Embodiment Construction

[0026] Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In addition, wherever possible, elements / components / symbols with the same reference numerals are used in the drawings and embodiments to represent the same or similar parts.

[0027] figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a network service system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the network service system 100 includes a control unit 110 , distribution units 120_1 , 120_2 , and servers 130_1_1 ~ 130_1_P, 130_2_1 ~ 130_2_Q (P, Q are positive integers). The servers 130_1_1~130_1_P and 130_2_1~130_2_Q are divided into groups 130_1 and 130_2, that is, the group 130_1 includes the servers 130_1_1~130_1_P, and the group 130_2 includes the servers 130_2_1~130_2_Q.

[0028] The distribution units 120_1 and 120_2 are respectively connected to the servers in the groups 130_1 and 130_2, that...

Abstract

The invention discloses a network service system and a method for updating firmware. The method comprises the following steps: transmitting a firmware updating instruction and an updating firmware network address to a plurality of distribution units when firmware of at least one functional unit of a plurality of servers needs to be updated, respectively judging whether a plurality of servers of at least one corresponding cluster comprise base plate management controllers, transmitting the firmware updating instruction and the updating firmware network address to the plurality of servers with the base plate management controllers, acquiring updated firmware from the updating firmware network address, and updating the firmware of at least one functional unit of the plurality of servers with the base plate management controllers.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a firmware update technology, and in particular to a method for updating firmware of components in multiple servers. Background technique [0002] In the fields of network services and information transmission, many enterprises set up many servers according to the remote services they provide or their business needs. In order to reduce the burden of operating costs, these enterprises hope to integrate these servers into a data center (Data Center) that can be centrally managed, and reduce the cost of server management through the integration of applications or hardware resources. [0003] There are many device components in the server that can use firmware (Firmware) update to adjust their functions, such as Basic Input Output System (Basic Input Output System, BIOS), baseboard management controller (Baseboard Management Controller, BMC) and so on. Firmware generally refers to software embedded in hardware elements of ...
