[0052] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application. In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, "first", "second", etc. are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0053] The embodiment of the present application discloses a configuration option management method, which improves the management efficiency of configuration options.

[0054] See also Figure 1 , according to an exemplary embodiment, a flowchart of a configuration option management method is shown, such as Figure 1 As shown, including:

[0055] S101: Determine a configuration option modification mode, a target configuration option to be modified, and a configuration value of the target configuration option after modification, and apply the configuration value of the target configuration option after modification; wherein the configuration option modification mode includes a first configuration option modification mode and a second configuration option modification mode, the first configuration option modification mode is a modification mode through a baseboard management controller out-of-band, and the second configuration option modification mode is a modification mode through a setting page of the basic input and output system;

[0056] The execution subject of this embodiment is the basic input and output system of the computer. There are mainly two ways for users to modify BIOS configuration options, namely the first configuration option modification method and the second configuration option modification method. The first configuration option modification method is to modify out-of-band through BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) based on Redfish (a management standard protocol based on HTTPs service), and the second configuration option modification method is to modify directly through the BIOS setup interface. Regardless of which configuration option modification method is used, the BIOS needs to determine the target configuration option that has been modified and the modified configuration value of the target configuration option, and then apply the modified configuration value of the target configuration option.

[0057] As a feasible implementation manner, determining a target configuration option that has been modified and a configuration value of the target configuration option after being modified includes: if the configuration option modification method is the first configuration option modification method, obtaining the target configuration option that has been modified and the configuration value of the target configuration option after being modified from the baseboard management controller; if the configuration option modification method is the second configuration option modification method, determining the target configuration option that has been modified and the configuration value of the target configuration option after being modified in a setting page of the basic input / output system.

[0058] The modification process using the first configuration option modification method is convenient and efficient. Once the BIOS option configuration file on the BMC side changes, the BIOS will immediately read the latest configuration file from the BMC through the Redfish protocol. During the BIOS POST (power-on self-test) process, these new configuration options will take effect, ensuring that the system is initialized according to the user's latest settings.

[0059] The modification process using the second configuration option modification method is more intuitive. Users can directly modify the configuration options in the BIOS setup interface. Similarly, during the BIOS POST (power-on self-test) process, these new configuration options will take effect, ensuring that the system is initialized according to the user's latest settings.

[0060] As a feasible implementation manner, determining that there is a modified target configuration option and the modified configuration value of the target configuration option in the setting page of the basic input / output system includes: determining the configuration options in the setting page of the basic input / output system as current configuration options in sequence, and comparing whether the configuration value of the current configuration option in the setting page is consistent with the current configuration value of the current configuration option in the memory; if so, continuing to use the next configuration option as the current configuration item; if not, determining the current configuration option as the modified target configuration option, and determining the configuration value of the current configuration option in the setting page as the modified configuration value of the target configuration option.

[0061] In a specific implementation, the BIOS will compare the configuration value of each configuration option in the setup page with the current configuration value of the corresponding configuration option in the memory one by one to identify which configuration options have changed. The memory here can be NVRAM (Non-Volatile Random Access Memory), where the current configuration options can be stored in the form of a hardware information table. The changed configuration options will be stored in a specific table so that the currently modified configuration options can be displayed in the BIOS setup interface.

[0062] As a feasible implementation method, comparing whether the configuration value of the current configuration option in the setting page is consistent with the current configuration value of the current configuration option in the memory, includes: passing the configuration value of the current configuration option in the setting page and the current configuration value of the current configuration option in the memory as parameters to the callback function respectively, so as to use the callback function to compare the received parameters.

[0063] In a specific implementation, in the BIOS setup page, the user can set an option to pass the configuration value of the current configuration option in the setup page and the current configuration value of the current configuration option in the memory as parameters to a callback function, and use the callback function for comparison to identify which configuration options have changed during the user's modification process.

[0064] S102: If the configuration option modification mode is the first configuration option modification mode, sending the application result to the baseboard management controller, so that the baseboard management controller records the application result, the target configuration option and the modified configuration value of the target configuration option through a log;

[0065] In a specific implementation, if the first configuration option modification method is adopted, after the BIOS applies the modified configuration value of the target configuration option, it will feed back the application result to the BMC through the redfish protocol, and the BMC is responsible for recording the application result, the target configuration option, and the modified configuration value of the target configuration option in the log. In this way, the user can easily view the current BIOS configuration status to ensure that the system runs as expected.

[0066] S103: If the configuration option modification mode is the second configuration option modification mode, sending the target configuration option and the modified configuration value of the target configuration option to a baseboard management controller, so that the baseboard management controller records the target configuration option and the modified configuration value of the target configuration option through a log.

[0067] In a specific implementation, if the second configuration option modification method is adopted, after the BIOS applies the modified configuration value of the target configuration option, it will send the modified target configuration option and the modified configuration value of the target configuration option to the BMC, which will record it in the log. This mechanism enables users to monitor the configuration status of the BIOS in real time and discover and respond to any potential problems in a timely manner.

[0068] As a feasible implementation, sending the target configuration option and the modified configuration value of the target configuration option to the baseboard management controller includes: generating a first configuration file based on the target configuration option and the modified configuration value of the target configuration option, and sending the first configuration file to the baseboard management controller through a management standard protocol. The first configuration file here can be a file in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format, and the management standard protocol can be Redfish.

[0069] The configuration option management method provided by the embodiment of the present application is that after modifying the configuration option, the baseboard management controller records the modified target configuration option and the modified configuration value of the target configuration option through a log. By remotely accessing the log of the baseboard management controller, it is convenient to understand the changes of the configuration options in real time, simplifying the configuration inspection process, and improving management efficiency. In particular, when the server is continuously operating, configuration monitoring can be performed without interrupting the service. In addition, this embodiment provides significant support for fault diagnosis. When certain system failures occur, the recorded BIOS option configuration changes can help determine the analysis direction of the failure. In the related art, when the system has a downtime problem, it is usually necessary to restart the system to obtain the BIOS configuration, but after the restart, the problem may not reappear, making troubleshooting more difficult. In this embodiment, the user can obtain the configuration change log during system operation, so as to locate and solve the problem more quickly, reducing the diagnostic blind spots caused by the restart.

[0070] The embodiment of the present application discloses a configuration option management method when the first configuration option modification method is adopted, specifically:

[0071] See also Figure 2 , a flowchart of another configuration option management method according to an exemplary embodiment is shown, such as Figure 2 As shown, including:

[0072] S201: When the server is started, the current configuration options are sent to the baseboard management controller so that the configuration options can be modified out-of-band by the baseboard management controller;

[0073] As a feasible implementation, sending the current configuration options to the baseboard management controller includes: generating a second configuration file based on the current configuration options, and sending the second configuration file to the baseboard management controller through a management standard protocol. The second configuration file here can be a file in JSON format, and the management standard protocol can be Redfish.

[0074] S202: After the server is restarted, determine whether there is a modified target configuration option; if there is a modified target configuration option, obtain the modified configuration value of the target configuration option from the baseboard management controller;

[0075] As a feasible implementation method, after modifying the configuration options out-of-band by the baseboard management controller, the baseboard management controller sets the target flag in the memory to a first preset value. When the server is started, the basic input and output system reads the target flag. If the target flag is the first preset value, it is determined that there is a modified configuration option, and the basic input and output system obtains the modified configuration option from the baseboard management controller.

[0076] It should be noted that if the user modifies the configuration option out-of-band, the BMC will set a flag bit (target flag bit) in the memory to the first preset value, such as 1. By default, the target flag bit is the second preset value, such as 0, that is, when the current configuration option is not modified, the target flag bit is the second preset value. After each system startup, the BIOS reads the value of the target flag bit. If the target flag bit is the first preset value, it means that the user has modified the configuration option out-of-band, and the BIOS obtains the modified configuration option from the BMC.

[0077] S203: Apply the modified configuration value of the target configuration option;

[0078] S204: Send the application result to the baseboard management controller, so that the baseboard management controller records the application result, the target configuration option, and the modified configuration value of the target configuration option through a log.

[0079] In this embodiment, each time the system is powered on, the BIOS sends the current option configuration file to the BMC in JSON format via the Redfish protocol. This configuration file can be modified through out-of-band management, such as remote update and management using the Redfish protocol. If the BIOS option configuration file changes, the BIOS obtains the updated configuration file via the Redfish protocol each time the system is powered on and applies these configurations. These new settings take effect during the system startup process. The BIOS feeds back the application results to the BMC, which records these results in a log to facilitate users to view and audit the current BIOS configuration status.

[0080] The embodiment of the present application discloses a configuration option management method when the second configuration option modification method is adopted, specifically:

[0081] See also Figure 3 , a flowchart of another configuration option management method according to an exemplary embodiment is shown, such as Figure 3 As shown, including:

[0082] S301: sequentially determining configuration options in the setting page of the basic input / output system as current configuration options, and comparing whether the configuration value of the current configuration option in the setting page is consistent with the current configuration value of the current configuration option in the memory; if so, continuing to use the next configuration option as the current configuration option; if not, determining the current configuration option as a target configuration option to be modified, and determining the configuration value of the current configuration option in the setting page as the modified configuration value of the target configuration option;

[0083] S302: Apply the modified configuration value of the target configuration option;

[0084] S303: Displaying the target configuration option and the modified configuration value of the target configuration option on the setting page;

[0085] S304: Send the target configuration option and the modified configuration value of the target configuration option to a baseboard management controller, so that the baseboard management controller records the target configuration option and the modified configuration value of the target configuration option through a log.

[0086] In this embodiment, in the BIOS setup page, the user can set an option to use a callback function to compare the configuration options in the setup page with the current configuration options in the memory. This comparison helps identify which BIOS configuration options have changed during the user's modification process. The identified change data will be stored in a table, which is used to display the currently modified BIOS options in the BIOS setup interface. In addition, the system will generate a JSON file and synchronize these changed data to the BMC through the Redfish protocol. After receiving this data, the BMC will record it in the log so that the user can monitor and review the changes in the BIOS configuration in real time.

[0087] This embodiment significantly improves the user experience. After manually modifying the configuration in the BIOS Setup interface, it is often difficult to view all modified BIOS options at once with the traditional method, and the user needs to check them one by one. In this embodiment, the BMC can automatically record all modified BIOS configurations and display them through the Redfish protocol or BMC log. The user can clearly understand all changes and avoid the tedious process of manual verification. This automated recording and reporting mechanism not only improves the user experience, but also reduces the possibility of human error, making BIOS configuration management more intuitive and efficient.
