Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application, generally described and illustrated in the figures herein, can be arranged and designed in a wide variety of different configurations. Thus, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application, presented in the accompanying drawings, is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but is merely representative of selected embodiments of the application. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments of the present application without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

An embodiment of the present application provides a BIOS setting method, as shown in fig. 1, applied to a computing device, the method including the following steps:

s101, establishing a Serial Over Lan (SOL) session with a target device;

here, the target device includes, but is not limited to, a computing device, a mobile terminal, a portable device, a PC, etc., and the target device in the present application is generally a computing device, such as a server.

Establishing an SOL session with a target device specifically comprises the following steps:

connecting the target equipment according to the authentication information of the target equipment;

judging whether the SOL port of the target equipment is opened or not, and if not, indicating the target equipment to open the SOL port;

and establishing an SOL session with the target equipment through the SOL port.

Here, the authentication information is stored in a preset first configuration file, and generally includes information such as a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) Address, a BMC user name, and a password, where the BMC Address is generally a BMC Internet Protocol Address (IP Address).

In a specific implementation, the computing device first reads a first configuration file, and obtains BMC login information, such as information of a BMC address, a BMC username, a password, and the like, from the first configuration file, so that the computing device is connected to the target device.

After the computing device is connected to the target device, whether the SOL port in the target device is opened or not is judged, if the SOL port in the target device is not opened, the target device is instructed to open the SOL port, and the method for opening the SOL port has been described in detail in the prior art, and will not be described too much here. Since the SOL has a characteristic that an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) specification requires support, the application can perform BIOS setting on servers of a plurality of different manufacturers by opening the SOL port. After opening the SOL port, the computing device may remotely display BIOS menu options on the command line using IPMI tools.

The BIOS menu options displayed by the computing device via the SOL session are passed to the IPMI tool via a network (e.g., an IP network). The message (i.e. the BIOS information data packet) returned by the server is captured through the SOL session, and if the message is encrypted, the computing device needs to further decrypt the encrypted message, which increases the workload of the computing device, so that in order to reduce the workload of the computing device, after the SOL port is opened, the encryption function of the SOL port can be closed.

For example, the encryption function of the SOL port may be turned off by the following command:

ip-U user name-P password raw 0x 060 x 550 x 010 x 10 x00 of ipmitool, exe-I lan plus-H management port

S102, sending a setting instruction to the target equipment through the SOL session, and controlling the switching of a menu item of a Basic Input Output System (BIOS) of the target equipment;

here, the setting command includes a cursor right movement command, a cursor left movement command, a cursor up movement command, a cursor down movement command, an enter command, and the like, the menu items of the BIOS include a Main menu item and corresponding sub menu items, the Main menu item may include a Main menu item, an Advanced menu item, a Platform Configuration menu item, a Socket Configuration menu item, and the like, each Main menu item includes a plurality of sub menu items, for example, the Platform Configuration menu item includes a PCH Configuration menu item, a michellaneous Configuration menu item, a Server ME Configuration menu item, and the like, which may be referred to fig. 2. It should be noted here that the BIOS menu items of different vendors may be different, and should be subject to practical conditions.

The switching by the menu item of the BIOS of the SOL session control target device includes the steps of:

sending the setting instruction of cursor right movement or cursor left movement to the target equipment through the SOL session, and controlling the switching between adjacent main menus of the BIOS of the target equipment; and sending the setting instruction of cursor up-movement or cursor down-movement to the target equipment through the SOL session, controlling the switching between adjacent submenus of the same main menu of the BIOS menu of the target equipment, and controlling the switching between adjacent menu items of the same submenu.

Here, the cursor right movement, the cursor left movement, the cursor up movement, the cursor down movement and the carriage return are represented by ASCII codes, for example, ASCII code corresponding to the cursor right movement is \033\133\104, and sending the setting instruction carrying \033\133\104 to the target device can control the BIOS menu item (here, the main menu item) in the target device to move to the right, where the above example is not taken for each setting instruction.

In a specific implementation, if a setting command sent by the computing device to the target device includes an ASCII code representing a cursor moving to the right or left, the target device may move to the left or right in the BIOS main menu according to the received ASCII code; if the setting command sent by the computing device to the target device includes an ASCII code representing the cursor to move up or down, the target device moves up and down in the submenu items of the current BIOS main menu item according to the received ASCII code. If the setting command sent by the computing device to the target device includes an ASCII code representing a carriage return, the target device will enter a submenu item of the current BIOS main menu item according to the received ASCII code.

For example, the current main menu item in the target device is a Socket Configuration menu item, the cursor stays in a Memory Configuration submenu item, if the target device receives an ASCII code representing that the cursor moves to the right, the BIOS main menu item is moved to the right, the menu item after the movement to the right is a Server Management menu item, if the current main menu item is the Socket Configuration menu item, the target device receives a ASCII code representing that the cursor moves down, then the submenu item of the current main menu item is moved down, the submenu item after the movement is an IIO Configuration submenu item, if the current submenu item is the IIO Configuration submenu item, then, the target device receives an ASCII code representing a carriage return, and at this time, the target device enters the IIO Configuration submenu item.

S103, obtaining the message returned by the target device in response to the setting instruction.

Here, the message generally carries the feature code, the name of the menu item, and the like, and the message may be, but is not limited to, a data message, a hypertext transfer protocol message, and the like, which is not limited in this application.

S104, analyzing the message to obtain a feature code representing the current menu item, and determining the current menu item according to the feature code;

here, the feature code is used to represent a display style of the current menu item, and the display style may include a white word with a blue background, a blue word with a grey background, a white word with a grey background, and the like; the method for parsing the message has been described in detail in the prior art, and will not be described too much here.

When the BIOS option is moved in the target device, the currently operated menu item can be distinguished through the background color or font color of the menu item on the BIOS menu interface, so that the computing device can determine the current menu item in the target device through the feature code and the corresponding menu item name carried in the message returned to the computing device by the target device.

In a specific implementation, taking as an example a BIOS interface of a main menu item after switching a BIOS menu item from a Platform Configuration menu item to the menu item, referring to fig. 3, a message obtained by a computing device includes: ASCII code [ 0; 37; 44m, the corresponding feature code is 5b 303 b 33373 b 34346 d, the display style is blue-bottom white, and the corresponding menu item names are Main, Advanced and Platform Configuration; ASCII code [ 0; 34; 47m corresponds to feature code 5b 303 b 33343 b 34376 d with a grey blue character, and the name of the corresponding menu item is Socket Configuration, as shown in fig. 4. The display style of the main menu where the cursor stays is grey blue, the corresponding submenu item is grey white, and the submenu item corresponding to the Socket Configuration menu item can be determined to be the Memory Configuration menu item as the current menu item through the feature code obtained by analysis.

And S105, if the current menu item is the menu item needing to be set, setting the current menu item through the SOL session.

Setting the current menu item through the SOL session, comprising the following steps:

Specifically, the setting the current menu item through the SOL session includes:

sending a setting instruction of cursor right movement or carriage return to the target equipment through the SOL session, and switching from the current menu item to a setting item of the current menu item;

In a specific implementation, after the current menu item is determined, the ASCII code representing carriage return or cursor right movement is sent to the target device, the target device is controlled to be switched to the setting item of the current menu item from the current menu item, and further, the computing device sends the ASCII code representing cursor up movement or cursor down movement to the target device, and the setting item of the current menu item is switched to the target setting item.

For example, if the setting item corresponding to the PCIe PLL SSC menu item is Disable, the target setting item of the PCIe PLL SSC menu item is Auto, and the PCIe PLL SSC menu item is switched from the setting item Disable to the target setting item Auto by moving up or down the cursor.

It should be noted that, if the setting item of the current menu item has a dependent menu item, the second configuration file stores information of the dependent menu item in advance, and when the setting item of the current menu item is set, the setting item of the dependent menu item of the setting item needs to be set.

For example, the current main menu item is a Platform Configuration menu item, a sub-menu item in the Platform Configuration menu item is a michelsaneous Configuration menu item, the michelsaneous Configuration menu item includes a Debug Mode menu item, and the Debug Mode menu item is a dependent item of the SOL Mode menu item, that is, if a setting item of the Debug Mode menu item is Disabled, the SOL Mode menu item is not displayed in the BIOS interface, and only after the setting item of the Debug Mode menu item is set to Enabled, the SOL Mode menu item is displayed in the sub-menu of the michelsaneous Configuration menu item, and the SOL Mode menu item is further set.

The computing device stores a first configuration file, and also stores a second configuration file in advance, where the second configuration file includes setting information of a BIOS menu item, and the second configuration file may be preset by a user or a file exported from a server, and the application is not limited thereto.

The second configuration file may include a plurality of main menu items and setting items, each main menu item includes a plurality of sub-menu items, and each sub-menu item includes a sub-menu item. For example, with the Platform Configuration menu item as a main menu item, the main menu item includes a PCH Configuration menu item, a Miscellaneous Configuration menu item, the PCH Configuration menu item includes a PCH Devices menu item, the PCH Devices menu item includes a PCIe PLL SSC menu item, and a setting item corresponding to the PCIe PLL SSC menu item is Auto, which can refer to fig. 5.

In a specific implementation, if the setting information of the BIOS menu item included in the second configuration file is: the method comprises the steps that a main menu item Platform Configuration is adopted, a sub-menu item corresponding to the main menu item is a PCH Configuration menu item, a sub-menu item corresponding to the PCH Configuration menu item is a PCH Devices menu item, a sub-menu item corresponding to the PCH Devices menu item is a PCIe PLL SSC menu item, the PCIe PLL SSC menu item is also a setting item, and a value to be set is Auto.

In the prior art, an IPMI command is sent to a BMC of a server, a BIOS menu item is set by the BMC, and if the IPMI command includes a BIOS menu item that the server cannot set, the server cannot complete the setting. According to the method and the device, the BIOS menu items in the target device are controlled to be switched through the SOL session, the message returned by the target device is captured, the BIOS menu items in the target device are set, the probability of BIOS configuration failure of the target device is reduced, and the user experience is improved.

Referring to fig. 6, in one embodiment, the first configuration file of the computing device stores authentication information (such as a BMC address and a password) of the target device, and after acquiring the first configuration file and the second configuration file, the computing device includes the following steps:

s601, connecting the target equipment according to the BMC address and the password of the target equipment in the first configuration file, and opening an SOL port in the target equipment;

s602, judging whether an SOL port in the target equipment is opened or not, if so, executing S603; if not, S601 is executed.

Here, if the start of the SOL port in the target device fails, the log file including the SOL port information of which the start fails is saved, so that the user can analyze the cause of the start failure of the SOL port through the log file, and the process returns to execute step S601.

S603, closing the encryption function of the SOL port;

s604, acquiring and analyzing a BIOS information data packet of the target equipment through the SOL session to obtain a current menu item; the BIOS information data packet comprises the feature codes and the corresponding menu item names, and the current menu item can be determined through the feature codes.

For example, the current main menu item obtained by analyzing the BIOS information packet is a Socket Configuration menu item, and the corresponding sub-menu item is a Memory Configuration menu item.

S605, comparing the current menu item with the BIOS menu item in the second configuration file. If the current menu item is not consistent with the BIOS menu item in the second configuration file, executing S606; if the current menu item is consistent with the BIOS menu item in the second configuration file, S607 is executed.

Continuing with the example in step S604, the BIOS menu item in the second configuration file comprises: the method is a main menu item Platform Configuration, the main menu item comprises a PCH Configuration menu item and a Miscellaneous Configuration menu item, the PCH Configuration menu item comprises a PCH Devices menu item, the PCH Devices menu item comprises a PCIe PLL SSC menu item, and the setting item corresponding to the PCIe PLL SSC menu item is Auto. After comparing the Socket Configuration menu item with the Platform Configuration menu item, it is determined that the current menu item is inconsistent with the corresponding BIOS menu item in the second Configuration file, and step S606 is performed.

S606, sending a setting instruction to the target device, and returning to execute S604 after sending the setting instruction to the target device.

In a specific implementation, the computing device sends a setting instruction to the target device according to a preset rule.

For example, continuing the example in step S605, the computing device sends a setting instruction for right movement of the cursor to the target device, and after the main menu item in the target device is moved to the right, step S604 is executed, repeating the steps of S604 to S606 until the cursor is moved to the PCIe PLL SSC menu item in the PCH Devices menu item in the PCH Configuration menu item in the Platform Configuration menu item.

S607, setting the current menu item through the SOL session.

Continuing with the example in step S606, the current menu item is the PCIe PLL SSC menu item, a setting instruction (cursor up or cursor down) is sent to the target device, and the setting item corresponding to the PCIe PLL SSC menu item is set to AUTO. Here, the setting instruction for setting the setting item transmitted to the target device according to the preset cursor movement rule, for example, only the cursor up-movement setting instruction in the transmitted setting command.

When the authentication information of the plurality of target devices is stored in the first profile, the steps of S601 to S607 may be performed for each target device until the setting of each target device in the first profile is completed. Here, the target devices in the first configuration file generally belong to the same manufacturer, and if the stored target devices belong to different manufacturers, BIOS menu items that need to be set in the target devices of different manufacturers may be different, and the BIOS menu items that need to be set and are stored in the second configuration file may not be common to different manufacturers, which may result in a failure in batch configuration of the target devices.
