Abstract
The invention discloses a designing method for continuously storing FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) information and relates to the field of computer software development. The FRU information is stored in an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) and a BMC system file through BMC management software, is read from the BMC system file and is co-modified to the BMC system file and the EEPROM, so that after a server updates a BMC FW version, the originally-set information of an FRU is kept invariable, and the FRU information does not need to be repeatedly modified. The FRU information can be continuously stored by the server and is prevented from being repeatedly modified after a BMC FW file is updated, so that the manual maintenance and management of a machine room can be reduced, and the defects of management and maintenance of the machine room through the server are overcome.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to develop computer software field, is exactly a kind of method for designing of lasting preservation FRU information specifically.
Background technology
FRU full name Field Replaceable Unit, it comprises the fields such as Chassis, Board and Product, the information that each field is corresponding different separately, specifically comprise manufacturer server, server ID numbering, server assets numbering, server date of production, server at Host equipment room etc., therefore whether the FRU information of server remains unchanged and has relevant vital role for server in machine room updating maintenance.
Along with the fast development of computer software technology, the construction of all kinds of server rooms also in sustainable growth, on the one hand because customer demand constantly changes, on the other hand due to server self-operating problem, the BMC FW version of inevitable update server.And current most of Internet firm is safe and reliable in order to ensure upgraded version, the method of BMC FW version is upgraded under mostly employing system, but this upgrade method, can become initial information by the FRU information reverting of BMC, the FRU information set cannot be preserved at all.And unsuitable, effective method solves the problem at present, after upgrading BMC FW file, according to the information of original record, again FRU information can only be refreshed.Machine room on the one hand due to management is huge, and computer lab management personnel all can not record the FRU information of each station server exactly, very likely there is omission, cause confusion; On the other hand because machine is numerous, FRU information must be refreshed to managerial personnel and bring inconvenience.In view of above-mentioned, be badly in need of proposing a kind of more reasonable, science and the effective method for designing continuing to preserve FRU information, reduction machine room updating maintenance cost.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is directed to the weak point that prior art exists, propose a kind of method for designing of lasting preservation FRU information.
The method for designing of a kind of lasting preservation FRU information of the present invention, the technical scheme solving the problems of the technologies described above employing is as follows: FRU information is stored in EEPROM and BMC system file by BMC management software by this method for designing respectively, FRU information reads and obtains from BMC system file, and the amendment of FRU information is modified to BMC system file and EEPROM jointly; After making server update BMC FW version, FRU keeps original Information invariability arranged, without the need to repeating amendment FRU information.The method of this lasting preservation FRU information safeguards there is very important meaning for server in machine room.
Preferably, BMC management software normally runs, and by demand amendment FRU information, preserves FRU information in EEPROM and BMC system file.
Preferably, after upgrading BMC FW file, in BMC management software normal boot process, from EEPROM, obtain FRU information, and the FRU information in itself and BMC system file is contrasted.
Preferably, if inconsistent in BMC system file in FRU information and EEPROM, by FRU information back in EEPROM in BMC system file.
Preferably, use ipmitool instrument to read FRU information, obtain from BMC system file all the time.
The beneficial effect that the method for designing of a kind of lasting preservation FRU information of the present invention compared with prior art has is: FRU information is stored in EEPROM and BMC system file by BMC management software by the method respectively, in start-up course, by contrast FRU information, preserve configuration information, thus realize server lasting preservation FRU information, avoid after upgrading BMC FW file, repeat amendment FRU information, decrease the management of artificial room management; Compensate for the deficiency that server room administers and maintains, thus there is boundless development space.
Accompanying drawing explanation
Accompanying drawing 1 is the identification of iSCSI storer and the process flow diagram of configuration using method.
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, the method for designing of a kind of lasting preservation FRU information of the present invention is further described.
The present invention proposes a kind of method for designing of lasting preservation FRU information, after making server update BMC FW version, FRU keeps original Information invariability arranged, without the need to repeating amendment FRU information; Be stored in EEPROM and BMC system file by BMC management software respectively by FRU information, FRU information reads and obtains from BMC system file, and the amendment of FRU information is modified to BMC system file and EEPROM jointly.
According to demand amendment FRU information, the FRU information after change of preserving is in EEPROM and BMC system file; After upgrading BMC FW version, in BMC management software normal boot process, from EEPROM, obtain FRU information, and the FRU information in itself and BMC system file is contrasted; If the FRU information in BMC file in FRU information and EEPROM is inconsistent, by FRU information back in EEPROM in BMC system file, continue to preserve FRU information in EEPROM and BMC system file, guarantee FRU Information invariability.
Embodiment:
A kind of method for designing of lasting preservation FRU information described in the present embodiment, its main contents comprise: (1) BMC management software normally runs, by demand amendment FRU information, preserve FRU information in EEPROM and BMC system file, (2) after upgrading BMC FW file, in each normal boot process of BMC management software, obtain FRU information in EEPROM, FRU information in contrast BMC system file, (3) if inconsistent in file in FRU information and EEPROM, by FRU information back in EEPROM in BMC system file, guarantee FRU Information invariability; Use ipmitool instrument to read FRU information, obtain from BMC system file all the time.
This continues the specific implementation process of the method for designing of preserving FRU information, as shown in Figure 1:
(1) server B MC activates, amendment FRU information, and the FRU information after change of preserving is in EEPROM and BMC system file;
(2), after upgrading BMC FW file, in BMC management software normal boot process, from EEPROM, obtain FRU information, and the FRU information in itself and BMC system file is contrasted;
(3) if the FRU information in BMC file in FRU information and EEPROM is inconsistent, by FRU information back in EEPROM in BMC system file.
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.
