Description

Storage device controller drive programe installation method and system
Technical field
The invention relates to a kind of computer information technology, particularly about a kind of storage device controller drive programe installation method and system, allow a computer platform (for example webserver) when installing operating system (for example (SuSE) Linux OS), can be automatically with the various storage device controllers that overlap on this computer platform, for example the driver of RAID (the RedundantArray of Independent Disks) disk array controller of Jian Rong SCSI (Small Computer SystemInterface) or IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) needs is mounted to this computer platform.
Background technology
The webserver often is overlapped with various different storage device, and wherein RAID (RedundantArray of Independent Disks) disc array devices is a kind of storage device of the most normal use at present.The interface standard that the controller of RAID disc array devices adopts for example has IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) and SCSI (Small Computer SystemInterface).Because the RAID disc array devices of distinct interface standard needs different drivers, therefore if will be when being mounted to a webserver with operating system (for example Window, UNIX or Linux), the exclusive driver of storage device controller that needs earlier this webserver to be overlapped at present is mounted on this webserver, allows this webserver can correctly control storage device controller.For instance, be the IDE type if the RAID controller of webserver overlap joint is arranged, then the user needs the driver that the RAID controller of IDE type is exclusive that the webserver so far is installed; If the Magnetic Disk Controller of overlap joint is the SCSI type, then the user needs the exclusive driver of SCSI type RAID controller is installed the webserver so far.
Existing driver is with manual mode, installs according to the prompting of screen.Yet the shortcoming of the above-mentioned existing practice is need be planted with manual mode and repeated to substitute disk by the user in the installation process, makes that the driver installation procedure is very time-consuming, effort, efficient be lower.In addition, because the manual installation mode often need set up some parameters or option on their own by the user, therefore for new hand's user regular meeting setup error takes place or how correctly not know the situation of installation.
Summary of the invention
For overcoming the shortcoming of above-mentioned prior art, fundamental purpose of the present invention is to be to provide a kind of storage device controller drive programe installation method and system, can not need the user with manual plant and substitute the needed driver of storage device controller that disc is installed the computer platform overlap joint fully, make that the driver installation procedure is more time saving and energy saving and efficient.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a kind of storage device controller drive programe installation method and system, can set up parameter or the required driver of option installation storage device controller on their own by the user, make the driver installation procedure more reliable and quick.
A kind of storage device controller drive programe installation method of the present invention, allow a computer platform when an operating system is installed, the driver that the various storage device controllers that this computer platform is overlapped need is mounted to this computer platform automatically, this storage device controller drive programe installation method comprises at least: build a driver storehouse in advance, the multiple different driver that wherein prestores, and this driver storehouse is integrated into this operating system; This operating system installation during to this computer platform, is being carried out following program: detect this computer platform type of the storage device controller of overlap joint at present; According to above-mentioned testing result, from this driver storehouse, hunt out corresponding driver; And make this operating system that the driver of correspondence is loaded on this computer platform.
A kind of storage device controller driver installation system of the present invention, allow a computer platform when an operating system is installed, the driver that the various storage device controllers that this computer platform is overlapped need is mounted to this computer platform automatically, this storage device controller driver installation system comprises at least: a driver storehouse wherein prestores multiple different driver; One controller type detection module can detect this computer platform type of the storage device controller of overlap joint at present; One driver search module can hunt out corresponding driver according to the testing result of this storage device controller type detection module from this driver storehouse; And a driver load-on module, the driver that this driver search module can be searched is loaded on this computer platform.
Storage device controller drive programe installation method of the present invention is multiple different driver is integrated in the fixing disc of operating system in advance with the technical essential of system; With this operating system installation during to this computer platform, then carry out a controller type trace routine, a driver searching procedure and a driver loading procedure in regular turn, in a specific file in the archives economy that required driver is mounted to computer platform.Because the driver that the present invention can need the storage device controller of computer platform overlap joint is mounted to this computer platform automatically, needn't plant with manual mode and repeat to substitute disk by the user, and needn't set up parameter or option on their own by the user, therefore can make the driver installation procedure more reliably and more save time, laborsaving, safe and efficient.

Embodiment
Embodiment
Below be conjunction with figs., describe the embodiment of storage device controller drive programe installation method of the present invention and system in detail.
Fig. 1 promptly shows the Object Oriented OO component model framework of storage device controller driver installation system of the present invention (part that comprises as the frame of broken lines of label 100 indications).As shown in the figure, storage device controller driver installation system 100 of the present invention is to cooperate an operating system 10 in practical application, for example UNIX, Linux or Window operating system, this operating system 10 is the predetermined computer platforms 20 that are mounted to, the webserver for example, and this computer platform 20 has been equipped with an at least one storage device controller 30 and a storage device 31, for example RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) disk array formula storage device; Wherein this storage device controller 30 for example is the RAID controller of IDE type or SCSI type.Storage device controller driver installation system 100 of the present invention can be when the user be mounted to this computer platform 20 with this operating system 10, and the driver that the storage device controller 30 that this computer platform 20 is overlapped needs is mounted to this computer platform 20 automatically.
Storage device controller driver installation system 100 of the present invention can be implemented with software mode in practical application fully, and the basic framework of the component model of its Object Oriented OO comprises at least: (a) driver storehouse 101; (b) a controller type detection module 110; (c) a driver search module 120; And (d) driver load-on module 130.
Prestore multiple different storage device controller driver in the driver storehouse 101, for example comprise the driver of IDE type RAID controller, driver of SCSI type RAID controller or the like.
Controller type detection module 110 can detect the type of the storage device controller 30 of these computer platform 20 overlap joints.Because IDE type RAID controller commonly used at present and scsi disk controller all can be compatible to PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus, therefore controller type detection module 110 can be by the pci bus 21 in the computer platform 20, obtain the product identification data of building in advance by manufacturer in the storage device controller 30, for example product type and vendor code can detect the type of the storage device controller 30 of computer platform 20 overlap joints.
Driver search module 120 can hunt out corresponding driver according to the testing result of above-mentioned controller type detection module 110 from this driver storehouse 101.
