BIOS configuration method and apparatus

Abstract

An embodiment of the invention discloses a BIOS configuration method. The method comprises the steps of loading an initramfs.img mirror image made by a user in a pxe network environment created by the user to obtain BIOS configuration information; and after an instruction of configuring BIOS tasks for to-be-configured nodes by the user is received, performing configuration on BIOSs of the to-be-configured nodes according to the obtained BIOS configuration information. The BIOS of each node of a data center is automatically configured in a cloud data operation center in a remote batch manner, so that the working efficiency of configuring the BIOS of each node in the cloud data operation center is improved, a large amount of manpower, material resources and financial resources are saved, the data center is facilitated to be subjected to integrated automated management, the operation level is greatly improved, and high social and economic benefits are achieved. In addition, an embodiment of the invention provides a corresponding realization apparatus. Furthermore, the method has higher practicality, and the apparatus has the corresponding advantages.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of cloud technology, and in particular, to a method and device for configuring BIOS. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of cloud technology, the application of cloud data operation center is born. The cloud data operation center is an integrated solution of cloud computing and cloud storage, which can realize the comprehensive logical resource integration of computing, storage and network. Support online expansion of hardware, plug and play, can manage more than 5,000 servers at the same time, pool storage space of more than 50,000TB, support more than 50,000 virtual resource nodes, and support uninterrupted resource evolution; in addition, the cloud data operation center can Integrated and automated management of the data center greatly improves the operational level. [0003] BIOS (Basic Input Output System) is a set of programs solidified on a ROM chip on the motherboar...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] Due to the large number of servers in the cloud data operation center and the number of stand-alone machines under the servers, manually configuring the BIOS on a stand-alone machine is not only time-consuming and laborious, but manual operation will also bring inevitable mistakes, resulting in low work efficiency and accuracy of the entire data center.
