Abstract

The invention discloses a method for enabling an x2APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller) by a hot-add CPU (Central Processing Unit), CPUs and a server system. The method comprises the steps that an SBSP (System Boot Strap Processor) of a first CPU stores a node ID of a second CPU in a synchronous register; a PBSP (Processor Boot Strap Processor) of the second CPU determines that the node ID of the second CPU is stored in the synchronous register; an x2APIC ID of the PBSP of the second CPU is obtained by utilizing the node ID and a default APIC ID of a PBSP of the hot-add CPU; a register corresponding to the PBSP enabling the second CPU is configured; the SBSP sends a fixed-point IPI (Inter-Processor Interrupt) to the PBSP of the second CPU through the x2APIC ID of the second CPU; and the SBSP collects x2APIC IDs of the PBSP of the second CPU and all APs (Application Processors). According to the method, the CPUs and the server system, the operation of enabling the x2APIC by the hot-add CPU is effectively realized when the hot-add CPU and the CPU where the SBSP is located are located at different nodes, and a realization mode is simple.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of storage technology, in particular to a method for hot adding CPU to enable x2APIC and a server system. Background technique [0002] With the development of the server industry, the requirements for system stability are getting higher and higher, and the system fault tolerance is becoming more and more important. In order to realize the fault tolerance capability of the system, the servers released by the server manufacturers have the central processing unit (full name in English: Central Processing Unit, English abbreviation: CPU) hot-swappable, memory hot-swappable, PCI-E (PCI-Express) device hot-swappable The unplugging feature has become the competitiveness of the server. At present, CPU hot-swapping has become an indispensable feature in high-end server systems. [0003] Generally speaking, a server system is composed of multiple CPUs. When one or more CPUs of a server system have a fatal error and need to be...
