Embodiment 1

[0034] This embodiment provides a method for upgrading the basic input output system BIOS, such as figure 1 As shown, the method includes S11-S12:

[0035] S11. When the preset BIOS upgrade time arrives;

[0036] S12 , according to a preset upgrade policy corresponding to the BIOS, upgrade according to a unified upgrade process.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the preset BIOS upgrade time arrives, the upgrade is performed according to a unified upgrade process according to the preset upgrade policy corresponding to the BIOS. Adopt the embodiment of the present invention. Improves the ease of use and reliability of server BIOS upgrades, solves the problem of manually configuring and upgrading BIOS, and reduces the cost of manual operation and maintenance.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, the upgrade process includes the following upgrade steps:

[0039] Set the reserved configuration option, send the upgrade file, send the instruction to verify ...

Embodiment 2

[0052] This embodiment specifically describes the methods in the foregoing embodiments, and the intelligent upgrade function realizes the upgrade of the BIOS.

[0053]The upgrade time and upgrade strategy need to be set in advance, and then the upgrade is performed according to the upgrade strategy after the upgrade time is reached. The upgrade of this application is realized by calling the interface. The upgrade steps include:

[0054] (1) Set reserved items;

[0055] Set the BIOS upgrade to retain the BIOS configuration option. When the user does not set the BIOS retention configuration option, it will be automatically set according to the default value; when the setting fails, it will automatically retry. to set.

[0056] (2) Upload the upgrade file;

[0057] If the upload of the BIOS upgrade image file (BIOS upgrade file) fails, wait for a period of time and then re-upload. If the number of uploads reaches the number of retries and the upload has not been successful, t...

Embodiment 3

[0072] This embodiment provides a device for upgrading the BIOS of the basic input and output system. The description in the above method embodiment is also applicable to this embodiment, such as figure 2 As shown, the device includes a judging module 21 and an upgrading module 22, wherein:

[0073] Judging module 21, for judging whether the upgrade time of the preset BIOS arrives;

[0074] The upgrade module 22 is configured to perform upgrade according to a unified upgrade process according to a preset upgrade strategy corresponding to the BIOS when the preset BIOS upgrade time arrives.

[0075] In an optional embodiment, the upgrade process includes the following upgrade steps:

[0076] The upgrade module 22 sets the reserved configuration option, sends the upgrade file, sends an instruction to verify the upgrade file, sends an installation instruction after receiving a successful verification result, and regularly receives the upgrade progress.

[0077] In an optional e...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a device for upgrading a basic input and output system BIOS, which can upgrade the BIOS in batch. The method comprises the following steps: when the upgrade time of the preset BIOS reaches, according to the upgrade strategy corresponding to the preset BIOS, the upgrade is carried out according to a unified upgrade process. By adopting the embodiment of the invention, the upgrading is very troublesome compared with the conventional manual operation which requires one table, the problem that the BIOS needs to be manually allocated and upgraded is solved, andthe cost of manual operation and maintenance is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to computer technology, in particular to a method and device for upgrading the basic input and output system BIOS. Background technique [0002] In the information age, it is becoming more and more important to manage servers, and it is becoming more and more common to manage servers through the baseboard management controller (BMC). BMC supports the industry standard IPMI specification. This specification describes the management functions already built into the motherboard. These functions include: local and remote diagnosis, console support, configuration management, hardware management, and troubleshooting. BIOS functions can be configured through the BMC. [0003] The basic input and output system BIOS is a set of programs solidified on a ROM chip on the main board of the computer. It stores the most important basic input and output programs of the computer, the self-test program after power-on and the system self-starting p...
