Abstract

The invention discloses a batch refreshing method for firmware (FW) of non-volatile memory (NVME) disks. The method comprises the following steps of: setting up a refreshing environment and configuring FW refreshing tools and FW files, the versions of which are needed to be refreshed, for all nodes of an entire cabinet; and obtaining the in-place status of a NVME disk by a major node and refreshing the corresponding FW of the NVME disk according to the in-place condition of the NVME disk. Compared with the prior art, the method disclosed by the invention has the advantages of realizing batch and automatic refreshing of the FW of the NVME disk, greatly shortening the FW refreshing time and reducing the error rate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to a method for refreshing NVME disk FW in batches. Background technique [0002] Firmware, Firmware, referred to as FW, is a program written into EROM, erasable read-only memory or EEPROM, electrically erasable programmable read-only memory. Refers to the device "driver" stored inside the device. Through the firmware, the operating system can implement the operation of a specific machine according to the standard device driver. For example, CD-ROM drives and recorders have internal firmware. Some hardware devices have no other software except firmware, so the firmware also determines the function and performance of the hardware device. [0003] The Smart Rack cabinet is a new type of server that provides customers with high-performance and high-reliability services through a group of independent nodes sharing storage space and communicating with each other. Due to the large num...
