Problems solved by technology

The refresh of the power supply firmware must go to the server storage site, which increases the maintenance cost; a single refresh wastes a lot of time and seriously affects the refresh efficiency
[0004] Based on this, an implementation method for remotely batch refreshing server power supply modules that can solve many problems such as high maintenance cost and low efficiency of traditional refreshing power supply Firmware is now provided.

Embodiment Construction

[0021] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] The present invention proposes a method for remotely refreshing server power supply modules in batches. By installing the refreshing software on the host computer at the user end, connecting to the server through a local area network or the Internet, using the IPMI protocol to communicate with the main board BMC module and transferring the modules that need to be refreshed to the BMC The refresh module is transmitted to the power module through the BMC through the I2C protocol or the SMBus protocol to realize the remote refresh function of the power module software.

[0023] as attached figure 1 , figure 2 As shown, the specific implementation process is:

[0024] 1. The client host implements data communication with the power module:

[0025] First, the information is remotely logged in to the BMC module of the server motherboard th...

Abstract

The invention discloses an implementation method for remotely refreshing server power modules in batch. The method comprises the specific steps that a client side host is in data communication with the power modules; batched refreshing of power module Firmware is achieved on the client side host through client side software; server addresses, user names, passwords are input to users of the client side software to achieve communication with power module PSUs through an ipmi protocol in the communication mode; finally, the power module Firmware of batched servers is refreshed at the same time through multiple threads. Compared with the prior art, the implementation method for remotely refreshing the server power modules in batch achieve remote batched server power module maintenance, labor cost is lowered, service efficiency is improved, and high practicality is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to a practical method for remotely refreshing server power supply modules in batches. Background technique [0002] Firmware acts as the software for the most basic and bottom-level work of a system. In hardware devices, firmware is the soul of hardware devices, because some hardware devices have no other software components except firmware, so firmware also determines the function and performance of hardware devices. Due to the advancement of integrated circuits, upgrading firmware has become easier and less dangerous, and the difference between firmware programs and what we usually call programs has become smaller and smaller. In the early days, upgrading the firmware was mainly to solve some bugs and compatibility issues. With the advent of the information age, manufacturers' designs are difficult to fully meet customer needs, and more manufacturers upgrade firmware to provid...
