Abstract

The invention discloses an update method for a server cabinet and the server cabinet. The method comprises the steps of receiving a first external storage medium through a first external interface of the server cabinet; reading a configuration file stored in the first external storage medium; determining a part, requiring to be updated, in the server cabinet according to the configuration file; according to the determined part requiring to be updated, reading corresponding update information from the first external storage medium; updating the corresponding part requiring to be updated by using the read update information.

Description

technical field [0001] This application relates to updating methods and server cabinets. Background technique [0002] In the current server cabinet projects such as Scorpio (Scorpio) server cabinets, the firmware refresh method of RMC (RackManagement Controller, rack management controller) and MP (Mid-Plane, middle layer unit) is usually connected by the user through the network on the RMC BMC, and then upload and flash the firmware through the Web UI (Web User Interface) of the BMC. However, network transmission has high requirements on the network environment, and it cannot be used in specific situations (such as no network or no way to know the IP address of the BMC on the RMC; when the factory is in mass production; when the user's computer room is initially set up). [0003] Therefore, it is desired to provide an updating method and a server cabinet, which can update components in the server cabinet more conveniently and reliably. Contents of the invention [0004]...
