Embodiment
Please refer to Fig. 1, it illustrates the functional block diagram according to a kind of high density server of one embodiment of the invention.When one of them the Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) at least of a plurality of motherboards of high density server is wrong, Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) image file according to the storage assembly of the backboard that is stored in high density server carries out error return to the Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) that makes a mistake.
High density server comprise a backboard 100, a bus 200 and several motherboards 310,320 ..., 3n0.Backboard 100 comprises a storage assembly 110 and a central management chip 120 of mutual electric connection.Wherein, storage assembly 110 can be flash memory, non-voltile memory or other can be for the storage assembly of access.Each motherboard 310,320 ..., 3n0 comprise respectively baseboard management controller 311,321 ..., 3n1, processing components 312,322 ..., 3n2, Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) 313,323 ..., 3n3.Each processing components 312,322 ..., 3n2 comprise respectively debug module 314,324 ..., 3n4 and reply module 315,325 ..., 3n5.Wherein, debug module 314,324 ..., 3n4 and reply module 315,325 ..., 3n5 can be in fact as the IPMI instrument, with baseboard management controller 311,321 ..., 3n1 links up.
Baseboard management controller 311,321 ..., 3n1 sees through bus 200 and electrically connects central management chips 120.Wherein, bus 200 can be central management chip 120 that Intelligent Platform Management Bus or other can make backboard 100 and baseboard management controller 311,321 ..., 3n1 carries out the bus of data transmission.Each processing components 312,322 ..., 3n2 electrically connect same motherboard baseboard management controller 311,321 ..., 3n1 and Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) 313,323 ..., 3n3.Wherein, processing components 312,322 ..., 3n2 can see through IPMI or other in order to baseboard management controller 311,321 ..., 3n1 carries out the data transmission interface of data transmission, with baseboard management controller 311,321 ..., 3n1 electrically connects.
Each debug module 314,324 ..., 3n4 detect respectively same motherboard Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) 313,323 ..., whether 3n3 wrong.Wherein, debug module 314,324 ..., 3n4 can by check and (checksum) or other debugging method carry out debug.
Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) 313,323 ..., when 3n3 is wrong, the answer module 315,325 of same motherboard ..., 3n5 see through same motherboard baseboard management controller 311,321 ..., 3n1, require central management chip 120 to obtain and return a Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) image file from storage assembly 110.Then, reply module 315,325 ..., 3n5 is according to the Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) image file, to the Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) 313,323 that makes a mistake ..., 3n3 carries out error return.
For instance, debug module 314 on motherboard 310 detects the Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) 313 of same motherboard 310 when wrong, answer module 315 on the motherboard 310 sees through the baseboard management controller 311 of motherboard 310, requires central management chip 120 to obtain and return the Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) image file from storage assembly 110.Then, the answer module 315 of motherboard 310 is carried out error return according to the Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) image file to the Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) 313 that makes a mistake on the motherboard 310.Yet, in other embodiments, when wrong, also can carry out error return by the answer module on its same motherboard as if the Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) of other motherboard, be not limited to present embodiment.Thus, when the Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) that motherboard is arranged makes a mistake, can carry out error return by the image file that is stored in storage assembly.
For fear of when storage assembly 110 does not have the Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) image file, the wrong data of central management chip 120 passbacks are replied failure and make the mistake, and central management chip 120 can comprise a judge module 121.Receive at central management chip 120 when obtaining and returning the requiring of Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) image file, judge module 121 judges whether there is the Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) image file in the storage assembly 110.Wherein, when having the Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) image file in storage assembly 110, judge module 121 makes 110 beginnings of central management chip obtain and return the Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) image file to the motherboard that sends requirement from storage assembly.Thus, can avoid the wrong data of central management chip 120 passbacks, make the mistake and reply failure.
In addition, the renewable basic input and output image file that is stored in its storage assembly 110 of high density server.Therefore, central management chip 120 can comprise a update module 123, in order to when receiving a update instruction, receives another Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) image file, and another Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) image file is updated to storage assembly 110.Wherein, another Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) image file can be contained in the update instruction, or update instruction can comprise the storage location of another Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) image file, obtains for high density server.
In addition, backboard 100 can comprise a data transmission interface 130 or a network interface 140 that electrically connects with central management chip 120.Thus, update instruction can see through data transmission interface 130 and receive, or connects by network interface and network 400, receives update instruction and see through network 400.In other words, the supvr of high density server can send update instruction at the long-range network that sees through, and the image file that is stored in the storage assembly is upgraded.
By the invention described above embodiment as can be known, use the present invention and have following advantage.In a plurality of motherboards of high density server, if when having the Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) of at least one motherboard to make a mistake, each motherboard can be automatically by the image file of the storage assembly that is stored in backboard, the Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) that makes a mistake is carried out error return.In other words, the supvr of high density server does not need to provide image file to the high density server is other in person, just can carry out error return.In addition, when the Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) of a plurality of motherboards made a mistake, not needing provided image file to each motherboard individually, uses during for error return.In addition, can avoid returning wrong data, make the mistake and reply failure by whether having image file in the detecting storage assembly.
Though the present invention discloses as above with embodiment; right its is not in order to qualification the present invention, any person skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; when can being used for a variety of modifications and variations, so protection scope of the present invention is as the criterion when looking the scope that claims define.
