Abstract
The invention discloses a method for preventing a BIOS+ME FW online refresh failure, and relates to a computer refresh technology. Refresh scripts interact with a BMC through a BMC OEM IPMI command; before the BIOS+ME FW is refreshed, an ipmitool sends a stop visiting ME command to the BMC, the BMC stops visiting the ME after receiving the command, and the refreshing tool starts to refresh the BIOS+ME FW; after the refresh is ended, the ipmitool sends a continue to visit the ME command to the BMC, and the BMC continues to visit the ME; the ipmitool is shut down and then started, so as to restart the server to complete the entire refresh process. The method provided by the invention is simple in implementation process and easy to operate, can prevent the BMC from continuously visiting the ME during the online refresh, and effectively ensures the BIOS+ME FW online refresh, the stability of the whole refresh process, and the normal startup and running of the system.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to computing machine refresh technique, is exactly a kind of method preventing on line refreshable BIOS+ME FW failure specifically.
Background technology
Along with the continuous progress of computer technology, from strength to strength, correspondingly, the requirement for its stability is also more and more higher for the function of server.The program (Management Engine) of ME to be Intel be PCH exploitation, is mainly used in the cooperation and communication between administration PC H and other firmwares, allows the effectiveness that system reaches the highest and the most harmonious.ME FW generally together with BIOS program is packaged in, can be placed in same flash chip, usually also upgrades together with BIOS FW.
But often because BMC continuous access ME causes refreshing unsuccessfully during actual refreshing, make ME enter recovery pattern cisco unity malfunction, the use of influential system and stability.Especially when factory refreshes BIOS+ME FW in enormous quantities, if can not effective guarantee refresh success ratio, can greatly reduce refresh efficiency, increase maintenance difficulties.Therefore, how the whole refresh process of effective guarantee carries out smoothly, becomes Server development and maintainer's problem in urgent need to solve.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is directed to the weak point that prior art exists, propose a kind of method effectively preventing on line refreshable BIOS+ME FW failure, simple to operation, effectively can ensure the stable of whole refresh process, especially refreshing in FW in factory mass has higher using value.
A kind of method preventing on line refreshable BIOS+ME FW failure of the present invention, the technical scheme solving the problems of the technologies described above employing is as follows: the method is by refreshing the cooperation of script and BMC, refresh and undertaken alternately by BMC OEM IPMI order between script and BMC, before using refresh tool refreshing BIOS+ME FW, first ipmitool sends and stops access ME order data to BMC, after BMC receives, stop access ME; Ipmitool sends order and obtains the state that current BMC accesses ME, if BMC has stopped access, refresh tool starts to refresh BIOS+ME FW; After having refreshed, ipmitool sends and continues access ME order data to BMC, BMC continuation access ME; Use ipmitool shutdown, then start restarts server and completes whole refresh process.
Preferably, before refreshing BIOS+ME FW, ipmitool sends order and whether obtains BMC at access ME, if BMC is still at access ME, then ipmitool sends and stops access ME order data to BMC.
Preferably, after refreshing BIOS+ME FW, ipmitool sends and whether obtains BMC in access ME order, if BMC stops access ME, then ipmitool sends and continues access ME order data to BMC.
A kind of beneficial effect preventing the method for on line refreshable BIOS+ME FW failure compared with prior art to have of the present invention is: the method is by automatically refreshing closely cooperating of script and BMC, when using refresh tool to refresh BIOS+ME FW, inform that BMC refreshes beginning and current Flushing status by refreshing script, when preventing on line refreshable, BMC is still at access ME, thus causes ME to refresh unsuccessfully to enter recovery pattern; Effectively prevent on line refreshable BIOS+ME FW failure, implementation procedure is simple, easily operates, and effectively can ensure the stable of whole refresh process, ensure the normal start-up and operation of system, have higher using value in enormous quantities refreshings in FW occasion such as factories.
Accompanying drawing explanation
Accompanying drawing 1 for described in prevent the process flow diagram of the method for on line refreshable BIOS+ME FW failure.
Embodiment
For making the object, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearly understand, below in conjunction with specific embodiment, and with reference to accompanying drawing, a kind of method of on line refreshable BIOS+ME FW failure that prevents of the present invention is further described.
A kind of method preventing on line refreshable BIOS+ME FW failure of the present invention, by automatically refreshing closely cooperating of script and BMC, when using refresh tool to refresh BIOS+ME FW, inform that BMC refreshes beginning and Flushing status by refreshing script, when preventing on line refreshable, BMC(Baseboard Management Controller, baseboard management controller) still at access ME(Management Engine, management engine) ME is refreshed unsuccessfully enter recovery pattern, its due effect can not be played.Method for refreshing of the present invention can effectively prevent from refreshing unsuccessfully, ensures the normal start-up and operation of system.
Embodiment 1:
A kind of method preventing on line refreshable BIOS+ME FW failure described in the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, refresh and undertaken alternately by BMC OEM IPMI order between script and BMC, before using refresh tool refreshing BIOS+ME FW, first ipmitool sends and stops access ME order data to BMC, after BMC receives, stop access ME; Ipmitool sends order and obtains the state that current BMC accesses ME, if BMC has stopped access, refresh tool starts to refresh BIOS+ME FW; After having refreshed, ipmitool sends and continues access ME order data to BMC, BMC continuation access ME; Use ipmitool shutdown, then start restarts server and completes whole refresh process.
In the method, described BMC OEM IPMI order: be responsible for whether obtaining current BMC at access ME, and BMC stopping or access ME are set; Comprise two IPMI orders: obtain the order that current BMC accesses ME state, for judging that whether current BMC is at access ME, and BMC is set accesses ME whether order, stop access to BMC controls BMC by sending this order or continue to access ME.
In refreshing script, before using instrument refreshing, first send with ipmitool and stop access ME order to BMC, receive by ipmitool 20 e8 32 01, BMC can be used in DOS script after stopping visit order, stopping access ME.
Ipmitool sends order and whether obtains current BMC at access ME to BMC, and by using 20 e8 32 02 to obtain in DOS script, if BMC returns to the data refreshing script show that BMC has stopped accessing ME, refresh tool starts to refresh BIOS+ME FW.
Refresh in script by preventing the implementation procedure write of the method for on line refreshable BIOS+ME FW failure described in the present embodiment, carry out the batch processing script writing the use of whole refresh process, use this batch processing script disposablely can execute all refresh step, ensure in refresh process, BMC does not go to access ME, again access again after having refreshed, ensure BIOS+ME FW Flushing success, ensured the reliability and stability of whole on line refreshable process by the cooperation of on line refreshable script and BMC.
Above-mentioned embodiment is only concrete case of the present invention; scope of patent protection of the present invention includes but not limited to above-mentioned embodiment; any claims according to the invention and any person of an ordinary skill in the technical field to its suitable change done or replacement, all should fall into scope of patent protection of the present invention.
