Method of updating a dual redundant chassis management system
First Claim
1. A method of updating a dual redundant chassis management system, which is applied in a server, and said server includes an active chassis management system and a standby chassis management system, such that if said server has a change message, said server will process the steps of:
- said active chassis management system receiving said change message, and updating a data based on said change message;
creating a virtual channel between said active chassis management system and said standby chassis management system;
said active chassis management system sending said change message to said standby chassis management system through said virtual channel;
said standby chassis management system receiving said change message, and updating said data;
said standby chassis management system sending a reply signal to said active chassis management system through said virtual channel, for noticing the completion of updating data; and
said active chassis management system receiving said reply signal, and closing said virtual channel.

Abstract
The present invention discloses a method of updating a dual redundant chassis management system, and the method is applied in a server. If the server obtains a change message, it creates a virtual channel between an active chassis management system and a standby chassis management system, so that the active chassis management system can be updated according to the change message, and the change message can be sent to the standby chassis management system through the virtual channel. After the active chassis management system and the standby chassis management system are updated, the virtual channel is closed to provide sufficiency transmission bandwidth and stability for data transmissions, when the server synchronously updates the active chassis management system and the standby chassis management system.
