Problems solved by technology

[0004] The present invention aims at the problem that the update of the firmware of the management modules in the current system mainly adopts the method of updating different management modules separately. For the management modules with a large number of updates in the multi-unit server system, it needs to consume a lot of manpower and material resources. A kind of A method for implementing a large-scale update of management module firmware, enabling simultaneous update of multiple management module firmware

Embodiment Construction

[0018] The present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0019] A method for implementing a large-scale update of management module firmware, setting all management modules in the same network, specifying a server system that provides DHCP and TFTP, each board-level management module BMC is connected to the system-level management module AMM through a LAN switch, and through the network Communication; for the TFTP protocol configuration menu, select the TFTP protocol in the pop-up protocol configuration page, refer to image 3 .

[0020] Command line update firmware using shell and expect script:

[0021] The firmware of the management module BMC uses control.sh in the Shell script to execute the entire program process, including using the Telnet tool to log in to the AMM management module. After the Telnet tool logs in to the AMM management module, it executes the corresponding Log in the firmware of each BMC management module,...

Abstract

The invention discloses an implementation method of updating management module firmware in large scale, and belongs to the field of server technology and firmware updating. The implementation method comprises the following steps: setting all management modules in the same network, appointing a server system which provides DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol), connecting each BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) to a system-level management module AMM (Advanced Management Module) through a LAN (Local Area Network) switch, and communicating through the network; using the command lines of the Shell and Expect scripts to update the firmware; logging the firmware of the management module BMC to the AMM management module through a Telnet tool of the control program in the Shell script; writing the IP (Internet Protocol) addresses of all management modules into a file through the program in the Expect script in charge of acquiring the IP addresses of all management modules in network; finally, reading the IP address file through the program for updating the firmware in the Expect script, and calling the Expect script circularly to update the firmware until the firmware update of all management modules is completed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention discloses a method for realizing firmware, which belongs to the field of server technology and firmware update, and specifically relates to a method for realizing firmware of a large-scale update management module. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of cloud technology today, multi-unit server systems with advantages such as high computing density, good architecture deployment, and easy centralized management have been widely used in various industries. The multi-unit server system is a computing platform integrating server, network, storage, I / O, and management. The monitoring system is the guarantee for the normal operation of multi-unit servers, and is mainly composed of a board-level management module (BMC, Baseboard Management Controller) and a system-level management module (AMM, Advanced Management Module). Among them, AMM is responsible for the centralized management of the entire system. Its main functions ...
