AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
During storage device firmware upgrades, server restarts cause input/output (IO) interruptions, affecting business processes. Existing technologies require manual monitoring of business pressure to select restart times, which is both impactful and inefficient.
Method used
The device to be upgraded monitors the IO status in real time. When the IO is less than the threshold, it performs an online reset to activate the firmware to be upgraded, reducing the impact on business operations. Requests are also cached through an IO queue to avoid request loss.
Benefits of technology
This reduced the impact of firmware upgrades on business operations, improved operational efficiency, reduced restart time, and minimized the impact on servers.

Abstract
本申请实施例公开一种固件升级方法及相关设备，应用于待升级设备，该待升级设备包括存储介质，该方法包括：接收计算设备发送的固件升级命令和待升级固件文件，该固件升级命令用于指示对该待升级设备进行固件升级；响应于该固件升级命令，将该待升级固件文件写入该存储介质；在该待升级设备的输入输出IO小于第一阈值的情况下，执行复位操作，该复位操作用于触发该待升级设备运行该待升级固件文件。本申请实施例，待升级设备可以监测自身的IO，然后在IO小于第一阈值时，执行复位操作，从而可以降低固件升级对业务的影响。
