Detailed Description

In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more comprehensible, the present application is described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description.

When a manufacturer releases a network card, usually one network card may have multiple FW versions, and FW versions with different characteristics are required for different customers, many times these different FW versions may be mutually converted, and when a customer purchases the network card, the customer may purchase an excessive amount of hard disks of a certain FW version, but after a while, there may be situations that the FW version has an updatable FW version or a better FW version in terms of performance or energy consumption, and at this time, a production line is required to refresh the FW versions, and then the FW versions are matched with machines with different configurations for shipment. After a client uses a certain FW for a long time, the FW version may not meet the current requirements along with the service requirements, and the network card FW on the existing server needs to be upgraded.

In the related technology for upgrading the network cards of the server, if the FW of all the network cards of the same manufacturer on the server is the same, the FW upgrade test of the network cards is usually directly carried out, and the server can upgrade the network cards of the same manufacturer on the same chip; when network cards with different network card forms of the same chip, such as an OCP network card and a PCIE network card, exist on a server at the same time and the FW of the sub-network cards is different, or when it is only desired to upgrade the FW of one network card (for example, OCP) and the FW of the other network cards (PCIE types) remain unchanged, the server needs to be powered off first, and the PCIE network card is pulled out, and then the FW of the OCP network card is upgraded when the server is powered on, and then the PCIE network card is inserted, so that the FW upgrade of only one network card type can be realized. In addition, the upgrading of the network card FW in the production line or the customer site causes inconvenience and extra workload.

One of the core ideas of the embodiment of the application is that when at least two in-place network cards with the same chip and different network card models and/or different network card forms exist on a server, the in-place network cards on the server can be subjected to hot plug-based design, the in-place network cards which are not upgraded currently are kept in place in a power-off mode, the network cards which need to be upgraded currently are kept in place, and the network cards FW (firmware) of the network cards are upgraded independently, so that the requirement of upgrading the same chip of the server into different network cards FW (firmware) is met in a mode that a case is not opened and the network cards are not plugged, the requirement of producing the same chip of the server into different network cards FW in batch on a production line is met, and the requirement of upgrading various network cards FW by a client can be met; and establishing a network card FW configuration file for the network card, and performing automatic upgrading operation based on the configuration information to realize simultaneous network card FW upgrading for the network cards of multiple servers, so that sequential upgrading of the network cards one by one is avoided, batch maintenance of network card upgrading is facilitated, the network card FW upgrading efficiency is improved, and the workload of production line workers for disassembling and assembling machines and network cards to realize FW upgrading of different network cards on the same chip is greatly saved. Furthermore, for the client, the maintenance operation of the boot box cover is avoided, the requirement that different network card FW upgrades of the network cards of the same chip on the same server are realized based on the command operation according to the configuration information is met, and the maintainability of the server is improved.

Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of steps of an embodiment of a method for upgrading a server network card according to the present application is shown, and when the method is applied to a server, the method specifically includes the following steps:

step 101, receiving a network card upgrading requirement request sent by a client;

the network cards on the server can be represented as network cards of the same chip, can be network cards of different network card models, can also be network cards of different network card forms (such as OCP network cards or PCIE network cards), and can also be network cards of the same form but with different network card models; even if the same chip is used, the network models of the multiple network cards included in the same chip are different, wherein the network models may refer to slots used by the network cards in the server. Generally, however, a network card of one network card model generally has only one chip.

It should be noted that the network card model corresponds to a specific PN code, and the OCP type and the PCIE type are only roughly classified from the form of the network card, that is, the OCP-form network card and the PCIE-form network card can be classified into many network card models.

In order to realize the upgrading operation of different upgrading version requirements of the same chip on the in-place network card under the condition of not opening a chassis and plugging and unplugging the network card, and realize the upgrading operation of one in-place network card on the in-place network card without performing the upgrading operation of the other in-place network card so as to meet the upgrading requirements of customers on various network cards FW, when at least two in-place network cards with different network card models and/or different network card forms of the same chip exist on a server, the in-place network cards on the server can be subjected to hot plug design, namely at least two in-place network cards are inserted into the server based on the hot plug design.

The hot plug refers to hot plug, and the hot plug function is to allow a user to disconnect a certain component from the system based on power-off operation under the condition of not closing the system and not cutting off the power supply, so that the hot plug design is carried out to realize the out-of-position phenomenon of the network card which is not upgraded temporarily under the condition of not realizing physical plug of the network card, and the network card required to be upgraded is conveniently upgraded independently.

In the embodiment of the application, the network card to be upgraded can be determined based on the network card upgrading requirement sent by the client, the received network card upgrading requirement request can include the network card information of the network card to be upgraded and the upgrading version requirement to be upgraded, and at the moment, the server can determine the network card to be upgraded based on the network card information in the network card upgrading requirement request, so that the subsequent power-off operation of the network card not to be upgraded is facilitated; the server can determine whether the network cards required to be upgraded in the in-place network cards have different upgrading requirements or not based on the upgrading version requirements in the network card upgrading requirement request so as to determine an upgrading sequence and carry out network card upgrading operation based on the upgrading sequence; and the server can also determine whether the in-place network cards with the same upgrading requirements exist based on the upgrading version requirements in the request so as to realize batch upgrading operation in the subsequent network card upgrading process.

102, acquiring a network card identifier of a network card to be upgraded in a server based on network card information of the network card to be upgraded, and generating configuration information aiming at the network card to be upgraded according to the network card identifier;

after receiving a network card upgrading requirement request sent by a client, at this time, a network card identifier of the network card to be upgraded in a server can be acquired based on network card information of the network card to be upgraded, and a network card identifier BDF (Bus Device Function, which may be represented as a Bus number, a Device number, and a Function number in sequence) may be a unique identifier of the on-site network card in the server, so as to determine relevant on-site information of the network card to be upgraded in the server based on the unique identifier, and generate configuration information.

The configuration information may be used to indicate a network card position and an upgrade version requirement for the network card to be upgraded, and specifically may be used to indicate a network card position when the power-off operation is performed on the in-place network card in the server subsequently, and a network card upgrade requirement required to be met when the upgrade operation is performed on the network card to be upgraded subsequently. In practical application, based on the indication of the configuration information, the network card to be upgraded can be upgraded as required, the network cards of a plurality of servers can be upgraded with the FW (firmware upgrade) of the network cards at the same time, the sequential upgrading of the network cards one by one is avoided, the upgrading of the network cards is convenient to maintain in batches, the FW upgrading efficiency of the network cards is improved, and the workload of production line workers for disassembling and assembling machines and the network cards to realize the FW upgrading of different network cards on the same chip is greatly saved.

The upgrade version requirements indicated by the configuration information may generally include different upgrade version requirements of the same chip, and/or the same chip retains the original version requirements. And judging whether the network card required to be upgraded has different upgrading requirements or not, wherein the judgment can be mainly carried out based on whether the version required to be upgraded is the same or not.

And 103, performing power-off operation on other in-place network cards except the current network card required to be upgraded according to the configuration information, and performing upgrading operation on the current network card required to be upgraded based on the version requirement required to be upgraded.

After the configuration information for indicating the network card position and the upgrade version requirement for the network card to be upgraded is obtained, the configuration information can be used for indicating the subsequent network card position when the network card in place in the server is powered off and the network card upgrade requirement required to be met when the network card to be upgraded is subsequently upgraded, at this time, other network cards in place except the current network card to be upgraded can be automatically powered off based on the configuration information, namely, the network card in place on the server is designed based on hot plug, the network card to be upgraded is kept in place by keeping the current network card not to be upgraded in a power off mode, and the network card FW upgrade is separately performed on the network card/batch of network cards, so that the requirement of upgrading the same chip of the server into different FWs in a mode of not opening a case and not plugging the network cards is met.

When the network card in place except the current network card required to be upgraded is powered off, the current network card required to be upgraded which is kept in place can be upgraded according to the requirement of the required upgrade version.

In an embodiment of the application, after the upgrade operation is performed, the server may be restarted and the network card FW is detected to determine whether the upgrade is successful, and if the upgrade is failed, a prompt message may be generated to prompt the manual upgrade.

Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart of steps of another embodiment of a method for upgrading a server network card according to the present application is shown, which may specifically include the following steps:

step 201, acquiring a network card identifier of the network card to be upgraded in a server based on the network card information of the network card to be upgraded, and generating configuration information aiming at the network card to be upgraded according to the network card identifier;

in the embodiment of the application, in order to realize the upgrading operation of different upgrading version requirements of the same chip on the on-site network card without opening a chassis and plugging the network card, and realize the upgrading operation of one on-site network card without performing the upgrading operation of the other on-site network card on the on-site network card, so as to meet the requirements of a client on upgrading FW of various network cards, when at least two on-site network cards of different network card models and/or different network card forms of the same chip exist on a server, the on-site network card on the server can be subjected to hot plug design, that is, at least two on-site network cards are inserted into the server based on the hot plug design, so that the phenomenon that the network card which is not temporarily upgraded is not in place is realized under the condition that the physical plugging of the network card is not realized through the hot plug design, and the network card which is required to be upgraded is convenient to upgrade alone.

In practical application, the network card to be upgraded can be determined based on the network card upgrading requirement sent by the client, the received network card upgrading requirement request can include network card information of the network card to be upgraded and upgrading version requirement to be upgraded, at this time, the network card identifier BDF of the network card to be upgraded in the server can be obtained based on the network card information of the network card to be upgraded, relevant in-place information of the network card to be upgraded in the server is determined, and configuration information is generated.

In a specific implementation, the network card model of the network card to be upgraded, the current network card version, and the network card position of the network card to be upgraded at the server may be queried according to the network card identifier of the network card to be upgraded at the server, and then configuration information for the network card to be upgraded is generated based on the queried network card model of the network card to be upgraded, the current network card version, the network card position of the network card to be upgraded at the server, and the upgrade version requirement of the network card to be upgraded.

Then, the configuration information may be used to indicate a network card position and an upgrade version requirement for the network card to be upgraded, and specifically may be used to indicate a network card position when the power-off operation is performed on the in-place network card in the server subsequently, and a network card upgrade requirement required to be met when the upgrade operation is performed on the network card to be upgraded subsequently. In practical application, based on the indication of the configuration information, the network card to be upgraded can be upgraded as required, the network cards of a plurality of servers can be upgraded with the FW (firmware upgrade) of the network cards at the same time, the sequential upgrading of the network cards one by one is avoided, the upgrading of the network cards is convenient to maintain in batches, the FW upgrading efficiency of the network cards is improved, and the workload of production line workers for disassembling and assembling machines and the network cards to realize the FW upgrading of different network cards on the same chip is greatly saved.

Step 202, judging whether the same chip with different upgrading version requirements exists in the network card to be upgraded according to the configuration information, and if the same chip with different upgrading version requirements exists in the network card to be upgraded, determining an upgrading sequence based on the different upgrading version requirements;

the server can determine the network card required to be upgraded based on the generated configuration information so as to perform power-off operation on the network card not required to be upgraded; the server can determine whether the network cards required to be upgraded in the in-place network cards have different upgrading requirements based on the generated configuration information so as to determine an upgrading sequence and carry out network card upgrading operation based on the upgrading sequence; and the server can also determine whether the in-place network cards with the same upgrading requirements exist based on the generated configuration information so as to realize batch upgrading operation in the network card upgrading process.

In an embodiment of the present application, when performing an upgrade operation on an in-place network card, there is a situation that the upgrade operation required by different upgrade versions of the same chip is performed on the in-place network card without opening a chassis and plugging and unplugging the network card. For example, when upgrading the network cards with different network card forms and/or different network card types, such as the PCIE network card and the OCP network card, on the same chip, even if the network cards belong to the same chip, the PCIE network card and the OCP network card on the same chip generally need to be upgraded to the different network cards FW.

And 203, sequentially determining the network card position of the current network card required to be upgraded according to the upgrading sequence, and performing power-off operation on other in-place network cards except the current network card required to be upgraded according to the determined network card position of the current network card required to be upgraded until the network cards required to be upgraded are upgraded according to different upgrading version requirements.

When judging whether the same chip with different upgrading version requirements exist in the network card to be upgraded according to the configuration information, if the same chip with different upgrading version requirements exists in the network card to be upgraded, determining an upgrading sequence based on the different upgrading version requirements so as to upgrade the network card to be upgraded corresponding to the different upgrading version requirements based on the determined upgrading sequence.

Specifically, the network card position of the current network card required to be upgraded can be sequentially determined according to the upgrading sequence, and other network cards in place except the current network card required to be upgraded are powered off according to the determined network card position of the current network card required to be upgraded until the network cards required to be upgraded are upgraded according to different upgrading version requirements. The network card position of the on-site network card is mainly determined according to the PCIE topology and the silk-screen printing on the case, and the only position of the network card in the server can be determined when the network card is inserted into the server.

In practical application, when it is determined that the same-chip different-upgrade version requirements exist in the network card to be upgraded, firstly, the network card to be upgraded can be determined according to the upgrade sequence, and the network card position of the network card to be upgraded and the network card positions of other in-place network cards except the network card position of the network card to be upgraded are obtained; and then based on the network card positions of other in-place network cards, performing power-off operation on other in-place network cards except the first network card to be upgraded, performing upgrading operation on the first network card to be upgraded according to the version requirement to be upgraded, subsequently performing power-off operation on the first network card to be upgraded after the upgrading operation is completed, and performing upgrading operation on the subsequent network cards to be upgraded according to different upgrading version requirements according to the upgrading sequence.

The method mainly comprises the steps of obtaining the required upgrading network cards with different upgrading version requirements if the required upgrading network cards still have different upgrading version requirements after the upgrading of the first required upgrading network card is completed, carrying out power-off operation on the required upgrading network cards after the upgrading is completed, and upgrading the network card versions of the required upgrading network cards according to the corresponding upgrading version requirements. The upgrade is completed by restarting the server and detecting the network card after the upgrade operation is performed on the network card required to be upgraded, wherein the network card version is the same as the network card FW required to be upgraded in the configuration information generated aiming at the network card required to be upgraded, and if the network card version of the network card after the upgrade operation is the same as the network card FW required to be upgraded, the upgrade operation for the network card required to be upgraded is completed.

Exemplarily, assuming that a PCIE network card and an OCP network card of the same chip need to be upgraded to different network cards FW, when the server network card FW is upgraded, the network card model, the network card position, and the upgrade version requirement that needs to be upgraded, which are generally expressed in a configuration file, may be based on the provided configuration information, before the network card FW is upgraded, a hot plug power-off operation is performed on the OCP network card, and at this time, the OCP network card after power-off is not in place, and the PCIE network card may be upgraded to FW; after the update of the PCIE network card is completed, the power supply of the OCP network card can be recovered, and then the hot plug power-off operation is executed on the PCIE network card after the update is completed.

In a preferred embodiment, when upgrading the in-place network cards with different network card models and/or different network card forms on the same chip according to different upgrading version requirements, it can also be determined whether the same upgrading version requirements of the same chip exist in the network card to be upgraded according to the configuration information, if the same upgrading version requirements of the same chip exist in the network card to be upgraded, the network card to be upgraded with the same upgrading version requirements is obtained, and the network card to be upgraded is upgraded according to the version requirements to be upgraded, that is, the network cards with the same upgrading version requirements are upgraded simultaneously in batch.

In practical application, the upgrading operation performed on the network card to be upgraded is mainly realized by installing an installation package corresponding to the upgrading version requirement of the network card. For example, the same manufacturer network card can upgrade different chips to the same FW, i.e. the FW package is realized by using the same package for multiple network cards.

In addition, after the on-site network card of the server is upgraded, the server can be restarted and the network card FW can be detected to judge whether the upgrade is successful or not, and prompt information can be generated to prompt manual upgrade if the upgrade is failed.

Referring to fig. 3, a flowchart illustrating steps of another embodiment of a method for upgrading a server network card according to the present application is shown, which may specifically include the following steps:

301, acquiring a network card identifier of the network card to be upgraded in a server based on the network card information of the network card to be upgraded, and generating configuration information for the network card to be upgraded according to the network card identifier;

In a specific implementation, the network card model, the current network card version, and the network card position of the network card to be upgraded may be queried according to the network card identifier of the network card to be upgraded at the server, and then the configuration information for the network card to be upgraded may be generated based on the queried network card model, current network card version, network card position of the network card to be upgraded at the server, and the upgrade version requirement of the network card to be upgraded.

Step 302, judging whether the same chip in the network card to be upgraded has the requirement of reserving the original version or not according to the configuration information, and if the same chip in the network card to be upgraded has the requirement of reserving the original version, acquiring the network card position for reserving the original version requirement from the in-place network card of the server;

In an embodiment of the present application, when performing an upgrade operation on an in-place network card, there is a case where the upgrade operation of one in-place network card is performed on the in-place network card without opening a chassis and plugging in or unplugging the network card, and the upgrade operation of another in-place network card is not performed. For example, when upgrading network cards with different network card forms and/or different network card types, such as a PCIE network card and an OCP network card, of the same chip, only the PCIE network card needs to be upgraded at present, and the OCP network card does not need to be upgraded, that is, the upgraded version of the OCP network card needs to be the version that is reserved.

Step 303, performing power-off operation on the in-place network card corresponding to the network card position where the original version requirement is reserved, and performing upgrading operation on other in-place network cards except the network card position where the original version requirement is reserved based on the version requirement to be upgraded.

When judging whether the same chip in the network card to be upgraded has the requirement of keeping the original version according to the configuration information, if the same chip in the network card to be upgraded has the requirement of keeping the original version, the network card position where the original version is kept can be obtained in the in-place network card of the server, so that the network card position where the network card to be upgraded does not need to be carried out can be independently upgraded.

Specifically, the in-place network card corresponding to the network card position retaining the original version requirement may be powered off, and the other in-place network cards except the network card position retaining the original version requirement may be upgraded based on the version requirement to be upgraded. The network card position of the on-site network card is mainly determined according to the PCIE topology and the silk-screen printing on the case, and the only position of the network card in the server can be determined when the network card is inserted into the server.

For example, assuming that when upgrading network cards with different network card forms and/or different network card types, such as a PCIE network card and an OCP network card, on the same chip, only the PCIE network card needs to be upgraded at present, but not the OCP network card needs to be upgraded, when upgrading FW of the server network card, based on the provided configuration information, which is usually expressed as a network card model, a network card position, and an upgrade version requirement that needs to be upgraded, before upgrading FW of the network card, a hot plug power-off operation is performed on the OCP network card that does not need to be upgraded, and at this time, the OCP network card that is powered off is not in place, so that FW upgrade can be performed on the PCIE network card, and when a chassis is not opened and the network cards are not plugged, an upgrade operation of one in-place network card is performed on the in-place network card, and an upgrade operation of another in-place network card is not performed.

In a preferred embodiment, when the in-place network cards with different network card models and/or different network card forms on the same chip are upgraded, whether the same upgrading version requirement of the same chip exists in the network card to be upgraded can be judged according to the configuration information, if the same upgrading version requirement of the same chip exists in the network card to be upgraded, the network card to be upgraded with the same upgrading version requirement is obtained, the network card to be upgraded is upgraded according to the version requirement to be upgraded, and therefore simultaneous batch upgrading of the network cards with the same upgrading version requirement is achieved.

In practical application, the upgrading operation performed on the network card to be upgraded is mainly realized by installing an installation package corresponding to the upgrading version requirement of the network card. For example, the upgrading of network cards of the same manufacturer can be realized by upgrading different chips into the same FW, namely, the FW package is realized by using the same package for a plurality of network cards.

Referring to fig. 4, an application flow diagram of the method for upgrading a server network card provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown, specifically, when at least two in-place network cards of different network card models and/or different network card forms of the same chip exist on a server, the in-place network card on the server may be subjected to a hot plug-and-unplug design, the network card required to be upgraded currently is kept in place by powering off the in-place network card not currently being upgraded, and the network card FW upgrade is performed on the network card/batch of network cards individually, so that a need of upgrading the same chip of the server to different network cards FW is met in a manner of not opening a chassis and not plugging in/out the network cards, and the method is suitable for batch production of the network cards with the same chip to different network cards on a production line, and can meet the need of upgrading various FW by a client.

In this application scenario, the step of upgrading the network card may include:

step 1: before carrying out the operation of upgrading the FW of the network card, loading the configuration files of the FW of the network card in advance so as to sequentially determine the network card upgrading sequence of the network card required to be upgraded through the configuration files, so as to conveniently issue a hotspot command to the network card meeting the requirements in the follow-up process, ensure that only one or a batch of network cards are upgraded, and after the network card is successfully upgraded, upgrading other network cards according to the process. After the network cards are upgraded, an upgrade identifier may be added to one or a batch of network cards after the upgrade operation is performed, so as to indicate that the network cards have performed the upgrade operation.

And 2, step: in the process of upgrading the network card, the server may provide a configuration file according to the FW upgrade requirement of the network card, specifically, may query the BDF of the network card in place to determine the information such as the location of the network card, the current FW version, and the like based on the network card identifier, where the provided configuration file includes the information such as the model of the network card, the location of the network card of the server, and the upgrade version requirement to be upgraded.

Illustratively, the network card FW profile may be represented as:

and step 3: the server can judge whether the network card required to be upgraded belongs to the requirements of different upgrading versions of the same chip or not according to the information provided by the configuration file, if the network card required to be upgraded belongs to the requirements of different upgrading versions of the same chip, the current on-site network card which does not need to be upgraded is powered off based on a hot plug command, and an active lamp of the on-site network card which is powered off can usually appear to flash first and then be turned off; if the upgrading of the FW network cards does not have the same chip with different network card FW requirements and the upgrading is the same network card FW upgrading, all the network card FWs with the same upgrading version requirements can be prepared at the moment, the network card FWs on the server are upgraded simultaneously, the server is restarted and the network card FWs are detected to judge whether the upgrading is successful or not, and if the upgrading is failed, prompt information can be generated to prompt the manual upgrading.

Exemplarily, assuming that a PCIE network card is powered off, a network card hot plug command may specify a BDF of the PCIE network card, a power-on or power-off command, and send a control command to the PCIE controller, so that the power-on and power-off of the PCIE network card by the PCIE controller control connection or disconnection of PCIE signals on the PCIE network card, and control a display state of a PCIE network card indicator light, and an active light specifically represented as an in-place network card that is powered off may generally be first flashed and then extinguished.

And 4, step 4: when the FW network card needing to be upgraded belongs to FW requirements of different network cards of the same chip, the first or initial upgrading network card needing to be upgraded and the upgrading version needing to be upgraded can be determined according to the upgrading sequence, before the network card FW upgrading command is executed, other on-site network cards except the first upgrading network card needing to be upgraded can be powered off based on sending a hot plug command, only one or a batch of network card active lamps on a server are bright at the moment, and the active lamps of the on-site network card which is executed to be powered off can usually show that the lamps flicker first and then are turned off; and executing a network card FW upgrading command on the current in-place network card to show that an installation package corresponding to the upgrading version requirement of the network card is installed, and specifically, the installation package can be copied under a server to realize the upgrading.

Illustratively, an installation package may be obtained, such as nvmeprogrde _216.1.192.5_216.1.270.18.Tar; then decompressing an installation package tar-xvfnvmUpdide _216.1.192.5_216.1.270.18.Tar; and execute/install network card FW after entering nvmptrade _ 216.1.192.5/216.1.270.18.

And 5: and after the network card is installed, restarting the server to check the network card FW, and checking that the version of the network card FW is successfully upgraded by using ethnool-i eth0 (internet access name).

Step 6: after restarting the server, the in-place network card of the previously executed hot plug command fails, that is, all network cards are in place, at this time, the network cards and the network cards FW can be checked, the network cards FW are compared with the configuration file, whether the network cards are successfully upgraded is judged, if the network card upgrading is finished, the script is stopped, if the network card upgrading is successful, whether FW requirements of the network cards different from the chip are needed to be judged, if yes, the FW upgrading is continuously carried out on the second network card, the other network cards except the second network card execute the hot plug command FW to power off the hot plug command FW, then the steps 4 and 5 are repeated to complete the second network card upgrading, and so on; if the network card FW requirements of the same chip and different network cards are not needed, all the network cards FW can be prepared according to the normal network card upgrading requirements, the network cards FW on the server are upgraded at the same time, and the server is restarted to check the network cards and the network cards FW.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, a configuration file may be formed for other components, such as a hard disk FW, a backplane CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device), an HCA (refer to a meldonox connectictx IB InfiniBand host channel adapter) card FW, and the FW can be automatically updated for a plurality of components on a server at one time or sequentially through the configuration file, so as to improve the testing efficiency under the condition of avoiding plugging and unplugging a network card.

In the embodiment of the application, when at least two in-place network cards with the same chip and different network card models and/or different network card forms exist on the server, the in-place network card on the server can be subjected to hot plug-based design, the network card required to be upgraded currently is kept in place by keeping the in-place network card which is not upgraded currently in a power-off mode, and the network card/batch of network cards are subjected to FW upgrade independently, so that the requirement of upgrading the same chip of the server into different network cards FW is met in a mode of not opening a case and not plugging and unplugging the network cards, the FW upgrading method is suitable for the requirement of producing the same chip of the server into different network cards FW in batch on a production line, and the requirement of a client on upgrading various network cards FW can be met; and establishing a network card FW configuration file for the network card, and performing automatic upgrading operation based on the configuration information to realize simultaneous network card FW upgrading for the network cards of multiple servers, so that sequential upgrading of the network cards one by one is avoided, batch maintenance of network card upgrading is facilitated, the network card FW upgrading efficiency is improved, and the workload of production line workers for disassembling and assembling machines and network cards to realize FW upgrading of different network cards on the same chip is greatly saved. Furthermore, for the client, the maintenance operation of the boot box cover is avoided, the requirement that different network card FW upgrades of the network cards of the same chip on the same server are realized based on the command operation according to the configuration information is met, and the maintainability of the server is improved.
