Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present specification.
The application provides a component upgrade method, which is applied to a management controller in a server, as shown in fig. 1, and includes:
s100, in the process of starting the server, a virtual storage medium is created in the server, and an access channel with the virtual storage medium is created.
On the motherboard in the server, as shown in fig. 2, a processor, a management controller and a boot chip may be provided, and the processor, the management controller and the boot chip may be connected via bridge chipsets (not shown), such as a south bridge chipset and a north bridge chipset, and the management controller may be based on I2The C bus is connected to the components. The management controller may be connected to component 1 and component 2 via a PCIE bus. The Management Controller may be a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller), and based on the configuration, the Management Controller may create a virtual storage medium in the server, such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus), an optical drive, and the like. The guide chip canFor example, a BIOS (Basic Input Output System) or the like. For example, if the created virtual storage medium is a USB, the access channel may be a USB access channel.
The creation process may be implemented based on a function preset in the management controller. For example, the creation process may be that, based on the pre-configuration, the management controller creates a virtual USB, sets the virtual USB to the connection state through the state parameter, and sets the state of the virtual USB to the connection state. So that the boot chip in the server can scan the virtual USB during the self-test. After that, a part of the memory space is divided in the memory of the management controller itself, and the connection between the management controller and the processor is established through the USB bus of the south bridge chipset, that is, the management controller and the processor are connected through the access channel.
Therefore, in the process of starting the server, the boot chip can scan the virtual USB as the USB of the server in the self-test process, and allocate a section of storage space for the USB in the memory corresponding to the processor, so that the storage space divided by the management controller can perform data interaction with the storage space of the memory corresponding to the processor.
S101, if a reading request sent to a virtual storage medium by a processor in a server is received, acquiring a system image corresponding to the reading request from a preset remote device.
During the process of starting the server, the processor can be guided from the virtual storage medium to load the operating system according to the setting of the management controller, and at the moment, the processor sends a reading request to the virtual storage medium. When a read request is sent to the management controller through the access channel, the management controller can determine that the virtual storage medium is accessed by the read request based on the analysis of the read request. The management controller may then determine that the processor needs to boot and acquire the system image needed at boot.
Thereafter, the management controller may access the remote device based on the pre-configuration. The specific access mode may be that a mapping relationship between a certain address in the virtual storage medium and a certain storage space of the remote device is established in the management controller. Through the mapping relationship, the management controller may request the system image from the remote device through a communication protocol adapted to the remote device. The communication Protocol may be a TCP/IP Protocol (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), etc., and is not limited thereto, and only the management controller may perform data communication with the remote device.
And S102, sending the received system image to a memory corresponding to the processor, so that the processor in the server is started based on the system image, and upgrading the components deployed in the server according to the upgrading file contained in the system image.
The system image can be a small-sized operating system, which contains a boot program, a kernel program, an upgrade file for realizing component upgrade, and the like. The system image is from a remote device for management control of the server, such as a KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) device, or other management device connected to the server through a network.
The bootstrap program is used for performing functions such as automatic detection and register setting during the process of restarting the server, for example, UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface), PXE (pre-boot eXecution Environment), BIOS, and other programs. The kernel program may be a driver (such as a PCIE driver) and a management tool applied to connect the components. The upgrade file is a file for upgrading a firmware in the component, and when the component in the server is upgraded, the upgrade file needs to be transmitted to the component, so that the component loads the upgrade file.
In the system image, an upgrade script may be further included, and the upgrade script may be used for implementing relevant execution steps and relevant configuration during the startup process of the server.
Of course, other files, configurations and drivers may be included in the system image, so that the server can load and execute the system, upgrade components and the like by loading the content in the system image.
After receiving the system image, the management controller in the server may send the system image to the memory corresponding to the processor through the access channel. Therefore, in the process of starting the server, the processor can load the system image from the memory to form a small-sized operating system, identify the component deployed in the server through the upgrade script, find the corresponding upgrade file in the system image and issue the upgrade file, and therefore the component can be upgraded based on the issued upgrade file.
Optionally, after the step S101 of mounting the received system image to the virtual storage medium, the method further includes:
s103, receiving the upgrade log generated by the processor, and sending the upgrade log to the remote equipment.
When the system image is sent to the server through the remote device, in order to enable the remote device to know the upgrading condition of the components in the server, the upgrading condition of the server can be recorded. As shown in fig. 2, when two components requiring upgrading, namely, a component 1 and a component 2, are arranged in a server, after an upgrading process is executed, it may be recorded whether the components have completed upgrading or failed to upgrade, for example, the component 1 completes upgrading, but the component 2 does not complete upgrading, and a processor of the server may record in an upgrade log manner, that is, a corresponding relationship between a component identifier, a slot position, and an upgrade result of the component may be recorded in the upgrade log.
After the server completes the upgrade process, the processor may feed back the upgrade log to the management controller for recording, and return the upgrade log to the remote device through the management controller. Therefore, after the remote equipment receives the upgrade log, the upgrade log can be displayed, so that remote workers can know the condition of the upgrade component, further operation of the next step is executed, and the maintenance and upgrade efficiency of the remote server is improved.
Correspondingly, the present application provides a component upgrade method, applied to a processor in a server, as shown in fig. 3, including:
s300, in the process of starting the server, sending a reading request to a virtual storage medium in the server through the established access channel.
When the server is started, the chip is guided to scan, various current devices on the server, such as a USB, an optical drive, a hard disk and the like, are detected, and a plurality of storage spaces are divided in a memory corresponding to the processor to realize mapping of the devices. The virtual storage medium created by the management controller may also be detected as a device, and a storage space in the memory is allocated to the device.
In the boot chip, the priority of the storage medium used for executing system boot may be configured, and the priority of the virtual storage medium may be set higher than that of other storage media so that boot can be performed using the virtual storage medium.
Due to the creation of the management controller, the virtual storage medium is considered by the boot chip and the processor as a physical device connected to the server, and the processor may send a read request based on an access channel with the virtual storage medium.
S301, acquiring a system image corresponding to the reading request, and upgrading the components deployed in the server through the upgrade file acquired from the system image.
When the management controller receives a read request for accessing the virtual storage medium, the management controller may obtain a system image from the remote device based on the preset setting, and send the system image to the memory corresponding to the processor, so that the processor loads the system image. The system image is similar to a small operating system, and after the small operating system is loaded, the upgrading of components can be carried out through the small operating system. Since the system image is already sent to the corresponding memory of the processor, the upgrade can be based on the upgrade operation performed by the in-band channel, and the channel between the processor and the component is not required to be communicated through the management controller based on a management protocol (such as an MCTP protocol).
The specific upgrading process may be that, in step S301, the component deployed in the server is upgraded by the upgrade file acquired in the system image, and the upgrading process includes:
S301A, acquiring the component identification of the component deployed in the server.
After the processor loads the mini operating system, the management controller may detect the components deployed in the server, and determine slot positions of the components and component identifiers of the components, where the component identifiers may be preset according to functions of the components, for example, component identifier 1 indicates that the component is a network card, and component identifier 2 indicates that the component is a hard disk management card.
S301, 301B, searching the corresponding upgrade file in the system image according to the component identification.
After the component identifier is obtained, the processor may search in the system image according to the component identifier, so as to find the upgrade file corresponding to the component identifier. For example, the component identifier 1 corresponds to the upgrade file 1, and the component identifier 2 corresponds to the upgrade file 2.
S301C, sending the searched upgrade file to the corresponding component for upgrading.
After finding the corresponding upgrade file, the processor can operate the small operating system, connect the processor and the component through the in-band channel, and issue the upgrade file to the corresponding component through the in-band channel, so that the component receiving the upgrade file can upgrade the firmware.
S302, after the upgrade is completed, the access channel of the virtual storage medium is disconnected, and the server is restarted.
After the component requiring the upgrade completes the execution of the upgrade and feeds back a notification of the completion of the upgrade to the processor, the processor determines whether all the components perform the operation of completing the upgrade.
After determining that all the components needing to be upgraded feed back the notification of completion of the upgrade, the processor may disconnect the access channel of the virtual storage medium. Wherein the way of disconnecting the access channel may be to eject the created virtual storage medium. In addition, the processor can also complete the disconnection operation through the management controller.
After disconnection, the server is restarted again. Because the access channel of the virtual storage medium is disconnected, the virtual storage medium cannot be detected by the guide chip, and at the moment, the restarting server is started based on the operating system in the server instead of being started through the system mirror image, so that the server returns to normal work.
The technical scheme provided by the implementation mode of the specification can have the following beneficial effects:
in the embodiment of the present specification, a virtual storage medium is created in a server and an access channel with the virtual storage medium is established, when a read request of a processor for the virtual storage medium is received, a system image is obtained from a remote device, the processor is started according to the system image, and a component deployed in the server is upgraded based on an upgrade file included in the system image, so that the server can issue the upgrade file to the component through a loaded system after the system in the system image is loaded, a situation that a management controller needs to issue the upgrade file based on a management protocol is avoided, and flexibility of upgrading the component in the server is improved.
Optionally, the method further includes:
and S303, after the upgrade is finished, generating an upgrade log and sending the upgrade log to the management controller.
Wherein, the upgrade log records the part identification of the part completing the upgrade.
After receiving the notification of the completion of the upgrade or the notification of the failure of the upgrade fed back by the component, the processor may record the correspondence between the component identifier, the slot position, and the upgrade result of the component based on the notification of the completion of the upgrade, that is, generate an upgrade log. By recording, the processor can know which parts are upgraded and which parts have errors in the upgrading process.
After the processor generates the upgrade log, the upgrade log can be sent to the management controller for storage, so that the management controller can display the upgrade log, and a worker can determine the upgrade condition of each component. And if the system image comes from the remote equipment, the upgrade log can be returned to the remote equipment through the management controller, so that a worker who operates the remote equipment at the remote end to upgrade the components can know the result of the component upgrade, and the efficiency of remotely upgrading the server is improved.
