Step 203, after the service node main system powered on or restarts, main system was transferred the administration order of preserving among the BMC automatically.
This process can be finished by the BIOS of main system on the service node, also can be by the BOOTROM of main system, and U-BOOT etc. have the start-up routine of value-added tax function to be realized, is example with the BIOS start-up routine all for the ease of understanding among the following embodiment.After the main system of service node powers on or restarts, the BMC of the BIOS of main system on this service node of trend sends the instruction of obtaining administration order on the service node, after this BMC obtains instruction, the administration order of preserving is fed back to the BIOS of main system, for example the article one in SOI district is instructed the BIOS that feeds back to main system; Wherein, this BIOS sends the instruction of obtaining administration order and allows self-defining OEM order for the IPMI agreement to BMC, comprise manufacturer's sequence number and the sequence number of representing administration order, if represent installation order and upgrading order respectively with sequence number 1 and sequence number 0, then BMC feeds back to sequence number 1 or sequence number 0 BIOS of main system on the service node.
As shown in Figure 3, for the embodiment of the invention is the flow chart that a kind of BIOS that utilizes the service node main system of the embodiment of the invention manages, may further comprise the steps:
Step 301, distance host is specified the service node that need operate by system management unit, and the BMC on the service node of this appointment issues administration order.
The system manager is by distance host access system management board, and issue administration order by the BMC of system management unit on the service node of appointment, wherein this administration order allows self-defining OEM order for the IPMI agreement, the sequence number that this OEM order comprises manufacturer's sequence number at least and represents administration order, wherein the corresponding relation of sequence number and administration order can be set up on their own by the keeper, for example, represent installation order and upgrading order respectively with sequence number 1 and sequence number 0 in the present embodiment but the embodiment of the invention also can be set up corresponding relation with administration order by alternate manner, as letter, symbol etc.
Step 302, the administration order that the BMC on the service node issues distance host is preserved, and the main system of service node powered on or restarts.
After BMC on the described service node receives described administration order, resolve this administration order and preservation is ordered in installation in this administration order or upgrading.BMC can will install or the upgrading order is kept on the memory cell of himself inside, also can be saved in the external memory of BMC on.The embodiment of the invention provides a kind of and has divided a fixed area as self-defining command messages instruction storage area at EEPROM, and the method for definition SOI, the order of will installing or upgrade of this method is left in first instruction block in this zone, and the number of times that service node is installed failure leaves in second instruction block in this zone; This BMC feeds back to system management unit by self-defining OEM order with event memory, and power on or restart to the main system on the service node, this moment is owing to exist a plurality of service nodes usually in the ATCA IA frame serverPC, for the unspecified service node of other distance host, operation to the specified services node does not influence other unspecified service nodes, and each unspecified service node can carry out regular traffic to be handled.
Step 303, after service node powered on or restarts, the BIOS of service node main system transferred the administration order of preserving among the BMC automatically.After the main system of service node powers on or restarts, the BMC of the BIOS of main system on this service node sends the instruction of obtaining administration order on the service node, after BMC obtains this instruction, the administration order of preserving is fed back to the BIOS of main system, for example the article one in SOI district is instructed to feed back to BIOS.Wherein, the BIOS of this main system sends the instruction of obtaining administration order and allows self-defining OEM order for the IPMI agreement to BMC, the sequence number that this OEM order comprises manufacturer's sequence number at least and represents administration order, represent installation order and upgrading order respectively with sequence number 1 and sequence number 0 in the present embodiment, then BMC feeds back to sequence number 1 or sequence number 0 BIOS of main system on the service node.
Step 304 judges whether the administration order that the BIOS of main system transfers on the service node is empty from BMC.
Step 305, the administration order of transferring from BMC as the BIOS of main system on the service node are when empty, and service node connects by power board and distance host.
This connection procedure is as follows, at first on distance host, start TFTP service and DHCP service in advance, when the administration order that the BIOS of main system transfers in judgement on the service node is not empty, the BIOS of restarting the back main system arrives the PXE agreement as internal memory, and call basic passage network interface on the network interface ROM program initialization service node that the PXE agreement generates, this network interface ROM program is generated by the PXE agreement, when the basic passage on the service node is replaced by the interchange channel, also can call the interchange channel network interface on this service node of network interface ROM program initialization; After the network interface initialization on this service node, obtain the IP address of this network interface by the DHCP agreement, obtain behind this IP address by power board and set up being connected between service node and the distance host, also can be directly when the interface of service node has the IP function and distance host connect.
Step 306, service node obtains image file and installation from distance host.
Service node obtains the startup software and the image file of customization from distance host, starts software and is responsible for copying to image file under the startup catalogue and installing.If distance host issue for installation order start software and also need to format starting device, as hard disk, and the initialization files system.
Step 307 is if the administration order that BIOS transfers from BMC, illustrates then that this service node does not need to install or upgrading, then enters normal start-up routine and begins Business Processing for empty.
As shown in Figure 4, the flow chart for embodiment of the invention another kind utilizes service node BIOS to manage may further comprise the steps:
Step 401, distance host is specified the service node that need operate by system management unit, and the BMC on the service node of this appointment issues administration order.
The system manager is by distance host access system management board, and issue administration order to the BMC that formulates on the service node by system management unit, wherein this administration order allows self-defining OEM order for the IPMI agreement, the sequence number that this OEM order comprises manufacturer's sequence number at least and represents administration order is for example represented installation order and upgrading order respectively with sequence number 1 and sequence number 0.
Step 402, the administration order that the BMC of service node issues distance host is preserved, and the main system of service node powered on or restarts.
After BMC on the described service node receives described administration order, resolve this administration order and preservation is ordered in installation in this administration order or upgrading.BMC can will install or the upgrading order is kept on the memory cell of himself inside, also can be saved in the external memory of BMC on.The embodiment of the invention provides a kind of and has divided a fixed area as self-defining command messages instruction storage area at EEPROM, and the method for definition SOI, the order of will installing or upgrade of this method is left in first instruction block in this zone, and the number of times that service node is installed failure leaves in second instruction block in this zone; This BMC feeds back to system management unit by self-defining OEM order with event memory, and power on or restart to the main system on the service node, this moment is owing to exist a plurality of service nodes usually in the ATCA IA frame serverPC, for the unspecified service node of other distance host, operation to the specified services node does not influence other unspecified service nodes, and each unspecified service node can carry out regular traffic to be handled.
Step 403, after service node powered on or restarts, the BIOS of main system transferred the administration order of preserving among the service node BMC automatically on the service node.
After the main system of service node powers on or restarts, the BMC of the BIOS of main system on this service node sends the instruction of obtaining administration order on the service node, after BMC obtains this instruction, the administration order of preserving is fed back to the BIOS of main system, for example the article one in SOI district is instructed to feed back to BIOS.Wherein, the BIOS of this main system sends the instruction of obtaining administration order and allows self-defining OEM order for the IPMI agreement to BMC, the sequence number that this OEM order comprises manufacturer's sequence number at least and represents administration order, represent installation order and upgrading order respectively with sequence number 1 and sequence number 0 in the present embodiment, then BMC feeds back to sequence number 1 or sequence number 0 BIOS of main system on the service node.
Step 404 judges whether the administration order of transferring is empty from the BMC of service node.
Step 405 if the administration order that the BIOS of main system transfers on the service node, illustrates then that this service node does not need to install or upgrading for empty, then normally starts the beginning Business Processing from the BMC of service node.
Step 406 if the administration order that the BIOS of main system transfers on the service node does not connect for sky then service node and distance host, and is obtained image file and installation from distance host from the BMC of service node.
This connects with the process of transfer of data as follows, at first on distance host, start TFTP service and DHCP service in advance, when the administration order that the BIOS of main system transfers in judgement on the service node is not empty, the BIOS of restarting the back main system arrives the PXE agreement as internal memory, and call basic passage network interface on the network interface ROM program initialization service node that the PXE agreement generates, this network interface ROM program is generated by the PXE agreement, when the basic passage on the service node is replaced by the interchange channel, also can call the interchange channel network interface on this service node of network interface ROM program initialization; After the network interface initialization on this service node, obtain the IP address of this network interface by the DHCP agreement, obtain behind this IP address by power board and set up being connected between service node and the distance host, also can be directly when the interface of service node has the IP function and distance host connect.After service node and distance host connect, obtain the startup software and the image file of customization, start software and be responsible for copying to image file under the startup catalogue and installing from distance host.If distance host issue for installation order start software and also need to format starting device, as hard disk, and the initialization files system.
Step 407, the BMC of the BIOS of main system on service node sends execution result on the service node.
The BMC on service node sends self-defining OEM order to the BIOS of main system according to step 406 installation or upgrading implementation status on the service node, this order allows self-defining OEM order for the IPMI agreement, if install or upgrade successfully then the BMC transmission of the BIOS of main system on service node has the order of successful information, this BMC after receiving this order removes the administration order of preserving, and for example removes first instruction block in SOI district and the content in second instruction block; , installation or upgrading have the order of failure information if failing to the BMC transmission, BMC receives this order back record frequency of failure, for example the frequency of failure that writes down in second instruction block is added 1, and when this frequency of failure exceeds pre-determined number, pass through system management unit reporting system keeper, whether continue retry or cancellation execution by system manager's decision.If determining to continue retry, the system manager issues administration order by system management unit to the BMC that formulates on the service node once more; If determining to cancel execution, the system manager administration order of preserving among the last BMC is removed by system management unit.
Step 408, BMC is restarted the main system on the service node behind the execution result that the BIOS that receives main system sends.
Step 409, after the main system on the service node was restarted, the BIOS of main system judged that installed last time or whether upgrading is successful.If installed last time or upgraded successfully then the BIOS of main system will directly enter normal start-up routine after restarting; If installed last time or upgrading is failed then the BIOS of main system transfers the administration order of preserving on the BMC once more after restarting, install again or upgrade, promptly enter step 403.
Can make based on ATCA IA frame serverPC by embodiments of the invention does not need the intervention of distance supervisor just can carry out intelligent Fast Installation and upgrading.And only can upgrading be installed, and can not influence the regular traffic flow process that other do not need to install the service node of upgrading at the service node that needs are installed upgrading.Because the function of exchange that has of ATCA framework, therefore can realize that a plurality of service nodes install upgrading simultaneously by power board.
The above only is a preferred implementation of the present invention; should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, under the prerequisite that does not break away from the principle of the invention; can also make some improvements and modifications, these improvements and modifications also should be considered as protection scope of the present invention.
