[0002] The Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) is a unique management controller for servers. BMC can monitor the health status of each server it manages and obtain various related information of each server, so that operation and maintenance personnel can understand the operating status of each server in a timely manner and ensure the normal operation of each server.

[0003] The Base Input Output System (BIOS) of each server managed by the BMC sends the attribute file and the configuration file to the BMC. The operation and maintenance personnel can understand the current configuration of the BIOS of each server based on the attribute file and configuration file stored in the BMC, and can also modify the configuration of the BIOS of each server based on real-time business needs and generate a modified configuration file so that the BIOS of each server can obtain the modified configuration file from the BMC when the server is started next time, and complete the configuration modification based on the modified configuration file.

[0004] In the related art, the BMC and the BIOS of each server perform file transfers via the server management standard Redfish. Since the capacity of the BIOS attribute files and configuration files is large, the file transfer time is long, which slows down the server startup speed.

[0057] Optionally, the BIOS configuration information corresponding to the server is configuration information of each parameter to be configured contained in the basic input / output system BIOS pre-stored in the server. The configuration information of the parameter to be configured includes the name of the parameter to be configured and the parameter value corresponding to the parameter to be configured.

[0058] Optionally, generating a compressed BIOS attribute file and a compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server according to the BIOS attribute information and BIOS configuration information corresponding to the server includes: obtaining the BIOS attribute information and BIOS configuration information corresponding to the server; generating a BIOS attribute file corresponding to the server according to the BIOS attribute information corresponding to the server; generating a BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server according to the BIOS configuration information corresponding to the server; and using a preset compression algorithm to compress the BIOS attribute file and the BIOS configuration file, respectively, to obtain a compressed BIOS attribute file and a compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server.

[0059] Optionally, obtaining BIOS attribute information and BIOS configuration information corresponding to the server includes: reading BIOS attribute information and BIOS configuration information corresponding to the server from a storage device in the server. The storage device in the server may be software and / or hardware in the server for storing various types of information related to the server. The BIOS attribute information and BIOS configuration information corresponding to the server are stored in a storage device in the server. The storage device includes but is not limited to a non-volatile memory.

[0060] Optionally, generating a BIOS attribute file corresponding to the server according to the BIOS attribute information corresponding to the server includes: establishing a file for storing the BIOS attribute information corresponding to the server; wherein the file format includes but is not limited to a data exchange format (JavaScript Object Notation, JSON); filling the BIOS attribute information corresponding to the server into the file to obtain a BIOS attribute file corresponding to the server. The BIOS attribute file corresponding to the server is a file that stores the BIOS attribute information corresponding to the server.

[0061] Optionally, generating a BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server according to the BIOS configuration information corresponding to the server includes: establishing a file for storing the BIOS configuration information corresponding to the server; wherein the file format includes but is not limited to a data exchange format (JavaScript Object Notation, JSON); filling the BIOS configuration information corresponding to the server into the file to obtain a BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server. The BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server is a file that stores the BIOS configuration information corresponding to the server.

[0062] Optionally, the preset compression algorithm includes but is not limited to the file compression algorithm GZip and the compression method Lempel-Ziv. The compressed BIOS attribute file corresponding to the server is the BIOS attribute file corresponding to the server after compression. The compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server is the BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server after compression.

[0063] Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, the basic input and output system BIOS of the server can automatically generate a BIOS attribute file and a BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server after the first startup process of the server is completed, and compress the BIOS attribute file and the BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server to reduce the capacity of the BIOS attribute file and the BIOS configuration file, thereby improving the transmission efficiency of subsequent file transmission processes.

[0064] Optionally, the baseboard management controller BMC is used to manage the server. A communication connection between the baseboard management controller BMC and the basic input and output system BIOS of the server is established in advance.

[0065] Optionally, the file upload interface is an interface based on HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) provided by the baseboard management controller BMC, and is used to receive files or other data sent by the basic input and output system BIOS through the HyperText Transfer Protocol.

[0066] Optionally, the basic input / output system BIOS sends the compressed BIOS attribute file and the compressed BIOS configuration file to the baseboard management controller BMC through a file upload interface provided by the BMC using a hypertext transfer protocol. The BMC receives the compressed BIOS attribute file and the compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server sent by the basic input / output system BIOS of the server using a hypertext transfer protocol through the file upload interface. Then the BMC stores the compressed BIOS attribute file and the compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server in a file storage module.

[0067] Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention can compress the BIOS attribute file and the BIOS configuration file before transferring and storing the file after the first startup process of the server is completed, thereby reducing the file transmission time between the BIOS and the BMC of the server, improving the server startup speed, avoiding the BIOS attribute file and the BIOS configuration file from occupying a large storage space in the BMC, and saving BMC storage space.

[0068] Optionally, the file storage module is software and / or hardware in the BMC for storing compressed BIOS attribute files and compressed BIOS configuration files corresponding to each server managed by the BMC.

[0069] Optionally, the user obtains a compressed BIOS attribute file and a compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server from the file storage module of the BMC through a terminal device, and decompresses the compressed BIOS attribute file and the compressed BIOS configuration file using a decompression algorithm corresponding to the compression format of the compressed BIOS attribute file and the compressed BIOS configuration file to obtain a BIOS attribute file and a BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server, thereby determining the name, function description information, parameter value range of each parameter to be configured contained in the basic input and output system BIOS in the server, and the parameter value of the parameter to be configured in the pre-stored BIOS configuration file.

[0070] Optionally, if the parameter value of the parameter to be configured in the pre-stored configuration information cannot meet the business requirements, the user can modify the parameter value of the parameter to be configured in the BIOS configuration file according to the business requirements to obtain a modified BIOS configuration file, and use a preset compression algorithm to compress the modified BIOS configuration file to obtain a modified compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server. Then, the modified compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server is uploaded to the BMC through the terminal device.

[0071] Optionally, the modification status of the BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server is set in the BMC, and is used to indicate whether the user has uploaded the modified compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server to the BMC. The BIOS configuration file modification status includes unmodified and modified. In the initial state, the modification status of the BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server is unmodified. When the BMC detects the modified compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server uploaded by the user, it stores the modified compressed BIOS configuration file to the file storage module, and updates the modification status of the BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server to modified.

[0072] Optionally, during the current startup process of the server, the BIOS sends a file status query request to the baseboard management controller BMC, requesting the BMC to feedback the modification status of the BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server. When the BMC detects the file status query request sent by the basic input and output system BIOS of the server, it feeds back the modification status of the BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server to the BIOS.

[0073] Optionally, if the modification status of the BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server is not modified, indicating that the user has not uploaded the modified compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server to the BMC, the BIOS directly sets the parameter value corresponding to each parameter to be configured contained in the BIOS and stored in the server to the parameter value corresponding to the parameter to be configured in the BIOS, thereby completing the BIOS parameter configuration process during this server startup process.

[0074] Optionally, if the modification status of the BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server is modified, it indicates that the user has uploaded the modified compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server to the BMC. The BIOS needs to download the modified compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server from the BMC, and perform parameter configuration according to the modified compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server, thereby completing the BIOS parameter configuration process during the server startup process.

[0075] Step 102: When it is detected that the modification status of the BIOS configuration file fed back by the BMC is modified, a modified compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server is downloaded from a file storage module of the BMC using a hypertext transfer protocol through a file download interface provided by the BMC.

[0076] Optionally, the file download interface is an interface based on the Hypertext Transfer Protocol provided by the baseboard management controller BMC, and is used to download files or other data from a file storage module of the baseboard management controller BMC.

[0077] Optionally, when the basic input / output system BIOS detects that the modification status of the BIOS configuration file fed back by the BMC is modified, the basic input / output system BIOS downloads the modified compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server from the file storage module through the file download interface provided by the BMC using the hypertext transfer protocol.

[0078] Step 103: Perform parameter configuration according to the modified compressed BIOS configuration file.

[0079] Optionally, the parameter configuration according to the modified compressed BIOS configuration file includes: using a decompression algorithm corresponding to the compression format of the modified compressed BIOS configuration file to decompress the modified compressed BIOS configuration file to obtain a modified BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server; and configuring the parameters to be configured in the basic input and output system BIOS according to the modified BIOS configuration file.

[0080] Optionally, configuring the parameters to be configured in the basic input / output system BIOS according to the modified BIOS configuration file includes: the BIOS sets the parameter values ​​corresponding to the parameters to be configured in the modified BIOS configuration file to the parameter values ​​corresponding to the parameters to be configured in the BIOS, thereby completing the BIOS parameter configuration process during the current server startup process. The modified BIOS configuration file is a modified compressed BIOS configuration file after decompression processing.

[0081] Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the basic input and output system BIOS of the server can automatically complete the BIOS parameter configuration process during the current server startup process according to the modified compressed BIOS configuration file, thereby improving the server startup efficiency.

[0082] Step 104: Generate a current compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server according to the parameter values ​​after configuration, and send the current compressed BIOS configuration file to the BMC through a file upload interface provided by the BMC using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol.

[0083] Optionally, after the parameter configuration is completed, the BIOS creates a file for storing BIOS attribute information corresponding to the server. The file format includes but is not limited to JSON. The BIOS fills the name of the parameter to be configured and the parameter value corresponding to the parameter to be configured at the current moment into the file to obtain a current compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server.

[0084] Optionally, the BIOS sends the current compressed BIOS configuration file to the BMC using the hypertext transfer protocol through a file upload interface provided by the BMC. The BMC receives the current compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server sent by the BIOS using the hypertext transfer protocol after the configuration is completed through the file upload interface, and replaces the compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server stored in the file storage module with the current compressed BIOS configuration file.

[0085] Thus, after the BIOS parameter configuration process is completed, the compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server stored in the file storage module is also updated accordingly. The user can understand the current configuration of the server's BIOS based on the compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server stored in the file storage module.

[0086] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention provides a file processing method, which sends a file status query request to a baseboard management controller BMC during the current startup process of the server, requesting the BMC to feedback the modification status of a BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server; when it is detected that the modification status of the BIOS configuration file feedbacked by the BMC is modified, a modified compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server is downloaded from a file storage module of the BMC through a file download interface provided by the BMC using a hypertext transfer protocol, and finally, according to the modified compressed BIOS configuration file, parameter configuration is performed, and according to the parameter value after the configuration is completed, a current compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server is generated, and the current compressed BIOS configuration file is sent to the BMC through a file upload interface provided by the BMC using a hypertext transfer protocol. During the current startup process of the server, when it is determined that a user has uploaded the modified compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server to the BMC, the BIOS configuration file after compression processing is downloaded through the file download interface provided by the BMC using the hypertext transfer protocol, thereby reducing the file transmission time between the BIOS of the server and the BMC, and improving the server startup speed. The BMC can store the BIOS configuration file after compression processing, thereby avoiding the BIOS configuration file occupying a large storage space in the BMC, and saving the BMC storage space.

[0101] Step 202: When a file status query request sent by the basic input / output system BIOS of the server is detected, the modification status of the BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server is fed back to the BIOS, so that the BIOS downloads the modified compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server from the file storage module through the file download interface provided by the BMC using the hypertext transfer protocol, and performs parameter configuration according to the modified compressed BIOS configuration file.

[0102] Optionally, during the current startup process of the server, the BIOS sends a file status query request to the baseboard management controller BMC, requesting the BMC to feedback the modification status of the BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server. When the BMC detects the file status query request sent by the basic input and output system BIOS of the server, it feeds back the modification status of the BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server to the BIOS.

[0103] Optionally, if the modification status of the BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server is modified, it indicates that the user has uploaded the modified compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server to the BMC. The BIOS needs to download the modified compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server from the BMC, and perform parameter configuration according to the modified compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server, thereby completing the BIOS parameter configuration process during the server startup process.

[0104] Optionally, if the modification status of the BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server is not modified, indicating that the user has not uploaded the modified compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server to the BMC, the BIOS directly sets the parameter value corresponding to each parameter to be configured contained in the BIOS and stored in the server to the parameter value corresponding to the parameter to be configured in the BIOS, thereby completing the BIOS parameter configuration process during this server startup process.

[0105] Step 203: receiving, through the file upload interface, a current compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server sent by the BIOS using the hypertext transfer protocol after the configuration is completed, and replacing the compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server stored in the file storage module with the current compressed BIOS configuration file.

[0106] Optionally, after the parameter configuration is completed, the BIOS creates a file for storing BIOS attribute information corresponding to the server. The file format includes but is not limited to JSON. The BIOS fills the name of the parameter to be configured and the parameter value corresponding to the parameter to be configured at the current moment into the file to obtain a current compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server.

[0107] Optionally, the BIOS sends the current compressed BIOS configuration file to the BMC using the hypertext transfer protocol through a file upload interface provided by the BMC. The BMC receives the current compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server sent by the BIOS using the hypertext transfer protocol after the configuration is completed through the file upload interface, and replaces the compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server stored in the file storage module with the current compressed BIOS configuration file.

[0108] Thus, after the BIOS parameter configuration process is completed, the compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server stored in the file storage module is also updated accordingly. The user can understand the current configuration of the server's BIOS based on the compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server stored in the file storage module.

[0109] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention provides a file processing method. When a modified compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to a server uploaded by a user is detected, the modified compressed BIOS configuration file is stored in a file storage module, and the modification status of the BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server is updated to modified; when a file status query request sent by a basic input and output system BIOS of the server is detected, the modification status of the BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server is fed back to the BIOS, so that the BIOS downloads the modified compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server from the file storage module using a hypertext transfer protocol through a file download interface provided by the BMC, performs parameter configuration according to the modified compressed BIOS configuration file, receives the current compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server sent by the BIOS using a hypertext transfer protocol after the configuration is completed through the file upload interface, replaces the compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server stored in the file storage module with the current compressed BIOS configuration file, and can perform file storage and file transmission on the BIOS configuration file after compression processing, thereby reducing the file transmission time between the BIOS of the server and the BMC, improving the server startup speed, avoiding the BIOS configuration file from occupying a large storage space in the BMC, and saving the BMC storage space.

[0111] Figure 3 A flowchart of a file processing method provided in Embodiment 3 of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0112] Step 301: When the baseboard management controller BMC detects a modified compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to a server uploaded by a user, it stores the modified compressed BIOS configuration file in a file storage module and updates the modification status of the BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server to modified.

[0113] Step 302: The basic input / output system BIOS of the server sends a file status query request to a baseboard management controller BMC during the current startup process of the server.

[0114] The file status query request is used to request the BMC to feedback a modification status of a BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server.

[0115] Step 303: When the BMC detects the file status query request sent by the BIOS, it feeds back the modification status of the BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server to the BIOS.

[0116] Step 304: When the BIOS detects that the modification status of the BIOS configuration file fed back by the BMC is modified, the BIOS downloads the modified compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server from the file storage module of the BMC using the hypertext transfer protocol through the file download interface provided by the BMC.

[0117] Step 305: The BIOS performs parameter configuration according to the modified compressed BIOS configuration file.

[0118] Step 306: The BIOS generates a current compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server according to the parameter values ​​after configuration, and sends the current compressed BIOS configuration file to the BMC using the hypertext transfer protocol through a file upload interface provided by the BMC.

[0119] Step 307: The BMC receives, through the file upload interface, a current compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server, which is sent by the BIOS using the hypertext transfer protocol after the configuration is completed, and replaces the compressed BIOS configuration file corresponding to the server stored in the file storage module with the current compressed BIOS configuration file.

[0120] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention provides a file processing method, which can perform file transmission and file storage after compressing the BIOS configuration file, thereby reducing the file transmission time between the BIOS and the BMC of the server, improving the server startup speed, avoiding the BIOS configuration file from occupying a large storage space in the BMC, and saving BMC storage space.
