Abstract

The invention discloses a firmware loading method of a BMC. The firmware loading method comprises the following steps: dividing Flash into two partitions, and respectively burning firmware in the two partitions; in response to BMC startup, acquiring startup parameters; determining a corresponding partition according to address information in the starting parameters, and loading firmware from the corresponding partition; and in response to detecting that the BMC fails, restarting the BMC, and loading the firmware in the another partition. The invention further discloses a system, computer equipment and a readable storage medium. According to the scheme provided by the invention, the Flash is partitioned and the firmware is respectively stored, so that when the firmware version of a certain partition fails, the partition can be switched to another partition, the normal operation of the system is guaranteed, and the loss caused by instability and even paralysis of the system is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of BMC, in particular to a BMC firmware loading method, system, device and storage medium. Background technique [0002] With the continuous high-speed update and iteration of technology, whether it can efficiently monitor the running status of the server and record the running log of the server has become an important factor for customers to choose services. Among them, BMC (Baseboard Manager Controller, baseboard management controller) is the most important firmware in the server to realize efficient monitoring and record its running status. Therefore, whether the firmware version of BMC can run stably has become the most important option for customers. . [0003] The current storage device generally has only one BMC per controller, and one BMC only has one BMC firmware version. When the BMC firmware version fails, the entire node cannot operate normally. Contents of the invention [0004] In view of this, in or...
