Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the following embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It should be noted that all expressions using "first" and "second" in the embodiments of the present invention are used for distinguishing two entities with the same name but different names or different parameters, and it should be noted that "first" and "second" are merely for convenience of description and should not be construed as limitations of the embodiments of the present invention, and they are not described in any more detail in the following embodiments.

In view of the above object, a first aspect of the embodiments of the present invention provides an embodiment of a method for extending a server function. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an embodiment of a method for extending a server function provided by the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

s1, responding to the received requirement of the expansion server function, decomposing the requirement into a plurality of basic functions;

s2, matching a plurality of basic functions in the function library of the server, and determining the basic functions which are not successfully matched;

s3, respectively creating patch files according to the basic functions which are not successfully matched, and storing the patch files in a patch area; and

and S4, redirecting the calling function to establish the association between the calling function and the corresponding patch file in the patch area, and running the corresponding patch file through the calling function.

When a client proposes a requirement, the requirement is found to be incompatible on the current universal version after evaluation, and if import may conflict with the existing functions of the project, the version release of the project is affected. Therefore, a module loading mode is adopted, and firstly, requirements are decomposed to form specific function points. And then developing module patch codes based on the function points, generating a corresponding so file, and packaging the so file through a module patch tool to generate a patch. And then uploading the command to a BMC system through a specified command, and executing the function of loading, activating and running the action guide module to take effect. Mod when the version is provided to the client later, a general version and the module patch file patch are required to be provided. The client can select whether to load the module function according to the own needs, so that the flexible control is facilitated. In the later period, if the client has a new function requirement, the client can load the corresponding module patch only by providing the corresponding module patch, so that the aim of rapid deployment is fulfilled.

In some embodiments, a function library may be added to the system for storing a plurality of commonly used basic functions, and after a customer's request is received, the corresponding basic function may be searched in the function library, and if the basic function can be matched, the corresponding basic function may be directly called, and if the basic function cannot be matched, the corresponding basic function may be added.

And respectively creating patch files according to the basic functions which are not successfully matched, and storing the patch files in the patch area. Mod is a patch file generated by encapsulating executable files of a set of function sets with relevant header description information by a module patching tool, which is a file that is ultimately used to load and run on a device. The patch area is a space which is divided from the BMC space and is specially used for storing the patch file, and the starting address and the ending address of the space can be specified in the BMC file and are used for running the patch file.

And redirecting the calling function to establish the association between the calling function and the corresponding patch file in the patch area, and running the corresponding patch file through the calling function. The first instruction of the hook module _ init () function initialized by the platform module can be modified into a jump instruction through a patch mod active command, so that the initialization entry address of the corresponding patch file of the patch area can be jumped to. The BMC may be enabled to re-invoke the module _ init () function via a patch module run command to validate the module function and also to identify that the current module is running.

In some embodiments, further comprising: and responding to the successful execution of the patch file, and writing the patch file into a function library of the server. After the patch file is successfully executed, the patch file can be added into a function library, so that the newly added function can be reserved.

The following description will be given by taking the function of the newly added PCIE card as an example:

and in response to the receiving of the function of the newly added PCIE card, the function is decomposed into a function of collecting temperature information by the BMC and a function of collecting current information by the BMC. The two functions are matched with the basic functions in the function library, the function of collecting the current information by the BMC is added into the function library, but the temperature information collected by the BMC does not exist, and a patch file of collecting the temperature information by the BMC can be created, for example:

compiling a module patch function file through a module patch tool, and then generating a patch file patch.mod through a packaging script; the patch.mod file is uploaded to the/tmp/directory of the BMC; executing module patch loading patch modload, wherein the loading process is a file writing process and takes dotting as waiting time; activating a patch through a patch mod active command; patch is run via patch mod run command; whether the pcie temperature can be normally acquired can be checked through a command so as to verify whether the module patch is effective.

It should be particularly noted that, the steps in the embodiments of the method for extending the server function may be mutually intersected, replaced, added, or deleted, and therefore, these methods for extending the server function that are reasonably arranged, combined and transformed shall also belong to the scope of the present invention, and shall not limit the scope of the present invention to the embodiments.
