Problems solved by technology

Usually, to refresh and upgrade a RAID card driver, you need to manually compile the driver according to the kernel modification. The complete update takes about 10 to 15 minutes. If you refresh each server one by one, it will take more than four or five hours. In the case of a large number of repetitive operations, it is inevitable that some unavoidable mistakes will occur

Embodiment Construction

[0020] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] The invention provides a method for a server to automatically refresh RAID card drivers in batches, as shown in the attached figure 1 As shown, the specific implementation process is:

[0022] First, use a server as the control node, and copy the RAID card driver file and the content to be compiled to all nodes;

[0023] Then execute the refresh job;

[0024] After the refresh is complete, restart the operating system, automatically check the RAID card drivers of all nodes and generate documents, so as to check the upgrade results;

[0025] So far, all the refresh work has been completed.

[0026] Before the above refresh action starts, it also includes the steps of pre-work. The steps are: set the node names and assign IP addresses for all servers in the cabinet according to the physical location from bottom to top, and configure ssh...

Abstract

The present invention discloses an RAID card driver automatic batch refreshing method for servers. The RAID card driver automatic batch refreshing method for the servers comprises the specific implementation process: firstly, using one server as a control node, and copying RAID card driving files and contents which need to be compiled onto all nodes; then executing a refreshing operation; after completing the refreshment, restarting an operating system, automatically inspecting RAID card drivers of all the nodes and generating documents so as to inspect an upgrade result; and so far, completing all the refreshing work. Compared with the prior art, the RAID card driver automatic batch refreshing method for the servers can rapidly, efficiently, accurately and automatically perform the synchronous refreshing operation on a great number of general servers on a cabinet, thereby significantly saving operation man-hours, and also avoids an instruction input error caused by a great number of repetitive operations during manual refreshment as all instructions and compiled contents are written into a script in advance. Not only is the work efficiency improved in the testing work, but also convenience is provided for the later maintenance work of the servers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to a method for automatically refreshing RAID card drivers in batches with strong practicability. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of current testing technology, various testing tools, testing software and methods are more and more applied to the testing of server products and various components. [0003] There are usually 20 to 80 servers of the same type in a general-purpose server cabinet in a large computer room. In the process of testing and daily maintenance, it is necessary to update the firmware of the RAID card drivers of these servers. Usually, to refresh and upgrade a RAID card driver, you need to manually compile the driver according to the kernel modification. The complete update takes about 10 to 15 minutes. If you refresh each server one by one, it will take more than four or five hours. In the case of a large number of repetitive opera...
