Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of system upgrading, in particular to a method for realizing batch upgrading of a BMC and a BIOS of a server through a BMC.
Background
The demand for large-scale deployment of servers in the internet era is increasing, and centralized operation of large-scale servers has become a very important research topic. Bug repair, new function addition and performance improvement of the server are usually realized by upgrading BMC & BIOS, and often the server needs to be upgraded to meet the requirements of people for various reasons.
At present, most of methods for upgrading the BIOS of the server are remote login through ssh, and then upgrade operation is carried out by using a burning tool. This approach requires the upgraded server os to support the ssh protocol, requiring the network to be opened. Moreover, if the BIOS contains the ME, the ME cannot be directly upgraded. And the method for upgrading the BMC in batches is less.

The invention provides a method for realizing batch upgrading of a server BMC and a BIOS (basic input/output System) through a BMC (baseboard management controller), which comprises the following steps of:
s1, reading the IP from the IP list of the batch server BMC;
s2, reading fru information of the BMC to judge the type of the server;
s3, calling a corresponding script according to the server model and acquiring the current firmware version information;
s4, firmware upgrading is carried out on the corresponding machine type;
s5, finishing upgrading, obtaining the current firmware version information again, comparing with the information before upgrading, judging whether the upgrading is successful, if so, repeating the step S1, and if not, executing the step S6;
s6, checking the reason and judging whether the reason is that the upgrading action is not completed or the firmware version provides errors.
As a further improvement of the present invention, the step S2 is to read fru information of the BMC through ipmitool.
As a further improvement of the present invention, before the corresponding script is called in step S3, an upgrade script is written for each version of server, and a version name table is made for the corresponding firmware version.
As a further improvement of the present invention, before the current firmware version information is acquired in step S3, a firmware version is newly established in each server.
As a further improvement of the invention, the step S1 is preceded by a step S0. the web page is automatically operated by a selenium module to python.
As a further improvement of the present invention, the python in the step S0 is replaced by Java or C language.
As a further improvement of the present invention, the selenium module in step S0 is replaced by a spline module.
As a further improvement of the invention, the BIOS firmware is replaced by sas card firmware or expandersfirmware.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: the method is simple to operate, has no requirement on os and has no requirement on an os network; directly burning firmware, and upgrading thoroughly; large-scale unattended upgrading can be realized; before and after upgrading, version comparison and verification are carried out to ensure that upgrading is finished; the method can adapt to various complex environments, and can be completed even if different types of servers need to upgrade different versions of firmware.
Drawings
FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for implementing batch upgrade of a server BMC and a BIOS through a BMC according to the present invention.
Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
As shown in fig. 1, the method for realizing batch upgrade of the BMC and the BIOS by the BMC according to the present invention includes the following steps in the BMC with a function of upgrading the BMC and the BIOS firmware:
s1, reading the IP from the IP list of the batch server BMC;
s2, reading fru information of the BMC to judge the type of the server;
s3, calling a corresponding script according to the server model and acquiring the current firmware version information;
s4, firmware upgrading is carried out on the corresponding machine type;
s5, finishing upgrading, obtaining the current firmware version information again, comparing with the information before upgrading, judging whether the upgrading is successful, if so, repeating the step S1, and if not, executing the step S6;
s6, checking the reason and judging whether the reason is that the upgrading action is not completed or the firmware version provides errors.
In step S2, fru information of the BMC is read by ipmitool.
Before calling the corresponding script in step S3, an upgrade script is written for each version of server, and a version name table is made for the corresponding firmware version. Before the current firmware version information is acquired, a firmware version is newly established in each server.
Step S0 is included before step S1. the web page is automated using the selenium module to python. The python in step S0 is replaced with Java or C language and the selenium module is replaced with the spline module.
The BIOS firmware is replaced by sas card firmware or expander firmware.
The invention upgrades the BMC and BIOS of the server in batch through firmware update function under the web page of the BMC. Therefore, the BMC of the upgraded server needs to have the function of upgrading the BMC and BIOS firmware, and the servers with the BMC have the function. Because of the automation of web pages, the selenium module to python is required for web automation operations. And we need to know the IP list of the BMCs of the bulk server.
For servers of different brands, an upgrade script is written for each version server, and a version name table is made for a corresponding firmware version so as to conveniently check whether the upgrade is successful or not after the upgrade.
The invention provides a firmware upgrading method which is very convenient and high in reliability. If other firmware version upgrades are also incorporated into the BMC at the beginning of the design, then the firmware, such as the sas card firmware, the expander firmware, etc., can also be upgraded by the BMC. Meanwhile, batch change of BMC and BIOS settings can be realized through the method, only a firmware version needs to be built, default setting of the version is the setting requirement, and then batch change of configuration is realized through upgrading the firmware. In addition, in order to realize the patent, not only python but also java or C can be used, and the module can be used, such as a spline and the like without being limited to a selenium.
Bmc (baseboard Management controller): baseboard management controller
IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management interface): an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) is an open standard hardware management interface specification that defines a specific method for communication of an embedded management subsystem. IPMI information is communicated via a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) (located on a hardware component of IPMI specification).
Bios is an abbreviation of the English Basic Input Output System, and the Chinese name after the translation is the Basic Input Output System. In fact, it is a set of programs solidified on a ROM chip on the main board of the computer, it stores the most important basic input and output programs of the computer, the self-checking program after power-on and the system self-starting program, it can read and write the specific information set by the system from the CMOS. Its primary function is to provide the lowest level, most direct hardware setup and control for the computer.
Ipmitool is an ipmi platform management tool in a command line mode, which can be used in a linux system, supports ipmi 1.5 specification (the latest specification is ipmi 2.0), and can realize functions of acquiring information of a sensor, displaying system log content, remotely turning on and off a network and the like.
The foregoing is a more detailed description of the invention in connection with specific preferred embodiments and it is not intended that the invention be limited to these specific details. For those skilled in the art to which the invention pertains, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, and all shall be considered as belonging to the protection scope of the invention.
