具体实施方式
本申请提供了一种集中管理服务器启动盘的方法及服务器，用于集中管理服务器的启动盘同时减少维护成本，实现对启动盘的大规模自动化管理。
需要说明的是，本申请提供的集中管理服务器启动盘的方法，可以应用于服务器，也可以应用于终端上，例如终端可以是智能手机或电脑、平板电脑、智能电视、智能手表、便携计算机终端也可以是台式计算机等固定终端。为方便阐述，本申请中以服务器为执行主体进行举例说明。需要注意的是，本申请实施例中，该服务器具体设置有基板管理控制器(BMC,Baseboard Management Controller)、基础输入输出系统(BIOS，Basic Input Output System)等部件。
请参阅图1，图1为本申请提供的集中管理服务器启动盘的方法的一个实施例，该方法包括：
101、服务器的基板管理控制器BMC接收挂载请求指令，根据挂载请求指令挂载目标远程服务硬盘；
本实施例中，服务器的基板管理控制器BMC是独立于服务器主系统之外的小型操作系统,通过BMC可以进行大规模的无人值守操作，例如服务器的远程管理、监控、安装等。
本实施例中，BMC可以通过网络存储协议以及对应的接口接收外部用户输入的挂载请求指令，然后根据该挂载请求指令挂载指定的目标远程服务硬盘。例如，可以在BMC部件 中集成有一个Internet小型计算机系统接口iSCSI存储模块，通过ipmi命令以及iSCSI接口远程挂载目标远程服务硬盘作为服务器的本地硬盘。或者可以通过Redfish接口接收Redfish命令挂载目标远程服务硬盘。或者，还可以通过简单存储服务(S3,Simple Storage Service)访问远端存储服务，挂载目标远程服务硬盘。此外，还可以根据其他方式挂载目标远程服务硬盘，具体此处不做限定。
102、BMC接收服务器的启动指令；
本实施例中，当需要启动服务器时，BMC接收服务器的启动指令，以使得服务器根据该启动指令开机启动。具体地，BMC接收服务器的启动指令可以是BMC接收基于智能型平台管理网络接口输入的远程ipmi命令或者Redfish接口输入的Redfish命令，根据该ipmi命令或该Redfish命令进行服务器的启动开机。或者，用户也可以通过实体按钮启动服务器，BMC接收用户按动该实体按钮所生成的启动指令。此外，还可以根据其他方式接收服务器的启动指令以进行服务器的开机启动，具体此处不做限定。
103、服务器的基础输入输出系统BIOS根据启动指令获取目标远程服务硬盘，该目标远程服务硬盘存储有服务器的启动盘；
本实施例中，服务器的基础输入输出系统BIOS，是不可篡改的启动程序，BIOS主要负责服务器的系统自检程序和系统自启动程序。从而，BIOS的主要功能是控制服务器启动后的基本程式，包括硬盘驱动，键盘设置，软盘驱动，内存和相关设备等。
本实施例中，在BMC接收到服务器的启动指令之后，可以通过服务器的内部总线进行BMC与BIOS的通信连接。BIOS根据该启动指令获取BMC挂载的目标远程服务硬盘。例如，可以通过虚拟的硬盘控制器获取，或者根据NVMe界面(NVM Express)获取，或者根据其他方式获取，本实施中不做详细说明，具体获取方式将在后续实施例中再做详细说明。
需要说明的是，该目标远程服务硬盘中存储有服务器启动所需要的启动盘，该启动盘可以是在服务器挂载目标远程服务硬盘之前，用户在该目标远程服务硬盘中预先存储好的启动盘。也可以是在BMC挂载目标远程服务硬盘之后，由用户自行选择实际需要的启动盘，然后在该目标远程服务硬盘中安装的启动盘，具体此处不做限定。
104、BIOS访问目标远程服务硬盘，并根据该目标远程服务硬盘存储的启动盘启动服务器。
本实施例中，BIOS识别到挂载的目标远程服务硬盘之后，访问该目标远程服务硬盘，并根据该目标远程服务硬盘存储的启动盘启动服务器。具体地，进入BIOS的Boot Menu界面中，确定挂载的目标远程服务硬盘，选择目标远程服务硬盘启动，然后服务器在启动时则跟随该目标远程服务硬盘中存储的启动盘启动服务器。
本实施例中，服务器的基板管理控制器BMC接收挂载请求指令之后，根据挂载请求指令挂载指定的目标远程服务硬盘。当需要启动服务器时，BMC接收服务器的启动指令。然后，服务器的基础输入输出系统BIOS根据启动指令获取BMC挂载的目标远程服务硬盘，在该目标远程服务硬盘中存储有服务器安装启动所需要的启动盘；再然后，服务器的BIOS访问该目标远程服务硬盘，选择根据该目标远程服务硬盘中存储的启动盘启动服务器。根据上述方案，服务器的BMC可以预先挂载远程的目标远程服务硬盘作为启动盘。当收到服务 器的启动指令时，选择根据该目标远程服务硬盘中的启动盘启动。因此，通过本方案，将启动盘存储到远程的目标远程服务硬盘中，不仅可以实现对启动盘的集中管理，而且当服务器需要根据启动盘启动时，再根据挂载的目标远程服务硬盘中的启动盘启动，远程服务硬盘无需进行线下的现场维护，解决了物理硬盘作为启动盘的存储介质在出现故障时需现场维护的问题，由此，提高了对服务器启动盘的管理能力和同时还减少了启动盘的维护成本，实现了对启动盘的大规模自动化管理。
为使本申请提供的集中管理服务器启动盘的方法更加的明显易懂，下面对本申请提供的集中管理服务器启动盘的方法进行详细说明：
请参阅图2，图2为本申请提供的集中管理服务器启动盘的方法另一个实施例，该方法包括：
201、服务器将启动盘存储到目标远程服务硬盘中；
本实施例中，服务器将启动盘存储到目标远程服务硬盘中，具体地，服务器将需要引导安装的系统镜像文件拷贝到目标远程服务硬盘中。例如，若服务器需要引导安装的操作系统为Windows Server 2003，则服务器将Windows Server 2003操作系统的系统镜像文件拷贝到目标远程服务硬盘中。或者，也可以是参照实体安装操作系统的方法，把操作系统安装到目标远程服务硬盘中。
需要说明的是，本实施例中的目标远程服务硬盘可以为用户指定的在目标位置的目标远程服务硬盘，例如，可以根据用户的实际需求确定某一个云存储服务中的块存储作为目标远程服务硬盘。本实施例中，在目标远程服务硬盘中预先存储好服务器的启动盘，可以使得服务器的BMC在挂载该目标远程服务硬盘之后，便可以根据该目标远程服务硬盘中的启动盘安装启动服务器主系统，提高了服务器的启动效率。
可选地，本实施例中，还可以在服务器的BMC接收挂载请求指令，根据该挂载请求指令挂载目标远程服务硬盘之后，再将启动盘存储到该目标远程服务硬盘中。例如，若预先存储在目标远程服务硬盘中的启动盘所对应的操作系统不是用户所实际需要的操作系统时，用户可以在BMC挂载目标远程硬盘之后，将实际需要的操作系统所对应的启动盘存储到目标远程服务硬盘中，由用户自行选择需要存储的启动盘，提高用户体验。
202、服务器的基板管理控制器BMC接收挂载请求指令，根据挂载请求指令挂载目标远程服务硬盘；
本实施例中，BMC通过多种方式挂载目标远程服务硬盘，下面进行举例说明：
一、BMC接收用户基于智能型平台管理网络接口输入的ipmi命令，根据该ipmi命令通过Internet小型计算机系统接口iSCSI挂载目标远程服务硬盘，该ipmi命令携带有该目标远程服务硬盘的信息。
本实施例中，BMC部件内集成iSCSI存储模块，在需要远程访问系统时，外部用户向BMC发送ipmi命令，BMC接收并根据IPMI会话重定向本地串行接口，允许访问远程系统、控制台或远端存储模块等。从而，BMC可以根据该ipmi命令挂载目标远程服务硬盘。该目标远程服务硬盘为iSCSI存储硬盘，从而可使得相对于服务器系统来说，BMC挂载出来的目标远程虚拟硬盘为真实的本地硬盘。
二、BMC接收用户用户基于智能型平台管理网络接口输入的Redfish命令，根据该Redfish命令通过Internet小型计算机系统接口iSCSI挂载目标远程服务硬盘，该Redfish命令携带有目标远程服务硬盘的信息。
本实施例中，BMC可以基于智能型平台管理网络接口和Rredfish接口对外进行通信，具体地，可以通过Redfish命令进行通信连接。从而，外部用户可以通过输入Redfish命令控制BMC连接指定的目标远程服务硬盘。该Redfish命令中携带有目标远程服务硬盘的硬盘信息，以使得BMC可以根据接收到的Redfish命令挂载目标远程服务硬盘。
三、BMC接收用户基于智能型平台管理网络接口输入的私有协议命令，根据私有协议命令通过Internet小型计算机系统接口iSCSI挂载目标远程服务硬盘，私有协议命令携带有目标远程服务硬盘的信息。
本实施例中，BMC可以接收用户基于智能型平台管理网络接口输入的私有协议命令，根据该私有协议命令确定挂载的目标远程服务硬盘，通过iSCSI挂载目标远程服务硬盘。该私有协议命令可以是根据用户内部或者企业内部自定的私有协议标准所使用的命令。该私有协议适用于该服务器的BMC设备。
四、BMC接收挂载请求指令，根据该挂载请求指令通过简单存储服务S3挂载目标远程服务硬盘。
本实施例中，S3理论上为一个全球存储区域网络，具体可以表现为一个超大的硬盘。BMC可以接收相应的挂载请求指令，然后通过S3接口访问远端存储服务，挂载该远端存储服务对应的目标远程服务硬盘。
五、BMC接收挂载请求指令，根据挂载请求指令通过NAS服务挂载目标远程服务硬盘。
NAS网络存储能够将网络中的数据资料进行合理有效、安全的管理，同时，NAS还具有文件共享、备份容灾等功能。本实施例中，BMC可以接收外部用户输入的挂载请求指令，根据该挂载请求指令确定并挂载NAS网络存储器设备所对应的目标远程服务硬盘。
六、BMC接收挂载请求指令，根据挂载请求指令通过SMB服务挂载目标远程服务硬盘。
SMB服务能够用于Wap连接和客户端与服务器直接的信息沟通。本实施例中，可以将目标远程服务硬盘作为SMB网络存储进行共享。BMC接收外部用户输入的挂载请求指令，根据该挂载请求指令通过SMB服务共享挂载目标远程服务硬盘。
本实施例中，还可以通过其他方式挂载目标远程服务硬盘，具体此处不做限定。
203、BMC接收服务器的启动指令；
本实施例中的步骤203与前述图1所示实施例中的步骤102类似，具体此处不再赘述。
204、服务器的基础输入输出系统BIOS根据启动指令获取目标远程服务硬盘，该目标远程服务硬盘存储有服务器的启动盘；
本实施例中，BIOS可以通过多种方式获取目标远程服务硬盘，下面进行举例说明：
一、BIOS根据该启动指令检测该BMC虚拟的硬盘控制器；然后根据该硬盘控制器获取该BMC挂载的该目标远程服务硬盘。
本实施例中，BIOS与目标远程服务硬盘之间的命令和数据传输需要通过硬盘控制器这个中间平台进行控制和数据传输。具体地，BIOS可以在检测并确认硬盘控制器之后，通过 该硬盘控制器接收串行ATA(SATA,Serial ATA)指令，根据该SATA指令获取BMC挂载的目标远程服务硬盘。
二、BIOS根据该启动指令及该BMC虚拟的NVMe界面获取该目标远程服务硬盘。
非易失性内存主机控制器接口规范(NVMe，NVM Express)，是一个逻辑设备接口规范。它是基于设备逻辑接口的总线传输协议规范，用于访问通过PCIE总线(PCI Express)附加的非易失性存储器介质。因此，本实施例中，BIOS也可以通过该NVMe界面与BMC进行数据传输，以获取挂载的目标远程服务硬盘。
三、BIOS根据启动指令及BMC虚拟的SATA界面获取目标远程服务硬盘。
本实施例中，服务器根据启动指令进入BIOS模式，确定BMC虚拟的SATA界面，根据SATA界面通过SATA接口以及SATA数据传输获取目标远程服务硬盘。
四、BIOS根据启动指令及BMC虚拟的SAS界面获取目标远程服务硬盘。
本实施例中，服务器根据启动指令进入BIOS模式，确定BMC虚拟的SAS界面，根据SAS界面通过SAS接口以及SAS数据传输获取目标远程服务硬盘。
本实施例中，还可以通过其他方式获取目标远程服务硬盘，具体此处不做限定。
205、BIOS访问目标远程服务硬盘，并根据该目标远程服务硬盘存储的启动盘启动服务器；
本实施例中的步骤205与前述图1所示实施例中的步骤104类似，具体此处不再赘述。
206、BMC断开该目标远程服务硬盘的挂载。
可选地，本实施例中，在服务器系统启动完成之后，BMC可以断开与该目标远程服务硬盘的挂载，以进行资源释放。
可选地，在服务器的系统启动完成之后，BMC还可以将挂载的目标远程服务硬盘中存储的启动盘销毁，以释放该目标远程服务硬盘中的存储资源，以使得可以使用该目标远程服务硬盘作为服务器的虚拟硬盘再进行其他资源或文件的存储管理，提高服务器的存储能力。
本实施例中，服务器的基板管理控制器BMC可以通过多种方式接收挂载请求指令，然后根据挂载指令挂载目标远程服务硬盘。当需要重新安装启动服务器时，BMC接收服务器的启动指令。BIOS根据该启动指令获取目标远程服务硬盘，该目标远程服务硬盘中存储有该服务器的启动盘。具体地，可以预先在目标远程服务硬盘中存储有服务器的启动盘，或者在服务器挂载目标远程服务硬盘之后再根据用户实际需求存储相应操作系统的启动盘。然后，BIOS根据启动指令访问该目标远程服务硬盘，选择根据该目标远程服务硬盘存储的启动盘启动服务器。最后，当确定服务器启动完成之后，BMC还可以断开与该目标远程服务硬盘的挂载，以进行资源的释放。由此，通过上述方案，将启动盘存储到远程的目标远程服务硬盘中，可以实现对启动盘的集中管理。当需要根据该启动盘启动时，挂载该目标远程服务硬盘然后选择根据该目标远程服务硬盘中的启动盘启动，这样，将启动盘存储到远程服务硬盘中，无需进行现场维护，解决了物理硬盘作为启动盘的存储介质在出现故障时需现场维护的问题，从而不仅可以提高对服务器启动盘的管理能力还减少了对服务器启动盘的维护成本，实现了对启动盘的大规模自动化管理。

本实施例中，挂载单元402可以通过多种方式接收挂载请求指令，根据挂载指令挂载目标远程服务硬盘。当需要重新安装启动服务器时，接收单元403接收服务器的启动指令。获取单元404根据该启动指令获取目标远程服务硬盘。该目标远程服务硬盘中存储有该服务器的启动盘，具体地，存储单元401可以预先在目标远程服务硬盘中存储服务器的启动盘，或者，存储单元401也可以在挂载单元402挂载目标远程服务硬盘之后再根据用户实际需求存储相应操作系统的启动盘。启动单元405访问该目标远程服务硬盘，根据该目标远程服务硬盘存储的服务器的启动盘启动服务器。当确定服务器启动完成之后，断开单元406断开与该目标远程服务硬盘的挂载，从而可以进行资源的释放。由此，通过本服务器中的各单元，首先，可以将启动盘存储到目标远程服务硬盘中，实现对启动盘的集中管理。其次，当需要根据该启动盘启动时，挂载单元402再根据挂载请求指令挂载该目标远程服务硬盘，以使得根据该目标远程服务硬盘中的启动盘进行服务器启动，从而无需将服务器的启动盘存储到物理硬盘中，解决了物理硬盘作为启动盘的存储介质在出现故障时需现场维护的问题，提高了对服务器启动盘的管理能力和减少了服务器启动盘的维护成本，实现了对启动盘的大规模自动化管理。
