Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to the field of server technologies, and in particular, to a component parameter configuration method, a server, and a terminal device.

Background

The basic input output system (Basic Input Output System, BIOS) is a set of programs that solidify in the server, and the main functions of the BIOS may include initializing settings to hardware devices in the server, detecting, and booting the operating system. When the server is started, the user can modify BIOS parameters according to actual service requirements, so that the running condition of the server is more in line with the service requirements.

The server may be connected to the display and the input device (e.g., a mouse, a keyboard, etc.), in which case, after the server is powered on, a prompt may be output on the display to prompt for entering the BIOS, and after the user operates according to the prompt (e.g., clicks a Delete keyboard button), a configuration menu of the BIOS parameters may be output on the display, so that the user may adjust the BIOS parameters using the input device to adjust the configuration menu displayed on the display.

Or, the serial port of the server is connected with a personal computer (Personal Computer, PC) through a serial port cable, a serial port tool can be installed in the PC, and the content output by the serial port can be analyzed and displayed in the serial port tool, so that a user can more intuitively check the serial port output. In this case, after the server is powered on, a prompt can be output through the serial port to prompt to enter the BIOS, the prompt is parsed into the serial port tool to be displayed, and after the user operates according to the prompt, the serial port can output a configuration menu of the BIOS parameters, so that the user can adjust the configuration menu displayed on the serial port tool by using the input device of the PC to adjust the BIOS parameters.

The following describes a component parameter configuration method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flow chart of a component parameter configuration method provided in an embodiment of the present application, where the method may be performed by a terminal device and a server shown in fig. 1, where the server includes a first component, and a communication connection is provided between the server and the terminal device. Wherein the first component may include, but is not limited to: BIOS chip, CPU, memory, hard disk, display card, RAID card, etc. The method may include, but is not limited to, the steps of:

s201: the terminal device sends a parameter configuration request for the first component to the server, the terminal device and the server being connected to the same local area network. Correspondingly, the server receives the parameter configuration request.

Wherein the terminal device and the server have a communication connection, e.g. the terminal device and the server are connected to the same local area network. Specifically, the server may further include a BMC, where the BMC of the server and the terminal device are connected to the same local area network, and the first component may be a component managed by the BMC. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the sending of information from the terminal device to the server may refer to the sending of information from the terminal device to the BMC. For example, the parameter configuration request may be sent by the terminal device to the BMC, and the BMC receives the parameter configuration request accordingly.

In one implementation, the terminal device may send a parameter configuration request for the first component to a server (such as a BMC of the server) by scanning a two-dimensional code on the server, where the two-dimensional code is used to identify component parameters configuring the first component. The two-dimensional code can be marked or pasted on the surface of the server, for example, the two-dimensional code is planned at the eye-catching position of the whole server. Alternatively, when a display is connected to the server, the two-dimensional code may be displayed on the display of the server.

In another implementation, the terminal device may input a web address on the server, and send a parameter configuration request for the first component to the server (e.g., the BMC of the server), where the web address is used to identify the component parameters configuring the first component. The website may be marked or adhered to the surface of the server, for example, the website is marked at a striking position of the whole server. Alternatively, in the case where the server is connected to a display, the web address may be displayed in the display of the server. It should be noted that, besides the encoding modes such as the website and the two-dimensional code, the component parameters configuring the first component may be identified by other modes, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

The parameter configuration process for the first component can be triggered quickly by sending the parameter configuration request for the first component to the server by scanning the two-dimensional code or inputting the website and the like, the implementation complexity is low, and the capability requirement on operators is low.

The server may include a plurality of components therein, which may include, but are not limited to: the first component may be any of the plurality of components, such as a BIOS chip, CPU, memory, hard disk, video card, RAID card.

Optionally, each component in the server may correspond to a respective two-dimensional code or a website, and the server includes a first component and a second component, where the server includes a two-dimensional code 1 corresponding to the first component and a two-dimensional code 2 corresponding to the second component, that is, the two-dimensional code 1 is used to identify a component parameter configuring the first component, and the two-dimensional code 2 is used to identify a component parameter configuring the second component. It can be understood that the terminal device may send a parameter configuration request for the first component to the BMC by scanning the two-dimensional code 1, and the terminal device may send a parameter configuration request for the second component to the BMC by scanning the two-dimensional code 2.

Under the condition that the terminal equipment detects the two-dimensional code corresponding to the first component, responding to the scanning operation, generating a parameter configuration request aiming at the first component, and sending the parameter configuration request to a server (such as a BMC of the server). Or, if the terminal device detects that the website corresponding to the first component is input, the terminal device may generate a parameter configuration request for the first component in response to the input operation, and send the parameter configuration request to a server (such as a BMC of the server).

The parameter configuration request for the first component may be for requesting configuration or modification of a component parameter of the first component, and the number of component parameters of the first component may be one or more. Taking the first component as a BIOS as an example, the parameter configuration request for the first component may be a BIOS parameter configuration request, where the BIOS parameter configuration request is used to request to configure a BIOS parameter.

In one implementation, after the terminal device scans the two-dimensional code on the server or inputs the website on the server, an input interface of the BMC address is displayed; and the terminal equipment inputs the address of the BMC in the input interface, and sends a parameter configuration request for the first component to the BMC based on the BMC address input in the input interface. The input interface for the BMC address is shown in FIG. 3. The BMC address may be input by default by the terminal device, or may be input by a user by operating the terminal device. After the terminal device obtains the BMC address from the input interface, a parameter configuration request for the first component may be sent to the BMC based on the BMC address. The BMC address may be a media access control (Media Access Control, MAC) address, an internet protocol (Internet Protocol, IP) address, or other addresses of the BMC, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. The BMC address may refer to an address of a management port of the BMC, that is, having a communication connection between the terminal device and the BMC may indicate that there is a communication connection between the terminal device and the management port of the BMC.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 3, the input interface of the BMC address displayed in the terminal device may include a connection button, where triggering the connection button may trigger establishment of a communication connection between the terminal device and the BMC. And the terminal equipment can send a parameter configuration request for the first component to the BMC based on the BMC address input in the input interface under the condition that the terminal equipment detects the triggering operation of the connection button displayed in the input interface. Triggering operations in embodiments of the present application may include, but are not limited to: clicking, double clicking or other operations, to which embodiments of the present application are not limited. Alternatively, the terminal device may display a connection button in the input interface after detecting that the BMC address is input. Alternatively, the connection button is always displayed in the input interface.

In one implementation, after the terminal device scans the two-dimensional code on the server or inputs the website on the server, a factory information acquisition request is sent to the factory data center, where the factory information acquisition request is used for requesting to acquire the factory information of the server associated with the scanned two-dimensional code, or the factory information acquisition request is used for requesting to acquire the factory information of the server associated with the input website. Correspondingly, after receiving the factory information acquisition request, the factory data center can respond to the factory information acquisition request to send the factory information of the server associated with the two-dimensional code or send the factory information of the server associated with the website to the terminal equipment, wherein the factory information comprises a BMC address. The terminal equipment receives factory information of a server associated with the two-dimensional code or the website, and sends a parameter configuration request for the first component to the BMC based on the address of the BMC.

The two-dimensional code is bound with the factory information of the server, so that the factory information of the server can be obtained from a factory data center by scanning the two-dimensional code. Or the website is bound with the factory information of the server, so that the factory information of the server can be obtained from the factory data center by inputting the website. The factory information includes the address of the BMC configured by the server in factory, and the address can be the address of the management port of the BMC.

By automatically acquiring the BMC address from the manufacturer data center, terminal equipment or a user does not need to acquire the BMC address in advance, and the user does not need to manually input the BMC address, so that convenience in acquiring the BMC address can be improved.

S202: the server responds to the parameter configuration request and sends parameter configuration data of the first component to the terminal equipment, wherein the parameter configuration data is used for displaying a parameter configuration interface of the first component by the terminal equipment. Correspondingly, the terminal equipment receives the parameter configuration data.

The parameter configuration data may comprise one or more parameter items of the first component, which may represent parameter names. The terminal device may display a parameter configuration interface based on the parameter configuration data, where the parameter configuration interface may include the one or more parameter items, and each parameter item in the parameter configuration interface may correspond to a respective parameter value input box, and each parameter value input box corresponding to each parameter item may include a parameter value default to the parameter item configuration. Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a parameter configuration interface of the first component, and in fig. 4, the parameter configuration interface of the first component includes 3 parameter items, where the 3 parameter items are respectively parameter 1, parameter 2, and parameter 3. The parameter 1, the parameter 2 and the parameter 3 are respectively corresponding to the parameter value input boxes. Fig. 4 is an example in which the parameter values of the default positions of parameter 1, parameter 2, and parameter 3 are the default parameter value a, the default parameter value b, and the default parameter value c, respectively.

S203: and the terminal equipment displays a parameter configuration interface of the first component based on the parameter configuration data and modifies the parameter configuration information displayed in the parameter configuration interface to obtain parameter modification information of the first component.

The terminal device may display a parameter configuration interface of the first component based on the parameter configuration data through the running browser.

The parameter configuration information displayed in the parameter configuration interface may include at least one parameter item and a default parameter value corresponding to the parameter item.

The terminal device may modify the parameter values corresponding to all or part of the parameter items displayed in the parameter configuration interface, that is, the terminal device may modify the parameter values to default parameter values for parameter item configuration. For example, the terminal device may modify the default parameter value a in fig. 4 to the parameter value d. In this way, the terminal device can quickly modify the component parameters of the first component.

The parameter modification information of the first component may indicate the modified parameter value and the parameter item to which the modified parameter value corresponds. Alternatively, the parameter modification information of the first component may indicate information displayed in the modified parameter configuration interface.

Alternatively, the parameter value input box of the parameter item may be a selection box in which the user may select a parameter value for the parameter item.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 4, the parameter configuration interface may include a save button, and the terminal device detects a trigger operation for the save button, and may use information modified in the parameter configuration interface as parameter modification information of the first component in response to the trigger operation, or may use information displayed in the parameter configuration interface as parameter modification information of the first component in response to the trigger operation.

For the user, after the component parameters of the first component are modified in the parameter configuration interface, a save button in the parameter configuration interface may be clicked, so as to trigger the terminal device to generate the parameter modification information of the first component, and send the parameter modification information.

S204: the terminal device sends parameter modification information of the first component to the server. Accordingly, the server receives the parameter modification information of the first component.

Specifically, the terminal device may send parameter modification information of the first component to the BMC of the server. Accordingly, the BMC receives the parameter modification information of the first component.

Optionally, the format of the parameter modification information of the first component may be a configuration file, or the parameter modification information of the first component may be a configuration file based on natural language description, and names of parameter items and parameter values in the configuration file are intuitive, so that a person of ordinary skill can easily understand meanings of the parameter items and the parameter values, which is beneficial to improving efficiency of modifying parameters of the component, and capability requirements of the person can be reduced. Taking the first component as an example of BIOS, the parameter modification information of the first component may be BIOS config.

Alternatively, the parameter modification information of the first component may be a redfish interface format file. The Redfish interface format file is a file generated in accordance with the Redfish protocol, and the meaning of the field in the Redfish interface format file can be known by referring to the Redfish protocol.

It will be appreciated that, after the server (e.g., the BMC of the server) receives the parameter modification information of the first component, the parameter modification information may be parsed according to the format of the parameter modification information. For example, the format of the parameter modification information of the first component received by the BMC is a Redfish interface format file, and the BMC may parse according to the Redfish interface file format.

S205: the server instructs the first component to modify its own parameters based on the parameter modification information.

After receiving the parameter modification information of the first component, the server may instruct the first component to modify its own parameter based on the parameter modification information. For example, the component parameters of the first component include at least parameter 1, parameter 2, and parameter 3, and the parameter modification information of the first component indicates that the parameter value of parameter 3 of the first component is parameter value d. The first component may modify the parameter value of parameter 3 from a default parameter value to a parameter value d based on the parameter modification information.

In one implementation, the BMC of the server instructs the first component to modify its own parameter based on the parameter modification information, for example, the BMC sends, to the first component, instruction information a, where the instruction information a is used to instruct the first component to modify its own parameter based on the parameter modification information, and correspondingly, after the first component receives the instruction information a, the first component modifies its own parameter based on the parameter modification information, where the instruction information a may carry the parameter modification information.

In the embodiment of the application, the server obtains the parameter modification information by sending the parameter configuration data to the terminal equipment, and further, the terminal equipment modifies the parameter configuration information displayed in the parameter configuration interface, and then the server instructs the first component to modify the parameter based on the parameter modification information.

In this way, on the one hand, components such as a display, a keyboard, a PC, a serial port cable and the like do not need to be deployed for the server, and parameters of the first component can be modified, so that the deployment cost of the server can be reduced, for example, the component parameters of the first component can be modified according to actual service requirements, and therefore the running condition of the first component is more in line with the service requirements. If the server is required to be deployed with a display, a keyboard, a PC, a serial port cable and other dependent components to modify the parameters of the first component, firstly, the preparation of the components can bring about cost rise and site occupation, and secondly, part of the server can involve the need of replacing the components to modify the parameters of the first component, and the replacement of the components can also bring about labor cost rise and maintenance inconvenience.

In the second aspect, the terminal device displays the parameter configuration interface through the browser, so that the user can obtain parameter modification information by modifying the parameter configuration information displayed in the parameter configuration interface, the complexity of implementing the process is low, and the capability requirement on operators is low. For example, the manner adopted in the embodiment of the present application is simpler than the following manner 1 and manner 2. Mode 1: a Web management interface of the BMC of the PC connection server is used for entering a virtual keyboard, video or mouse (Keyboard Video Mouse, KVM) interface realized by the BMC, entering BIOS by using keyboard keys (such as Delete keyboard keys) according to the KVM interface prompt, and adjusting BIOS parameters by using a keyboard in the KVM interface to adjust a menu displayed on a PC display. Mode 2: and using Postman on the PC or a tool supporting a Redfish interface to issue configuration to the BMC, issuing the configuration to the BIOS by the BMC, and acquiring the configuration and adjusting BIOS parameters after the BIOS is restarted. Postman is a test tool for sending hypertext transfer protocol (Hypertext Transfer Protocol, HTTP) requests, redfish is a management standard based on HTTPs (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) services, HTTPs is a security-targeted HTTP channel. As can be seen, mode 1 and mode 2 have high requirements on the operating system environment in the PC and the capability of the operator, for example, the operator needs to be skilled in mastering the use of the Postman tool on the PC, and the operator needs to be also mastering the technique of entering the KVM interface.

In the third aspect, the user uses the terminal device to scan the parameter configuration interface of the first component provided by the BMC and connect to the two-dimensional code of the parameter of the first component, or uses the terminal device to input the website of the parameter of the first component provided by the BMC and connect to the parameter configuration interface of the first component provided by the BMC, so that the parameter configuration process for the first component can be triggered quickly, the implementation complexity is low, and the capability requirement on operators is low.

Optionally, after S204, that is, after the server (e.g., BMC of the server) receives the parameter modification information of the first component, S204a, S204b, S204c may be performed, that is, S204a, S204b, S204c are optional steps, and S204a, S204b, S204c may not be performed. The steps shown in dashed lines in fig. 2 are optional steps.

S204a: the server stores parameter modification information of the first component.

The server (such as the BMC of the server) may store the received parameter modification information of the first component in the first memory, where the first memory may be a memory inside the BMC, or may be a memory inside the server but outside the BMC, where the BMC has a right to access the first memory, that is, the BMC may write information in the first memory, or may read information from the first memory.

The first memory may be a non-volatile memory (NVM), a random access memory (Random Access Memory, RAM), a persistent storage medium, or other memory, and the type of the first memory is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

S204b: the server controls the first component to restart.

Specifically, the BMC of the server may control the first component to restart. For example, after the BMC successfully stores the parameter modification information of the first component, the BMC may control the first component to restart. Taking the first component as a BIOS, taking parameter modification information of the first component as BIOS parameter modification information as an example, after the BMC stores the BIOS parameter modification information, the BMC can control the BIOS to restart.

S204c: after the first component is restarted, parameter modification information of the first component is obtained from the server.

The first component obtains the parameter modification information, and may modify its own parameter based on the parameter modification information.

In one implementation, a specific implementation of S204c may be: after the first component is restarted, the parameter modification information of the first component is read or downloaded from the first memory. Taking the first component as a BIOS, taking the first memory as a memory inside the BMC as an example, after the BIOS is restarted, the BIOS parameter modification information can be read from the BMC.

In another implementation, the specific implementation of S204c may be: s1, after the first component is restarted, generating a query request, where the query request is used to query whether the BMC stores parameter modification information of the first component. s2, if the BMC stores the parameter modification information of the first component, the BMC provides the parameter modification information of the first component to the first component. Correspondingly, the first component reads the parameter modification information of the first component from the BMC.

Alternatively, the BMC does not store the parameter modification information of the first component, and may send the indication information b to the first component, where the indication information b may indicate that the BMC does not store the parameter modification information of the first component. Alternatively, the BMC does not store the parameter modification information of the first component and may not send a message to the first component.

Optionally, the parameter modification information of the first component may be carried in indication information a sent by the BMC to the first component, where the indication information a is used to instruct the first component to modify its parameter based on the parameter modification information. In this case, S205 and S2 are combined into one step: if the BMC stores the parameter modification information of the first component, the BMC sends indication information a to the first component, wherein the indication information a carries the parameter modification information of the first component.

Next, taking the first component as the BIOS as an example, a modification procedure of the BIOS parameter will be described. As shown in fig. 5, the modification procedure of the BIOS parameters may include, but is not limited to, the following steps:

s501: the BIOS is started.

The BIOS start may be to start the BIOS after the server is powered on for the first time, or may be to start the BIOS after the server is not powered on for the first time, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

S502: the BIOS sends a query request for querying whether the BMC stores BIOS parameter modification information. Accordingly, the BMC receives the query request.

It should be noted that, the execution process of S502 may be described in detail in S204c in the corresponding embodiment of fig. 2, which is not described herein. The BIOS in S502 corresponds to the first component in S204c, and the BIOS parameter modification information in S502 corresponds to the parameter modification information of the first component in S204 c.

S503: the BMC inquires whether BIOS parameter modification information is stored or not, and an inquiry result is obtained.

After receiving the query request, the BMC can query whether the BIOS parameter modification information is stored in the first memory, and a query result is obtained.

The query result is used for indicating whether the BMC stores BIOS parameter modification information.

If the query result indicates that the BMC stores the BIOS parameter modification information, the BIOS may execute S504.

If the query result indicates that the BMC does not store the BIOS parameter modification information, the BMC may execute S506. That is, the process of modifying the BIOS parameters may be skipped, and an Operating System (OS) boot may be directly conducted.

S504: the query result indicates that the BMC stores BIOS parameter modification information, and the BMC provides the BIOS with the BIOS parameter modification information. Correspondingly, the BIOS acquires BIOS parameter modification information.

S505: the BIOS modifies its own parameters based on the BIOS parameter modification information.

It should be noted that, the execution process of S504-S505 may refer to the specific descriptions in S204c and S205 in the corresponding embodiment of fig. 2, and will not be repeated here.

S506: the query result indicates that the BMC does not store the BIOS parameter modification information, and the BIOS guides the operating system to start.

After the BIOS parameters are determined, the BIOS may boot the operating system to boot. The determined BIOS parameters may include default parameters when leaving the factory, that is, the BIOS starts unmodified BIOS parameters at this time. Alternatively, the determined BIOS parameters may include parameters modified by the last BIOS start-up, that is, the BIOS does not require modification of the BIOS parameters at this start-up. Alternatively, the determined BIOS parameters may include BIOS parameters modified by the BIOS at this time of boot.

The determined BIOS parameters may include a plurality of parameters, and the BIOS may boot the operating system based on a portion of the plurality of parameters, that is, the determined portion of the BIOS parameters may be associated with booting the operating system. For example, parameter 1 and parameter 2 of the determined BIOS parameters are related to booting an operating system, where parameter 1 may be used to indicate a boot mode of the operating system, which may include booting from BIOS, from a unified extensible firmware interface (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, UEFI). The parameter 2 may be used to instruct the operating system to boot from a boot device, which may include a hard disk, a USB flash disk, or the like. If the parameter 1 indicates that the start mode of the operating system is the start mode from UEFI and the parameter 2 indicates that the operating system is started from the usb disk, the operating system may be booted from the usb disk based on the start mode of UEFI.

By implementing the embodiment of the application, components such as a display, a keyboard, a PC, a serial port cable and the like are not required to be deployed for the server, BIOS parameters can be adjusted, so that the deployment cost of the server can be reduced, and the BIOS parameters can be modified according to actual service requirements, so that the running condition of the server meets the service requirements more.

Optionally, after the first component modifies its own parameter based on the parameter modification information of the first component (S205), S606-S607 may also be executed, where the execution process of S601-S605 may refer to the specific description in S201-S205 in the corresponding embodiment of fig. 2, which is not repeated here. As shown in fig. 6, another component parameter configuration method provided in an embodiment of the present application may include, but is not limited to, the following steps:

s601: the terminal device sends a parameter configuration request for the first component to the BMC, and the BMC of the terminal device and the server are connected to the same local area network. Correspondingly, the BMC receives the parameter configuration request.

S602: and the BMC responds to the parameter configuration request and sends parameter configuration data of the first component to the terminal equipment, wherein the parameter configuration data is used for displaying a parameter configuration interface of the first component by the terminal equipment. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the parameter configuration data of the first component.

S603: and the terminal equipment displays a parameter configuration interface of the first component based on the parameter configuration data and modifies the parameter configuration information displayed in the parameter configuration interface to obtain parameter modification information of the first component.

S604: and the terminal equipment sends the parameter modification information of the first component to the BMC. Accordingly, the BMC receives the parameter modification information of the first component.

S604a: the BMC stores parameter modification information for the first component, and the BMC stores the flag of the parameter modification information as not validated.

S604b: the BMC controls the first component to restart.

S604c: after the first component is restarted, a query request is sent, and the query request is used for querying whether the BMC stores parameter modification information of the first component which is not validated. Accordingly, the BMC receives the query request.

Parameter modification information for one or more components may be stored in the BMC, which may identify whether each stored parameter modification information is valid. Taking the example that the BMC includes the first component 1 and the first component 2, the validation of the parameter modification information of the first component 1 may indicate that: the BMC has transmitted the parameter modification information of the first component 1 to the first component 1, and the first component 1 has successfully modified its own component parameters based on the parameter modification information. The parameter modification information of the first component 2 not being validated may indicate that: the BMC does not send the parameter modification information of the first component 2 to the first component 2, or the first component 2 does not successfully modify its own component parameter based on the parameter modification information, or the first component 2 does not modify its own component parameter based on the parameter modification information, or it cannot be known whether the first component 1 successfully modifies its own component parameter based on the parameter modification information.

S604d: the BMC provides the first component with parameter modification information for the first component, the parameter modification information not being valid. Correspondingly, the first component acquires parameter modification information of the first component.

If the BMC stores the non-validated parameter modification information for the first component, the BMC may provide the parameter modification information to the first component. Alternatively, if the BMC does not store the parameter modification information of the first component that is not validated, the BMC may send the indication information b to the first component, where the indication information b may indicate that the BMC does not store the parameter modification information of the first component that is not validated.

S605: the BMC instructs the first component to modify its own parameters based on the parameter modification information.

S606: the first component sends first indication information to the BMC, wherein the first indication information is used for indicating that the component parameters of the first component are successfully modified based on the parameter modification information; correspondingly, the BMC receives the first indication information.

Optionally, if the first component fails to modify its own parameter based on the received parameter modification information, the first component may send third indication information c to the BMC, where the third indication information is used to indicate that the component parameter of the first component is not successfully modified based on the parameter modification information. Alternatively, the first component may not send the third indication information to the BMC.

S607: the BMC modifies the flag of the stored parameter modification information of the first component to be validated based on the first indication information.

By marking the parameter modification information of the first component stored by the BMC as validated, the BMC can be prevented from repeatedly sending the parameter modification information to the first component, so that the first component can repeatedly modify the parameter according to the same part of parameter modification information, and the waste of transmission resources can be avoided.

Optionally, after the BMC receives the first indication information, the stored parameter modification information of the first component may be deleted. Therefore, the BMC can be prevented from repeatedly sending the parameter modification information to the first component, and the first component is prevented from repeatedly carrying out parameter modification according to the same parameter modification information, so that transmission resource waste can be avoided.

It may be understood that if the BMC avoids repeating the transmission of the parameter modification information by deleting the validated parameter modification information, the query request in S604c is used to query whether the BMC stores the parameter modification information of the first component, and accordingly, the parameter modification information sent by the BMC to the first component in S604d may not include the identifier of whether the parameter modification information is validated. If the BMC avoids repeating the transmission of the parameter modification information by marking whether the parameter modification information is validated, in S604c, the query request is used to query whether the BMC stores the parameter modification information of the first component that is not validated, and correspondingly, in S604d, the marking of the parameter modification information sent by the BMC to the first component is not validated.

Optionally, the BMC may not receive the first indication information or the BMC may receive the third indication information, and the BMC may keep the flag of the stored parameter modification information of the first component inactive, that is, not modify the flag of the parameter modification information of the first component. Or the BMC does not receive the first indication information or the BMC receives the third indication information, the BMC may continue to store the parameter modification information of the first component, and not delete the parameter modification information.

Optionally, after the BMC performs S607, S608 may also be performed. S608 is an optional step, that is, the BMC may not perform S608.

S608: and the BMC sends fourth indication information to the terminal equipment, wherein the fourth indication information is used for indicating that the component parameters of the first component are successfully modified based on the parameter modification information. Correspondingly, the terminal equipment receives fourth indication information.

The fourth indication information may be determined based on the first indication information.

Optionally, the content indicated by the first indication information and the fourth indication information is the same, that is, the BMC receives the first indication information and may transmit the first indication information to the terminal device.

Optionally, after receiving the fourth indication information, the terminal device may display the fourth indication information. The terminal device receives the fourth indication information and can learn that the component parameters modified in the parameter configuration interface take effect. By displaying the fourth indication information, the user may be made aware that the parameter modification information is validated.

Optionally, the BMC may not receive the first indication information or the BMC may receive the third indication information, and the BMC may send fifth indication information to the terminal device or may not send information to the terminal device, where the fifth indication information may be used to indicate that the component parameters of the first component are not successfully modified based on the parameter modification information of the first component. After receiving the fifth instruction information, the terminal device may display the fifth instruction information. The terminal device receives the fifth indication information and can learn that the component parameters modified in the parameter configuration interface are not effective. By displaying the fifth indication information, the user can perceive that the parameter modification information is not effective, and further, the user can scan the two-dimensional code corresponding to the first component again or input the website corresponding to the first component again, and further, the component parameters of the first component are modified again.

Optionally, after S604a, the BMC may also perform S604a', S604a ". S604a ', S604a "are optional steps, that is, the BMC may not perform S604a', S604a".

S604a': the BMC sends second indication information to the terminal equipment, wherein the second indication information is used for indicating successful reception of parameter modification information of the first component; correspondingly, the terminal equipment receives the second indication information.

Alternatively, the second indication information may be used to indicate that the server (e.g., the BMC of the server) successfully stores the parameter modification information of the first component.

S604": the terminal device detects a trigger operation for an effective button displayed in the parameter configuration interface, and responds to the trigger operation, and an effective instruction for the parameter modification information of the first component is sent. Accordingly, a server (e.g., a BMC of the server) receives the validation instruction.

The terminal device may generate an validation instruction for the parameter modification information of the first component in response to a trigger operation of a validation button (shown in fig. 4), and send the validation instruction to the BMC. After receiving the validation instruction, the BMC may instruct the first component to modify its own parameter based on the parameter modification information of the first component in response to the validation instruction. Alternatively, after receiving the validation instruction, the BMC may trigger the execution of the step of controlling the restart of the first component in response to the validation instruction (S604 b). That is, the BMC controls the first component to restart in response to the validation instruction.

Optionally, after receiving the second instruction information, the terminal device may display the second instruction information, so that the user may be prompted to the BMC to successfully save the parameter modification information of the first component, and further, the user may click an effective button in the parameter configuration interface, so as to trigger the terminal device to send an effective instruction to the BM.

Optionally, after receiving the second indication information, the terminal device may newly display an effective button in the parameter configuration interface. Alternatively, the validation button is always displayed in the parameter configuration interface.
