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 some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
When the system updates the BIOS, an MIS operator is required to complete the related updating operation by rebooting the server, but if the server is running a task, the interruption cannot be timely carried out, and the rebooting is not friendly and convenient for the server. Aiming at the defects in the process of updating the BIOS in the related technology, the application provides a new BIOS updating method through the following embodiments, and the effects of updating the BIOS and optimizing the updating process of the BIOS can be achieved on the premise that the server runs without tasks.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a BIOS updating method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
The specific steps may include:
s101: when a BIOS updating instruction is received, inquiring a target task which is being executed at the current moment and starting a BIOS timer;
the execution subject of this embodiment may be a server, and may be applied to a BIOS update process of the server. Before receiving the BIOS update instruction, there may be an operation of storing the BIOS update file to a specific storage space. Because the server needs to be restarted when the BIOS is updated, and if the server is restarted when the server executes some operation tasks, the server may cause a certain degree of damage to the server, when the BIOS update instruction is received, the target task currently being executed by the server is firstly queried, so as to determine the time length required for executing all the target tasks, and then the BIOS is updated after the server does not have the target task to be executed. It is understood that, after receiving the BIOS update command, the server may suspend the task to be executed in the task queue, and execute the task after the BIOS update is completed.
There may be a plurality of timers inside the BIOS, and the BIOS timer mentioned in this step is a timer for setting a specific update time. There may also be an operation of acquiring current time data of a BIOS timer for recording time before this step.
S102: judging whether the time length recorded by the BIOS timer is the preset time length or not; if yes, entering S103; if not, ending the flow;
the preset time length is determined according to the remaining time length for completing the target task, and optionally, the preset time length mentioned herein may be greater than or equal to the remaining time length for completing the target task. The preset duration is an evaluation criterion for judging whether the current time is the time for updating the BIOS, and the calculation mode of the preset duration may be flexibly selected according to the application condition of the embodiment, and is not specifically limited here.
For example, the determination process of S102 is illustrated, for example, the BIOS timer starts to count from 0, and the preset time duration is 10 seconds, so when the time duration recorded by the BIOS timer is 10 seconds, the related BIOS updating operations of S102 and S103 may be performed. As a possible implementation manner, if the duration recorded by the BIOS timer is not the preset duration, a new duration recorded by the BIOS timer may be obtained after delaying for a certain time, and the determining operation of S102 may be re-entered.
S103: generating a BIOS updating event, and acquiring a corresponding BIOS updating file according to the BIOS updating event;
in this step, a BIOS update event is generated based on the determination in S101 that the current time data of the BIOS timer is the preset time data. The BIOS update event is used for reading a cache area of the memory to obtain an update file of the BIOS. As a possible implementation manner, this step may specifically be to obtain a corresponding BIOS update file from a cache of a memory according to the BIOS update event.
S104: and executing BIOS updating operation by using the BIOS updating file.
On the basis of obtaining the BIOS updating file, the step can utilize the BIOS updating file to execute the BIOS updating operation. The step can solve the problem that the re-boot action must be executed at the appointed time due to the relation of the server when the MIS operator burns the BIOS in the related technology in the process of updating the BIOS. The BIOS updating operation of the embodiment is completed without adding hardware modification, so that the operation and maintenance cost of the server can be reduced. As a feasible implementation manner, the embodiment can use the network and the BMC to burn the BIOS, thereby improving the convenience of updating the BIOS.
In this embodiment, when a BIOS update instruction is received, a preset time length is first determined according to a target task that is being executed by a server at the current time and according to a remaining time length for completing the target task. Further, whether the time for updating the BIOS is reached is judged by using the BIOS timer, and when the time recorded by the BIOS timer is consistent with the preset time, the server is indicated that no task is executed and can be restarted at the moment, so that a BIOS updating event is automatically generated so as to obtain a BIOS updating file required by updating the BIOS according to the BIOS updating event, and the updating operation is executed by using the BIOS updating file. The scheme described in the embodiment can update the BIOS on the premise that the server runs without tasks, and the updating flow of the BIOS is optimized.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart of another BIOS updating method according to an embodiment of the present application, and the specific steps may include:
s201: when a BIOS updating instruction is received, inquiring a target task which is being executed at the current moment and starting a BIOS timer;
s202: judging whether the time length recorded by the BIOS timer is the preset time length or not; if yes, entering S203; if not, ending the flow;
s203: and generating a BIOS updating event, and acquiring a corresponding BIOS updating file from a cache of a memory according to the BIOS updating event.
S204: and executing BIOS updating operation by using the BIOS updating file.
S205: and updating the system log and generating prompt information of BIOS updating completion.
As an optional implementation manner, the BIOS updating method of the present application may further issue the preset duration to the BIOS timer by using the BMC. Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a server, in which a timer is disposed inside a BIOS, and an update event of the BIOS is generated by setting time of the timer, and the update event is mainly used to read a buffer of a memory to obtain an update file of the BIOS and update the BIOS. The BIOS updating time can be flexibly adjusted by setting the preset time length through the BMC.
As an optional implementation manner, after the duration recorded by the BIOS timer is the preset duration, the current time data of the BIOS timer may be restored to a default value, and the preset duration may be deleted. When receiving the update time setting information issued by the BMC again, the current time data of the BIOS timer and the preset duration can be set according to the update time setting information.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a BIOS update system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure;
the system may include:
the query module 100 is configured to query a target task currently executed at the current time and start a BIOS timer when a BIOS update instruction is received;

Further, a BIOS update file required for updating the BIOS is obtained according to the BIOS update event, and the update operation is executed by utilizing the BIOS update file. In the embodiment, the server does not need to be restarted to generate the BIOS update event in the BIOS update process, so the scheme described in the embodiment can update the BIOS on the premise of not interrupting the operation of the server, and optimize the update flow of the BIOS.
Further, the file acquiring module 300 includes:
