For example in video conferencing MCU (multipoint control unit) performance history and daily maintenance, through regular meeting software upgrade problem to veneer appears.Most upgradings all is the mode by manual upgrading, promptly by the version number of the manual Input Software of operating personnel, and the catalogue of board software correspondence and file, and the device of the veneer that will upgrade etc.Here variety of issue will appear,
At first because be manual input, the version number of input error so just inevitably can occur, select wrong software, upgrading is wrong device etc.These situations occur and can cause more serious consequence, gently then cause the single board software edition confusion, manageability not, heavy then cause total system paralysis machine, bring bigger loss to the user.
Secondly since in the system software version of each device be need supporting mutually, such as device A software 1.20 versions can only respective devices B software 1.50 versions.Owing to there is not unified management, the software correspondence that is easy to occur 1.20 versions of A so the software of 1.40 versions of B, can cause some unpredictable problems like this.
Once more, owing to the type of veneer in the system is a lot, quantity is also a lot, if adopt the mode of manual upgrading, so every veneer all needs to carry out repetitive operation, if the speed of certain single board updating software is very slow, maintainer's time will have been wasted greatly, and upgrading the time can not carry out normal business operation, concerning the user, influences bigger.
And the mode of this existing upgrade software,,, needs to detect again, again upgrading during problems such as system Down machine if communication disruption occurred in the process of upgrading than higher to the reliability requirement of system communication at present.
So just press for a kind of brand-new upgrade software thinking, can overcome above-named drawback.
The objective of the invention is to the software upgrading of various devices in the system is risen to the height of a system, concentrate and finish automatically, reduce the randomness of software upgrading, thereby improve the maintainability and the reliability of system by system.
According to an aspect of the present invention, proposed a kind of in comprising the system of a plurality of veneers the method for auto upgrading, wherein, set up the supporting table of software version of each veneer in the described system, with set up the board software storehouse, during upgrading, from described board software storehouse, extract the software of each veneer automatically, respectively each veneer is upgraded according to described version matching table.
According to another aspect of the present invention, propose a kind of system that includes a plurality of veneers and can carry out auto upgrading, included supporting table of the software version of each veneer and board software storehouse in the described system at least; During upgrading, described system extracts the software of each veneer automatically according to described version matching table from described board software storehouse, respectively each veneer is upgraded.
According to a further aspect of the invention, propose a kind of device that the system that includes a plurality of veneers is carried out auto upgrading, included supporting table of the software version of each veneer and board software storehouse in the described system at least; During upgrading, from described board software storehouse, extract the software of each veneer automatically, respectively each veneer is upgraded according to described version matching table.
Core of the present invention is to set up a cover version maintenance mechanism, regards total system as an integral body during upgrade software, and the software of this veneer of not only will upgrading also will be considered the integrality of total system.The present invention rises to the software upgrading of various devices the height of total system, concentrate and finish automatically by system, reduce the randomness of software upgrading, avoided the chaotic and conflict of version between each board software, thereby improve the maintainability and the reliability of system.
For making purpose of the present invention, principle, technical scheme and advantage clearer, by the following examples, and with reference to accompanying drawing, the present invention is described in more detail.Wherein
Fig. 1 shows the process flow diagram of system's execution auto upgrading in a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
Core of the present invention is to set up a cover version maintenance mechanism, regards total system as an integral body during upgrade software, and the software of this veneer of not only will upgrading also will be considered the integrality of total system.Described system can be MCU, TV conference system multipoint control unit or image interchange facility.
At first set up the supporting table of each board software in the system, this supporting table can be deposited with the form of database.The software version number of each veneer in the table needs to safeguard, confirms that this version matching table is correct, the version that can use.Preferably, each the group version that matches in this version matching table can be assigned with a system version number.
Set up the board software storehouse,,, the board software of correspondence is put into corresponding position according to the version number of describing in the version matching table with the different version of various board softwares according to certain catalogue format.
Described version matching table and board software storehouse can be set directly in the described system, also can be arranged in the update device that is exclusively used in to system upgrade, only use this device in time side that system is upgraded.
When using the auto upgrading function, system extracts the software of each veneer automatically according to version matching table, sends to main frame and upgrades.Preferably, when upgrading,, upgrade simultaneously to same type veneer device.
Preferably, during host-initiated, during the host-initiated of system, detect the actual single board edition that reports and whether meet described version matching table,, then point out the user if do not meet.Upgrading is then extracted board software, the software of the inconsistent veneer of upgraded version if desired.
Version matching table is the basis of auto upgrading, preferably has special personnel to safeguard, is correct to guarantee data, and wherein each software can co-ordination.
Fig. 1 shows the process flow diagram of system's execution auto upgrading in a preferred embodiment of the present invention.In this preferred embodiment, the data that described version matching table comprises at least have: the path of the needed software of auto upgrading, and the system version of whole version number, the version number of each veneer also will guarantee to comprise in the path of appointment the data of all needs.
As shown in Figure 1, the process of executive system auto upgrading can be: the upgrading point obtains the detected board type of system; The definite device that will upgrade; From version matching table, obtain the current version number of this device; The catalogue of location board software; Read the board software of this device correspondence under this catalogue; With the unified system that will upgrade that sends to of software data and version number; The veneer of all the type of system searching; Send the software data and the version number of this device to the veneer of all the type; The result of each device upgrading is fed back to the upgrading point; The upgrading point determines whether that according to the result of upgrading needs resend upgrade data; If all these devices are upgraded successfully, repeat upgrade other device of this process.
Preferably, when system's cold start-up, carry out the version consistency detection.The process of carrying out the version consistency detection can be: system's cold start-up; Collect information about the version of each veneer device; Version table that can extraction system reality from these information; Confirm whether actual version table may consistent with version matching table; If version is inconsistent, system can extract the report of a version contrast; Notify the user, system version and version matching table version are inconsistent, and whether PLSCONFM is upgraded; If the user selects to upgrade, enter the system intelligence upgrade function, the board software of upgrading again.
In the system of newly dispatching from the factory, have only the single board software edition of assembly cover in the version matching table usually, also have only corresponding one group of board software in the board software storehouse.As time goes on, along with the increase or the renewal of software version, version matching table and board software storehouse need to be serviced and corresponding renewal.Promptly after the system single board software upgrading, when important changes of function particularly having occurred, need rebulid a large paper edition, at this moment need the version number of the corresponding board software of this large paper edition is added in the version matching table upgrading in its record.After upgrading several times, the result who causes is: produce a version repository, in store each board software of the inside sectional lists.The user can select supporting software version according to own demand.Like this with total system as a version, reduced the chance that the user directly controls each device version, thereby improved system version consistance and integrality.
For using system of the present invention, some advanced level user may have specific demand, for example can have such situation, and the user just hopes the veneer of a certain type of upgrading.These users are familiar to the total system version, but do not want the single board updating that all are all again, because so relatively lose time.Can adopt following method to realize for such demand.
All board types and device are listed, and veneer and device by the own selection of user will be upgraded obtain the corresponding software catalogue then from version matching table.From catalogue, obtain corresponding software, this software and version number are sent to the veneer of all this type, thereby finish upgrading the part veneer.Therefore, the present invention not only can satisfy the entire system upgrading, but also can satisfy the specific demand of advanced level user.
The invention has the advantages that, use the mode of intelligence upgrading to upgrade behind the software, can greatly reduce because The software version does not match the system failure problem that causes, and the reliability of system is greatly improved. And be System maintenance personnel again do not spend and confirm that by hand version number, device go upgrading, can improve the maintenance personnel greatly Operating efficiency. When configuration is dispatched from the factory in system, only need version number of system of record to get final product, just can get Arrive the software type of each device of whole system, reduced the workload of the system that safeguards.
