Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of automatic programming, in particular to a method for automatically deploying a BIOS (basic input output System) of a bare metal server.
Background
Bare metal server essentially refers to the basic computer hard disk without operating system or software-just the physical server hardware itself, unlike traditional dedicated servers, which are more or less a whiteboard, this setup has the advantage that it can be completely customized, whereas traditional dedicated servers (already built in operating system and software) cannot, so users can get exactly what they need from the server without paying for extra functionality they do not use, bare metal servers are primarily used by users to distinguish which types of applications are best suited for hosted solutions, server BIOS is a system setup program through which system hardware can be managed and options to specify BIOS level include: change NVRAM settings after adding or removing hardware, view system hardware configuration, enable or disable power management thresholds, and manage system security.
At present, the server BIOS deployment is usually processed by the following two technologies, that is, an Agent is installed in an operating system, and then an operating system BIOS update tool developed by each server manufacturer is called through the Agent, and the BIOS is updated and deployed from an operating system interface, and the BIOS is deployed by installing an IPMI driver through protocol setting and synchronous BIOS configuration of IPMI.
But the following problems exist for the prior art:
1. the technology uses Agent programs and BIOS deployment in an operating system, occupies operating system resources and influences normal operation of services; a plurality of manufacturers install a plurality of BIOS updating tools in respective server equipment, so that the Agent program is more and more huge and is complicated to maintain; the problem that multiple batches of deployment cannot be realized and the like;
2. the single protocol cannot complete the BIOS configuration item, and the BIOS can be communicated with the server management module only through IPMI driving; some server devices which do not support the IPMI protocol cannot obtain the relevant BIOS information; IPMI is only a single protocol and cannot realize BIOS deployment and the like on a plurality of servers in batch.
