Detailed Description
The application provides a method and a server for centrally managing a server starting disk, which are used for centrally managing the starting disk of the server, reducing maintenance cost and realizing large-scale automatic management of the starting disk.
It should be noted that, the method for centrally managing the server boot disk provided in the present application may be applied to a server, and may also be applied to a terminal, for example, the terminal may be a smart phone or a fixed terminal such as a computer, a tablet computer, a smart television, a smart watch, a portable computer terminal, or a desktop computer. For convenience of explanation, the server is used as an execution body for illustration in the present application. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the server is specifically provided with a baseboard management controller (BMC, baseboard Management Controller), a basic input output system (BIOS, basic Input Output System), and the like.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a method for starting up a disk by a central management server, where the method includes:
101. the method comprises the steps that a BMC of a server receives a mounting request instruction, and a target remote service hard disk is mounted according to the mounting request instruction;
in this embodiment, the baseboard management controller BMC of the server is a small operating system independent of the server main system, and large-scale unattended operation, such as remote management, monitoring, installation, etc., of the server can be performed through the BMC.
In this embodiment, the BMC may receive a mount request instruction input by an external user through a network storage protocol and a corresponding interface, and then mount a specified target remote service hard disk according to the mount request instruction. For example, an iSCSI storage module of an Internet small computer system interface may be integrated in the BMC unit, and the target remote service hard disk may be remotely mounted as a local hard disk of the server through an ipmi command and the iSCSI interface. Or the Redfish command can be received through the Redfish interface to mount the target remote service hard disk. Alternatively, the remote storage service may be accessed by a simple storage service (S3, simple Storage Service) to mount the target remote service hard disk. In addition, the target remote service hard disk can be mounted according to other modes, and the method is not limited herein.
102. The BMC receives a starting instruction of a server;
in this embodiment, when the server needs to be started, the BMC receives a start instruction of the server, so that the server is started according to the start instruction. Specifically, the BMC may receive a remote ipmi command input based on the intelligent platform management network interface or a Redfish command input by the Redfish interface, and start up the server according to the ipmi command or the Redfish command. Alternatively, the user may start the server through the entity button, and the BMC receives a start command generated by the user pressing the entity button. In addition, the startup instruction of the server may be received according to other manners to perform startup of the server, which is not limited herein.
103. The basic input/output system BIOS of the server obtains a target remote service hard disk according to the starting instruction, wherein the target remote service hard disk stores a starting disk of the server;
in this embodiment, the basic input/output system BIOS of the server is a tamper-proof startup program, and the BIOS is mainly responsible for a system self-checking program and a system self-startup program of the server. Thus, the main functions of the BIOS are to control basic programs after the server is started, including hard disk drive, keyboard setup, floppy disk drive, memory and related devices, etc.
In this embodiment, after the BMC receives the start instruction of the server, the communication connection between the BMC and the BIOS may be performed through the internal bus of the server. And the BIOS acquires the target remote service hard disk mounted by the BMC according to the starting instruction. For example, the virtual hard disk controller may be used to obtain the data, or the data may be obtained according to an NVMe interface (NVM Express), or may be obtained according to other methods, which will not be described in detail in the present embodiment.
It should be noted that, the target remote service hard disk stores a boot disk required for starting the server, and the boot disk may be a boot disk stored in advance in the target remote service hard disk by a user before the target remote service hard disk is mounted on the server. Or after the BMC mounts the target remote service hard disk, the user selects the actually required boot disk by himself, and then installs the boot disk in the target remote service hard disk, which is not limited herein.
104. The BIOS accesses the target remote service hard disk and starts the server according to the boot disk stored in the target remote service hard disk.
In this embodiment, after the BIOS identifies the target remote service hard disk that is mounted, the BIOS accesses the target remote service hard disk, and starts the server according to the boot disk stored in the target remote service hard disk. Specifically, the method includes the steps of entering a Boot Menu interface of a BIOS, determining a mounted target remote service hard disk, selecting the target remote service hard disk to start, and then enabling a server to start the server along with a starting disk stored in the target remote service hard disk when the server starts.
In this embodiment, after receiving the mount request instruction, the BMC of the server mounts the specified target remote service hard disk according to the mount request instruction. When the server needs to be started, the BMC receives a starting instruction of the server. Then, a basic input/output system BIOS of the server acquires a target remote service hard disk mounted by the BMC according to a starting instruction, and a starting disk required by the installation and starting of the server is stored in the target remote service hard disk; then, the BIOS of the server accesses the target remote service hard disk, and selects to start the server according to the starting disk stored in the target remote service hard disk. According to the scheme, the BMC of the server can be pre-mounted with a remote target remote service hard disk as a starting disk. When a starting instruction of the server is received, the starting disk in the remote service hard disk according to the target is selected to start. Therefore, through the scheme, the starting disk is stored in the remote target remote service hard disk, so that not only can the centralized management of the starting disk be realized, but also when the server needs to be started according to the starting disk, the remote service hard disk is started according to the starting disk in the mounted target remote service hard disk, the on-line field maintenance is not needed by the remote service hard disk, the problem that the physical hard disk is needed to be maintained on site when a storage medium of the starting disk is in failure is solved, the management capacity of the starting disk of the server is improved, the maintenance cost of the starting disk is reduced, and the large-scale automatic management of the starting disk is realized.
In order to make the method for centrally managing the server boot disk provided in the present application more obvious, the following details are provided for the method for centrally managing the server boot disk provided in the present application:
referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of a method for centrally managing server boot disks provided in the present application, where the method includes:
201. the server stores the starting disc into a target remote service hard disc;
in this embodiment, the server stores the boot disk in the target remote service hard disk, and specifically, the server copies the system image file that needs to be booted and installed into the target remote service hard disk. For example, if the operating system that the Server needs to boot up to be installed is Windows Server 2003, the Server copies the system image file of the Windows Server 2003 operating system to the target remote service hard disk. Alternatively, the operating system may be installed in the target remote service hard disk by referring to a method of installing the operating system by an entity.
It should be noted that, the target remote service hard disk in this embodiment may be a target remote service hard disk in a target location specified by a user, for example, a block storage in a cloud storage service may be determined as the target remote service hard disk according to an actual requirement of the user. In this embodiment, the boot disk of the server is pre-stored in the target remote service hard disk, so that after the target remote service hard disk is mounted by the BMC of the server, the server main system can be mounted and started according to the boot disk in the target remote service hard disk, thereby improving the starting efficiency of the server.
Optionally, in this embodiment, after the BMC of the server receives the mount request instruction, the target remote service hard disk is mounted according to the mount request instruction, and then the boot disk is stored in the target remote service hard disk. For example, if the operating system corresponding to the boot disk pre-stored in the target remote service hard disk is not the operating system actually required by the user, the user may store the boot disk corresponding to the actually required operating system in the target remote service hard disk after the BMC mounts the target remote hard disk, and the user selects the boot disk to be stored by himself, thereby improving user experience.
202. The method comprises the steps that a BMC of a server receives a mounting request instruction, and a target remote service hard disk is mounted according to the mounting request instruction;
in this embodiment, the BMC mounts the target remote service hard disk in a plurality of ways, and the following is exemplified:
1. and the BMC receives an ipmi command input by a user based on an intelligent platform management network interface, and mounts a target remote service hard disk through an Internet small computer system interface iSCSI according to the ipmi command, wherein the ipmi command carries information of the target remote service hard disk.
In this embodiment, the iSCSI storage module is integrated in the BMC component, and when a remote access system is required, an external user sends an IPMI command to the BMC, and the BMC receives and redirects the local serial interface according to the IPMI session, so as to allow access to the remote system, the console, or the remote storage module. Thus, the BMC may mount the target remote service hard disk according to the ipmi command. The target remote service hard disk is an iSCSI storage hard disk, so that the target remote virtual hard disk mounted by the BMC is a real local hard disk relative to the server system.
2. And the BMC receives a Redfish command input by a user based on the intelligent platform management network interface, and mounts the target remote service hard disk through the iSCSI of the Internet small computer system interface according to the Redfish command, wherein the Redfish command carries information of the target remote service hard disk.
In this embodiment, the BMC may communicate with the external device based on the intelligent platform management network interface and the Rredfish interface, and specifically, may perform communication connection through the Redfish command. Thus, the external user may control the BMC to connect to the designated target remote service hard disk by inputting a Redfish command. The Redfish command carries the hard disk information of the target remote service hard disk, so that the BMC can mount the target remote service hard disk according to the received Redfish command.
3. And the BMC receives a private protocol command input by a user based on the intelligent platform management network interface, and mounts the target remote service hard disk through the iSCSI of the Internet small computer system interface according to the private protocol command, wherein the private protocol command carries information of the target remote service hard disk.
In this embodiment, the BMC may receive a private protocol command input by a user based on the intelligent platform management network interface, determine a target remote service hard disk to mount according to the private protocol command, and mount the target remote service hard disk through iSCSI. The private protocol command may be a command used according to a private protocol standard that is self-defined within a user or within an enterprise. The private protocol is applicable to the BMC device of the server.
4. And the BMC receives the mounting request instruction and mounts the target remote service hard disk through the simple storage service S3 according to the mounting request instruction.
In this embodiment, S3 is theoretically a global storage area network, and may be specifically represented as an oversized hard disk. The BMC can receive the corresponding mounting request instruction, then accesses the remote storage service through the S3 interface, and mounts the target remote service hard disk corresponding to the remote storage service.
5. And the BMC receives the mounting request instruction and mounts the target remote service hard disk through NAS service according to the mounting request instruction.
The NAS network can reasonably, effectively and safely manage data in the network, and has the functions of file sharing, backup disaster recovery and the like. In this embodiment, the BMC may receive a mounting request instruction input by an external user, and determine and mount, according to the mounting request instruction, a target remote service hard disk corresponding to the NAS network memory device.
6. And the BMC receives the mounting request instruction and mounts the target remote service hard disk through the SMB service according to the mounting request instruction.
The SMB service can be used for Wap connectivity and direct information communication between clients and servers. In this embodiment, the target remote service hard disk may be shared as an SMB network storage. And the BMC receives a mounting request instruction input by an external user, and shares a mounting target remote service hard disk through the SMB service according to the mounting request instruction.
In this embodiment, the target remote service hard disk may also be mounted by other manners, which is not limited herein.
203. The BMC receives a starting instruction of a server;
step 203 in this embodiment is similar to step 102 in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, and is not described here again.
204. The basic input/output system BIOS of the server obtains a target remote service hard disk according to the starting instruction, wherein the target remote service hard disk stores a starting disk of the server;
in this embodiment, the BIOS may obtain the target remote service hard disk in a variety of manners, and the following is exemplified:
1. the BIOS detects the BMC virtual hard disk controller according to the starting instruction; and then acquiring the target remote service hard disk mounted by the BMC according to the hard disk controller.
In this embodiment, command and data transmission between the BIOS and the target remote service hard disk is required to be controlled and data transmitted through the intermediate platform of the hard disk controller. Specifically, after detecting and confirming the hard disk controller, the BIOS may receive a Serial ATA (SATA) command through the hard disk controller, and obtain the target remote service hard disk mounted by the BMC according to the SATA command.
2. And the BIOS acquires the target remote service hard disk according to the starting instruction and the virtual NVMe interface of the BMC.
The nonvolatile memory host controller interface Specification (NVMe, NVM Express) is a logical device interface Specification. It is a bus transport protocol specification based on a device logic interface for accessing non-volatile memory media attached via a PCIE bus (PCI Express). Therefore, in this embodiment, the BIOS may also perform data transmission with the BMC through the NVMe interface to obtain the mounted target remote service hard disk.
3. And the BIOS acquires the target remote service hard disk according to the starting instruction and the virtual SATA interface of the BMC.
In this embodiment, the server enters a BIOS mode according to the start command, determines a virtual SATA interface of the BMC, and obtains the target remote service hard disk through the SATA interface and SATA data transmission according to the SATA interface.
4. And the BIOS acquires the target remote service hard disk according to the starting instruction and the SAS interface of the BMC.
In this embodiment, the server enters a BIOS mode according to the start command, determines a SAS interface of the BMC virtual, and obtains a target remote service hard disk through the SAS interface and SAS data transmission according to the SAS interface.
In this embodiment, the target remote service hard disk may also be obtained by other manners, which is not limited herein.
205. The BIOS accesses a target remote service hard disk and starts a server according to a starting disk stored in the target remote service hard disk;
step 205 in this embodiment is similar to step 104 in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, and is not repeated here.
206. The BMC disconnects the mounting of the target remote service hard disk.
Optionally, in this embodiment, after the server system is started, the BMC may disconnect the mounting of the target remote service hard disk, so as to release the resource.
Optionally, after the system of the server is started, the BMC may further destroy the boot disk stored in the mounted target remote service hard disk, so as to release the storage resource in the target remote service hard disk, so that the target remote service hard disk may be used as a virtual hard disk of the server to perform storage management of other resources or files, thereby improving the storage capability of the server.
In this embodiment, the baseboard management controller BMC of the server may receive the mount request instruction in a plurality of ways, and then mount the target remote service hard disk according to the mount instruction. When the starting server needs to be reinstalled, the BMC receives a starting instruction of the server. And the BIOS acquires a target remote service hard disk according to the starting instruction, wherein the starting disk of the server is stored in the target remote service hard disk. Specifically, the boot disk of the server may be stored in the target remote service hard disk in advance, or the boot disk of the corresponding operating system may be stored according to the actual requirement of the user after the target remote service hard disk is mounted on the server. Then, the BIOS accesses the target remote service hard disk according to the start instruction, and selects a start-up server according to the start-up disk stored in the target remote service hard disk. Finally, after determining that the server is started, the BMC may further disconnect the mounting of the target remote service hard disk to release the resource. Therefore, through the scheme, the starting disk is stored in the remote target remote service hard disk, and centralized management of the starting disk can be realized. When the remote service hard disk is required to be started according to the starting disk, the target remote service hard disk is mounted and then the starting disk in the target remote service hard disk is selected to be started, so that the starting disk is stored in the remote service hard disk without on-site maintenance, the problem that a physical hard disk is required to be maintained on site when a storage medium of the starting disk fails is solved, the management capacity of the server starting disk can be improved, the maintenance cost of the server starting disk is reduced, and the large-scale automatic management of the starting disk is realized.
