Problems solved by technology

[0005] In the traditional BIOS upgrade configuration method, not only the original configuration information will be lost, but also the user needs to wait for the BIOS upgrade to complete the configuration; this will not only lead to risks in configuring the BIOS, but also waste a lot of time for the operation and maintenance engineers to wait for the BIOS upgrade process / On the boot process (the boot time of multi-channel servers is more than 10 minutes or more)

Embodiment 1

[0022] The unattended BIOS configuration method is as follows: the user sets the configuration information required by the BIOS in the BMC; provides a virtual interface for the user to configure the BIOS with the BMC, and saves the configuration information in the EEROM; saves the configuration information of the BIOS with the EEROM.

[0023] The operation steps of the unattended BIOS configuration method are as follows:

[0024] 1) Save BIOS configuration information

[0025] The BMC virtualizes the BIOS configuration interface on the WEB interface through the network, and the user configures the BIOS settings on the virtual BIOS configuration interface; the BMC will record these information in the EEROM, and the BMC will also actively read the BIOS configuration information; the BMC Read the current BIOS configuration information through the hardware interface, and then save it in the flash;

[0026] 2) Configure the BIOS

[0027] Configuring the BIOS includes: directly co...

Abstract

The invention discloses an unattended BIOS (Basic Input / output System) configuration method which comprises the following steps: setting configuration information required by a BIOS in a BMC (Block Multiplexer Channel) by a user; supplying a virtual interface for the user to configure the BIOS by the BMC, and storing the configuration information in an EEROM (Electrically Erasable Read-Only Memory); and storing the BIOS configuration information in the EEROM. Compared with the prior art, the unattended BIOS configuration method provided by the invention has the advantages that when BIOS configuration is performed according to the method, the alteration for some configurations is performed by setting BIOS related items in a WEB interface of the BMC in advance by the user under the condition of not losing original configuration information of the BIOS, the manual configuration after startup self-checking / BIOS upgrading is not required, the BIOS can finish self-setting after startup according to the setting in the BMC, and the original configuration information is not lost if the alteration for configuration information and the resetting of the BIOS are not required.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to an unattended BIOS configuration method. Background technique [0002] BIOS is the abbreviation of English "Basic Input Output System". After literal translation, the Chinese name is "Basic Input Output System". In fact, it is a set of programs solidified on a ROM chip on the motherboard of the computer. It stores the most important basic input and output programs of the computer, system setting information, self-test programs after power-on, and system self-starting programs. Its main function is to provide the computer with the lowest and most direct hardware setting and control. [0003] EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory), Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory-a memory chip that does not lose data after power failure. EEPROM can erase the existing information and reprogram on the computer or special equipment. Generally used in plug...
