Description

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of server configuration, and particularly to a method, device, electronic device and storage medium for configuring a voltage reference chip. Background Art

[0002] The BMC is a small operating system independent of the server system and is a firmware system with an independent IP integrated on the motherboard. Server clusters generally use BMC instructions for large-scale unattended operations, including remote management, monitoring, installation, restart, etc. of the server. The voltage reference chip is responsible for voltage conversion on the motherboard and is an essential chip on the server. Due to the increasing demands of customer users, the configuration of the voltage reference chip also needs to be configured according to the actual situation. There are mainly two existing manual upgrade schemes: the first is to burn the version file of the voltage reference chip through a burner; the second is to upload the version file of the voltage reference chip to the BMC through an upgrade script, and the BMC upgrades the voltage reference chip through I2C. Among them, the upgrade of the voltage reference chip needs to be carried out when the server is in the shutdown state.

[0141] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0142] A flowchart of a method for configuring a voltage reference chip provided by the present application is shown in Figure 1As shown, first, receive the configuration information sent by the user. When it is detected that the host is in the standby state, obtain the file to be configured according to the server address and obtain the backup version file according to the device bus and the backup register; then determine whether the check code to be configured and the backup check code are consistent. If not, first configure the backup voltage reference chip according to the file to be configured and the backup version file; if so, then determine whether the check code to be configured and the primary check code are consistent. If so, report an error to the user; if not, control the programmable logic device to switch the backup voltage reference chip to work and configure the primary voltage reference chip according to the file to be configured. After that, obtain the first working data according to the test period and determine whether the test period is greater than the test period threshold. If so, calculate the first data average value according to the first working data and determine whether the first data average value exceeds the chip threshold; if not, determine whether the first working data exceeds the chip threshold. When it is determined that the first data average value or the first working data exceeds the chip threshold, alarm the user and control the programmable logic device to switch the backup voltage reference chip to work, then restore the primary voltage reference chip and control the programmable logic device to switch the primary voltage reference chip to work.

[0143] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the present invention provides a method for configuring a voltage reference chip, which is applied to a board controller. The method includes:

[0144] S201. Receive the configuration information sent by the user, where the configuration information includes a server address, a chip threshold, and a test period;

[0145] S202. When it is detected that the host is in the standby state, obtain the file to be configured from the server according to the server address and obtain the backup version file according to the backup register of the backup voltage reference chip;

[0146] S203. Determine whether the check code to be configured of the file to be configured and the backup check code of the backup version file are consistent;

[0147] S204. If so, configure the primary voltage reference chip according to the file to be configured and the backup voltage reference chip;

[0148] S205. If not, configure the backup voltage reference chip according to the file to be configured and the backup version file.

[0149] Specifically, the maintenance personnel set the server IP (Internet Protocol) address for storing the to-be-configured file and multiple chip thresholds including voltage threshold, current threshold, temperature threshold, etc. on the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) page. When it is detected that the host meets the upgrade trigger conditions such as the timed or standby state, the BMC starts the upgrade process; first, it downloads the to-be-configured file through the server IP address, then reads the register of the standby VR chip (Voltage Regulator) via I2C (device bus) to obtain the standby version file corresponding to the standby VR chip, and then determines whether the standby VR chip needs to be updated based on the checksum of the standby version file and the checksum of the to-be-configured file.

[0150] In one embodiment, the configuring the primary voltage reference chip according to the to-be-configured file and the standby voltage reference chip includes:

[0151] Obtain the primary version file according to the primary register of the primary voltage reference chip and generate a primary backup configuration;

[0152] Determine whether the to-be-configured checksum is consistent with the primary checksum corresponding to the primary version file;

[0153] If not, control the programmable logic device to switch the standby voltage reference chip to work and configure the primary voltage reference chip according to the to-be-configured file and the primary backup configuration;

[0154] If so, report an error to the user.

[0155] Specifically, when the standby VR chip is updated or does not need to be updated, at this time, the register of the primary VR chip is also read via I2C to obtain the primary version file corresponding to the primary VR chip and generate a primary backup configuration, and then it is determined whether the checksum of the primary version file is consistent with the checksum of the to-be-configured file. If they are consistent, it means that the configuration information input by the maintenance personnel is incorrect, and the primary VR chip does not need to be updated at this time; if they are inconsistent, control the CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) to switch to the standby VR chip to work, that is, enable the standby VR chip and turn off the primary VR chip, and then update the primary VR chip according to the to-be-configured file and the primary backup configuration.

[0156] In one embodiment, the controlling the programmable logic device to switch the standby voltage reference chip to work and configuring the primary voltage reference chip according to the to-be-configured file and the primary backup configuration includes:

[0157] Modify the primary version file according to the configuration data of the file to be configured and modify the primary verification code to the verification code to be configured;

[0158] After the configuration is completed, control the programmable logic device to switch the primary voltage reference chip to work and determine whether the primary voltage reference chip works normally.

[0159] Specifically, in addition to updating the current version of the primary VR chip according to the file to be configured, after the update is completed, it is also necessary to modify the original verification code according to the latest verification code in the file to be configured. After the modification is completed, re-control the CPLD to switch to the primary VR chip to work, and then it is necessary to determine whether the chip works normally.

[0160] In one embodiment, the controlling the programmable logic device to switch the primary voltage reference chip to work and determining whether the primary voltage reference chip works normally includes:

[0161] Obtain the first working data corresponding to the primary voltage reference chip according to the test period and determine whether the test period is greater than the test period threshold;

[0162] If so, calculate the first data average value according to the first working data and determine whether the first data average value exceeds the chip threshold;

[0163] If not, determine whether the first working data exceeds the chip threshold.

[0164] Specifically, when switching to the newly updated primary VR chip to work, it is necessary to determine whether the chip works normally according to the chip threshold in the configuration information. The chip threshold includes voltage threshold, current threshold, temperature threshold, etc. In addition, obtain the first working data according to the test period set by the user, such as obtaining the data when the chip works within 0-5 minutes. If the test period of 0-5 minutes (long period) is greater than the test period threshold, such as 3 minutes, it means that the user hopes to conduct a long period test. At this time, calculate the voltage average value, current average value and temperature average value within 5 minutes to determine whether it exceeds the threshold; when obtaining the data when the chip works within 0-1 minute, because it is less than the test period threshold, it is necessary to determine whether each voltage value, current value and temperature value within 1 minute (short period) exceeds the threshold.

[0165] In one embodiment, after the controlling the programmable logic device to switch the primary voltage reference chip to work and determining whether the primary voltage reference chip works normally includes:

[0166] When it is determined that the first data average value or the first working data exceeds the chip threshold, an alarm is given to the user and the programmable logic device is controlled to switch the standby voltage reference chip to work;

[0167] Restore the main version file and the main check code according to the backup data in the main backup configuration;

[0168] After the restoration of the main voltage reference chip is completed, the programmable logic device is controlled to switch the main voltage reference chip to work.

[0169] Specifically, when at least one of the voltage average value, the current average value, and the temperature average value exceeds the voltage threshold, the current threshold, and the temperature threshold, or when at least one of each voltage value, current value, and temperature value within the test period exceeds the voltage threshold, the current threshold, and the temperature threshold, an alarm is given to the user at this time and the CPLD is controlled to switch the standby VR chip to work. Then, the version file and the check code of the main VR chip are restored according to the original backup configuration. Finally, the CPLD is controlled again to switch the main VR chip to work.

[0170] In one embodiment, the configuring the standby voltage reference chip according to the to-be-configured file and the standby version file includes:

[0171] Modify the standby version file according to the configuration data and modify the standby check code to the to-be-configured check code;

[0172] After the configuration is completed, the programmable logic device is controlled to switch the standby voltage reference chip to work and determine whether the standby voltage reference chip is working properly.

[0173] Specifically, when it is determined that the to-be-configured check code is inconsistent with the standby check code of the standby VR chip, the standby VR chip is first updated according to the to-be-configured file. After the update is completed, the CPLD is controlled to switch to the standby VR chip to work, and then it is determined whether the standby VR chip is working properly.

[0174] In one embodiment, the after the configuration is completed, the programmable logic device is controlled to switch the standby voltage reference chip to work and determine whether the standby voltage reference chip is working properly includes:

[0175] Obtain the second working data corresponding to the standby voltage reference chip according to the test period and determine whether the test period exceeds a test period threshold;

[0176] If so, calculate a second data average value according to the second working data and determine whether the second data average value exceeds the chip threshold;

[0177] If not, determine whether the second working data exceeds the chip threshold;

[0178] When it is determined that the second data average value or the second working data does not exceed the chip threshold, configure the primary voltage reference chip according to the profile to be configured.

[0179] Specifically, for example, obtain the second working data when the standby VR chip is working within 0 - 5 minutes according to the test period set by the user. At this time, calculate the average voltage value, average current value, and average temperature value within 5 minutes to determine whether they exceed the threshold; and when obtaining the data when the standby VR chip is working within 0 - 1 minute, determine whether each voltage value, current value, and temperature value within 1 minute (short period) exceeds the threshold. As described above, when at least one item of data exceeds the chip threshold, it is necessary to alarm the user, restore the standby VR chip, and stop continuing to update the primary VR chip; if none of them exceed the chip threshold, the standby VR chip continues to work and starts to configure the primary VR chip.

[0180] The solution of the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0181] 1) While the server does not need to be shut down, automatically complete the update of the VR chip by switching between the primary VR chip and the standby VR chip;
