Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing structural principle of the present invention and principle of work are done concrete description:
Please refer to shown in Figure 1ly, it is the block scheme of server system of the present invention.Server system 100 comprises a plurality of node 110_1~110_N, database 120 and update module 130, and wherein N is the positive integer greater than 1.Server system 100 for example is i.e. service (Infrastructure as a Service, counter formula (Container) data center (Data Center) IaaS) of providing infrastructures.
Node 110_1~110_N has nodal information separately.Wherein, nodal information for example comprises the production code member of node, general unique identifier (Universally Unique Identifier for example, UUID), the Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) of node (Basic Input Output System, BIOS) firmware version and the baseboard management controller of node (Baseboard Management Controller, firmware version BMC).For instance, for example with " 110_1, version 1, version 2 " expression, all the other node 110_2~110_N then analogize the nodal information of node 110_1.
Database 120 is used for the nodal information of storage node 110_1~110_N.In the present embodiment, for example can obtain the nodal information of each node 110_1~110_N by baseboard management controller, and each nodal information is stored in database 120.Update module 130 couples node 110_1~110_N and database 120, upgrades encapsulation of data in order to receive firmware.Wherein, firmware upgrades encapsulation of data can be uploaded to the update module of server system 100 by network by client, server system 100 is carried out firmware upgrades so that update module can utilize firmware to upgrade encapsulation of data.
Then, update module 130 can be upgraded encapsulation of data and aforementioned nodes information according to firmware, hunts out the node that needs renewal in the mode of tabling look-up.Wherein, firmware upgrades encapsulation of data and for example has the renewal data list, and upgrades production code member and its firmware version of the node that includes the desire renewal in the data list.Therefore, update module then can be according to aforesaid renewal data list and nodal information, needs the node that upgrades and hunt out.For convenience of description, needing the node of renewal is example with node 110_1,110_2 and 110_3.
After finding the node that need to upgrade, update module 130 is arranged each self-corresponding priority of egress 110_1~110_3 according to upgrading order policies, and sets up to upgrade tabulation and will upgrade to tabulate with priority and be stored in database 120.In the present embodiment, node 110_1~110_N can be divided into service node (Service Node), compute node (Computing Node) and storage node (Storage Node), wherein service node is in order to provide related service and data to client, compute node is in order to carry out data operation, and storage node is in order to storage data.
For instance, aforesaid renewal order policies for example is service node, storage node and computing node in regular turn, and node 110_1 for example is storage node, and node 110_2 for example is compute node, and node 110_3 for example is service node.Therefore, by above-mentioned renewal order policies, the more new sequences that update module 130 is arranged out is node 110_3,110_1 and 110_2, and with this more new sequences build on and upgrade in the tabulation.
Afterwards, update module 130 according to upgrading tabulation, is carried out firmware to node 110_3,110_1 and 110_2 in regular turn and is upgraded again, and more new node 110_3,110_1 tabulate with nodal information and the renewal of 110_2.Thus, the server system 100 of present embodiment can be under the less situation of effectiveness affects, automatically needs is carried out node that firmware upgrades and finishes firmware and upgrade.
Below, the update module 130 that further specifies present embodiment is carried out the detail operations that firmware upgrades.
At first, update module 130 can be according to upgrading tabulation, by selecting the highest node of priority as new node more among node 110_1~110_3, so that new node is more upgraded.Because the priority of node 110_3 is for the highest, so update module 130 can preferentially be selected more new node of node 110_3 conduct, so that new node 110_3 is more upgraded.And after the firmware renewal was finished, update module 130 is the nodal information of new node 110_3, for example " 110_3, version 1, version 3 " more.And, will be more new node 110_3 remove by upgrading in the tabulation, therefore, upgrade in the tabulation only surplus node 110_1,110_2.
Whether then, update module 130 is according to upgrading tabulation, detect all nodes and upgrade and finish.Still have node 110_1,110_2 owing to upgrade in the tabulation, so update module 130 can detect all nodes and do not upgrade and finish, then whether the quantity can further decision node upgraded of update module 130 reaches critical value.Because when node carries out the firmware renewal, more new node isolates from the running of server system 100, and after the firmware renewal is finished, incite somebody to action the more running of new node adding server system again, so may reduce the operational paradigm of server system 100.Hence one can see that, and the firmware that carries out node in a large number upgrades, and may significantly reduce the operational paradigm of server system 100.Therefore, the user can set the quantity (being critical value) of the node of each firmware renewal, uses the operational paradigm of avoiding influencing server system 100.
Suppose that critical value setting is 2, be limited to 2 on the quantity of the node that every this firmware of expression upgrades, but the present invention is not as limit.Because the aforementioned firmware that only carries out node 110_3 upgrades, so the renewal quantity of update module 130 meeting decision node does not reach critical value.Then, update module 130 is again according to upgrading tabulation, by selecting more new node of the highest node conduct of priority among node 110_1~110_2.Owing to upgrade in the tabulation only surplus node 110_1,110_2, and the priority of node 110_1 is higher than node 110_2, so update module 130 can select node 110_1 as new node more, so that node 110_1 is upgraded.
Afterwards, update module 110 is understood the more nodal information of new node 110_1, for example " 110_1, version 1, version 3 ".Afterwards, update module 130 can continue according to upgrading tabulation, and the highest node of priority in the node of selecting to need to upgrade upgrades to carry out firmware, till all node updates are finished.
On the other hand, when update module 130 had been upgraded node 110_3,110_1, then the node quantity of finishing renewal had reached 2.At this moment, the renewal quantity that update module 130 can be judged node reaches critical value, so update module 130 can be waited for the schedule time, again according to upgrading tabulation, by selecting more new node of the highest node conduct of priority in the node, so that new node is more upgraded, till all node updates are finished.Wherein, the aforementioned schedule time can be adjusted voluntarily by the user, for example 6 hours, half a day or one day, uses the firmware of avoiding carrying out node in a large number and upgrades and the operational paradigm of reduction server system 100.
Update module 130 can judge more whether the charge capacity of new node surpasses preset value.Wherein, aforementioned preset value for example is set at 60% of node full load amount.That is to say that more the charge capacity of new node will be lower than 60% of its full load amount, update module 130 gives that just new node is more carried out firmware and upgrades, and then reduces the influence to the operational paradigm of server system 100.
If judge that more the charge capacity of new node surpasses preset value, represent that this node is in the computing of carrying out mass data or transmission.In order not influence the operational paradigm of server system 100, so update module 130 is again according to upgrading tabulation, continues by selecting the highest node of priority as new node more in the node.On the other hand, surpass preset value if judge the charge capacity of new node more, then update module 130 just can be upgraded new node more.Thus, can avoid node under the situation of high capacity, to carry out firmware and upgrade, and the operational paradigm of reduction server system 100.
In addition, new node is more being carried out firmware when upgrading, update module 130 more can be judged more whether operation system (OS) of new node, judges namely that also more new node is the normal operation pattern or is standby mode.If judge more new node operation system, represent that more new node is the normal operation pattern, update module 130 utilize firmware that firmware upgrades encapsulation of data more new data carry out online member updating, so that new node is more upgraded.
For instance, update module 130 also can further be judged the kind of the version that upgrades firmware, and for example the firmware of Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) or baseboard management controller upgrades.If judging the kind of firmware renewal is Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) or baseboard management controller, update module 130 can be upgraded firmware encapsulation of data and unties and be firmware data new tool more, in order to the firmware of Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) or baseboard management controller is upgraded Data Update to new node more.And, in firmware upgrade finish after, more new node restarts (Reboot), and (Reset) baseboard management controller of resetting, so that more the Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) of new node or the new firmware of baseboard management controller utilization operate.In addition, after updating BIOS is finished, can transmit intelligent platform supervision interface (Intelligent Platform Management Interface, IPMI) instruction gives baseboard management controller to inform its update mode, in order to upgrade more nodal information and the renewal tabulation of new node.
If judging the kind of firmware renewal is baseboard management controller, update module 130 can be upgraded the firmware new data more that takes out baseboard management controller in the encapsulation of data by firmware, and the firmware that the instruction of recycling intelligent platform supervision interface goes to carry out baseboard management controller upgrades.And after the firmware renewal was finished, the more baseboard management controller of new node of resetting was so that more the baseboard management controller of new node uses new firmware to operate.
On the other hand, if judge more new node off-duty operating system, represent that more new node is standby mode, this moment, update module utilized firmware to upgrade image file (ISO file) the open operation system of encapsulation of data, more newly arrives new node is more upgraded to carry out the off-line firmware.Wherein, aforementioned image file can comprise the operating system of can starting shooting (Bootable OS) and automatically perform file, and more new node can move the aforementioned operation system.
For instance, update module 130 more can further be judged the kind of the version that upgrades firmware, and for example the firmware of Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) or baseboard management controller upgrades.If judging the kind of firmware renewal is Basic Input or Output System (BIOS), update module 130 meeting carry firmwares upgrade the image file of encapsulation of data and give more new node, to carry out more new node image file start thus, and in the process of start, carry out the aforementioned file that automatically performs, with the firmware that upgrades Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) or baseboard management controller (with regard to real the work, for example, update module 130 can be by new node more baseboard management controller image file that firmware is upgraded encapsulation of data be set as the CD sheet of the virtual CD machine of making baseboard management controller, and by the baseboard management controller of new node more make more new node thus virtual CD machine start the operating system, but not as limit).
And, in firmware upgrade finish after, more new node restarts (Reboot), and (Reset) baseboard management controller of resetting, so that more the Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) of new node or the new firmware of baseboard management controller utilization operate.In addition, after updating BIOS is finished, can transmit intelligent platform supervision interface and instruct to baseboard management controller to inform its update mode, in order to upgrade more nodal information and the renewal tabulation of new node.
If judging the kind of firmware renewal is baseboard management controller, update module 130 can be upgraded the firmware new data more that takes out baseboard management controller in the encapsulation of data by firmware, and the firmware that the instruction of recycling intelligent platform supervision interface goes to carry out baseboard management controller upgrades.And after the firmware renewal was finished, the more baseboard management controller of new node of resetting was so that more the baseboard management controller of new node uses new firmware to operate.
