Abstract

一种在OPENPOWER CPU架构服务器BOOT中提供针对PCIE卡配置能力的方法；通过在OpenPower CPU架构服务器的BOOT程序中集成PCIE卡配置程序，使得用户在进入BOOT程序之后，可以选择从启动界面中退出并执行PCIE卡配置程序，并对指定的PCIE卡进行底层的配置。以解决特定PCIE设备有需要在操作系统启动之前进行配置的硬性要求。用户在进入BOOT之后，可以选择从启动界面中退出并执行PCIE卡配置程序，对指定的PCIE卡进行底层的配置。

Description

一种在OpenPower CPU架构服务器BOOT中提供针对PCIE卡配置能力的方法 技术领域
本发明属于服务器应用技术领域，更具体地，涉及一种在OpenPower CPU架构服务器BOOT中提供针对PCIE卡配置能力的方法。
背景技术
对于OpenPower CPU架构服务器，在系统上电后，CPU读取Flash上的BOOT程序，然后开始执行。在服务器架构中，存在一些需要在启动操作系统之前或者安装操作系统之前进行配置的PCIE设备。典型如需要用来安装操作系统的磁盘设备所挂接的PCIE控制器。如果在安装操作系统之前不进行配置的话，那么在进入操作系统之后是无法对安装了操作系统的硬盘进行底层的配置，如配置/删除Raid信息。
发明内容
针对现有技术的缺陷，本发明的目的在于提供一种在POWER CPU架构服务器BOOT中提供针对PCIE卡配置能力的方法；旨在解决现有技术中由于在启动操作系统之前无法对PCIE卡进行底层配置的问题。
本发明提供了一种在OpenPower CPU架构服务器BOOT中提供针对PCIE卡配置能力的方法，通过在OpenPower CPU架构服务器的BOOT程序中集成PCIE卡配置程序，使得用户在进入BOOT程序之后，可以选择从启动界面中退出并执行PCIE卡配置程序，并对指定的PCIE卡进行底层的配置。
更进一步地，所述PCIE卡配置程序预先被放置在所述BOOT程序中。
更进一步地，当用户选择高级配置模式后，执行对应的PCIE卡配置程 序并对PCIE设备进行相关的配置；当用户配置完后，选择回到引导操作界面，并进行后续的操作。
本发明通过在Openpower CPU架构服务器的BOOT程序中集成了PCIE卡配置的程序；使得用户在进入BOOT之后，可以选择从启动界面中退出并执行PCIE卡配置程序，对指定的PCIE卡进行底层的配置。PCIE卡将对应的配置数据写入到自身的ROM中，且实时生效。服务器重启之后，对应的配置仍然保存在PCIE卡对应的ROM中。
附图说明
图1是本发明实施例提供的在OpenPower CPU架构服务器BOOT中提供针对PCIE卡配置能力的方法实现流程图。
具体实施方式
为了使本发明的目的、技术方案及优点更加清楚明白，以下结合附图及实施例，对本发明进行进一步详细说明。应当理解，此处所描述的具体实施例仅仅用以解释本发明，并不用于限定本发明。
图1示出了本发明实施例提供本方法的系统原理框图，为了更进一步说明本发明实施例提供的在OpenPower CPU架构服务器BOOT中提供针对PCIE卡配置能力的方法，现结合附图，详述如下：
在编写BOOT程序的时候，将PCIE卡配置程序放置到BOOT程序中。
在系统上电前，用户将BOOT程序烧录到服务器的Flash芯片上。
Openpower服务器的CPU上电后，从Flash中装载Boot可执行程序。
Boot可执行程序逐步执行，一直到引导操作的界面。
引导操作界面提供了用户进入高级配置模式的选项。
用户选择高级配置模式后，执行对应的PCIE卡配置程序对PCIE设备进行相关的配置。
在用户配置完毕后，选择回到引导操作界面，并进行后续的操作。
在本发明实施例提供的一种在POWER CPU架构服务器BOOT中提供针对PCIE卡配置能力的方法中，将PCIE卡配置程序集成到BOOT程序中，以满足某些特殊的PCIE设备必须要在进入操作系统之前进行配置的硬性要求。由于BOOT程序集成了PCIE卡配置程序；在服务器上电之后，BOOT程序提供用户选择执行PCIE程序的能力。
本领域的技术人员容易理解，以上所述仅为本发明的较佳实施例而已，并不用以限制本发明，凡在本发明的精神和原则之内所作的任何修改、等同替换和改进等，均应包含在本发明的保护范围之内。
