Machine type identification method for multi-hardware-platform FeiTeng server

Abstract

The invention discloses a machine type identification method for a multi-hardware-platform FeiTeng server. The method includes the steps of firstly, establishing a platform information field address in an extended ROM (read-only memory) of a computer, and using a virtual machine monitor to package a read-write interface function of the platform information field address and supply the read-write interface function to a kernel of an operating system for calling; secondly, during startup of the operating system, acquiring a bootstrap loading routine instruction received by the operating system first and analyzing hardware platform parameters of the bootstrap loading routine instruction, and writing the hardware platform type information corresponding to the hardware platform parameters into the platform information field address in the extended ROM if the hardware platform parameters are included; and thirdly, reading the hardware platform type information in the hardware platform field address through the read-write interface function of the platform information field address, and identifying a hardware platform of the FeiTeng virtual server according to the platform type information. The method has the advantages of high compatibility, convenience to use and simplicity to operate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of virtualization of Feiteng servers, in particular to a machine type identification method for Feiteng servers with multiple hardware platforms. Background technique [0002] Feiteng server (FT server) is a server computer platform developed by the National University of Defense Technology of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and based on the FT1000 processor. The FT1000 processor is a general-purpose 64-bit processor developed by the National Defense University and compatible with the sparc instruction set. The current Feiteng server includes a variety of hardware platform types, such as nanga platform, meili platform and nc platform, etc. Nanga platform, meili platform and nc platform are all Feiteng computers based on the FT1000 processor. Due to the differences in existing hardware manufacturers and interfaces, etc. The reason, their peripherals are not exactly the same. The PCIe switching units use...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Since the hardware configurations of different platforms of Feiteng servers are not exactly the same, and the driver software required for different hardware configurations is different, different operating systems are deployed on different Feiteng server platforms. Therefore, when virtualizing Feiteng servers, it is necessary to It will be constrained by a specific hardware platform, and it cannot achieve mutual compatibility between multiple hardware platforms, which brings inconvenience to users and is not conducive to the application and promotion of Feiteng server
