Method for out-of-band check and modification of BIOS (basic input/output system) setting options

Abstract

The invention provides a method for out-of-band check and modification of BIOS (basic input / output system) setting options. Components involved in the method include a node BIOS option information setting module, an out-of-band control information transceiver module and an out-of-band control side. The specific process includes that the out-of-band control side transmits an IPMI (intelligent platform management interface) check command, acquires setting information of BIOS options, and transmits an IPMI setting command to modify the BIOS setting options; the out-of-band control information transceiver module receives the command from the out-of band side and executes operations of checking or modifying BIOS option information, in a boot stage, an IPMI remote control command is checked to be needed or not, and if the command is received, the BIOS option information is modified; the node-BIOS option information setting module writes the current BIOS setting options into a memory region of a BMC (block multiplexer channel). Compared with the prior art, the method high in practicability and easy to popularize greatly can improve checking and modifying efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to a method for checking and modifying BIOS setting options out of band. Background technique [0002] With the continuous evolution of information technology, various computer centers are also constantly developing. From the early PC era and the Internet era, step by step towards the era of cloud computing. In the era of cloud computing, the data capabilities, network capabilities, and service capabilities of the centers are all is constantly improving. From the perspective of operation and maintenance, these centers must be reliable, stable, and easy to manage, and the management of these computing centers or data centers requires efforts from personnel and technology. In terms of personnel, there must be a professional, stable, and dedicated maintenance team; in terms of technology, there must be in-depth and solid system technology, scientific and effective host operation ind...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] For each platform center, viewing and modifying the BIOS option settings of node machines is an indispensable part of the maintenance process. At present, most of the management is to manually change the BIOS options for nodes on site. The more convenient method is only limited to BMC KVM Although the method is a visual operation, the operation steps are too many, and it is not conducive to performing operations in large quantities, which greatly reduces the efficiency. In order to solve these problems, an efficient method is proposed, which can realize batch The convenience method of execution has a broad application space
