Abstract
A substrate management controller system comprises a substrate management controller, a main memory, a stand-by memory and a switching part, wherein starting programs of the substrate management controller are respectively stored in the main memory and the stand-by memory. The substrate management controller invokes the program stored in the main memory to be normally started and selects to be connected to the main memory or the stand-by memory through the switching part. When the program stored in the main memory breaks down, the switching part controls the substrate management controller to invoke the program stored in the stand-by memory to be started through manual operation. The substrate management controller system updates the program stored in the main memory to lead the substrate management controller to invoke the recovered program stored in the main memory to be re-started, and the stand-by memory recovers to the stand-by state.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of baseboard management controller system, relate in particular to a kind of baseboard management controller system with multiple repair mode.
Background technology
(Baseboard Management Controller BMC) selects to be connected to a primary memory and a backup of memory by a multi-way switch baseboard management controller usually, and the normal startup by calling program stored in this primary memory.When program stored in the primary memory breaks down and makes that BMC can't start, described BMC also can program stored normally starts in the backup of memory by calling, the interior program stored of the described primary memory that upgrades in time then, this BMC can program stored restarts in the primary memory by calling, described backup of memory then returns to stand-by state, when preventing that described primary memory from breaking down again, this BMC can and repair described primary memory by the program start stored in the backup of memory.Yet,, can't upgrade program stored in the described primary memory and realize automatic reparation because multi-way switch operation irregularity etc. is former thereby can't automatically switch to the program of calling in the backup of memory time, described BMC can't normally start as described BMC.
Summary of the invention
In view of above content, be necessary to provide a kind of baseboard management controller system with multiple repair mode.
A kind of baseboard management controller system, comprise baseboard management controller, primary memory, backup of memory and switching part, all store the start-up routine of baseboard management controller in described primary memory and the backup of memory, described baseboard management controller calls program stored in the primary memory and normal the startup, described baseboard management controller selects to be connected to primary memory or backup of memory by switching part, when program stored breaks down in the primary memory, described switching part is controlled baseboard management controller and is called program stored in the backup of memory under manual operation, make baseboard management controller call in the backup of memory program stored and start, program stored in this baseboard management controller system update primary memory, baseboard management controller is restarted by the program of calling in the primary memory after the recovery, and backup of memory returns to stand-by state.
In the described baseboard management controller system, the start-up routine of storing in described primary memory breaks down and can't normally start described baseboard management controller, and when described baseboard management controller system can't realize repairing automatically, also but this baseboard management controller system of manual operation realizes repairing, and uses more convenient.
