Method, device and controlled terminal for batch refreshing of server node firmware

Abstract

The embodiment of the application provides a method, a device and a controlled terminal for batch refreshing of server node firmware. The method comprises the following steps: determining whether thenetwork states of a CMC and a BMC of a cabinet are normal; obtaining the IP information of the CMC to be updated, and determining a master CMC and a plurality of slave CMCs; the master CMC uploading the firmware image and sending the firmware image to the slave CMC, and the slave CMC upgrading the firmware in the respective BMC, the master CMC receiving the upgrade information sent by the slave CMC and monitoring the upgrade information of the slave CMC, wherein the master CMC and a plurality of slave CMCs are accessed to the same local area network. The application upgrades a plurality of cabinets at the same time under the condition of batch upgrading of a whole cabinet of a multi-frame server, monitors and uniformly controls the updating situation of a plurality of nodes in one CMC at the same time, reduces the batch refresh time of the server nodes, and improves the stability and controllability of the cabinet server.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of firmware upgrades, in particular to a method, device and controlled terminal for batch refreshing server node firmware. Background technique [0002] As users' demand for server performance increases, users' demands for server computing nodes are increasing. Compared with traditional servers, the whole rack server has great advantages in the integration and management of nodes, and it has become more and more extensive in practical applications. The entire rack server adopts centralized power supply, centralized heat dissipation, unified management of computing nodes, and modular design of computing resources and storage resources. At the same time, the entire rack server uniformly manages a large number of nodes. Comprehensive management makes it more convenient for users to update and maintain computing nodes. [0003] Usually in a computer room, there are many whole cabinet servers that need to be ma...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The existing technology can perform batch firmware updates on individual entire cabinets, which reduces the overall refresh time. However, the refresh time of a cabinet can range from a few minutes to more than ten minutes. It takes too much time to refresh another cabinet after refreshing one cabinet, which will seriously affect the early deployment and later maintenance work
