Problems solved by technology

The number of RACK cabinets is huge, and the number of node mid-planes on each cabinet is 4-10. Due to customization requirements, different types of Rack cabinets are equipped with different versions of node mid-planes. Therefore, in the process of R&D, testing and production, It must be strictly controlled that different models of RACKs are equipped with different versions of node midplanes. Once mixed node midplanes are inserted, the RACK cabinet will fail.
As a result, the version control work of the board in the node becomes cumbersome and complicated, which greatly increases the time and labor costs of development, testing and production, and there are also many risks

Embodiment Construction

[0013] A design method of RACK-based mid-board mixed insertion in a node using automatic refresh firmware of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0014] A RACK-based design method for the mixed insertion of node mid-boards using automatic firmware refresh. The control management unit RMC of the RACK cabinet compares the version number of the firmware running on the node mid-board of the cabinet with the firmware version number of the mid-node mid-board stored in the RMC. If they are inconsistent, the firmware of the node mid-board in RMC will be updated automatically, saving manual judgment and refresh time, so as to achieve the purpose of quickly refreshing the node mid-board.

[0015] This method is implemented through the following steps:

[0016] 1) Mix and insert the node mid-planes of other cabinets into the Rack cabinet;

[0017] 2) The RMC of the cabinet reads the firmware version number of the board ...

Abstract

The invention provides a design method for automatic refresh of firmware during mixed insertion use of a node middle plate on basis of RACK. A control and management unit RMC of an RACK cabinet distinguishes whether the version number of the firmware operating in the node middle plate of the cabinet is consistent with the version number of a node middle plate firmware stored in the RMC, and the node middle plate firmware in the RMC is automatically refreshed if the version number of the firmware operating in the node middle plate of the cabinet is inconsistent with the version number of the node middle plate firmware. The node middle plate firmware is automatically updated to the version matched with RMC by distinguishing whether the version number of the firmware operating in the node middle plate arranged in the cabinet in a mixed insertion manner is consistent with the version number of the node middle plate firmware locally stored in the RMC, the process that the version of the node middle plate is manually checked and manually refreshed is omitted, automation maintenance is facilitated, and energy is saved. Therefore, the defects of management and maintenance of software version of the node middle plate in the RACK cabinet are made up, and the node middle plate is better adapted to large-scale construction and use of a machine room and has a very wide development space.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer software development, in particular to a RACK-based design method for inter-board mixed insertion in nodes using automatic refresh firmware. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of the mobile Internet, large-scale computer rooms are constantly being built. Major Internet companies are providing space utilization in computer rooms, developing high-density servers in clusters, and increasing power utilization. RACK cabinets are being introduced into data computer rooms in large numbers for operation. The number of RACK cabinets is huge, and the number of node mid-planes on each cabinet is 4-10. Due to customization requirements, different types of Rack cabinets are equipped with different versions of node mid-planes. Therefore, in the process of R&D, testing and production, It must be strictly controlled that different models of RACKs are equipped with different versions of node midplanes...
