In order that the above-recited objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to the appended drawings and appended detailed description.
Because the coupling degree between the BMC and the NVMe equipment of the server is high, the system operation efficiency can be reduced to a certain extent, and when the NVMe equipment is updated, the BMC also needs to be correspondingly updated, so that the system stability is affected. Therefore, one of the core concepts of the embodiments of the present invention is to develop a transparent command word for upgrading, and open a link between the upper computer software and the NVMe device, so that the upper computer can upgrade the NVMe device connected to the BMC by using the transparent command word, so that after the NVMe device is upgraded, the BMC does not need to be adaptively upgraded, thereby shortening the development period and improving the stability of the server.
Referring to fig. 1, a step flow chart of an apparatus upgrade method provided by an embodiment of the present invention is applied to a server, where the server includes a nonvolatile storage fast channel NVMe apparatus, an NVMe controller, a baseboard management controller BMC, and the server communicates with an upper computer, and the method specifically includes the following steps:
When the NVMe device needs to be upgraded, a first transparent command message can be generated through the upper computer, and the first transparent command message can be a message based on an IPMI protocol. The first transparent command message may include a drive type of the NVMe controller, an identifier of the NVMe controller, a transparent command word, and a target upgrade data packet. The target upgrading data packet is a part or all of upgrading data packets corresponding to the NVMe equipment; the transparent command word is a command word designed based on the IPMI protocol, and is used for indicating the BMC to analyze the first transparent command message when receiving the first transparent command message, and stopping continuously analyzing when the transparent command word is analyzed, namely not analyzing the load-target upgrading data packet after the transparent command word.
After the upper computer generates the first transparent command message, the upper computer sends the first transparent command message to the BMC which is located in the same server as the NVMe equipment needing to be updated. And sending a first transparent command message to the BMC according to the IP address of the BMC.
The BMC receives the first transparent command message and analyzes the first transparent command message to obtain the driving type of the NVMe controller and the identifier of the NVMe controller, and when the BMC analyzes the transparent command word, the BMC stops analyzing the content after the transparent command word, namely, the BMC stops analyzing the target upgrading data packet after the transparent command word.
And 102, analyzing the first transparent command message through the BMC, and packaging the first transparent command message according to the driving type of the NVMe controller to obtain a second transparent command message.
After the BMC receives the first transparent command message, the first transparent command message is analyzed, and the driving type of the NVMe controller can be obtained. The BMC can package the first transparent command message according to the driving type of the NVMe controller, package the first transparent command message into a driving format corresponding to the driving type of the NVMe controller, and obtain a second transparent command message.
And step 103, sending a second transparent command message to the NVMe controller through the BMC according to the identifier of the NVMe controller.
After the BMC receives the first transparent command message, the BMC analyzes the first transparent command message, and can obtain the identifier of the NVMe controller. The BMC may send the second transparent command message to the corresponding NVMe controller according to the identifier of the NVMe controller.
And the NVMe controller receives the second transparent command message, and analyzes the second transparent command message to obtain a transparent command word and a target upgrading data packet. And the NVMe controller sends the target upgrading data packet to the NVMe equipment and triggers the NVMe equipment to upgrade.
In the embodiment of the invention, a first transparent command message sent by an upper computer is received through a BMC, wherein the first transparent command message comprises: the driving type of the NVMe controller, the identification of the NVMe controller, the transparent transmission command word and the target upgrading data packet; the transparent command word is used for indicating the BMC not to analyze the target upgrading data packet; analyzing the first transparent command message through the BMC, and packaging the first transparent command message according to the driving type of the NVMe controller to obtain a second transparent command message; sending a second transparent command message to the NVMe controller by the BMC according to the identifier of the NVMe controller; and sending the target upgrading data packet to the NVMe equipment through the NVMe controller, and triggering the NVMe equipment to upgrade. The method can reduce the coupling degree of the BMC and the NVMe equipment and improve the operation efficiency of the server system. And after the NVMe equipment is upgraded, the BMC is not required to be adaptively developed and upgraded, and only the upgrade program of the upper computer is required to be correspondingly updated, so that the development period can be shortened, and meanwhile, the stability and the reliability of the server can be ensured by reducing the upgrade of the BMC.

The transparent command word is used for indicating the NVMe controller to upgrade the NVMe equipment, so that when the NVMe controller analyzes the transparent command word, the target upgrade data packet is sent to the NVMe equipment, and when the target upgrade data packet is sent, the NVMe controller triggers the NVMe equipment to upgrade.
In the embodiment of the invention, after the BMC analyzes the transparent command word, the analysis of the target upgrading data packet after the transparent command word is stopped, and after the NVMe controller analyzes the transparent command word, the target upgrading data is sent to the NVMe equipment, and the NVMe equipment is triggered to be upgraded. By transmitting the command word, the part of management functions of the BMC on the NVMe equipment can be decoupled, and the NVMe equipment can be updated. Through the data transmission function, all data packets in the message generated based on the transmission command word can be transmitted to the NVMe controller through the BMC, so that direct data interaction between the upper computer software and the NVMe device is realized.

The upgrade command may be an IPMI protocol-based command, and the upgrade command may be a command not otherwise designed, but an existing one based on the IPMI protocol.
In the embodiment of the invention, the BMC is only indicated by the transparent command word not to analyze the target upgrading data packet, so that the design of the transparent command word can be simplified, and the use of the transparent command word can be enriched.

According to the number of the sub-upgrade data packets, a corresponding number of first transparent command messages can be generated.

The upper computer can judge whether the check result in the first response message meets the preset condition, wherein the preset condition can be that the combination sequence of the sub-upgrading data packets is correct and the upgrading data packets are complete; if the check result in the first response message meets the preset condition, an upgrade starting command can be sent. The upgrade initiation command is sent to the NVMe controller via the BMC. The NVMe controller receives and responds to the upgrade start command to trigger the NVMe device upgrade.
In one embodiment, the first transparent command message further includes: the total number of sub-upgrade data packets, the current number of the sub-upgrade data packets and the verification code of the sub-upgrade data packets are combined through an NVMe controller to obtain an upgrade data packet, and the upgrade data packet is verified, and the method comprises the following steps:
