As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a BIOS refresh method, applied to a server, including:
step 101, connecting at least two mainboards with the server in advance, wherein each mainboard is provided with a BMC (baseboard management controller) and a BIOS (basic input/output system) chip which are connected with each other;

In the above embodiment of the present invention, at least two motherboards are connected to the server, each motherboard is provided with a connected BMC and a BIOS chip, and the server allocates the IP addresses of the motherboards, so that the server and the motherboards are located in the same network segment, the server can be ensured to communicate with the motherboards and the BMCs and BIOS chips disposed on the motherboards, and when the BIOS on each motherboard needs to be refreshed, the server can send a BIOS curing file to the BMCs disposed on the motherboards according to the IP addresses corresponding to the motherboards, so that the BMC can refresh the BIOS connected to the BMCs according to the received BIOS curing file. According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, on one hand, the BIOS arranged on the mainboard can be refreshed without installing a memory and a processor on the mainboard; on the other hand, the BIOS on the plurality of mainboards connected with the server can be refreshed simultaneously through the server; obviously, the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention can improve the BIOS refreshing efficiency.
Further, since version information corresponding to each BIOS may not be consistent in some specific service scenarios, in order to implement respective refreshing of BIOS having different version information, in an embodiment of the present invention, after allocating an internet protocol IP address to each motherboard according to an IP address of the server, the method further includes:
respectively sending a refreshing instruction to the BMCs arranged on the mainboards according to the IP addresses respectively corresponding to the mainboards, so that when each BMC receives the refreshing instruction, the version information corresponding to the BIOS connected with the BMC at present is determined and sent;

Therefore, the server, the mainboard A and the mainboard B are located in the same network segment, and the server can be correspondingly communicated with the mainboard A and the mainboard B respectively.
And step 304, the server respectively sends refreshing instructions to the BMC arranged on the mainboard and the BMC arranged on the mainboard B according to the IP addresses respectively corresponding to the mainboard A and the mainboard B.
305, when the BMC on the mainboard A receives a refreshing instruction sent by the server according to the IP address of the mainboard A, determining the version information of the BIOS on the mainboard A; and when the BMC on the mainboard B receives a refreshing instruction sent by the server according to the IP address of the mainboard B, determining the version information of the BIOS on the mainboard B.
The embodiment of the invention takes the example of determining that the version information of the BIOS on the mainboard A is 5.1 version, the version information of the BIOS on the mainboard B is 5.2 version, and the 5.2 version is one version higher than the 5.1 version.
Step 306, the BMC on the mainboard A sends the determined version information 5.1 version to a server; and the BMC on the mainboard B sends the determined version information 5.2 version to the server.
Step 307, the server sends a BIOS curing file corresponding to the version 5.1 to the BMC on the mainboard A according to the IP address of the mainboard A; and sending a BIOS curing file corresponding to the 5.2 version to the BMC on the mainboard B according to the IP address of the mainboard B.
