Method for intelligent configuration of host computer embedded environment during BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) development

Abstract

The invention provides a method for intelligent configuration of a host computer embedded environment during BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) development, wherein a new automatic embedded type environment configuration method is adopted, and the results obtained based on the method are completely the same as that of the traditional method and is different from the traditional method only in the configuration means aspect. In the method, a Linux-based software package is developed, and a program is operated under the software; the software package can be used for detecting a system and intelligently installing various software as required under a necessary condition; the installation of all the related software can be completed as long as the software package is operated; and a network environment can be set up after the required information is filled in. The method is also named as an integrated intelligent configuration method. By means of the method, the configuration of the host end network environment can be completed within several minutes, and the error probability can be greatly reduced. In addition, a script language is selected for compiling a script program so as to make intelligent installation and configuration actions.

Description

[0001] technical field [0002] The invention relates to the field of BMC development of servers, in particular to a method for intelligently configuring the embedded environment of a host machine in BMC development. Background technique [0003] The security performance of the server is an important indicator of the server. The monitoring and management module of the server is independent of the BIOS and operating system. As long as the system is powered on, it can complete the monitoring function of the server at any time, including the time period when the BIOS and operating system cannot be entered, and obtain the values ​​of various sensors and analyze possible problems. Error conditions are logged and the system is restored if necessary. The monitoring function itself is independent, and the monitoring function can still be completed when both the BIOS and the operating system fail. [0004] The core of server monitoring and management is BMC (baseboard management co...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0007] Using the traditional method, although it is possible to configure various services step by step through step-by-step procedures, and complete the final erection of the embedded environment, this method also has a big defect: it costs more to configure the embedded development environment time and energy, if the configuration is wrong, it may take more time to query and modify

Whether it is reinstalling from the CD or downloading the rpm package from the Internet, it is cumbersome and time-consuming

In particular, the installation package downloaded from the Internet may not necessarily match the current version of the system, so re-searching increases the time cost

The editing of the configuration files of each corresponding software is cumbersome

(2) Because more files need to be configured, software developers, especially junior developers, tend to miss points

Once the setting is wrong, it is more difficult to check the error
