具体实施方式
为使本发明实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚，下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图，对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚地描述，显然，所描述的实施例是本发明一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都属于本发明保护的范围。
图1为本发明设备管理系统的一个实施例的结构示意图，如图1所示，本实施例的系统10包括：一个交换设备11、一个服务器的CPU 12、三个NVMe子系统13a、13b、13c以及一个设备管理控制器14。其中，服务器的CPU 12和三个NVMe子系统13a、13b、13c均可以为被管理设备；交换设备11可以是PCIe交换机或者PCIe交换芯片，本领域技术人员易于想到只要是具备PCIe交换功能的独立设备、芯片、逻辑模块等均可作为本发明的交换设备，此处不做具体限定；设备管理控制器14优选的可以是基板管理控制器(Baseboard Management Controller，简称：BMC)；NVMe子系统13a可以包括NVMe控制器131a和多个NVMe存储器132a；NVMe子系统13b可以包括NVMe控制器131b和多个NVMe存储器132b；NVMe子系统13c可以包括NVMe控制器131c和多个NVMe存储器132c，上述NVMe存储器例如可以是闪存(Flash)。NVMe控制器131a、131b、131c均与交换设备11通过第二总线连接，交换设备11与设备管理控制器14通过第一总线连接，优选的，第一总线可以是系统管理总线(System Management Bus，简称：SMBus)或者集成电路间(Inter-Integrated Circuit，简称I2C)总线。需要说明的是，本实施例中以三个NVMe子系统举例说明，但是NVMe子系统的数量不限于三个，可以是一个以上，此处不做具体限定。另外，本发明实施例中服务器上的CPU 12、交换设备11和三个NVMe子系统13a、13b、13c，具体实现中，交换设备11可以作为独立的设备，独立于服务器，与服务器物理上独立；同理三个NVMe子系统13a、13b、13c也可以分别作为独立的设备，物理上分别与交换设备11和服务器独立；另外，CPU12、交换设备11和三个NVMe子系统13a、13b、13c可以分别作为服务器的一部分；或者交换设备11和CPU 12作为服务器的一部分，而三个NVMe子系统13a、13b、13c分别与服务器物理上独立；本发明对此不 作限定。
本实施例的交换设备11为了存储CPU 12和三个NVMe控制器131a、131b、131c中的至少一个发送的诊断信息，对交换设备的内存空间进行了扩容。交换设备11的内存空间，即为专用于存放诊断信息的存储器111，该存储器111用于存储CPU 12和三个NVMe控制器131a、131b、131c中的至少一种发送的诊断信息，存储器111存储空间的大小，可以按照“系统能支持的最多的NVMe子系统的个数”以及“每个诊断信息需要的存储空间”进行配置。例如：当前系统支持的NVMe子系统的个数为3个，那么存储器111的存储空间为30×每个诊断信息需要的存储空间。对于每个诊断信息所需要的存储空间，随着NVMe版本的变化可能会动态变化，不同版本的NVMe子系统可以通过驱动进行配置，并写入NVMe控制器中。
图2为本发明设备管理系统的另一个实施例的结构示意图，如图2所示，本实施例的系统20与图1所示的系统10的区别在于：不是对交换设备11内部的存储空间进行扩容，而是给交换设备11外挂一个存储器15。存储器15与图1中的存储器111功能一致，此处不再赘述。
图3为本发明设备管理系统的又一个实施例的结构示意图，如图3所示，本实施例的系统30与图1所示的系统10的区别在于：本实施例的系统30，还包括：备用交换设备16，备用交换设备16，用于接收并存储交换设备11中存储的诊断信息，当交换设备11出现故障后替换交换设备11，即备用交换设备16承担原来交换设备11的工作。其中，一种实现方式，备用交换设备16存储的交换设备11中存储的诊断信息，是被管理设备发送的；另一种实现方式，备用交换设备16存储的交换设备11中存储的诊断信息，是交换设备11发送的。
图4为本发明设备管理系统的再一个实施例的结构示意图，如图4所示，本实施例的系统40与图2所示的系统20的区别在于：本实施例的系统40，还包括：备用交换设备17，备用交换设备17，用于接收并存储交换设备11中存储的诊断信息，当交换设备11出现故障后替换交换设备11，即备用交换设备17承担原来交换设备11的工作。其中，一种实现方式，备用交换设备17存储的交换设备11中存储的诊断信息，是被管理设备发送的；另一种实现方式，备用交换设备17存储的交换设备11中存储的诊断信息，是交换设备11发送的。
