When performing firmware switching, first check if the computer system has a specific error message. In the second case, the computer system records the various indications of the execution status in the log and (log) files. In this embodiment, when the power system fails to over-voltage or fails to load the operating system, the power-on failure occurs. The JT automatically generates a corresponding specific error message. Therefore, when judging the computer=system=none_out_specific error message, the above-mentioned Japanese far-slot can be grabbed from the computer system's only body, so that the computer system can be judged through the files. g A condition in which the stress test failed or failed to start properly. If there is a specific error message, the process of this detection method ends. If no specific error message has appeared on the right, the first firmware is read from the firmware data storage area of the computer system as shown in step 115. In step 12, the computer system is subjected to a stress test and it is judged whether the computer system can pass the stress test in the case of the first execution. In this embodiment, the stress test is to confirm the stability of the input and output of the computer system. Therefore, when the first firmware and the second firmware are the main body of the host bus Adapter (HBA) of the computer system, the stress test will obtain the hard disk of the installation operating system. Bus 201106155 wujijJ.TW 31477twf.doc/n The adapter state transmits multiple packets to each other (for example, the host bus adapter transmits the packet to the hard disk, and the hard disk transmits the packet back after receiving the packet. The host II face ge is connected to 1), and the rhyme and the customer stream cry when the input and output of the above packet occurs any error. In the first and second chapters, the basic input/output system (BIOS) of the computer system, = is the power (10), the hard disk and the chipset (including the south bridge chip and the north bridge ^ Transmitting multiple packets to each other and judging whether an error occurs in the input and output packets of the hard disk and the chipset. #Because the transmission and reception of the packet will cause the recorder to take the access action, the right error occurs during the transmission of the packet, indicating that the computer is faulty. ^ No, the record corresponds to the specific brain season: no error occurs in the process of packet transmission, it means that the system passes the duty, so in step (10), to record the second class, and restart Computer system two S two electricity = the first effective;:, medium, more _ in the firmware: ^ _, is the second _ record capital, H update operating system provides the hard version of the shell to make the firmware version The information corresponds to the second firmware. It is easy to judge whether the computer system has an error during the process of restarting, so the table (4) is in the wrong direction. However, if the operating system can be smoothly loaded, as shown in step 201106155 uyu, i«.rw 3l477twf.doc/n step HO, judge again and confirm if it is, then the detection method still has no error message, then Step ^ Right electric storage area to read the second (four), and in step 15G towel, ^ self-extinguishing data pressure test to shock the electricity _ system in the burning of the second money to stabilize. Among them, the method of stress testing is first and foremost; if it is enough, it will not be repeated here. If the pressure test cannot be passed, if the specific error message of the step is 1 pass-through test, then the updated firmware information is mixed, and the first ___ data The storage area, and 2 new, / 尧 recording version information, so that the version of the program is available to restart the computer system. The domain is given by the younger brother. Then, next to the m towel, it is judged that the computer system is restarting _ load = operating system. If the operating system cannot be loaded, τ : is logged. If you can be careful: system, 4, 4 has not become a test procedure, and if the second sentence = the number of times the detection program reaches the preset value (for example, = - person. Right ^ Qian Ma Xuan seam reaches the preset value, Then test: the process of the law. Otherwise, go back to step 115, again from the capital: storage area spine, body, and repeatedly perform step 115 to step (10), until the computer control Newton job test or remaining man-made When the specific error H is generated or the Wei of the completion sequence has reached the preset value, the flow of the detection method of the body switching is ended. , 201106155 \jy\j -j jl v.TW 31477twf.doc/n As shown in the following figure, before the computer system has not generated a special error message due to failure to pass the stress test or can not load the operating system, as long as the number of times the completion of the verification procedure has not yet reached the set value, the detection method of the recorded body switching will be continuously controlled. The computer system is switched between the first and the second, and after the computer system is restarted to make the newly burned Bosch take effect, a pressure test is performed to confirm the stability of the computer system. Chapter blade and stress test It is possible to further ensure that the computer system does not generate errors when replacing different versions of the Leotard, and can also detect the case where the burning is successful but the stress test fails. The present invention further provides a computer program product, which is used for Execute the detection method of the above-mentioned Bodhisattva switching. This computer program produces the instructional city ((4) Cage-aged Jing in the process of manipulating the command of the man-made age of the program, that is, the check of the firmware switching _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Whether the computer system can pass the diligent test = qualitative shutdown of the age, the stalk of the burning and cutting _ body can also be side-out _ success _ force test lost / to limit the stomach, so although the present invention has The embodiment discloses the invention as defined in the spirit and scope of the present invention.
