Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of server design, in particular to a BMC Flash mirror image self-recovery system and a method.
Background
The BMC chip and related components thereof are a relatively independent out-of-band monitoring system on the server, can independently run without depending on other hardware units, BIOS, operating systems and the like, mainly monitors the temperature, voltage, running state and the like of the server, and can complete the control of the on and off of the whole server and the update of firmware such as the BIOS, a control chip and the like. A special Flash memory is hung below the BMC chip, and data interaction is usually carried out between the BMC chip and the Flash based on an SPI bus protocol. In the power-on starting process of the BMC, the configuration of the internal register of the chip and the initialization of each functional unit are carried out by reading binary data which are pre-burned in Flash, and the BMC chip represents the current working state of the BMC chip by outputting watchdog signals with different frequencies outwards. Data in Flash are generally updated in an off-line burning or BMC on-line upgrading mode, and the correctness and stability of the data in Flash are guaranteed to be important for the normal work of the BMC monitoring system. In the current general server system design, in order to improve the safety and reliability of image files in Flash, algorithms such as MD5 are usually used for data encryption and verification in the encoding process, and SPI routing and the like on the motherboard also have strict requirements.
At present, a plurality of servers adopt a design of dual-BMC Flash, namely two identical flashes are mounted on a group of SPI buses output by BMC, data in the two flashes are mutually backed up, and when data in one Flash is abnormal, the Flash can be timely switched to a standby Flash to ensure that the BMC works normally. However, the dual BMC Flash design cannot completely guarantee the security of the mirror image data in practical engineering applications for the following reasons. Firstly, two flashes have the same SPI routing path and similar mainboard environment on a mainboard, the double flashes have poor anti-interference performance of circuit design similar to each other, when data in one Flash has problems, the other Flash is easy to repeat the condition of the former, and more importantly, when the data in one Flash is abnormally distorted, due to the synchronous design of the double-Flash data, for many servers, the Flash serving as a backup can automatically synchronize wrong mirror image versions, so that the double-redundant Flash redundancy does not play a real role. When the BMC Flash image file is damaged, the image cannot be refreshed remotely, and the image can only be updated one by one or returned to a factory for maintenance through a BMC serial port, so that the self-recovery of the BMC Flash image file is particularly important.
