b. when the server is started and the power-on self-test is executed, the BIOS registers a group of processing programs aiming at the operating system supported by the server, and the processing programs define a numerical value and a related instruction which correspond to a plurality of operating system types respectively;
c. when the server is started to a current hard disk to finish initialization, loading a current operating system in the current hard disk;
d. the BIOS acquires an operating system string under the current operating system from the current operating system, and finds out an operating system type corresponding to the operating system string from a corresponding table;
e. the relevant instruction corresponding to the current operating system in the processing program is triggered to be executed, and the value corresponding to the current operating system is sent to the BMC;
f. the BMC compares the obtained value of the current operating system type with a preset value of the operating system type selected by the user, if the obtained value of the current operating system type is consistent with the preset value of the operating system type selected by the user, the step g is executed, and if the obtained value of the current operating system type is not consistent with the preset value of the operating system type selected by the user, the step h is executed;
g. displaying the found hard disk containing the selected operating system type on a user interface of the BMC; and
h. and the BMC informs the BIOS of powering off and restarting, switches to the next hard disk, and then returns to the step b.
Preferably, in step b, the handler is an SMI handler.
Preferably, in step b, the processing program defines the values and the related instructions corresponding to the types of the operating systems supported by the server, respectively.
Preferably, in step d, the corresponding table is a preset os type and os string corresponding table.
Preferably, in step e, the value corresponding to the current operating system is sent to the BMC in the IPMI command format.
Preferably, in step g, the hard disk containing the selected operating system type is found and opening to the current hard disk is continued on the user interface of the BMC.
Compared with the prior art, the invention establishes a group of menus of the types of the operating systems which can be supported by the current server in the BMC user interface. The user selects the hard disk of the operating system to be entered through a menu, when the system is powered on for self-test, all the hard disks on the current system are started through the BIOS one by one, and when the started hard disks do not accord with the operating system selected by the user, the system is powered off and restarted to the next hard disk until the matched hard disk is found. The method has the advantage that the user can automatically start the system to the hard disk with the specific operating system type without wasting time to start the hard disks on the machine.
[ description of the drawings ]
FIG. 1 is a flowchart illustrating steps of a method for booting a hard disk having a specified operating system type installed therein according to the present invention.
[ detailed description ] embodiments
Referring to fig. 1, the present invention provides a method for automatically booting a hard disk installed with a specified os type, which is suitable for a server, and includes the following steps:
step 300: when the server is started to a current hard disk to finish initialization, loading a current operating system in the current hard disk;
step 400: the BIOS obtains an operating system interface string (OSI string) under the current operating system from the current operating system and finds a system type corresponding to the operating system string from a corresponding table (e.g., table 1), wherein the operating system string is obtained through the following steps: there is an OSI function support (Operating system interface support) module under the Operating system, there is a Operating system string under the OSI function support module, when an Operating system is loaded to the hard disk, BIOS can get the string of the Operating system;
| operating system type | Operating system string |
| Windows 10 | “Windows 2015” |
| Windows 8.1 | “Windows 2013” |
| Windows 8 | “Windows 2012” |
| Windows 7 | “Windows 2009” |
| Windows Vista | “Windows 2006” |
| Windows Vista SP1 | “Windows 2006 SP1” |
| Windows XP | “Windows 2001” |
Step 500: the related instruction corresponding to the current operating system in the processing program is triggered to execute, and a value corresponding to the current operating system is sent to the BMC, for example, if the current operating system type is Windows 10, the corresponding value is 0X 11;
step 600: the BMC compares the obtained value of the current operating system type with a preset value of the operating system type selected by the user, if the obtained value is consistent with the preset value, the step 700 is executed, and if the obtained value is not consistent with the preset value, the step 800 is executed;
step 700: displaying the found hard disk containing the selected operating system type on a user interface of the BMC;
step 800: the BMC notifies the BIOS to power down and reboot, and switches to the next hard disk, and then returns to step 200.
In this embodiment, in step 200, the handler is an SMI handler (System Management Interrupt handler).
In this embodiment, in step 200, the processing program defines values and related instructions corresponding to the types of the operating systems supported by the server.
In step 400, the table is a pre-defined OS type/OS string table.
In this embodiment, in step 500, the value corresponding to the current os is sent to the BMC in IPMI command format.
In this embodiment, in step 700, the hard disk containing the selected operating system type is found and the opening to the current hard disk is continued on the user interface of the BMC. By the steps, the invention establishes a group of menus of the types of the operating systems which can be supported by the current server in the BMC user interface. The user selects the hard disk of the operating System to be entered through a menu, when the System is powered on for self-test, all the hard disks on the current System are started through a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS), and when the started hard disks do not accord with the operating System selected by the user, the System is powered off and restarted to the next hard disk until the matched hard disk is found. The method has the advantage that the user can automatically start the system to the hard disk with the specific operating system type without wasting time to start the hard disks on the machine.
In summary, the above embodiments and drawings are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, but not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and all equivalent changes and modifications made by the claims of the present invention should fall within the scope of the present invention.
