Problems solved by technology

[0012] The refresh rate of the above-mentioned operations is 2 person-times and 2 hours for a whole cabinet, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also inefficient, and when faced with 40 server nodes in the whole cabinet, it is extremely easy to miss the refresh, causing hidden dangers

Embodiment Construction

[0062] The content of the present invention is described in more detail below:

[0063] The batch automatic upgrade method of the Smart Rack whole cabinet BIOS is mainly completed through three steps:

[0064] First, through the PXE batch filling system to the Smart Rack server in the entire cabinet and automatically assign IP to each server.

[0065] 1. Configure DHCP server: used to provide IP address and other information to clients

[0066] 2. Configure TFTP server: files required for client PXE boot

[0067] 3. Configuration of web server and modification of ks file

[0068] 4. PXE boot configuration.

[0069] Secondly, copy the relevant tools to the Smart Rack server of the whole cabinet after passing the node mutual trust

[0070] 1. Determine whether the hostfile exists, if it exists, delete it, and the hostfile needs to be reconstructed;

[0071] 2. Refactor the hostfile;

[0072] 3. Complete the mutual trust of the whole cabinet node;

[0073] 4. Complete the co...

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of Smart Rack and provides a method for BIOS (basic input output system) batch automatic upgrading of a Smart Rack integral cabinet. By node intercommunication, BIOS renovation of all servers is completed through batch operations under a system. Automatic IP acquisition of all servers is carried out through DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol), and PXE (pre-boot execution environment) guide and OS (operating system) filling of the integral cabinet are finished; configuration of a renovation environment is finished through interconnection copying and configuration; BIOS renovation of the integral cabinet is finished finally through automated scripts. Compared with traditional DOS (disk operating system) or off-line BIOS upgrading, the method has advantages that BIOS efficiency is greatly improved by automatic batch operations, and execution omission rate of manual operations is decreased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of Smart Rack, in particular to a method for automatically upgrading the BIOS of a Smart Rack whole cabinet in batches. Background technique [0002] BIOS is the abbreviation of "Basic Input Output System" in English. It is a set of programs solidified on a ROM chip on the motherboard of the computer. It stores the most important basic input and output programs of the computer, self-test programs and system Self-starting program, which can read and write specific information about system settings from CMOS. Its main function is to provide the computer with the lowest and most direct hardware setting and control, which has three parts: [0003] 1. It is used to detect the hardware part when the computer is just powered on. It is also called Power On Self Test (POST for short). The function is to check whether the computer is in good condition. Usually a complete POST self-test will include the CPU, Memory, ROM, mothe...
