Problems solved by technology

[0003] In the prior art, field replaceable unit information is generally stored in EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory, electrically erasable programmable read-only memory), through the server BMC (Baseboard Management Controller, baseboard management controller) has the EEPROM Erase and write permissions to change and set field replaceable unit information, but EEPROM can only be initialized and utilized as a general storage space with proprietary writing components, for the structure and circuit design of the server motherboard, and the utilization of the storage space of the EEPROM itself , have a large waste rate; at the same time, burning and storing field replaceable unit information in EEPROM is overly dependent on the existence and stability of BMC structure. In the design of server structure without BMC structure, the information of field replaceable unit Burning can only be done manually through physical hardware. Once the field replaceable unit information changes, it will be extremely cumbersome and difficult to change the field replaceable unit information of the entire batch of servers

Abstract

The invention discloses a field replaceable unit information storage method and a computer readable storage medium. The field replaceable unit information storage method comprises the steps that a preset desktop management interface of an operating system is called to obtain field replaceable unit information; inputting the field replaceable unit information into the SMBIOS information structural body in the operating system according to a preset retention rule; and obtaining the field replaceable unit information structural body from the SMBIOS information structural body and storing the field replaceable unit information structural body in a nonvolatile random access memory in the BIOS flash memory. According to the method, the information storage function of the on-site replaceable unit of the EEPROM can be abandoned physically, the utilization rate of the storage space of the EEPROM is increased, meanwhile, interaction between the BMC and the EEPROM is not involved in the storage process, dependence on the BMC structure when the server stores the information of the on-site replaceable unit is eliminated, the information of the on-site replaceable unit is input by utilizing the BIOS, and the storage efficiency of the on-site replaceable unit is improved. And the information of the on-site replaceable unit can be conveniently changed and managed.

Description
