Embodiment
For the different parts of embodiment of the present invention, below describe many various embodiment or example are provided.The particular example of below describing element and layout is to simplify the present invention.Certainly these only are that example does not plan to limit.Moreover; First parts are formed on and can comprise on second parts that wherein first and second parts are with the embodiment of direct contact formation in below describing; And can comprise that also wherein additional parts formation is inserted into the embodiment in first and second parts, make first and second parts directly not contact.For the sake of simplicity with clear, can be at random with the various parts of different plotted.
When the application of the data center of large-scale cluster and computing center; Usually need carry out BIOS configuration, the distributional pattern that node disperses, data center or computer room administrator to each node; When relating to the maintenance work that needs the BIOS of each node of configuration setting; For the validity that guarantees to dispose, usually need the keeper to do configuration at local KVM node, this will expend a lot of time and efforts.
The objective of the invention is to, through system bios aspect, with the configuration data of individual node based on the UEFI framework; Be packaged into packet; Through procotol or the resident service under operating system, give long-range supervisor console with packet, realize management and the batch configuration concentrated.
To combine accompanying drawing to describe embodiments of the invention in detail below.
Fig. 1 shows the embodiment based on the collocation method of UEFI telemanagement BIOS according to exemplary embodiment of the present invention.As shown in Figure 1; The invention provides a kind of collocation method that can expand fixed interface UEFI telemanagement basic input-output system BIOS based on unification; May further comprise the steps: S101; The BIOS configuration data that the needs of individual node are changed is packaged into capsule capsule packet, and is sent to remote management console; S103, checking comprises the capsule packet of BIOS configuration data, when capsule data and current configuration data do not match, current configuration data is updated to the capsule data; And S105, when data updated territory hardware is relevant, restart system.
The step of preferably, sending the capsule packet is based on that procotol carries out.
Preferably, the step of transmission capsule packet is to carry out in the resident service under operating system.
Preferably, S103 is accomplished by the DXE driver.
Preferably, when capsule data and current configuration data coupling, current configuration is not upgraded.
Fig. 2 shows another embodiment based on the collocation method of UEFI telemanagement BIOS according to exemplary embodiment of the present invention.As shown in Figure 2, also provide a kind of and can expand the collocation method of fixed interface UEFI telemanagement basic input-output system BIOS based on unification, may further comprise the steps: S201 preestablishes a driver module; S203, the system of each node are when BIOS starts, and driver module obtains the BIOS configuration data from the BIOS configuration database of administrative center, and wherein, driver module can be in power-on self-test POST process communicates with the network data base of administrative center; And S205, when the user need change, directly change was changed network data base.
Fig. 3 shows the embodiment based on the inking device of UEFI telemanagement BIOS according to exemplary embodiment of the present invention.As shown in Figure 3; A kind of inking device 300 that can expand fixed interface UEFI telemanagement basic input-output system BIOS based on unification also is provided; Comprise: package module 301; Be used for the BIOS configuration data that the needs of individual node are changed is packaged into capsule capsule packet, and be sent to remote management console; Authentication module 303 is used to verify the capsule packet that comprises the BIOS configuration data, when capsule data and current configuration data do not match, current configuration data is updated to the capsule data; And restart module 305, and be used in the data updated territory hardware when relevant, restart system.
Preferably, send the capsule packet and be based on that procotol carries out.
Preferably, sending the capsule packet is to carry out in the resident service under operating system.
Fig. 4 shows the overview flow chart based on the collocation method of UEFI telemanagement BIOS according to exemplary embodiment of the present invention.Wherein, IT administrative center logs on after the node operating system; Under the operating system of each node, change the configuration data of BIOS SETUP if desired, the configuration data that will use special operating system application program that needs are revised is packaged into the capsule packet.BIOS starts in the POST process; DXE driver checking comprises the capsule packet that BIOS is provided with and disposes; If capsule data and current Data Matching just need not done any change, DXE Capsule drives the driving that just normally returns to kernel mode; If relatively the back finds that the configuration data of capsule data and current setup does not match; Just the capsule Data Update is come in, reach and the hardware degree of correlation according to the change type of data then, determine whether and to carry out restarting systems to machine.
In addition; Also has another kind of scheme; That is, write the driven application of a special DXE agreement Network Based, can be in the POST process with the network data base communication of administrative center; The system of each node when BIOS starts, the driven application of procotol from the BIOS of administrative center be provided with configuration database obtain BIOS setting and configuration data.The IT database allows BIOS to be provided with and configuration far-end BIOS is provided with.If the user need do once change, the change that IT support engineer can only do the BIOS configuration of the database of management node in administrative center, and do not need people's site disposal; Information technology support tells the user to restart system then; In restarting process, change has been detected, and change is changed come into force; Get into normal start-up course, reached the purpose of Remote configuration and batch configuration.
The present technique scheme is in cluster and data center, and scale is 500 data centers more than the node, and the time of centralized configuration and management is 10% of long-range KVM configuration mode, 5% of local KVM configuration mode, and the personal work amount has also shortened greatly.
Replacement scheme be the OOB microcontroller (such as; BMC) form; Management node is the configuration distributing of the BIOS of the management database BMC to each computing node, on local computing node BMC with configuration data with the form of IPMI through BT, the KCS passage sends to BIOS; After BIOS gave detected configuration process and current configuration relatively, whether decision was with new config update.
Discuss the parts of some embodiment above, made those of ordinary skills can understand various aspects of the present invention better.It will be understood by those skilled in the art that can use at an easy rate the present invention design or change as the basis other be used to reach with here the identical purpose of the embodiment that introduces and/or realize the processing and the structure of same advantage.Those of ordinary skills should be appreciated that also this equivalent constructions does not deviate from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and under the situation that does not deviate from the spirit and scope of the present invention, can carry out multiple variation, replacement and change.
