Problems solved by technology

[0003] There are generally two traditional upgrade methods, one is one-to-one upgrade, operation and maintenance personnel upgrade each BMC one by one, this method is abandoned when deploying a large number of servers; the other is batch upgrade, generally using running scripts , that is, all BMCs access the computers of operation and maintenance personnel. When deploying a large-scale full-rack server, thousands of BMCs access the same device at the same time, which is likely to cause network congestion, greatly lower transmission speed, and increase update failures. chance of

Embodiment Construction

[0028] The technical solutions of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention, not to limit the present invention.

[0029] The present invention proposes a method for updating and managing BMC firmware of a rack server. The purpose of the invention is to refresh the BMC of the rack in batches through the centralized monitoring and management unit (RMC, Rack Management Controller) of the rack server, and the RMC will automatically update All BMCs perform refresh progress detection, etc.

[0030] The feature of the present invention is that the BMC firmware is uploaded to the management level server, and then distributed to the RMC by the management level server. Just upload it to the management-level server, and RMC is responsible for all BMC firmware updates, without manually refr...

Abstract

The invention provides a method and a system for rack server BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) firmware update management. The method comprises the following steps: BMC firmware is uploaded to a management level server; the management level server distributes the BMC firmware to an RMC (Rack Management Controller); the RMC checks the firmware; and after check, all BMCs in the rack begin to be refreshed. In the whole process, a user only needs to upload the firmware to the management level server, the RMC is responsible for updating all BMC firmware, and there is no need to manually refresh the BMCs in turn. The scheme saves the work time, and greatly improves the efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computers, in particular to a method and system for updating and managing the BMC firmware of a cabinet server. Background technique [0002] The BMC generally includes the web, and the operation and maintenance personnel can manage the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller, Baseboard Management Controller) through the web; similarly, the web also provides an interface for upgrading the BMC, and the patent of the present invention makes full use of the web interface to realize Batch upgrade management of BMC. [0003] There are generally two traditional upgrade methods, one is one-to-one upgrade, operation and maintenance personnel upgrade each BMC one by one, this method is abandoned when deploying a large number of servers; the other is batch upgrade, generally using running scripts , that is, all BMCs access the computers of operation and maintenance personnel. When deploying a large-scale full-rack server, thou...
