[0035] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0036] It should be noted that, in the description of the present application, the terms “include”, “contain” or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that the process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. The terms “first”, “second” and the like in the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0037] With the rapid development of server technology, the number of hardware devices connected with the server is also increasing. When the server is started, the hardware devices connected with the server need to be loaded.

[0038] In the related art, when the server is powered on, each hardware device is loaded in turn. If the loading time of a hardware device exceeds the preset maximum loading time, it is determined that the hardware device is loaded abnormally. At this time, the server cannot be normally started.

[0039] At that time, due to the diversification and complication of hardware devices, if there is a hardware device with a long normal loading time among the hardware devices connected to the server, the hardware device may be shut down due to exceeding the preset maximum loading time during normal loading, thereby reducing the startup stability of the server.

[0040] For example, in a server and data center environment, the system needs to support a large number of PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) devices of various types, including network cards, storage controllers, GPU acceleration cards, etc. These devices exhibit significant time variability during the initialization phase. Some devices may require a long loading time to complete complex initialization operations, while some devices can quickly complete loading. If a uniform loading time setting is used for all devices, it may cause some devices to fail to start due to insufficient loading time, or reduce the overall startup efficiency due to excessive waiting time.

[0041] Therefore, how to improve the flexibility of configuration loading time to improve the startup stability and overall startup efficiency of the server is a technical problem to be solved at present.

[0042] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a solution for flexibly setting the loading time of a hardware device. Correspondingly, the specific steps include: first, in response to a server startup instruction, a first loading time configuration list is obtained, the first loading time configuration list including first loading time information corresponding to at least one device identification information; a loading time information query command is sent to a baseboard management controller, and a second loading time configuration list returned by the baseboard management controller based on the query command is received, the second loading time configuration list including second loading time information corresponding to at least one device identification information. Then, for each hardware device, based on the device identification information corresponding to the hardware device, the first loading time configuration list and the second loading time configuration list, the loading time threshold of the loading timer corresponding to the hardware device is configured. Finally, the loading timer corresponding to the hardware device is started, and the hardware device is loaded based on the loading timer until the loading of at least one hardware device is completed.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, for each hardware device, the loading timer corresponding to the hardware device can be started, and the hardware device is loaded based on the loading timer. In this way, by configuring the loading time threshold of each hardware device, the maximum loading time of each hardware device can be flexibly configured. For a hardware device with a longer normal loading time, a larger loading time threshold can be configured. In this way, the hardware device can be prevented from being shut down due to exceeding the preset maximum loading time during normal loading, thereby improving the startup stability of the server. Moreover, the maximum loading time of each hardware device can be flexibly configured. For a hardware device with a shorter normal loading time, a smaller loading time threshold can be configured. In this way, the hardware device can be prevented from waiting for a long time when there is a real exception, thereby improving the startup efficiency of the server.

[0044] In order for those skilled in the art in this technical field to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0045] In combination with the specific application environment architecture or specific hardware architecture on which the server hardware device loading method is executed, the specific application environment architecture or specific hardware architecture is described here.

[0046] Figure 1 The application scenario of the server hardware device loading method provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 1. Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1, the basic input / output system (BIOS) 101 and the baseboard management controller (BMC) 102 in the server can be connected through IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface). When the server is powered on, the basic input / output system 101 can send a query command of loading time information to the baseboard management controller 102. Through the server hardware device loading method of the present application, the loading time threshold of the loading timer corresponding to the hardware device is configured, and the maximum loading time of each hardware device of the server is flexibly configured. In this way, for a hardware device with a shorter normal loading time, a smaller loading time threshold can be configured, and for a hardware device with a longer normal loading time, a larger loading time threshold can be configured. In this way, the hardware device can be prevented from being shut down due to exceeding the preset maximum loading time during normal loading, thereby improving the startup stability of the server.

[0047] Figure 2 The flow of the server hardware device loading method provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 2. Figure One The execution subject of the server hardware device loading method can be a server, and the basic input / output system can be deployed on the server. Figure 2 The method comprises:

[0048] S201, in response to a startup instruction of the server, obtaining a first loading time configuration list, the first loading time configuration list comprising first loading time information corresponding to each of at least one device identification information.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, the first loading time configuration list can be pre-stored in a non-volatile storage module. Accordingly, this step can comprise: in response to the startup instruction of the server, sending a reading instruction to the non-volatile storage module, and obtaining the first loading time configuration list stored in the non-volatile storage module. Optionally, the non-volatile storage module can be NVRAM (Non-Volatile Random Access Memory, non-volatile random access memory).

[0050] Optionally, the device identification information corresponding to the hardware device comprises at least one of the following: a vendor identification, a device identification, a sub-vendor identification and a sub-device identification.

[0051] The vendor identification can be represented as VID (Vendor ID), which is used to identify the manufacturer of the hardware device. The device identification can be represented as DID (Device ID), which is used to identify the model of the hardware device. The sub-vendor identification can be represented as SVID (Subsystem Vendor ID), which is used to identify the subsystem manufacturer of the hardware device. The sub-device identification can be represented as SDID (Subsystem Device ID), which is used to identify the hardware device of different configurations under the same model.

[0052] For example, as shown in the figure, Figure 3 This step can comprise: reading DID, VID, SDID, SVID and the longest loading time of the hardware device from NVRAM through the getVariable function to obtain the first loading time configuration list.

[0053] S202, sending a loading time information query command to the baseboard management controller, and receiving a second loading time configuration list returned by the baseboard management controller based on the query command, the second loading time configuration list comprising second loading time information corresponding to each of at least one device identification information.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, the query command can be an IPMI query command. The IPMI command can be used to manage and monitor the interface of the server hardware.

[0055] In some embodiments, the user can configure the first loading time configuration list and the second loading time configuration list on the baseboard management controller based on the configuration operation of the loading time. Accordingly, the method further comprises: in response to the configuration operation of the loading time, displaying a loading time configuration interface, the loading time configuration interface comprising at least a loading time information adding option; based on the loading time information adding option, obtaining first device identification information and loading time information corresponding to the first device identification information; adding the first device identification information and the loading time information corresponding to the first device identification information to the first loading time configuration list; and sending an adding command of the loading time information to the baseboard management controller, so that the baseboard management controller adds the first device identification information and the loading time information corresponding to the first device identification information to the second loading time configuration list.

[0056] Optionally, based on the loading time information adding option, the first device identification information and the loading time information corresponding to the first device identification information are obtained by: in response to a triggering operation of the loading time information adding option, displaying a loading time information adding interface, the loading time information adding interface comprising a first information input box for inputting device identification information and a second information input box for inputting loading time information; obtaining the first device identification information input by the first information input box and the loading time information input by the second information input box, to obtain the first device identification information and the loading time information corresponding to the first device identification information.

[0057] In the first information input box, there can be a supplier identification input box, a device identification input box, a sub-supplier identification input box and a sub-device identification input box, which are used to input the supplier identification, device identification, sub-supplier identification and sub-device identification of the hardware device, respectively.

[0058] Optionally, before sending the adding command of the loading time information to the baseboard management controller, the method further comprises: displaying an operation confirmation interface, the operation confirmation interface being provided with a "confirm" button and a "cancel" button. In response to a triggering operation of the "confirm" button, the adding command of the loading time information is sent to the baseboard management controller; and in response to a triggering operation of the "cancel" button, no setting is made and the method is returned to the previous page.

[0059] In some embodiments, the loading time configuration interface further comprises a loading time information deletion option; the method further comprises: in response to a triggering operation of the loading time information deletion option, displaying a loading time information deletion interface, the loading time information deletion interface comprising a third information input box for inputting device identification information; obtaining second device identification information input in the third information input box, and deleting the second device identification information and loading time information corresponding to the second device identification information from the first loading time configuration list; and sending a deletion command of the loading time information to the baseboard management controller, so that the baseboard management controller deletes the second device identification information and loading time information corresponding to the second device identification information from the second loading time configuration list.

[0060] In some embodiments, in response to the triggering operation of the loading time information deletion option, displaying the loading time information deletion interface comprises: in response to the triggering operation of the loading time information deletion option, popping up a deletion information interface, the deletion information interface displaying “whether to delete all information” and “yes” and “no” buttons.

[0061] Optionally, in response to the triggering operation of the “yes” button, deleting the first loading time configuration list and sending a deletion command of all loading time information to the baseboard management controller, so that the baseboard management controller deletes the second loading time configuration list. Optionally, in response to the triggering operation of the “no” button, displaying the loading time information deletion interface.

[0062] The third information input box can comprise: a supplier identification input box, a device identification input box, a sub-supplier identification input box and a sub-device identification input box, which are used to input the supplier identification, the device identification, the sub-supplier identification and the sub-device identification of the hardware device, respectively.

[0063] In some embodiments, before deleting the loading time information, the method further comprises: displaying an operation confirmation interface, the operation confirmation interface being provided with a “confirm” button and a “cancel” button. In response to the triggering operation of the “confirm” button, the second device identification information and the loading time information corresponding to the second device identification information are deleted from the first loading time configuration list, and a deletion command of the loading time information is sent to the baseboard management controller, so that the baseboard management controller deletes the second device identification information and the loading time information corresponding to the second device identification information from the second loading time configuration list. In response to the triggering operation of the “cancel” button, no setting is made and the previous page is returned.

[0064] In the embodiments of the present application, when the stored device identification information is large, the operation confirmation interface is displayed before deleting the loading time information, so as to avoid deleting the loading time information corresponding to other device identification information due to input error of the second device identification information, thereby improving the accuracy of deleting the loading time information corresponding to the second device identification information.

[0065] In some embodiments, the loading time configuration interface can further include a preset area for displaying the first loading time configuration list and the second loading time configuration list. Accordingly, the method further includes: in response to the configuration operation of the loading time, obtaining the first loading time configuration list, and sending a query command of the loading time information to the baseboard management controller, receiving the second loading time configuration list returned by the baseboard management controller based on the query command, and displaying the first loading time configuration list and the second loading time configuration list in the preset area of the loading time configuration interface.

[0066] Optionally, when backing to the previous page, the first loading time configuration list and the second loading time configuration list displayed in the preset area can be updated.

[0067] S203, for each hardware device, based on the device identification information corresponding to the hardware device, the first loading time configuration list and the second loading time configuration list, configuring the loading time threshold of the loading timer corresponding to the hardware device.

[0068] In some embodiments, this step can include: based on the first loading time configuration list and the second loading time configuration list, synchronizing information of the first loading time configuration list and the second loading time configuration list; for each hardware device, according to the device identification information corresponding to the hardware device, determining the first loading time information corresponding to the device identification information from the first loading time configuration list; based on the first loading time information corresponding to the device identification information, configuring the loading time threshold of the loading timer corresponding to the hardware device.

[0069] Optionally, based on the first loading time configuration list and the second loading time configuration list, synchronizing information of the first loading time configuration list and the second loading time configuration list includes: comparing whether the first loading time configuration list and the second loading time configuration list are consistent; if consistent, not synchronizing information of the first loading time configuration list and the second loading time configuration list, if not consistent, synchronizing information of the first loading time configuration list and the second loading time configuration list.

[0070] Optionally, as shown in Figure 3 synchronizing information of the first loading time configuration list and the second loading time configuration list includes: determining whether the first loading time configuration list is null; if the first loading time configuration list is null, updating the first loading time configuration list to the second loading time configuration list, and storing the updated first loading time configuration list; if the first loading time configuration list is not null, sending an update instruction of the loading time configuration list to the baseboard management controller, so that the baseboard management controller updates the second loading time configuration list to the first loading time configuration list.

[0071] S204. Start the loading timer corresponding to the hardware device, and load the hardware device based on the loading timer until at least one hardware device has finished loading.

[0072] In some embodiments, starting a loading timer corresponding to the hardware device and loading the hardware device based on the loading timer includes: starting a loading timer corresponding to the hardware device; if the hardware device is loaded and the loading time obtained by the hardware device has not reached the loading time threshold configured by the loading timer, stopping the loading timer and ending the loading process of the hardware device; if the loading time obtained by the hardware device has reached the loading time threshold configured by the loading timer but the hardware device has not been loaded, obtaining the timeout processing mode corresponding to the hardware device and loading the hardware device according to the timeout processing mode.

[0073] For example, during the loading process, if a hardware device finishes loading, the timer is immediately stopped, the loading process for that hardware device ends, and the loading of the next hardware device continues. If the timer countdown ends before the hardware device finishes loading, a timeout handling mechanism is triggered. In this case, the timeout handling module can obtain the timeout handling mode corresponding to the hardware device and load the hardware device according to the timeout handling mode.

[0074] Optionally, loading a hardware device according to a timeout handling mode includes: if the timeout handling mode is a reload mode, resetting the loading state of the hardware device and the loading timer corresponding to the hardware device, and reloading the hardware device based on the loading timer; if the timeout handling mode is an abort loading mode, skipping the hardware device and continuing to load the next hardware device.

[0075] For example, the reload mode can be represented as Reload mode, and the abandon mode can be represented as Abandon mode.

[0076] In some embodiments, before resetting the loading state of the hardware device and the loading timer corresponding to the hardware device, the method further includes: obtaining the loading count of the hardware device; if the loading count reaches a preset loading count, then skipping the hardware device and continuing to load the next hardware device.

[0077] In this embodiment of the application, the value of the preset loading count is not specifically limited. For example, as shown... Figure 3 As shown, the preset number of loading attempts can be 3. If the hardware device loads successfully during the 3 reloading attempts, the process continues with the next hardware device; if all 3 attempts fail, the loading of that hardware device is stopped, it is skipped, and the process continues with the next hardware device.

[0078] It should be noted that before obtaining the timeout processing mode corresponding to the hardware device, the timeout processing mode corresponding to the hardware device can be configured. Correspondingly, the specific configuration method can include: in response to the configuration operation of the timeout processing mode, displaying a timeout processing mode configuration interface, the timeout processing mode configuration interface including a fourth information input box for inputting device identification information, a reload mode option and an abandon loading mode option; in response to the triggering operation of the reload mode option, obtaining the fourth device identification information input in the fourth information input box, and configuring the timeout processing mode of the hardware device corresponding to the fourth device identification information as the reload mode; in response to the triggering operation of the abandon loading mode option, configuring the timeout processing mode of the hardware device corresponding to the fourth device identification information as the abandon loading mode.

[0079] The fourth information input box can include: a supplier identification input box, a device identification input box, a sub-supplier identification input box and a sub-device identification input box, which are used to input the supplier identification, device identification, sub-supplier identification and sub-device identification of the hardware device in sequence.

[0080] The flow of the loading method of the server hardware device will be introduced below through a specific example. As shown in Figure 3 The steps of the loading method of the server hardware device include:

[0081] Step 1, the server is powered on.

[0082] Step 2, read DID, VID, SDID, SVID and the longest loading time of the hardware device from NVRAM through the getVariable function to obtain a first loading time configuration list.

[0083] Step 3, send a query command of loading time information to the baseboard management controller to obtain a second loading time configuration list.

[0084] Step 4, compare whether the first loading time configuration list and the second loading time configuration list are consistent. If they are consistent, go to step 5; if they are not consistent, continue to determine whether the first loading time configuration list is empty. If it is not empty, assign the first loading time configuration list to the second loading time configuration list, and update the related information to the baseboard management controller synchronously. If it is empty, assign the second loading time configuration list to the first loading time configuration list.

[0085] Step 5, determine whether there is loading timeout setting information. If there is loading timeout setting information, obtain the loading timeout setting information, otherwise, do not obtain.

[0086] Step 6: For each hardware device to be loaded, the control module first acquires the device identification information of the hardware device, and judges whether there is first loading time information of the hardware device in the first loading time configuration list.

[0087] Step 7: If there is no first loading time information, loading is performed in the default loading mode, the timer is not started, and the loading of the hardware device is directly performed. After the loading is completed, the next hardware device is processed.

[0088] Step 8: If there is first loading time information, a countdown timer is started, and the longest startup time corresponding to the hardware device (i.e., the first loading time information) is assigned to the timer, and then the loading of the hardware device is started.

[0089] Step 9: During the loading process, if the hardware device is loaded, the timer is immediately stopped, the loading process of the device is ended, and the next device is processed.

[0090] Step 10: If the timer countdown ends and the hardware device is not loaded, a timeout processing mechanism is triggered for further processing.

[0091] Step 11: The timeout processing module acquires the timeout processing mode. If the timeout processing mode is set to the Reload mode, the loading state of the current hardware device is rolled back (i.e., restored to the system state before the device is loaded), and then the loading of the hardware device is restarted. This process is repeated at most three times. If the hardware device is successfully loaded in the three reloading processes, the next hardware device is processed. If the three reloading processes all fail, the loading of the hardware device is stopped, the hardware device is skipped, and the next hardware device is processed.

[0092] Step 12: If the timeout processing mode is set to the Abandon mode, the loading information of the hardware device is rolled back, and then the loading of the hardware device is directly skipped, and the next hardware device is processed.

[0093] Step 13: When the loading processes of all hardware devices are completed, the server continues the subsequent startup process until the startup is completed.

[0094] The application provides a loading method of a server hardware device. In response to a start-up instruction of a server, a first loading time configuration list is obtained, the first loading time configuration list comprising first loading time information corresponding to each of at least one device identification information; a query command of loading time information is sent to a baseboard management controller, and a second loading time configuration list returned by the baseboard management controller based on the query command is received, the second loading time configuration list comprising second loading time information corresponding to each of at least one device identification information; for each hardware device, a loading time threshold of a loading timer corresponding to the hardware device is configured based on the device identification information corresponding to the hardware device, the first loading time configuration list and the second loading time configuration list; the loading timer corresponding to the hardware device is started, and the hardware device is loaded based on the loading timer until the loading of the at least one hardware device is completed. In the embodiment of the application, for each hardware device, the loading timer corresponding to the hardware device can be started, and the hardware device can be loaded based on the loading timer. In this way, by configuring the loading time threshold of each hardware device, the loading duration of each hardware device can be flexibly configured. For a hardware device with a longer normal loading time, a larger loading time threshold can be configured, so that the hardware device can be prevented from being shut down due to exceeding the preset maximum loading duration during normal loading, thereby improving the start-up stability of the server. Moreover, the loading duration of each hardware device can be flexibly configured, so that for a hardware device with a shorter normal loading time, a smaller loading time threshold can be configured, so that the hardware device can be prevented from waiting for a long time when there is a real abnormality, thereby improving the start-up efficiency of the server.

[0095] Figure 4 The loading method of the server hardware device provided in the embodiment of the application Figure One The execution subject of the loading method of the server hardware device can be a server, and a baseboard management controller can be deployed on the server. As shown in Figure 4 The method comprises the following steps.

[0096] S401, in response to receiving a loading time information adding command sent by a basic input and output system of a server, first device identification information and loading time information corresponding to the first device identification information carried by the adding command are obtained.

[0097] S402, the first device identification information and the loading time information corresponding to the first device identification information are added to a second loading time configuration list.

[0098] The adding method of the loading time information will be introduced through a specific example. As shown in Figure 5 The specific steps comprise the following steps.
