Description

A kind of server flexible firmware is made and implementation method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of server technology field, specifically a kind of server flexible firmware is made and implementation method.
Background technology
The sheet server is widely applied in high-performance calculation and cloud computing service field with its high bulk density, the characteristics optimizing deployment, resource-sharing and be convenient to centralized management, and it has become the main direction of server development.
Blade server system is usually by a plurality of cutter modules, the compositions such as power supply and blower module, administration module.Monitoring management system is the guarantee of server normal operation, usually mainly is divided into system and band external system in band.Whether no matter start shooting the out of band supervision management system can carry out monitoring management to each key index of server by server, applies very extensive.Its mainly in cutter module plate level monitoring management unit (BMC) and the system-level monitoring management of administration module unit (SMC) realize.
Due to the increase of server monitoring regulatory requirement, reach the optimization of Software for Design, need the firmware image of the renewal monitoring management system of not timing.But usually can require to adapt to plurality of application scenes for firmware image, such as OEM manufacturer, Barebone manufacturer, overseas manufacturer etc. often needs to make a plurality of customization versions at every turn simultaneously while therefore issuing new firmware image.Brought trouble so just to engineering construction personnel and factory's installation personnel, they not only will configure different firmware images for different clients, and, along with the iteration increase of firmware version has also brought the problem of bad management.Simultaneously, though because these versions have difference, in the difference at monitoring management interface, its concrete function is essentially identical, so just to the research staff, has increased unnecessary exploitation man-hour, has also increased development cost mostly;
Therefore, how to provide a kind of firmware that meets many application scenarioss to make the practical problem that has just become to need badly solution with implementation method.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of server flexible firmware makes and implementation method.
The objective of the invention is to realize in the following manner, comprising: the 1) entities that exist that adapt to firmware image more; 2) homogeneity of firmware image meets the demand of plurality of application scenes firmware version; 3) making of flexible firmware version and enforcement; Wherein:
1) entities that exist that adapt to firmware image, be the administration module of blade server or the plate level administration module of rack-mount server more,
2) homogeneity of firmware image meets the homogeneity of the firmware image in the demand of plurality of application scenes firmware version, is to realize the customization firmware version of multiple different application scene by same firmware image, and firmware is made and is based on the LINUX system, comprising:
(1) many application scenarioss common information set;
(2) the different information separated of many application scenarioss and extraction;
(3) alternative Info Link algorithm;
(4) revisable system start-up loading is selected mechanism;
(5) firmware image Core Generator;
(6) firmware upgrades interface instruction and interface;
3) making of flexible firmware version and implementing procedure specifically describe as follows:
Step 1: the common information that extracts plurality of application scenes;
Step 2: separate the different information of plurality of application scenes, and arrange respectively file target_folder;
Step 3: but the written document folder size of modification load document system;
Step 4: the hard link file of setting up target_folder under linux/root/conf;
Step 5: revise firmware programming flow process, increase the options of target_folder;
Step 6: increase the outside link unified interface of selecting;
Step 7: towards monitoring management interface calling interface;
Step 8: towards command-line tool encapsulation calling interface;
Step 9: start firmware image and make script, generate the flexible firmware after compiling;
Server adapts to the firmware implementing procedure more and is described below:
Step 1: logon server monitoring management system;
Step 2: judgement server particular type;
Step 3: if server is the centralized management type, select to need the version customized, upgrade the firmware image that is managed module;
Step 4: select to need the version customized, start and upgrade the administration module firmware image;
Step 4: restart administration module;
Step 5: if server is the pedestal management type, select to need the version customized;
Step 6: start and upgrade the administration module firmware image;
Step 7: restart administration module.
The flexible firmware implementation method of administration module is applicable to generic software architecture, and specific firmware upgrades interface operation;
Administration module is for realizing the out of band supervision regulatory requirement of server system, and the core of administration module is the BMC unit, and the flexible firmware image is stored in the inside FLASH of BMC unit.
Same mirror image is exclusive during for the flexible firmware image of every kind of server, and this firmware can be adapted to plurality of application scenes.
System is to the customization of standard LINUX system, and configure dedicated writing in files district, alternative link zone, certain firmware flashburn tools and firmware upgrade interactive instruction.
It is mainly B/S framework and C/S framework that system is directed to server monitoring management, or under two kinds of framework occasions can by local firmware upgrade interface or off-line firmware more the order line of new tool implemented.
In making for server monitoring managed firmware mirror image, how to realize strengthening the adaptability of plurality of application scenes on a firmware, and put into practice, the present invention proposes a kind of server flexible firmware and make and implementation method.
Concrete implementation method.
Wherein, adapt to firmware more and refer to that same firmware can meet the demand of plurality of application scenes;
Wherein, adapt to firmware identical during with plate level administrative unit BMC for administration module SMC more;
Wherein, how adaptation firmwares making flow processs comprise: the extraction of many application scenarioss common information, the different information separated of many application scenarioss and arrangement, realization alternative link algorithm, realize the selection of system start-up loading, revise the firmware burning instrument, increase firmware and upgrade interface instruction;
Wherein, adapt to the firmware implementation method more, be applicable to B/S framework and C/S framework;
Wherein, adapt to the firmware implementation method more, be applicable to more new tool of online firmware renewal and off-line;
Wherein, adapt to the firmware implementation method more, provide same many firmwares to adapt to interface, can be used in monitoring management interface and dos command-line instrument;
The invention has the beneficial effects as follows: utilize the server of the present embodiment to adapt to firmware making and implementation method more, can in same firmware image, realize the flexible demand, with respect to the multiple different methods that customize version, the present invention has reduced the error probability while for adaptation customization version, upgrading firmware, and sameization by firmware improved the operating efficiency that firmware upgrades greatly again.In addition, flexible of the present invention has extendible very by force, along with customizing increasing of version, only need, by customizing Info Link to the intended target point, strengthen the availability of method.
