[0003] All PC (Personal Computer), general-purpose and RACK servers, FRU (Field Replace Unit) field replaceable units that normally display the information of each device, for most nodes need to be refreshed under the system Various motherboard manufacturers, product manufacturers, etc. Information, among which FRU integrates various information into one. At present, most server manufacturers use different refresh tools for single-node local systems to refresh FRU information. For most batches of server refreshes, there is no better batch The refresh method can only be manually refreshed one by one node by node, which increases the workload per capita and slows down the efficiency

Embodiment 1

[0067] A remote refreshing method for batch server FRUs comprises the following steps:

[0068] S1. Build a test platform, establish communication between the remote manager and the baseboard server through the connection unit, and ensure that the BMC IP of the remote manager and each baseboard server in the computer room can be pinged, and the login is valid;

[0069] S2. The remote manager sends a system status query command to the substrate server, and the substrate server performs a system status self-inspection, and the self-inspection determines that the operating system is a linux64-bit operating system, and sends the system self-inspection result back to the remote manager;

[0070] S3. The remote manager configures the out-of-band remote FRU self-test script matching the linux64-bit operating system according to the system status self-test result of the substrate server, first increases the authority of the self-test script.chmod 777flash_fru_selftest.sh, and then exec...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of computer servers, and discloses a remote refresh system and method for batch server FRUs. The system includes a remote manager and a substrate server. The remote manager and the substrate server establish communication through a connection unit. The server performs out-of-band FRU status self-check and out-of-band FRU batch refresh, and the baseboard server is used for system status self-check. The method includes: building a test platform, establishing communication between the remote manager and the substrate server; the substrate server performs system status self-inspection for judging the operating system and bit number of the substrate server; the remote manager performs out-of-band remote FRU self-inspection on the substrate server The script performs self-test; the remote manager executes the out-of-band batch refresh FRU script to refresh the substrate server in batches. The present invention can perform out-of-band refreshing of substrate servers in batches without manual single-node local refreshing one by one, saving refreshing time and improving work efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of computer servers, in particular to a remote refresh system and method for batch server FRUs. Background technique [0002] FRU technology was first used on large-scale equipment such as servers, with IBM at the highest level. Later, FRU technology was transplanted to PCs by Dell, and then manufacturers such as Lenovo also started the pace of FRU. For servers and PCs, in order to save costs, manufacturers divide the equipment into multiple FRUs, ranging from Power Supply, Board Number, to Fan and the like. [0003] All PC (Personal Computer), general-purpose and RACK servers, FRU (Field Replace Unit) field replaceable units that normally display the information of each device, for most nodes need to be refreshed under the system Various motherboard manufacturers, product manufacturers, etc. Information, among which FRU integrates various information into one. At present, most server manufacturers use diff...
