the login information has a markup language format; receiving a command information from the first system and sending back an execution result of the command information in response to the command information, wherein the execution result has the markup language format; and receiving a logout information from the first system and removing the session ID in response to the logout information so as to invalidate the session ID, wherein the logout information has the markup language format.

Claims

1. A management interface between embedded systems of a blade server, for executing a management method, the management method comprising:

receiving a login information from a first system and generating a session ID in response to the login information, wherein the login information has a markup language format;

receiving a command information from the first system and sending back an execution result of the command information in response to the command information, wherein the execution result has the markup language format; and

receiving a logout information from the first system and removing the session ID in response to the logout information so as to invalidate the session ID, wherein the logout information has the markup language format.

2. The management interface according to claim 1, wherein a data structure of the login information comprises:

a first column and a second column, respectively comprising a name information and an identification password information corresponding to the name information, wherein a second system determines an operation authority of the first system according to the name information and the identification password information and provides the corresponding session ID.

3. The management interface according to claim 1, wherein a data structure of the command information comprises:

a third column and a fourth column, respectively comprising the session ID and a control command, wherein a second system determines whether the first system has an operation authority to execute the control command according to the session ID, when the first system has the operation authority to execute the control command, and the second system executes the control command and outputs an execution result of the control command.

4. The management interface according to claim 3, wherein the control command is for controlling the second system to output an internet protocol (IP) information to the first system.

5. The management interface according to claim 3, wherein the control command is for revising the IP information of the second system.

6. The management interface according to claim 1, wherein a data structure of the logout information comprises:

a sixth column and a seventh column, respectively comprising the session ID and a logout command, wherein a second system removes the session ID according to the logout command so as to invalidate the session ID.

7. The management interface according to claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a post-login information from the first system and generating a status information in response to the post-login information, wherein the post-login information has the markup language format.

8. The management interface according to claim 7, wherein a data structure of the post-login information comprises:

an eighth column and a ninth column, respectively comprising the session ID and a post-login command, wherein a second system determines whether the session ID is invalid according to the post-login command and outputs the corresponding status information according to a determination result to represent a status of the session ID.

9. The management interface according to claim 1, further comprising:

receiving an inquiry information coded by the markup language from the first system and generating a basis parameter information of a second system in response to the inquiry information.

10. The management interface according to claim 1, wherein the first system is connected to a second system via a communication connection.

11. The management interface according to claim 10, wherein a software layer of the communication connection transmits data via a point-to-point protocol (PPP) and transmission control/internet protocol (TCP/IP).

12. The management interface according to claim 10, wherein a software layer of the communication connection has one of a secure shell (SSH) and a telnet over secure socket layer (SSL).

13. The management interface according to claim 1, wherein the markup language is an extensible markup language (XML).

14. The management interface according to claim 1, wherein the first system is a modular management blade (MMB) and a second system is a switch blade.

15. A computer system medium, having a management interface between embedded systems of a blade server to execute a management method, the management method comprising:

receiving a login information from a first system and generating a session ID in response to the login information, wherein the login information has a markup language format;

receiving a command information from the first system and outputting a device information of a second system corresponding to the command information in response to the command information, wherein the command information has the markup language format; and

receiving a logout information from the first system and removing the session ID in response to the logout information so as to invalidate the session ID, wherein the logout information has the markup language format.

16. The computer system medium according to claim 15, wherein the management method further comprises:

receiving a post-login information from the first system and generating a status information in response to the post-login information, wherein the post-login information has the markup language format.

17. The computer system medium according to claim 15, wherein the management method further comprises:

receiving an inquiry information coded by the markup language from the first system and generating a basis parameter information of the first system in response to the inquiry information.
