Abstract

The invention discloses a method for manually refreshing firmware based on a RACK cabinet node middle plate. The method of the invention needs to manually refresh the node middle plate after the RMC fails to automatically refresh the node middle plate, thereby making up the defect of automatic refresh. When the JTAG test board is used for refreshing the middle plate, the middle plate needs to be disassembled from the cabinet, power is supplied for refreshing independently, the nodes do not need to be disassembled in the RMC for manual refreshing, the node middle plate of any version at any position only needs to be manually refreshed by a refreshing tool integrated in the RMC, the steps of disassembling and assembling the node middle plate are saved, and the applicability and the safety are greatly improved. The node middle plates of any version at any position can be refreshed conveniently and quickly in the difference test of the versions of the node middle plates, and the working efficiency is greatly improved. Therefore, the invention makes up the defects of management, maintenance and test of the board software version in the RACK cabinet node, is more suitable for large-scale construction and maintenance of a machine room and has very wide development space.

Description

A kind of method based on the manual refreshing firmware of plate in RACK rack node
Technical field
The present invention relates to RACK server monitoring administrative skill field, be specifically related to a kind of method based on the manual refreshing firmware of plate in RACK rack node.
Background technology
Along with the fast development of mobile Internet, large-scale machine room is constantly built, and Ge great Internet firm is to providing machine room space availability ratio, and cluster high density server develops, and heightens power utilization rate, and RACK rack is introduced data center module running in a large number.Due to plate substantial amounts in RACK rack node, if to go to upgrade plate in every a slice node with jtag test plate when general, need plate in dismounting node and need centering plate to power separately, cause the upgrade job of plate in node to become loaded down with trivial details thus and repeat, adding time and the human cost of room management greatly.And plate difference in version needs the firmware refreshing different editions frequently in testing in node, utilize JTAG to upgrade and then greatly reduce work efficiency.
In above single node, the renewal of plate meets the demand of upgrading substantially, but along with the continuous increase of large-scale machine room, the demand of RACK rack also constantly increases, in Rack rack, plate edition difference is tested the version caused and is frequently refreshed, therefore be badly in need of a kind of in the complete situation of guarantee Rack rack plate method in upgrade node fast, more rationally, science and effectively complete upgrading and the test job of plate in node.
Application number 201510132315.6 1 kinds is based on the method for designing of the automatic refreshing firmware of plate in RACK rack node, whether the firmware version number that described method is run by plate in contrast actual node is consistent with the node Zhong Ban firmware version number stored in RMC, if plate firmware in the inconsistent node just automatically upgraded in RMC.The present invention greatly reduces the workload that in artificial upgrade node, the numerous rope of plate firmware repeats again; Also significantly reduce because artificial origin causes the probability of upgrading firmware failure simultaneously; Whether can meet server requirement by the version of plate in automatic decision node, and automatically upgrade plate in the node that its version do not conform to; Compensate for the deficiency of plate software version management and maintenance in RACK rack node, make it be more suitable for machine room and build on a large scale.
When in the automatic refresh node of Rack rack RMC when plate procedure failure, just need that artificially manual to complete middle scrubbing brush new.In the process of RMC test, other versions firmware that needs sometimes to arrange in pairs or groups carries out otherness test, now automatic refresh function inapplicable, if with jtag test scrubbing brush newly; need plate in dismounting node, manual refreshing then could when ensureing that rack refresh plate in the node of optional position, arbitrarily version complete.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention is: the invention provides a kind of method based on the manual refreshing firmware of plate in RACK rack node, firmware version is upgraded to wrench in its node is dynamic for large-scale machine room RACK server, also support the testing requirement to plate edition difference in difference in RMCdebug process simultaneously, add the dirigibility of centering plate version test, improve the software administration of large-scale machine room and upgrade efficiency.
The technical solution adopted in the present invention is:
Based on a method of the manual refreshing firmware of plate in RACK rack node, described method is inner by control and management unit R MC refresh tool being integrated in RACK rack, carries out manual refreshing to plate firmware in node.
The concrete implementation step of method described in the present embodiment is:
1) RMCshell inside is logined;
2) plate firmware file in required node is imported in RMC;
3) check and need the more location label of plate on rack in new node;
4) operation is integrated in plate more new tool in the node of RMC inside, upgrades plate in the node of assigned address indicated release.
Plate in the classify management mainboard node of described RACK rack, upwards manages mainboard by cable with RMC and is connected.
Beneficial effect of the present invention is:
The inventive method in the automatic refresh node of RMC after plate failure, needs artificially manually to remove plate in refresh node, compensate for the defect automatically refreshed.During plate need middle plate to dismantle from rack in using jtag test scrubbing brush new, independent power supply refreshes, under RMC, manual refreshing does not need to disassemble node, only need carry out plate in the node of any version in manual refreshing optional position by refresh tool integrated in RMC, save the step of plate in dismounting node, greatly improve applicability and security.Can conveniently refresh plate in the node of any version in optional position in the test of plate difference in version in node, substantially increase work efficiency.Therefore the present invention compensate for the deficiency of plate software version management, maintenance, test in RACK rack node, makes it be more suitable for the large-scale contruction and maintenance of machine room, thus has boundless development space.

Embodiment
Below according to Figure of description, in conjunction with embodiment, the present invention is further described:
Embodiment 1:
Based on a method of the manual refreshing firmware of plate in RACK rack node, described method is inner by control and management unit R MC refresh tool being integrated in RACK rack, carries out manual refreshing to plate firmware in node.
Embodiment 2:
As shown in Figure 1, on the basis of embodiment 1, described in the present embodiment, the concrete implementation step of method is:
1) RMCshell inside is logined;
2) plate firmware file in required node is imported in RMC;
3) check and need the more location label of plate on rack in new node, confirm Board position numbering in rack node;
4) operation is integrated in plate more new tool in the node of RMC inside, upgrades plate in the node of assigned address indicated release.
Embodiment 3:
On the basis of embodiment 1 or 2, plate in the classify management mainboard node of RACK rack described in the present embodiment, upwards manages mainboard by cable with RMC and is connected.
When in the automatic refresh node of Rack rack RMC when plate procedure failure, can manually complete middle scrubbing brush by the present invention new.Login RMC, run manual refreshing program, plate firmware during scrubbing brush in the node of assigned address is newly specified, thus complete the complement operation to automatic refresh flow.
In the process of RMC test, other versions firmware that needs sometimes to arrange in pairs or groups carries out otherness test, now automatic refresh function inapplicable, if with jtag test scrubbing brush newly; need plate in dismounting node, manual refreshing then could when ensureing that rack refresh plate in the node of optional position, arbitrarily version complete.
