Embodiment Construction

[0028] In order to clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the present invention will be described in detail below through specific implementation modes and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The present invention omits descriptions of common knowledge and processing procedures to avoid unnecessarily limiting the present invention.

[0029] Such as figure 1 Shown, the structural block diagram of a kind of storage method of server BMC configuration data of the present invention, wherein server system comprises control manager BMC and FPGA chip, and FPGA chip interior comprises user logic (user logic) module and UFM IP core (UFM, User Flash Memory, user non-volatile memory; IP core, the full name of intellectual property core (intellectual property core), refers to a reusable module provided by a party in the form of logic units and chip designs.), the user logic and UFM IP The core is connected through the wishbone interface. The wishbone interf...

Abstract

The invention discloses a storage method for server BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) configuration data. The method comprises the following steps that: an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is used for obtaining BMC configuration information, the configuration information is stored in a register, and in a server power failure restarting process, when the BMC is under a dead state, the FPGA reads the configuration information in the register to carry out server partitioned configuration; after the BMC survives, new configuration information is generated; the FPGA compares whether the new configuration information is consistent with the stored configuration information or not; if the new configuration information is consistent with the stored configuration information, an operation is not carried out; and otherwise, the new configuration information is stored, and the new configuration information is utilized to restart the server. Compared with the prior art, the storage method can realize the automatic storage and acquisition of dynamic data, the use ratio of a flash chip is improved, the server can be configured again under a state that the BMC does not need to be waited for surviving, and the stability and the reliability of a system are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of data storage, in particular to a storage method for server BMC configuration data. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of information technology, the application of servers is more extensive, and higher requirements are put forward for the performance configuration of servers. Most of the servers use a management controller (BMC) to perform operations such as remote monitoring, management, and configuration of the entire system. The high-end server independently developed by Inspur realizes the configuration of partitioned 8-cpu servers or dual 4-channel servers via BMC. However, the power-on methods of the above two configurations are different, and the BMC needs to send 4 and 8 configuration bits GPIO 0 (GPIO: General Purpose Input Output, GPIO for short) and GPIO 1 to the chip FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array programmable gate array), FPGA realizes power-on and power-on o...
