Abstract
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.
