Abstract
The invention discloses a remote firmware updating method which comprises the steps of: setting a target server into a booting mode based on a PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) supporting protocol so that the target server downloads a system booting program through a network storage path after being booted, boosting under the system, and then downloading a firmware updating program through the network storage path and executing the firmware updating so as to achieve the purpose of remotely updating the firmware.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of firmware update, particularly a kind of remote firmware update method.
Background technology
Generally speaking, the firmware program of being record in the server include ROM-BIOS (Basic Input/Output System, BIOS), baseboard management controller (BMC) and FRU/SDR file etc.The develop rapidly of Along with computer technology, these firmware programs generally all need repeatedly upgrade.For reaching this purpose, prior art is that more new tool is installed respectively on every station server, and then on every station server, upgrades firmware respectively.This kind update mode not only wastes time and energy, and easy error, often occurs server simultaneously and omits the situation of upgrading firmware.
Summary of the invention
For solving the shortcoming of above-mentioned prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a kind of remote firmware update method, to simplify the firmware update operation, increase work efficiency.
For reaching above-mentioned purpose and other relevant purpose; The present invention promptly provides a kind of remote firmware update method; Be used for a control end firmware of a plurality of destination servers is carried out remote update, it comprises: the target setting server is based on supporting the start-up mode of load and execution environmental agreement (PXE) in advance; This control end sends assignment of internet protocol address (IP) to this destination server; This destination server obtains the system start-up program under this system, to start via a network storage path; And this destination server obtains a firmware update program to carry out the remote firmware renewal via this network storage path.
This method also comprises makes this its performed firmware operation of destination server record, upgrades daily record to generate.
This method also comprises makes this destination server that the renewal daily record that is generated is uploaded to this control end, and wherein, this destination server is according to the file access path operations instruction that sets in this firmware update program, and storage should be upgraded daily record.
This firmware update program can be stored in this control end or have in the data storage medium of network communication function.
In sum; Firmware update of the present invention is through after making destination server and starting to PXE; Obtain a system start-up program via a network storage path; Thereby and after this destination server starts this system of entering, make it obtain firmware update program confession execution firmware update operation via this network storage path again, thereby reach the purpose of remote update firmware.
Description of drawings
Fig. 1 is the processing flow chart of the remote firmware update method of an embodiment of the present invention.
[simple declaration of assembly label]
S101～S115 step
Embodiment
Below through specific embodiment technology contents of the present invention is described, those skilled in the art can understand other advantage of the present invention and effect easily by the content that this instructions disclosed.The present invention also can implement or use through other different embodiment, and each item details in this instructions also can be based on different viewpoints and application, carries out various modifications and change under the spirit of the present invention not deviating from.
See also Fig. 1, as shown in the figure for the processing flow chart of the remote firmware update method of an embodiment of the present invention, execution in step S101 at first, the target setting server is supported the start-up mode of PXE agreement, then execution in step S103.
In step S103, make this destination server carry out PXE and start, so that this destination server sends the instruction of IP request for allocation in the start back, then proceed to step S105.
In step S105, make control end receive and respond the IP request for allocation instruction that this destination server transmits, distribute an IP address to give this destination server, so that setting up communication with this control end, this destination server is connected, then proceed to step S107.
In step S107, make this destination server via a network storage path, download a system start-up program, then proceed to step S109.
In step S109, make this destination server utilize this system start-up program to carry out and start, to get into the system job platform that this system start-up program is provided, then proceed to step S111.
In step S111; Make this destination server via this network storage path download firmware refresh routine; In present embodiment; This firmware update program system can be stored in this control end in advance or have in the data storage medium of network communication function, like the ftp server etc., then proceeds to step S113.
In step S113, make this destination server carry out firmware update through the firmware update program of this download, then proceed to step S115.
In step S115; Make this its performed firmware update program of destination server record upgrade daily record to generate; And instruct according to the file access path operations that sets in this firmware update program and to store this renewal daily record, for example can the renewal daily record that this generated be uploaded in this control end unification.
In sum; Remote firmware update method of the present invention; Utilize the PXE technology to start after download a system start-up program automatically by a network storage path in destination server; Thereby supply this destination server to be able under this system, start and download a firmware update program via this network storage path and carry out the firmware update operation, thereby reach the purpose of remote update firmware, increase work efficiency.The present invention also can write down its performed firmware update operation in addition, and instructs according to preset file access path operations and to store the renewal daily record that is generated, and makes things convenient for the firmware update operation of each destination server of system engineer's unified management.
Above-mentioned only in order to illustrate the embodiment of remote firmware update method of the present invention, non-in order to limit the scope of essence technology contents of the present invention.The essence technology contents of remote firmware update method of the present invention broadly is defined in claims; Any technological entity or method that other people are accomplished; If with claims limited identical; Or be the change of equivalence, all will be regarded as among the protection domain that is covered by these claims.
