Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, with the diversified applications of customers, especially some customized needs of large Internet customers, hard disks will inevitably have some problems, so hard disk manufacturers will upgrade hard disk FW (FirmWare, firmware version), but due to the huge number of customer hard disks, It is very important to upgrade the hard disk FW online, but some BAT Internet customers customize the OS, the Kernel version is relatively low, and the FW upgrade tool of the hard disk manufacturer needs a specific dependency package of the OS to be installed normally, which is particularly complicated

Embodiment Construction

[0029] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention, the following will briefly introduce the accompanying drawings that need to be used in the embodiments. Obviously, the accompanying drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the present invention. For Those of ordinary skill in the art can also obtain other drawings based on these drawings without making creative efforts.

[0030] The hard disk FW online update method of the present invention is applicable to linux and Centos low-kernel version operating systems and general operating systems; it is realized by using the hdparm command under Linux, and the script uses the hdparm command to perform batch online parallel refreshing, and the actual measurement of 18 hard disks takes less than 1 minute Time, the refresh speed is faster and the efficiency is higher.

[0031] The hdparm command under Linux is used to obtain or set the parameters of ...

Abstract

The invention provides a method and a system for online update of hard disk FW under an OS (operating system) with a low Kernel version. According to the method, a test script is copied to the OS, andthe quantity of hard disks corresponding to software is modified; a folder where the test script is located is switched to, a hard disk online firmware version refresh script is run to start firmwareversion online refresh; and a checking script is run to check whether firmware version refresh is completed, and a machine is rebooted after refresh is completed. Through the technical scheme, operation is easy, the automation degree is high, practicability is high, manpower can be saved, and when hard disk firmware version modification occurs, the method can be used for hard disk inventory processing, production and online refresh as well as client online update.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of servers, in particular to a method and a system for updating hard disk FW online under a low Kernel version OS. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development and growth of Inspur's server industry, as the largest server supplier in China, the server market has covered various fields, especially mainstream fields such as finance and the Internet. With the rapid development of the Internet, high security of information and high reliability of the system Security has increasingly become the most concerned thing for companies, enterprises, and governments. As the main carrier of data storage, hard disks have received more and more attention to their stability and reliability. Therefore, when using hard disks on our servers, we must ensure that customers Data security and ensuring product quality. [0003] However, with the diversified applications of customers, especially some customized need...
