Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the 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.
The embodiment of the invention discloses a BMC loading method of a multi-node server, which is applied to CMC nodes and is shown in figure 1, and the method comprises the following steps:
s11: restarting by utilizing a restart signal sent by a BMC management node;
s12: and remotely mounting the BMC program in the BMC management node and running.
Specifically, after the local BMC program is updated, the BMC management node sends a restart signal to each CMC node, so that each CMC node remotely mounts the BMC program in the BMC management node again and runs the BMC program.
Specifically, after being powered on, the CMC node can actively access the BMC management node, find the latest BMC program in the BMC management node, mount the latest BMC program in the BMC management node remotely, project the latest BMC program in the BMC management node to the local and operate, the CMC node does not need to store the BMC program locally, and does not need to receive new BMC update data when the BMC is updated, so that a flash chip can be removed, and hardware cost can be saved.
Specifically, after the CMC node is started each time, the latest or currently used BMC program in the BMC management node is remotely mounted, so that after the BMC program is updated by the BMC management node, the CMC node can also mount the same or the latest BMC program as that in the BMC management node after being restarted, thereby upgrading the BMC program of the CMC node.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the invention, the CMC node does not locally store the BMC program, but remotely mounts the BMC program in the BMC management node, so that the consistency with the BMC program in the BMC management node is ensured, and after the BMC program in the BMC management node is updated, the remotely mounted CMC node also completes the update of the BMC program, and does not need to receive an update data packet to update locally, so that a flash chip is not needed, the update and operation efficiency is improved, and the hardware cost is saved.
Further, the BMC program in the BMC management node may be stored in a BMC mirror mode, and the CMC node remotely mounts the BMC mirror in the BMC management node so as to project the BMC mirror to the local and run the BMC program stored therein.
Further, as shown in fig. 2, the CMC node 1 and the BMC management node 2 may communicate with each other through a network router 3 via a network to construct a remote mount channel, and specifically, a network router inside a multi-node server may be used.
It is to be appreciated that the BMC management node may be communicatively interconnected in parallel with a plurality of CMC nodes via a network router.
Furthermore, the CMC node can remotely mount the BMC mirror image in the BMC management node to the local memory through the network router, and then operate the BMC mirror image from the local memory.
Correspondingly, the embodiment of the invention also discloses a multi-node server BMC updating method, which is applied to BMC management nodes and is shown in fig. 3, and the method comprises the following steps:
s21: receiving BMC updating data;
s22: and updating the local BMC program by utilizing the BMC updating data.
Specifically, when the BMC program in the BMC management node needs to be updated, the local BMC program may be updated through the BMC update data uploaded in-band or out-of-band.
S23: and loading and running a local BMC program.
Specifically, after the update is completed, the local latest BMC program is recorded and run, so as to continuously manage and control other CMC nodes.
Furthermore, if the update fails, the updated local BMC program cannot run, a rollback may be performed to rollback the version of the BMC program to a version before the update, and the update failure is prompted, so that maintenance personnel can perform maintenance conveniently.
S24: and sending a restart signal to all the CMC nodes so that all the CMC nodes remotely mount the local latest BMC program again and operate the program.
Specifically, after the update is completed, a restart signal is sent to all CMC nodes to restart all CMC nodes, and after the CMC nodes are restarted, the BMC program in the BMC management node is remotely mounted again, so that the BMC program update of the CMC nodes is realized.
Therefore, the BMC program of the whole multi-node server can be updated only by updating the BMC program in the BMC management node, besides, the CMC node does not locally store the BMC program any more, but remotely mounts the BMC program in the BMC management node, so that the consistency with the BMC program in the BMC management node is ensured, and after the BMC program in the BMC management node is updated, the remotely mounted CMC node also equivalently completes the updating of the BMC program, and does not need to receive an update data packet to update locally, so that a flash chip is not needed any more, the updating and operating efficiency is improved, and the hardware cost is saved.
Specifically, the received BMC update data may be specifically a BMC update mirror, the local BMC mirror is updated through the BMC update mirror, and the local BMC management node runs the updated local BMC mirror, thereby running the latest BMC program.
Further, after sending the restart signal to all CMC nodes, S25 and S26 may be further included; wherein,
s25: judging whether abnormal CMC nodes which are not started normally exist;
s26: and if the abnormal CMC node exists, sending a restarting signal to the abnormal CMC node so as to enable the abnormal CMC node to remotely mount the local latest BMC program again and run.
Specifically, part of the CMC nodes may cause the CMC nodes to be unable to be normally started due to compatibility or other reasons, and therefore, after sending the resume instruction, it is necessary to determine whether there is an abnormal CMC node that is not normally started, and if there is an abnormal CMC node, a resume signal may be sent to the abnormal CMC node again, so that the abnormal CMC node remotely mounts the local latest BMC program again to try to run, so that the abnormal CMC node may be recovered to be normal.
Furthermore, the restarting frequency can be set, if the problem still cannot be solved after the same abnormal CMC node is restarted for multiple times and reaches the preset restarting frequency, the abnormal CMC node is not restarted, but prompt information can be generated to prompt a user to maintain.
