Server starting method, system, equipment and medium

Abstract

The invention discloses a server starting method, which comprises the following steps of: responding to power-on of a server, and initializing a virtual sensor warehouse by utilizing firmware; acquiring information recorded by a virtual sensor with a preset flag bit in the BMC so as to apply the information to firmware; in response to the fact that the firmware runs to a preset state or runs abnormally without affecting startup, creating a virtual sensor through a PDR and adding the virtual sensor into the virtual sensor warehouse; recording a running state by using the created virtual sensor; and responding to the firmware to enter the petboot, and sending all the virtual sensors in the virtual sensors to a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller). The invention further discloses a system, computer equipment and a readable storage medium. According to the scheme provided by the invention, a large number of virtual sensors are virtualized through the PDR and are used for monitoring the starting process of the server, so that the limitation of an IPMI protocol on the number of the sensors is avoided, and the starting state of the server can be conveniently detected.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of servers, in particular to a server startup method, system, device and storage medium. Background technique [0002] At present, most of the server startup status detection is based on the detection of hardware information. The sensor or monitoring chip detects the temperature, speed and other status of the physical hardware, transmits the information to the BMC, and displays it on the BMC interface. At present, various states are detected through the sensor function of IPMI. Due to the defects of the IPMI protocol itself, the number of sensors that can be controlled is limited. Facing the current growing demand for server sensors, the defects of IPMI are becoming more and more obvious. [0003] The server is generally running in the computer room. During the firmware boot process, due to the configuration of the BMC serial port, sometimes the boot information is not displayed, and sometimes the log informat...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] The server generally runs in the computer room. During the boot process of the firmware, due to the configuration problem of the BMC serial port, sometimes the boot information is not displayed, and sometimes the log information is displayed, but the log information scrolls too fast, so that the user cannot accurately determine the server. What is the current status

The current common method is to use IPMI to control the sensor to obtain the startup status of the machine, and feed it back to the BMC. Due to the defects of the IPMI protocol itself, the number of sensors that can be controlled is limited. At present, the demand for sensors is gradually increasing, resulting in the inability to fully understand the startup status of the machine.
