However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that in each embodiment of the present application, many technical details are proposed in order to enable the reader to better understand the present application. However, even without these technical details and various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments, the technical solutions claimed in the present application can be implemented. The division of the following embodiments is for convenience of description and should not constitute any limitation on the specific implementation of the present application.

[0078] NVRAM: Non-Volatile Random Access Memory, a type of random access memory that can retain data after power failure.

[0079] With the rapid advancement of science and technology, server product technology has also developed rapidly. Relying on powerful CPU computing power, strong security and compatibility, and especially reliable operational stability and other advantages, it has taken a leading position in the field of science and technology.

[0080] The stability and flexible operability of server products are crucial in actual applications. In the actual application of server products, customers or testers will change BIOS options in the server's BIOS interface or use the SCE tool to change BIOS options to adapt to the options required by various test environments.

[0081] For server products, some test environments are quite complex. For example, RMT testing and hard disk group RAID testing require not only the preparation of complex external devices, but also a large number of options to be modified in the BIOS interface. After changing the BIOS options, the correct setting and verification of various changed configurations are necessary conditions for users to verify and use related functions.

[0082] However, due to the large number of BIOS options, it is easy for BIOS options to be changed due to human error or mis-triggering, resulting in the settings that meet the current BIOS options not meeting the test environment.

[0083] Therefore, in order to prevent users from changing the configured BIOS options due to misoperation or mistriggered changes, an embodiment of the present application provides an option configuration method for a computer system.

[0084] Reference Figure 1 , shows a flowchart of a method for configuring options of a computer system provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method is applied to a computer system, and the method may include the following steps:

[0085] S101: In response to a configuration operation by a user, any setting option in a basic input / output system of the computer system is configured as a target option configuration.

[0086] Due to different application environments or test environments, users may need to adaptively modify the basic input and output system (BIOS) configuration options of computer systems such as servers. After the computer system is powered on, users can configure the target option configuration of any setting option in the BIOS setup interface, i.e., the Setup interface.

[0087] In actual implementation, before modifying any setting option in the basic input / output system of the computer system, the method further includes: after the computer system is powered on, obtaining the current configuration of all setting options in the setting interface of the basic input / output system; and storing the current configuration of all setting options in the setting interface of the basic input / output system.

[0088] Specifically, the BIOS Setup interface provides multiple setting option controls, including pop-up type, option type and number input type setting options. The gray controls displayed on the Setup interface represent setting options that are not allowed to be modified, and the non-gray controls represent setting options that are allowed to be modified.

[0089] In order to facilitate viewing and recording the configuration of BIOS setting options before and after modification, the current configuration of all BIOS setting options in the initial state can be stored. For example, it can be stored in NVRAM, which is a non-volatile random access memory that can ensure that data is not lost after power failure.

[0090] In a feasible implementation manner, in the process of configuring any setting option in the basic input / output system as a target option configuration, the following steps may be performed:

[0091] In response to a first configuration operation by the user, any pop-up window type setting option in the basic input and output system is configured as a target option configuration.

[0092] In response to a second configuration operation by the user, any option-type setting option in the basic input and output system is configured as a target option configuration.

[0093] In response to a third configuration operation by the user, any input digital setting option in the basic input and output system is configured as a target option configuration.

[0094] That is, the user may be allowed to configure any pop-up type setting option, option type setting option, and number input type setting option according to actual application requirements, thereby configuring any setting option as a target option configuration.

[0095] In another feasible implementation, in order to improve the efficiency of configuration, in the process of configuring any setting option in the basic input and output system as a target option configuration, the environment to be tested can also be determined in response to the user's test environment configuration operation; in the option configuration strategies corresponding to the preset different test environments, the target option configuration strategy corresponding to the environment to be tested is determined; and the target option configuration strategy corresponding to the environment to be tested is executed to configure each setting option corresponding to the environment to be tested as a target option configuration.

[0096] That is, the user can store the option configuration strategies corresponding to different test environments in a non-volatile random access memory, such as NVRAM, in advance, and set the test environment setting options in the Setup interface of the BIOS. The test environment setting options can be set as option type setting options or input number type setting options.

[0097] In response to the user's test environment configuration operation for setting the test environment setting options, the environment to be tested is obtained, and then the target option configuration policy corresponding to the environment to be tested is matched and obtained in NVRAM. The target option configuration policy corresponding to the environment to be tested includes the target option configuration of each setting option required under the environment to be tested. By executing the target option configuration policy corresponding to the environment to be tested, the various setting options corresponding to the environment to be tested can be configured as target option configurations.

[0098] Compared with manually setting target option configurations of multiple setting options one by one according to the requirements of the test environment, the efficiency of setting option configuration can be improved.

[0099] S102: When any setting option in the basic input and output system is configured, a modification restriction option of the basic input and output system is enabled. After being enabled, the modification restriction option is used to stop the user from configuring any setting option in the basic input and output system.

[0100] In this method, a modification restriction option is added to the setting options of the BIOS of the computer system, such as a Prevent Change System Configuration option. The modification restriction option includes enabling the configuration and disabling the configuration.

[0101] In actual implementation, the modification restriction option is set to Disabled by default in the BIOS. After the user sets the configuration of the setting options to adapt to the test environment of the computer system, if the configuration settings of the setting options need to be saved to prevent accidental changes to the configured option settings, the modification restriction option is changed to Enabled. After the modification restriction option is set to Enabled, the setting options on all pages of the BIOS Setup interface only have the viewing function except the modification restriction option, and the modification function is not provided. That is, except for the modification restriction option, other setting options in the BIOS Setup interface are gray and cannot be modified.

[0102] In a feasible implementation manner, if the user configures the setting options one by one, after the configuration of any setting option in the basic input and output system is completed, the modification restriction option of the basic input and output system is turned on in response to the user's modification restriction operation, that is, whether the modification restriction option is configured to be turned on is determined by the user.

[0103] In another feasible implementation, if the method of automatically configuring each setting option according to the target option configuration policy of the test environment is adopted, when the various setting options corresponding to the test environment are configured as the target option configuration, a configuration confirmation pop-up window can be displayed. The configuration confirmation pop-up window can include the various setting options that have been configured in the test environment and the current configuration of each setting option, so that the user can review whether there are any errors in the configuration of the setting options.

[0104] In response to the user's confirmation operation on the configuration confirmation pop-up window, the modification restriction option of the basic input and output system is turned on. When the user confirms that the configuration of the setting option is correct and then performs a confirmation operation on the configuration confirmation pop-up window, the modification restriction option can be configured to be turned on.

[0105] When the modification restriction option of the basic input / output system is turned on, all setting options of the basic input / output system except the modification restriction option are set to a non-modification state. For example, when the modification restriction option is configured to be turned on, the setting options on all pages of the BIOS Setup interface only have a viewing function except the modification restriction option, and no modification function is provided. For example, other setting options in the Setup interface are displayed in a gray and non-modifiable state.

[0106] At this time, the current configuration of all setting options of the basic input and output system is stored, that is, the current configuration of all setting options of the modified BIOS is backed up, such as in NVRAM, to facilitate the user to find the backed-up setting option configuration and perform subsequent maintenance and troubleshooting operations.

[0107] In a feasible implementation manner, after the configuration of any setting option in the basic input and output system is completed and the modification restriction option of the basic input and output system is enabled, the current state of the access level option of the main page in the setting page of the basic input and output system can also be set to an unmodifiable state.

[0108] Specifically, in the Setup interface of the BIOS, the Main page includes an access level option, namely, Access Level. When the modification restriction option is configured to be enabled, the state value of the access level option Access Level is an unmodifiable state, namely, an Unmodifiable state.

[0109] The Main page includes an access level option. The status value of Access Level can remind the user that the BIOS setting options are currently in an unmodifiable state, so as to prompt other users that they cannot currently modify the configuration of the BIOS setting options.

[0110] When the configuration of any setting option in the basic input and output system is completed and the modification restriction option of the basic input and output system is turned on, it indicates that modification of various setting options in the current BIOS has been restricted except for the modification restriction option. If the user responds to the default value restoration operation at this time, a pop-up window will be displayed indicating that the default value cannot be restored.

[0111] In actual implementation, the user's default value restoration operation includes triggering the F9 hotkey. The F9 hotkey is used to restore the setting options in the BIOS Setup interface to the default values. If the user triggers the F9 hotkey, the setting options in the BIOS Setup interface cannot be restored to the default values ​​because the modification restriction option is in the enabled configuration at this time. A pop-up window may be displayed indicating that the default values ​​cannot be restored to remind the user that the modification of the current setting options has been restricted.

[0112] In the option configuration method provided by this method, the user can set the setting options in the basic input and output system (BIOS) after the computer system is powered on. After the setting is completed, the modification restriction option can be enabled to limit the modification operation of the BIOS setting options, thereby avoiding the problem of changing the target configuration options instead of the application test environment due to erroneous operation.

[0113] In a feasible implementation, after the modification restriction option of the basic input / output system is enabled, the BIOS setting options may need to be modified or adjusted according to actual application requirements. Therefore, the method further includes: when responding to a modification operation on any setting option in the basic input / output system, executing a modification judgment strategy to determine whether to modify the setting option.

[0114] The modification operation of BIOS setting options includes the modification of setting options in BIOS and OS system.

[0115] In a feasible implementation, in a BIOS environment, if the configuration of the BIOS setting options has been completed and the modification restriction option is enabled, it is necessary to modify any setting option in the BIOS according to actual application requirements, or when the configuration of the BIOS setting options needs to be modified the next time the computer system is powered on, since the modification restriction option is enabled, it is necessary to execute a modification judgment strategy to determine whether the modification operation of any setting option in the basic input and output system is allowed to modify the setting option.

[0116] Reference Figure 2 , shows a flowchart of the steps of executing a modification judgment strategy in a basic input / output system provided by an embodiment of the present application. For example, executing the modification judgment strategy may include the following steps:

[0117] A1: In the basic input and output system, monitoring whether there is a modification operation on any setting option in the basic input and output system.

[0118] A2: When there is a modification operation for any setting option in the basic input and output system, it is determined whether to execute the first modification strategy or the second modification strategy.

[0119] Specifically, when there is a modification operation for any setting option in the basic input and output system, it is determined whether the modification operation for the setting option is a modification operation for the modification restriction option.

[0120] If the modification operation is for the modification restriction option, a first modification strategy is executed, where the first modification strategy is used to determine whether to modify the modification restriction option.

[0121] If the modification operation is not for the modification restriction option, a second modification strategy is executed, wherein the second modification strategy is used to determine whether to modify the setting options other than the modification restriction option in all the setting options of the basic input and output system.

[0122] In a feasible embodiment, executing the first modification strategy includes verifying the modification operation on the modification restriction option. For example, the verification includes user authority verification, etc. When the modification restriction option of the basic input and output system is turned on, the user authority range allowed for modification can be obtained. If the configuration of the modification restriction option needs to be modified, then after responding to the modification operation on the modification restriction option, the current user authority is obtained, and the current user authority is compared with the user authority range allowed for modification to determine whether the current user has the authority to modify the modification restriction option.

[0123] Specifically, verifying the modification operation on the modification restriction option may further include:

[0124] Display a verification code pop-up window; in response to the user's setting operation on the verification code pop-up window, obtain and store a target verification code, wherein the target verification code is used to verify whether the modification restriction option is allowed to be modified.

[0125] When executing the first modification strategy, when there is a modification operation on any setting option in the basic input and output system, which is a modification operation on the modification restriction option, a verification pop-up window is displayed; in response to the user's input operation on the verification pop-up window, a verification code to be verified is obtained; when the verification code to be verified is consistent with the target verification code, the current configuration of the modification restriction option is modified.

[0126] In a feasible implementation, executing the second modification strategy includes:

[0127] When there is a modification operation on any setting option in the basic input and output system that is not a modification operation on the modification restriction option, the current configuration of the modification restriction option is determined.

[0128] When the modification restriction option is turned on, a pop-up window will display that modification is prohibited.

[0129] When the modification restriction option is turned off, the setting option to be modified is modified in response to the modification operation of the setting option.

[0130] In a feasible implementation, in an OS environment, the SCE tool can modify the configuration of any setting option in the BIOS.

[0131] Reference Figure 3 , shows a flowchart of the steps of executing a modification judgment strategy in an operating system provided by an embodiment of the present application. For example, executing a modification judgment strategy in an OS system may include the following steps:

[0132] B1: In the operating system, monitoring whether there is a modification operation on any setting option in the basic input and output system.

[0133] For example, the SCE tool can be used to determine whether any operation performed by the user is a modification operation of any setting option.

[0134] B2: When there is a modification operation for any setting option in the basic input and output system, determining whether to execute the first modification strategy or the second modification strategy.

[0135] When the SCE tool determines that any operation of the user is a modification operation of any setting option, an SMI interrupt is executed to determine whether the modification operation of the setting option is a modification operation for the modification restriction option.

[0136] If the modification operation is for the modification restriction option, a first modification strategy is executed to determine whether to modify the modification restriction option.

[0137] If the modification operation is not for the modification restriction option, a second modification strategy is executed to determine whether to modify the setting options other than the modification restriction option.

[0138] In a feasible implementation, when executing the first modification strategy, when there is a modification operation on any setting option in the basic input and output system, which is a modification operation on the modification restriction option, a verification pop-up window is displayed; in response to the user's input operation on the verification pop-up window, a verification code to be verified is obtained; when the verification code to be verified is consistent with the target verification code, the current configuration of the modification restriction option is modified.

[0139] In a feasible implementation, executing the second modification strategy includes:

[0140] When there is a modification operation on any setting option in the basic input and output system that is not a modification operation on the modification restriction option, the current configuration of the modification restriction option is determined; when the modification restriction option is turned on, a pop-up window is displayed indicating that modification is prohibited; when the modification restriction option is turned off, the setting option to be modified is modified in response to the modification operation of the setting option.

[0141] Reference Figure 4 , shows a schematic diagram of the execution of a computer system option configuration method provided by an embodiment of the present application. After the computer system is powered on, in the basic input and output system, after the target option configuration of any setting option is completed, the modification restriction option is enabled.

[0142] In the basic input and output system, except for the modification restriction option, the other setting options only have a viewing function; when responding to a modification operation on any setting option in the basic input and output system, a modification judgment strategy is executed to determine whether to modify the setting option.

[0143] In the operating system, a command line tool such as an SCE tool is used to determine whether there is a modification operation for any setting option in the basic input and output system, and a modification determination strategy is executed to determine whether to modify the setting option.

[0144] In this method, after the user has completed setting the setting options in the BIOS after the computer system is powered on, the modification restriction option can be turned on to limit the modification operation of the BIOS setting options. When a modification operation for any setting option of the BIOS occurs, the modification judgment strategy is executed to determine whether to modify the setting option, thereby preventing the configured BIOS setting options from being changed due to misoperation or mistriggered after the BIOS setting option configuration is completed, resulting in the configuration of the BIOS setting options not meeting the test environment.

[0145] Reference Figure 5 , shows a functional module diagram of an option configuration device for a computer system provided in an embodiment of the present application, the device comprising:
