In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiment of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, a method for generating a physical location of a hard disk in a BIOS according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
1) after the server is started, the BIOS is initialized.
2) The BIOS loads hard disk related drives such as AHCI.
3) The BIOS collects the model, serial number, logic position information and the like of the hard disk by using the loaded hard disk drive to form HDDList.
4) The BIOS obtains configuration information, which is information for writing server hard disk configuration information (information for identifying machine configuration, which may be only one identifier) into a nonvolatile storage device such as an FRU when the server is manufactured, for example, 0x04300706 indicates a Sata 6 disk, an SSTATA7 disk, an SAS 32 disk, and an NVME 4 disk.
The nonvolatile memory device described in the above paragraph is not limited to a FRU (Field replaceable Unit), and RRAM (resistive random access memory) or ROM (read only memory) may be used.
5) Based on the topological relation of the logical positions, all hard disk slots are sequentially arranged in a mode of combining from top to bottom and from left to right, the physical sequence of each slot is associated to HDDList, and each group of hard disk information in the HDDList is ensured to include the model number, the serial number, the logical position information and the slot serial number information.
Based on the description, the generated physical position numbers are sorted according to the logical positions, the hard disks are connected in sequence according to the mainboard design and the configuration information in the hard disk connection mode during production, and finally the one-to-one correspondence between the hard disk information position numbers in the BIOS and the actual physical number labels of the servers is realized.
6) And the BIOS executes refreshing operation, replaces the original hard disk information with the updated hard disk information, displays the updated hard disk information at the position of the hard disk information in the Setup under the BIOS page in a character string mode, and comprises the model number, the serial number, the logic position information and the slot position serial number information.
Based on the foregoing method, in the process of executing the foregoing method, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a device for generating a physical location of a hard disk in a BIOS, as can be seen with reference to fig. 2, where the device corresponds to the steps in the method, and specifically includes:
and the loading module loads the hard disk related drives such as the AHCI and the like to the BIOS after the BIOS is initialized.
After the loading is finished, the first acquisition module collects hard disk information such as models, serial numbers, logic position information and the like by using the loaded drive.
Based on the collected hard disk information, the generation module establishes an HDDList, wherein the HDDList is in a table form or a character string form, in the table form, the vertical row is a serial number, and the horizontal row is a model number, a serial number and a logic position in sequence; under the character string form, the serial number, the model number, the serial number and the logic position are connected end to form a group of character strings.
In addition to the hard disk information, the second collection module obtains configuration information, where the configuration information is obtained by writing server hard disk configuration information (information for identifying machine configuration, which may be only one identifier) into a nonvolatile storage device such as an FRU during production of the server, for example, 0x04300706 indicates Sata 6 disks, SSTATA7 disks, SAS 32 disks, and NVME 4 disks.
After the configuration information is obtained, the first updating module can associate the configuration information with the hard disk information, and generates physical position information and updates the physical position information to HDDList according to a preset ordering principle by using a topological relation of the logical position information.
When the first updating module realizes the function, the first updating module is executed in sequence based on several internal units, and the first updating module comprises the following components:
and the identification unit is used for reading the topological relation of the logic position, and the topological relation is information contained in the logic position information.
And the sequencing unit is used for sequencing all the hard disk slots in a mode of combining top-down and left-to-right based on a topological relation, and the specific sequencing has no specific requirement and can be firstly from top-down or from left-to-right.
And the updating unit is used for associating the physical sequence of each slot position to the HDDList, specifically, the physical serial number of each slot position is associated with a group of hard disk information in the HDDList, and each group of hard disk information in the HDDList is ensured to include the model number, the serial number, the logic position information and the slot position serial number information.
After the first updating module is completed, we can already know the physical position information of the hard disk, but for better display and reference, the second updating module can be used for updating the hard disk information of the BIOS page based on HDDList.
The updating process is realized based on two units, and firstly, a reading unit is required to read the updated hard disk information in HDDList; then, for the read information, the refresh unit executes BIOS refresh operation, replaces the original hard disk information with the updated hard disk information, displays the updated hard disk information at the position of the hard disk information in the Setup under the BIOS page, and displays the hard disk information in the form of character strings, wherein the hard disk information comprises the model number, the serial number, the logic position information and the slot position serial number information.
The foregoing are merely exemplary embodiments of the present invention, which enable those skilled in the art to understand or practice the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention.
