Embodiment
To make the purpose, technical scheme and advantage of the embodiment of the present invention clearer, below in conjunction with the embodiment of the present invention
In accompanying drawing, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the present invention is clearly and completely described, it is clear that described embodiment is
Part of the embodiment of the present invention, rather than whole embodiments.
As shown in Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3 shows, a kind of method for lifting server power supply online updating FW reliabilities of the present embodiment, bag
Include following steps：
The first interactive data path is set between baseboard management controller and power module, set on the first data path
There is the first controlling switch, the second data path of interaction is set between power module and management engine, the second data path is provided with
Second controlling switch；The unlatching of first controlling switch and the second controlling switch is realized by the instruction of baseboard management controller respectively
Or close；
When power module upgrades, the second data path is closed by the second controlling switch, opens the first data path base
Board management controller sends data to power module, and updating operation is carried out to power module；
Completed when power module upgrades, close the first data path, opened the second controlling switch and led to opening the second data
Road is to recover the information exchange between power module and management engine.
As shown in figure 1, the environment that system is applied in existing server is BMC-ME-PSU interactive relations, PSU data BMC
Can not write direct, it is necessary to write by ME, and ME be it is uncontrollable read data at any time, and the data read are fast, number
Big according to amount, so when PSU FW upgrade, the data of BMC write-ins can be disturbed by ME and PSU interaction datas, and PSU connects
The probability increase of the data failure received；Interaction between ME and PSU can not be by the mode switch of order, and what is so communicated is whole
Body reliability is not high.
As shown in Fig. 2 the present embodiment increases the first data path of BMC and PSU interactions in the server, while in PSU
Increase by the second controlling switch with the second data path of ME interactions；When needing to upgrade PSU FW, BMC passes through the second control
Second data path of the interaction that switch is closed between ME and PSU, open the interaction between BMC and PSU, such data transmission route
Footpath will not be interfered, and improve the success rate that FW refreshes.
The turn-on and turn-off of each controlling switch are controlled by BMC, to reach BMC-ME-PSU interaction proper communications, PSU
BMC-PSU is interacted when FW upgrades, and ME and PSU communicate the switch that BMC and PSU interactions are opened after closing, and BMC is directly to PSU
Write data.Detailed process includes：
1., the first data path of increase BMC and PSU interactions, while increase by second between the path that PSU and ME are interacted
Controlling switch；
2., the first controlling switch of increase among BMC and PSU direct interactions path；
3., two above switch can by BMC instruct control it is open and close；
4., need upgrade PSU FW when, close PSU and ME between the second data path, open BMC and PSU
Straight-through link；
5., BMC by fixed PSU FW online upgradings logics and instruction directly to PSU send data, to power supply implement
FW updating operations, different transmission rates can be set according to different power supplys to improve the validity of data transfer and correct
Property, while data link is not disturbed by other data, communication reliability further improves；
6., after PSU FW have been upgraded, close the straight-through circuits of PSU and BMC, open the first number of ME and PSU interactions
According to path, traditional information exchange pattern is returned to.
Further, baseboard management controller described in the present embodiment can control the first data according to different power modules
Path sets corresponding transmission rate, to improve the validity of data transfer and correctness.
Based on the result detection to server power supply online updating FW, the present embodiment is set in the baseboard management controller
Renewal detection module is put, the upgrade status of verifying power supply module is used for by updating detection module, after power module failure again
It is secondary that upgrading is updated by baseboard management controller.Preferably to improve server power supply online updating FW effects, ensure clothes
The stability and security of business device.
