Problems solved by technology

However, for a large server, it takes a long time to restart and re-execute the process before the BDS stage, especially the stage of platform initialization, so once there is a need to re-select the mode, a lot of time will be wasted, which will affect the The efficiency of normal startup of the server may even cause unnecessary losses in some special scenarios (such as when the server needs to be started quickly and urgently)

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a device for optimizing a UEFI to guide startup. The method comprises: an interrupt reset function instruction is added, and an interrupt flag key is specified;the server is powered on and started, and power-on and platform initialization are executed until a BDS stage is entered; one of a plurality of specified modes is selected to continue the startup operation according to the indication of the BDS stage, and the state signal of the interrupt flag key is monitored; and, in response to the interrupt flag key being triggered during continued booting, the current operation is interrupted and the BDS stage is reset to indicate reselection of one of a plurality of specified modes. According to the invention, an existing UEFI boot startup process is optimized; under the condition that the mode needs to be reselected, restarting is not needed, and the current operation can be interrupted and the BDS stage reselection mode can be returned only by triggering a pre-assigned interruption flag key, so the flexibility and operability of server starting are guaranteed, and the efficiency of server starting is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of servers. The present invention further relates to a method and device for optimizing UEFI boot booting. Background technique [0002] In the startup stage of the server, the currently popular UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) system has many advantages. The UEFI boot process is divided into multiple stages, including power-on, platform initialization, operating system loading, and disaster recovery. In these stages, the platform initialization stage performs most of the system initialization work in the server startup stage, so this stage requires a lot of complicated work. After that, UEFI also stipulates that the boot device selection (BDS, Boot Device Selection) stage needs to be executed, the boot strategy is executed, and a mode is selected according to the boot, such as Setup (setting) or Boot Menu (boot menu) or PXE Boot (pre-boot execution envir...
