A kind of software version reminding method is proposed in the embodiment of the present application, shown in Figure 1, it is the software version prompting side
The flow chart of method, the method can apply to server, and the method can include：
Step 101, when detecting accessory (accessory for newly increasing can be referred to as new accessory) and being inserted into server,
The corresponding first software version mark of the accessory is obtained, and obtains currently used the second software version mark of the server.Its
In, in order to distinguish conveniently, corresponding for accessory software version mark can be referred to as the first software version mark, server is current
The part version identifier for using is referred to as the second software version mark.
In one example, the accessory can be included but is not limited to：Internal memory, hard disk, disk cage, hard disk controlling card, PCIE
(Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, high speed peripheral component interlinkage standard) plug-in card etc..Disk cage
It is a kind of pluggable accessory of server, is the structural member for carrying hard disk support bracket, comprising hardware and electronic device
Hard disk backboard.PCIE plug-in cards can be network interface card, video card etc..
In one example, for the process of " obtaining the corresponding first software version mark of accessory ", including but not limited to
Following manner：If one accessory of mode includes processor (such as CPU (Central Processing Unit, central processing unit)
Deng), then request message can be sent to the processor of the accessory.The processor of the accessory is obtained after the request message is received
The corresponding first software version mark of this accessory is taken, and returns the response message for carrying the first software version mark.Receiving
After the response message returned to the processor of the accessory, as the response message carries the corresponding first software version mark of the accessory
Know, therefore, it can the corresponding first software version mark of the accessory is parsed from the response message.Mode two, in accessory
In memory area, the corresponding first software version mark of the accessory is prestored, based on this, can directly from the storage of the accessory
The corresponding first software version mark of the accessory is read in region.Wherein, for include processor accessory and do not include locating
The accessory of reason device, can obtain the first software version mark with employing mode two.
In one example, if being internal memory for two accessory of mode, the memory area of the accessory is specifically as follows SPD
(Serial Presence Detect, serial have detection) region.If accessory is hard disk, the memory area of the accessory is concrete
It can be LOG (daily record) region.If accessory is disk cage or hard disk controlling card or PCIE plug-in cards, the storage of the accessory
Region is specifically as follows EEPROM, and (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory electricity can
EPROM) region.
In one example, for the process of " obtaining currently used the second software version mark of the server ", in clothes
In the BIOS (Basic Input Output System, basic input output system) of the processor of business device, record has server
Currently used the second software version mark, therefore can get the server currently used from the BIOS of processor
Second software version is identified.Wherein, BIOS is the startup program of processor, for before operating system, to processor, interior
Deposit, peripheral interface carries out initialization action.
In one example, the software version reminding method for proposing in the embodiment of the present application, can apply to server
On BMC (Baseboard Management Controller, baseboard management controller) or processor (such as CPU etc.).If should
It is used on BMC, then the second currently used software version of the corresponding first software version mark of accessory, server is obtained by BMC
Mark.If application is on a processor, the corresponding first software version mark of accessory, server are obtained by processor currently used
The second software version mark.The process for obtaining the first software version mark and the second software version mark below to BMC is carried out
Illustrate, and the acquisition process of processor is similar with the acquisition process of BMC, subsequently it is no longer repeated.
As shown in Fig. 2 being the structural representation of the server comprising BMC, bios software is run on a processor, BMC can
So that by LPC (Low Pin Count, low pin count) bus access to processor, therefore, BMC can pass through lpc bus to place
Reason device sends request message, and processor can get currently used the second software version mark of server from BIOS, and
The second software version mark is returned to BMC by lpc bus, the second currently used software version of server is got by BMC
This mark.
In fig. 2, BMC can pass through I2C (Inter Integrated Circuit, internal integrated circuit) bus/SMI
(Serial Management Interface, serial management interface) bus directly or indirectly accesses internal memory, hard disk, hard
The accessories such as disk cage, hard disk controlling card, PCIE plug-in cards, therefore, BMC can (such as SPD be self-defined from the SPD regions of internal memory
Region) in read internal memory corresponding first software version mark, hard disk can be read from the LOG regions of hard disk corresponding
First software version is identified, and can read the corresponding first software version mark of disk cage from the EEPROM regions of disk cage
Know, hard disk controlling card corresponding first software version mark can be read from the EEPROM regions of hard disk controlling card, can be with
The corresponding first software version mark of PCIE plug-in cards is read from the EEPROM regions of PCIE plug-in cards.
Step 102, judges that first software version is identified whether higher than the second software version mark.
If it is, execution step 103；If it is not, then execution step 104.
Step 103, determines that server is needed using new software version, and the corresponding software version information of export server,
To point out user to need the upgrading for carrying out software version to server by the software version information.
Step 104, determines that server need not use new software version, and refuses the corresponding software version of export server
Information, i.e. accessory normally can be used, it is not necessary to the upgrading for carrying out software version to server.
In one example, the software version information can be included but is not limited to：Need the prompting using new software version
Information (is needed using new software version by the information alert client server), and/or, need the software version mark being upgraded to
Knowing (needs the software version being upgraded to mark, such as the first software version to identify or high by the information alert client server
Version identifier in the first software version mark).
In one example, the first software version mark includes：The minimum bios version that accessory is supported is identified, minimum BMC
Version identifier；Second software version mark includes：The processor of server currently used bios version mark, server
The currently used BMC version identifiers of BMC.If the minimum bios version mark that accessory the is supported BIOS currently used higher than processor
Version identifier, and/or, the minimum BMC version identifiers that accessory is supported higher than the currently used BMC version identifiers of BMC, then explanation the
One software version mark is identified higher than the second software version.If the minimum bios version mark that accessory is supported is not higher than processor and works as
The front bios version mark for using, the minimum BMC version identifiers that accessory is supported are not higher than the currently used BMC version identifiers of BMC,
Illustrate that the first software version mark is not higher than the second software version mark.
In one example, server can also be safeguarded in advance and support accessory list, and this has supported to remember in accessory list
The accessory name that the second software version mark supports accessory is recorded, i.e., under the current software version of server, the server can
To support that the accessory name of accessory, these accessory names can be pre-configured in the accessory list of support of server.And,
After server update to new software version, new software version can also be supported that the accessory name of accessory recorded and be propped up
Hold in accessory list.
Accessory list is supported based on this, before step 102, the corresponding accessory name of accessory can also have been obtained, and led to
Cross the corresponding accessory name of the accessory and inquire about this and support accessory list.If this has supported that accessory list includes that the accessory is corresponding
Accessory name, it is determined that server need not use new software version, and refuse export server corresponding software version letter
Breath, i.e., accessory normally can be used.If this has supported not including the corresponding accessory name of the accessory in accessory list, is judged
One software version identifies whether to identify higher than the second software version.If it is, the corresponding software version information of export server.
