Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a device for a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) with external upgrading. The method comprises the steps of: loading an initramfs mirror image through a pxe server; downloading an upgrading file and an upgrading tool needed for upgrading of the BMC according to parameters of a configuration file; determining a command parameter for upgrading through the upgrading file and the upgrading tool, and establishing a corresponding upgrading process according to the command parameter; and filtering and selecting a to-be-upgraded server node, and realizing the upgrading of the BMC according to the server node and the upgrading process. According to the method and the device for the BMC with external upgrading provided by the invention, the upgrading of the BMC can be rapidly and safely realized in batches. Through batch upgrading of the BMC, an error caused by manual operation is avoided and the reliability of the upgrading of the BMC is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cloud data, in particular to a method and device for upgrading BMC out of band. Background technique [0002] At present, cloud computing is gradually recognized by the industry, and cloud is gradually realized and put into practice. Infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, and software as a service have all been successfully implemented and entered the commercial stage. For the servers already purchased by the data center, the motherboard cannot guarantee compatibility with new components and does not have new functions. However, the upgrade of the mainboard BMC is a dangerous and difficult thing, and if it is not done properly, it will cause damage to the mainboard. And the motherboard provider does not provide a method to upgrade BMCs in batches, and the probability of damage caused by upgrading BMCs one by one increases. Contents of the invention [0003] The purpose of the present inve...
