Brief description of the drawings
The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Accompanying drawing 1 is the theory diagram of existing server power supply online upgrading；
Accompanying drawing 2 is the theory diagram of the server power supply online upgrading after improving.
Embodiment
The invention will be further described with specific embodiment below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Firmware (firmware) is generally stored in the electricallyerasable ROM (EEROM) EEPROM (Electrically in equipment
Erasable Programmable ROM) or FLASH chip in, can typically be risen by user by specific refurbishing procedure
The program of level.PSU (power supply units) power module； BMC（ Baseboard Management
Controller）Baseboard management controller；IPMI (IPMI) is that a kind of hardware management of open standard connects
Mouth specification, defines the ad hoc approach that embedded management subsystem is communicated.IPMI information passes through baseboard management controller
(BMC) exchanged (on the nextport hardware component NextPort of IPMI specifications).KCS interfaces,（Keyboard Controller Style,
KBC mode）.
The present invention is a kind of method for lifting server power supply online updating firmware reliability, it is only necessary to BMC software support,
Hardware circuit need not be changed.
Embodiment 1：
The method of existing server power supply online updating firmware is：
1）, based on linux operating systems, it is necessary to which FW documents and ROMPaq are placed in system folder when upgrading FW；
2), perform ROMPaq and start PSU FW upgradings；
3）, upgrading power supply FW when pass through in BMC KCS interfaces carry out communications；
4）, KCS interface modules can send data to PSU by communication port between local processes and carry out FW version liters in transmitting procedure
Level；
5）, above-mentioned data transfer while, BMC can also synchronously read PSU information；
6）, PSU information is read due to BMC can influence FW upgrading data transmission credibilities, so this scheme it is not recommended that take, can drop
Low power supply FW success rates for upgrading.
The method of server power supply online updating firmware after improvement is：
1）, read PSU information modules in BMC and add interrupt routine, there is provided interrupt processing interface and instruction；
2）, before and after PSU FW ROMPaqs increase open interrupt and end interrupt instruction；
3）, PSU carry out FW upgradings when, ROMPaq first to BMC send open interrupt instruction, after BMC receives instruction, close
Power information module is read in BMC, stops the reading to power information；
4）, PSU FW upgrading terminate after, ROMPaq to BMC send close interrupt instruction, after BMC receives instruction, open
Power information module is read in BMC, BMC starts to be read out power information；
5）, the closing of reading PSU information modules in BMC can be to close all electric source modes, electricity can also be upgraded as needed
The information of address bit in source closes the information read mode for needing to upgrade power supply, and this part can adjust according to practical application,
It is unrestricted.
The present invention increases interrupt routine in BMC programs, is allowed before PSU upgrades FW and PSU information submodules are read inside BMC
Block break-off, PSU FW resume work after upgrading successfully.Stopping readings of the BMC to PSU information in PSU FW escalation process can
To cancel influence of the redundant communication to ROMPaq, the success rate and reliability of PSU FW upgradings are improved.
By embodiment above, the those skilled in the art can readily realize the present invention.But it should manage
Solution, the present invention are not limited to above-mentioned several embodiments.On the basis of disclosed embodiment, the technical field
