[0044] To make the objectives, features and advantages of the present disclosure more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0045] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide an operating system startup configuration data processing method, which is used to solve the problem of electronic device startup failure. When the operating system fails to start due to startup configuration data error, the method can simply, conveniently and quickly guide the operating system to start successfully. The electronic device applying the method of the embodiments of the present disclosure is installed with an operating system, system management software and a baseboard management controller (BMC). The electronic device applying the method of the embodiments of the present disclosure may, for example, be a server.

[0046] Referring to Figure 1 The embodiments of the present disclosure provide an operating system startup configuration data processing method, which includes:

[0047] When the operating system fails to start due to startup configuration data error, the baseboard management controller acquires a backup file of the startup configuration data stored thereon;

[0048] The baseboard management controller releases the backup file, so that the operating system calls the backup file when starting.

[0049] In the operating system startup configuration data processing method of the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the operating system fails to start due to startup configuration data error, the baseboard management controller acquires a backup file of the startup configuration data stored thereon; the baseboard management controller releases the backup file, so that the operating system calls the backup file when starting. The baseboard management controller runs independently of the operating system and has independence. After the power supply of the electronic device is powered on, the baseboard management controller can start by itself. The backup file of the startup configuration data is stored on the baseboard management controller, which has security and ease of use. When the operating system fails to start, the baseboard management controller releases the backup file, which is used to call the backup file when the operating system starts. The backup file is simple to call, and the operating system is convenient and fast to start.

[0050] In an implementation, the backup file includes a first backup file, which is a backup file of the startup configuration data when the operating system last started successfully. Using the startup configuration data when the operating system last started successfully can ensure that the operating system can start successfully, and restoring the operating system using the backup file of the startup configuration data when the operating system last started successfully can fix the operating system startup problem.

[0051] In an implementation, the backup file further includes a second backup file, which is a backup file of the startup configuration data when the operating system last shut down or restarted; and the operating system is started using the first backup file when the operating system fails to start using the second backup file. Using the startup configuration data when the operating system last shut down or restarted to guide the operating system to start can enable the operating system to maintain the latest configuration, and if the configuration of the operating system is changed after the last startup, the latest configuration is retained after the operating system is started using the second backup file, and there is no need to reconfigure the related parameters. In the embodiment of the disclosure, the substrate management controller stores at least the first backup file and the second backup file, and when the operating system fails to start based on the error of the startup configuration data, the operating system can be started using the second backup file first, so that the operating system after starting can retain the latest configuration, and when the operating system fails to start using the second backup file, the operating system can be started using the first backup file, thereby ensuring that the operating system can start successfully.

[0052] In an implementation, the operating system startup configuration data processing method of the embodiment of the disclosure includes: based on the running state of the operating system, the system management software generates a backup file of the current startup configuration data and sends the backup file; and the substrate management controller receives and stores the backup file. In the embodiment of the disclosure, according to the running state of the operating system, the system management software backs up the current startup configuration data to generate a corresponding backup file, and when the operating system fails to start based on the error of the startup configuration data, the substrate management controller can release the backup file to enable the operating system to call the backup file when starting. In the embodiment of the disclosure, based on the running state of the operating system, the startup configuration data can be automatically backed up without user operation, which avoids the situation that the backup is forgotten due to manual operation of the user, and enables the backup startup configuration data to maintain the latest configuration. The running state of the operating system includes a startup state, a startup restart, a startup shutdown, and the like. The backup file can include a first backup file and a second backup file.

[0053] In an embodiment, the operating system startup configuration data processing method of the present disclosure comprises: based on successful startup of the operating system, the system management software generates a first backup file and sends the first backup file; and the baseboard management controller receives and saves the first backup file. In the present disclosure, the system management software generates a backup file, i.e., the first backup file, of the startup configuration data each time the operating system successfully starts up, and sends the first backup file to the baseboard management controller. After receiving the first backup file, the baseboard management controller saves the first backup file to its storage area. If the baseboard management controller already stores the first backup file, the original first backup file can be updated with the latest first backup file, so that the first backup file remains up-to-date. When the operating system fails to start up based on an error in the startup configuration data, the baseboard management controller can release the first backup file, so that the operating system can call the first backup file when starting up, and successfully start up. In the present disclosure, the operating system can automatically backup the startup configuration data when the operating system is in a successful startup state, without user operation, so that the user is prevented from forgetting to backup the startup configuration data, and the backup startup configuration data can remain up-to-date.

[0054] In an embodiment, based on successful startup of the operating system, the system management software generates a first backup file, which comprises: the baseboard management controller monitors the startup state of the operating system; when the operating system successfully starts up, the baseboard management controller sends a first backup instruction; and in response to the first backup instruction, the system management software generates the first backup file. In the present disclosure, the baseboard management controller can monitor the startup state of the operating system. When the baseboard management controller monitors that the operating system successfully starts up, the baseboard management controller can instruct the system management software to backup the startup configuration data when the operating system successfully starts up, to obtain the first backup file. By monitoring the startup state of the operating system and backing up the startup configuration data based on successful startup of the operating system, the first backup file can remain up-to-date.

[0055] In an embodiment, based on successful startup of the operating system, the system management software generates a first backup file, which comprises: the system management software monitors the startup state of the operating system; and when the operating system successfully starts up, the system management software generates the first backup file. In the present disclosure, the system management software can obtain the startup state of the operating system. When the system management software monitors that the operating system successfully starts up, the system management software backs up the current startup configuration data to obtain the first backup file, and sends the first backup file to the baseboard management controller, so that the baseboard management controller can release the first backup file when the operating system fails to start up based on an error in the startup configuration data, for the operating system to call when starting up.

[0056] In an implementation, the operating system startup configuration data processing method of the embodiments of the present disclosure includes: based on operating system restart or shutdown, system management software generates and sends a second backup file; and a baseboard management controller receives and saves the second backup file. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the system management software generates a backup file, i.e., a second backup file, of the current startup configuration data each time the operating system restarts or shuts down, and sends the second backup file to the baseboard management controller. If the baseboard management controller stores the second backup file, the original second backup file can be updated with the latest second backup file, so that the second backup file remains up-to-date. When the operating system fails to start based on startup configuration data errors, the baseboard control manager can release the second backup file, so that the operating system retains the latest configuration. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the startup configuration data can be automatically backed up based on operating system restart or shutdown, without the need for user operation, avoiding the situation that the backup may be forgotten due to manual operation of the user, and the backed up startup configuration data can remain up-to-date.

[0057] In an implementation, based on operating system restart or shutdown, the system management software generates a second backup file, including: the baseboard management controller monitors the operating state of the operating system; when the operating system restarts or shuts down, the baseboard management controller sends a second backup instruction; and in response to the second backup instruction, the system management software generates a second backup file. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the baseboard management controller can monitor the operating state of the operating system, and when the operating system restarts or shuts down, the baseboard management controller can instruct the system management software to backup the startup configuration data at the time of operating system restart or shutdown to obtain a second backup file. By monitoring the operating state of the operating system and backing up the current startup configuration data based on the monitoring of operating system restart or shutdown, the second backup file can remain up-to-date.

[0058] In an implementation, based on operating system restart or shutdown, the system management software generates a second backup file, including: the system management software monitors the operating state of the operating system; and when the operating system restarts or shuts down, the system management software generates a second backup file. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the system management software can obtain a restart signal or a shutdown signal of the operating system, so as to monitor the operating system restart or shutdown. The system management software backs up the startup configuration data at the time of restart or shutdown to obtain a second backup file, and sends the second backup file to the baseboard control manager, so that the baseboard control manager can release the first backup file when the operating system fails to start based on startup configuration data errors, for calling by the operating system during startup.

[0059] In an implementation, the method further includes: in the operating system starting process, determining, by the baseboard management controller, that the operating system is a specified operating system; and based on the operating system being the specified operating system, sending, by the baseboard management controller, a first backup instruction. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, whether the operating system is the specified operating system is determined in the operating system starting process, and if the operating system is the specified operating system, other steps of the operating system starting configuration data processing method are executed, such as backup of the starting configuration data. If the operating system is not the specified operating system, the other steps of the operating system starting configuration data processing method do not need to be executed, thereby reducing resource occupation and consumption. The specified operating system may, for example, be a Windows operating system.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the baseboard control manager releasing the backup file may be automatically releasing the stored backup file. For example, the baseboard control manager stores a first backup file, and when the operating system fails to start based on the starting configuration data, the baseboard control manager automatically releases the first backup file, so that the operating system starts to boot using the first backup file. Alternatively, the baseboard control manager stores a first backup file and a second backup file, and the baseboard control manager releases the second backup file first. If the second backup file still fails to boot, the first backup file is released, so that the operating system starts to boot using the first backup file, thereby ensuring the success of the operating system starting. See Figure 2 In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the baseboard control manager releasing the backup file may be releasing the stored backup file based on a user selection operation. For example, when the operating system fails to start based on the starting configuration data, the baseboard control manager provides a selection interface, and the user can select a backup file on the selection interface. The baseboard control manager releases the corresponding backup file in response to the user selection operation. The selection interface may, for example, be provided in the form of a pop-up window.

[0061] In an implementation, the baseboard control manager releasing the backup file includes: starting, by the baseboard control manager, a virtual hard disk; and loading, by the baseboard control manager, the backup file to the virtual hard disk. The backup file is released by loading the backup file to the virtual hard disk, and the backup file loaded to the virtual hard disk can be used to start the operating system when the operating system starts. The backup file loaded to the virtual hard disk may, for example, be automatically executed by the baseboard control manager, or may, for example, be executed in response to a user selection operation.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the baseboard control manager releasing the backup file may be automatically releasing the stored backup file. For example, the baseboard control manager stores a first backup file, and when the operating system fails to start based on the starting configuration data, the baseboard control manager automatically releases the first backup file, so that the operating system starts to boot using the first backup file. Alternatively, the baseboard control manager stores a first backup file and a second backup file, and the baseboard control manager releases the second backup file first. If the second backup file still fails to boot, the first backup file is released, so that the operating system starts to boot using the first backup file, thereby ensuring the success of the operating system starting. See Figure 3 In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the baseboard control manager releasing the backup file may be releasing the stored backup file based on a user selection operation. For example, when the operating system fails to start based on the starting configuration data, the baseboard control manager provides a selection interface, and the user can select a backup file on the selection interface. The baseboard control manager releases the corresponding backup file in response to the user selection operation. The selection interface may, for example, be provided in the form of a pop-up window. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the baseboard control manager releasing the backup file may be automatically releasing the stored backup file. For example, the baseboard control manager stores a first backup file, and when the operating system fails to start based on the starting configuration data, the baseboard control manager automatically releases the first backup file, so that the operating system starts to boot using the first backup file. Alternatively, the baseboard control manager stores a first backup file and a second backup file, and the baseboard control manager releases the second backup file first. If the second backup file still fails to boot, the first backup file is released, so that the operating system starts to boot using the first backup file, thereby ensuring the success of the operating system starting. See

The baseboard control manager is independent of the operating system and has independence. After the power supply of the electronic device is powered on, the baseboard control manager can start by itself. The backup file of the startup configuration data is stored on the baseboard control manager, and has safety and ease of use.
