Embodiment 1

[0032] Example as figure 1 .2.3. Shown.

[0033] In order to realize this solution, the hardware module, the BIOS module and the BMC module need to cooperate together to complete. After the hardware module detects that the platform hardware has changed, it notifies the BIOS module in the form of an interrupt. The BIOS module obtains the current system configuration information through the IPMI interface. Pass the current configuration information to the BMC module, and the BMC module stores the system configuration information in EEPROM and displays it on the BMC interface for users to view. The hardware module mainly refers to the configuration circuit arranged on the main board. It should be noted that the setting method of the configuration circuit is not unique, and all circuits that can realize the idea of ​​this method are within the protection scope of the present invention.

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of computers, in particular to a hardware configuration change alarming method. The method comprises the steps that system hardware changes are detected in a shutdown state, including a power-supply-adopted shutdown state and a power-supply-free shutdown state; after the system hardware changes occur, hardware trigger is interrupted, a BIOS SMI program acquires platform configuration information, a BMC completes storage and differentiation display of the configuration information, and the three parts are matched to complete timely and accurate recording of the platform configuration information on a platform body. After the system hardware changes occur, the BIOS can flexibly and diversely set operating paths according to the demands and can set them to be operation-free or display warning information and then continue to operate or continue to operate after a system is paused to wait for safety confirmation made by an administrator; the BMC stores storage information in an EEPROM, the information can be still saved and cannot disappear after power outage, a BMC display interface provides a unified information platform for developers, testers and customers, the communication efficiency is improved, two times of configurations are displayed in a differentiated mode, and the customers can be reminded of hardware change points.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computers, in particular to an alarm method for hardware configuration changes. Background technique [0002] During the research and development process of the server motherboard, a large number of compatibility tests are required. It is necessary to form a platform system with various configurations from various types of CPUs, memory, and different external cards, etc., and then conduct long-term stability and stress tests. Testers should record the platform configuration information. Once a test problem occurs, it can be easily traced and provided to the R&D personnel for analysis. [0003] The server will also conduct a large number of tests before the end customer is officially put into use. After it is put into use, the expansion card will be artificially increased or decreased. These server configuration information changes also need to be recorded. Once the server becomes unstable, it is convenient for the ...
