System configuration method and device and system

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a system configuration method, a system configuration device and a system and relates to the field of computers; abnormity and crashing of a system caused by overlong waiting time in an operation command configuration process are avoided, user experience effect is enhanced, and system stability is improved. Meanwhile, computation complexity can be reduced, thus being beneficial to upgrade maintenance of the system. The method specifically comprises the steps that: an out-of-band management system receives an operation command sent by a user side; the out-of-band management system computes and generates a hardware configuration scheme according to the operation command; the out-of-band management system sends the hardware configuration scheme to a basic input-output system, so that the basic input-output system configures the hardware according to the hardware configuration scheme. The system configuration method and device are applied to the configuration of system dynamic resources.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of computers, in particular to a system configuration method, device and system. Background technique [0002] With the development of information technology, the updating of hardware resources in the system is becoming more and more important. In a large system composed of multiple unit components, the administrator can increase, decrease, allocate, and control the available hardware resources of the system through the dynamic configuration of system resources without stopping the operation of the entire system, which can enhance the flexibility of the system Reliability, and at the same time, it can replace the unit parts that frequently fail to enhance the stability and availability of the system. [0003] Currently, there are two implementation methods for configuring system hardware resources. One is to use the out-of-band management system to configure system hardware resources: when it is necessary to...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The inventor found that in the prior art, because the rate of the out-of-band channel is low, if there are many registers to be configured, technical solution 1 needs to wait for a long time when performing corresponding operations, and some hardware resources need to be allocated in the system Only after entering the silent mode can the modification of the register configuration be implemented, which may cause the system to crash and affect the stability of the system; although the read and write speed of the in-band bus is higher than that of the out-of-band bus, for a large system, it is difficult for a single-node BIOS to control the overall situation. Reliable and unified management of configuration, so technical solution 2 The algorithm complexity of configuring hardware resources by BIOS is too high, and thus affects the stability of the system

It can be seen that the method for configuring system hardware resources in the prior art will affect the stability of the system, which is not conducive to the upgrade and maintenance of the system, and then affects the user experience effect
