Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a method for processing device information and an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] In the process of equipment production, sales, and reuse, it is necessary to process the equipment information in the computing equipment, such as modifying, deleting, and adding equipment information in a brand-new computing device. For example, with the continuous development of business needs and the accelerating speed of product upgrades, the market demand for independent modular computing equipment is increasing. Therefore, the demand for white-label equipment is also increasing. At the same time, enterprises also need to perform white-label operations on equipment in scenarios such as sales, reuse, or inventory recovery. Therefore, the current need for white-label operations on computing equipment is increasing. Currently, management tools are commonly used to perform white-label operations on computing devices one by one through scripts or commands, and batch white-label operations cannot be performed.

[0003] In the related art, the intelligent platform management interface (IPMI) is usually relied on to implement device information processing for batch computing devices.

[0004] However, IPMI is based on the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), which has poor stability, resulting in a low success rate in device information processing. IPMI is even frequently unavailable, and batch device information processing cannot be performed at this time, resulting in low efficiency in processing device information of electronic devices. Summary of the invention

[0005] The embodiment of the present application provides a method for processing device information and an electronic device, which are used to improve the processing efficiency of device information of the electronic device. The technical solution is as follows:

[0006] In a first aspect, a method for processing device information is provided, which is executed by a first electronic device, and the method includes: obtaining a mirror system file; mounting the mirror system file to a second electronic device; wherein the second electronic device supports loading the mirror system file to run the mirror system, and an application for changing device information runs in the mirror system; sending a processing instruction to the second electronic device; the processing instruction is used to instruct to change the device information, and the second electronic device changes the device information by running the application.

[0007] From the above, it can be seen that by mounting the mirror system file to the second electronic device and using the application in the mirror system to change the device information, the device information can be processed in an in-band manner, which can improve the success rate of the first electronic device processing the device information of the second electronic device, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the device information of the electronic device.

[0008] In a possible implementation, a query instruction is sent to the second electronic device; the query instruction is used to instruct to obtain processing information from the mirroring system; the processing information includes a processing result and / or a processing progress; and the processing information is received.

[0009] From the above, it can be seen that by sending a query instruction to the second electronic device, processing information can be obtained through the mirroring system of the second electronic device, and the execution of the processing instruction can be monitored, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the device information of the electronic device.

[0010] In a possible implementation, when the first electronic device communicates abnormally with the second electronic device through the IPMI interface, the mirror system file is obtained.

[0011] As can be seen from the above, by mounting the mirror system file to the second electronic device, the influence of the IPMI interface is avoided, and the device information is changed in an in-band manner, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the device information of the electronic device.

[0013] From the above, it can be seen that when the first electronic device communicates normally with the second electronic device through the IPMI interface and the device information is stored in the BMC of the second electronic device, the electronic device completes the device information processing through the IPMI processing script, which can save the computing power overhead of the electronic device and thus improve the processing efficiency of the device information of the electronic device.

[0014] In a possible implementation, a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) service is started, and a processing instruction is sent to the BMCs of the at least two second electronic devices through a redfish interface.

[0016] In a possible implementation manner, architecture information of the second electronic device is obtained; and the mirror system file is determined according to the architecture information.

[0017] From the above, it can be known that it is possible to be compatible with second electronic devices of different architectures at the same time to implement device information processing, thereby improving the processing efficiency of device information of the electronic device.

[0022] In a possible implementation, when the first electronic device communicates abnormally with the second electronic device through the IPMI interface, the mirror system file is loaded to run the mirror system.

[0023] In one possible implementation, when the first electronic device communicates normally with the second electronic device through the IPMI interface and the device information is stored in the BMC of the second electronic device, the method further includes: receiving an IPMI processing script sent by the first electronic device through the IPMI interface; the IPMI processing script supports running through the BMC of the second electronic device and changing the device information.

[0024] In one possible implementation, architecture information is sent to a first electronic device; the architecture information is used by the first electronic computing device to determine a mirror system file.

In addition, in order to clearly describe the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, in the embodiments of the present application, words such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish the same or similar items with basically the same functions and effects.

[0040] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that words such as "first" and "second" do not limit the quantity and execution order, and words such as "first" and "second" do not necessarily limit the difference. At the same time, in some embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or descriptions.

Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a concrete way for easy understanding.

[0041] In addition, the device architecture and business scenarios described in the embodiments of the present application are intended to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application. A person of ordinary skill in the art can appreciate that with the evolution of the device architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0042] First, the application scenarios of the embodiments of the present application are exemplarily introduced.

[0043] In order to adapt to the rapidly developing market demand and corporate changes, equipment manufacturers need to process the equipment information of the completed computing equipment, including modifying, deleting or updating the equipment information of the computing equipment. For example, with the development of business and market upgrades, and in order to expand sales channels and more refined inventory management, enterprises have an increasing demand for white-label equipment. Therefore, more and more scenarios require the implementation of white-label operations for computing equipment.

[0044] White-brand devices refer to computing devices that are not authorized by a brand or do not contain brand-related information. Such computing devices do not carry any brand logos and usually have some basic specifications and functions. White-brand operations are used to instruct the erasure of basic input output system (BIOS) settings or electronic labels in baseboard management controllers (BMCs) that may contain original brand information.

[0045] An embodiment of the present application provides a method for processing device information, the method comprising: a first electronic device obtains a mirror system file, and mounts the mirror system file to a second electronic device. The second electronic device supports loading the mirror system file to run the mirror system, and an application for changing device information runs in the mirror system. The first electronic device sends a processing instruction to the second electronic device, and the second electronic device processes the device information by running the application in the mirror system. The processing instruction is used to instruct to change the device information.

[0046] The above method can avoid being affected by the instability of the IMPI interface, and solves the problem that when IPMI is unavailable or the operation indicated by the processing instruction is for the related operation in the band of the second electronic device, the device information processing can be realized for the second electronic device. Among them, the device information processing includes performing a white card operation on the second electronic device, that is, the processing instruction includes a white card instruction. Thereby, the efficiency of the device information processing of the electronic device is improved.

[0047] Secondly, the system architecture of the embodiment of the present application is exemplarily introduced.

[0048] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the hardware architecture of a device information processing system 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the device information processing system 100 includes a first electronic device 110 and a second electronic device 120. The first electronic device 110 and the second electronic device 120 can be connected and communicated with each other through the IPMI interface protocol and / or the redfish management protocol.

[0049] The first electronic device 110 may include a mobile phone, a smart watch, a tablet computer, a foldable electronic device, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a handheld computer, a notebook computer, an ultra-mobile personal computer (Ultra-Mobile Personal Computer, UMPC), a netbook, a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (Personal Digital Assistant, PDA), an augmented reality (Augmented Reality, AR) device, a virtual reality (Virtual Reality, VR) device, an artificial intelligence (Artificial Intelligence, AI) device, a wearable device, an in-vehicle device, and other electronic devices with communication capabilities. The embodiments of the present application do not impose any special restrictions on the specific types of electronic devices.

[0050] The second electronic device 120 includes a BMC 130. The second electronic device 120 can be a standard general server, specifically a blade server, a high-density server, a rack server or a high-performance server. BMC 130 is an independent management unit of the second electronic device 120. BMC 130 includes a microprocessor, a memory, a BMC firmware and an interface. Among them, the microprocessor is used to execute various instructions and run the BMC firmware. The memory is used to store the data and programs generated by the operation of the BMC firmware, and to perform read and / or write operations during the operation of the BMC firmware. The BMC firmware is a set of software programs that provide the basic functions of the BMC. The interface is used for the BMC to communicate and exchange information with external devices. BMC 130 can specifically be an intelligent baseboard management controller (iBMC).

[0051] After the first electronic device 110 obtains the mirror system file, the mirror system file is mounted to the second electronic device 120. Among them, the second electronic device 120 supports loading the mirror system file to run the mirror system. An application for changing device information runs in the mirror system. The mirror system file is a file containing a complete operating system. The mirror system 140 can specifically be a Linux system.

[0052] The first electronic device 110 is further configured to send a processing instruction to the second electronic device 120, wherein the processing instruction is used to instruct to change the device information. The second electronic device 120 executes the processing and runs the application in the mirroring system to change the device information.

[0053] For example, Figure 2 FIG. 1 shows a hardware structure diagram of a first electronic device 110 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the first electronic device 110 includes a processor 210, a memory 220, an electronic screen 230 and a bus 240. The processor 210, the memory 220 and the electronic screen 230 communicate with each other via the bus 240. It should be understood that the present application does not limit the number of processors and memories in the electronic device.

[0054] The processor 210 is used to obtain the mirror system file and mount the mirror system file to the second electronic device 120. The processor 210 is also used to send a processing instruction to the second electronic device 120. Specifically, the processor 210 may include any one or more of a central processing unit (CPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), a microprocessor (MP), or a digital signal processor (DSP).

[0055] The memory 220 stores executable program codes, and the processor 220 executes the executable program codes to implement the above-mentioned device information processing method.

[0056] The electronic screen 230 is used to display the interface of the device information processing system 100 .

[0057] It should be noted that the system architecture and application scenarios described in the embodiments of the present application are intended to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application. Ordinary technicians in this field can know that with the evolution of the system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0058] For ease of understanding, the following is an exemplary introduction to the device information processing method provided by the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The device information processing method is as follows: Figure 1 The first electronic device 110 is shown to execute.

[0059] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing a method for processing device information provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, the device information processing method is executed by a first electronic device and includes the following steps:

[0060] S101: A first electronic device obtains a mirroring system file.

[0061] The second electronic device supports loading the mirror system file to run the mirror system. The mirror system runs an application for changing device information.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, the image system file is a file containing a complete operating system, and specifically may be an image file of a Linux system.

[0063] Optionally, when the first electronic device communicates abnormally with the second electronic device via the IPMI interface, the mirror system file is obtained. The abnormal communication between the first electronic device and the second electronic device via the IPMI interface specifically includes hardware failure, connection line failure, switch not supporting IPMI, network configuration error or IPMI management software incompatibility, etc.

[0064] In a possible implementation manner, the first electronic device obtains architecture information of the second electronic device; and determines the mirror system file according to the architecture information.

[0065] Exemplarily, the second electronic device includes an ARM architecture computing device and / or an X86 architecture computing device.

[0066] For example, the first electronic device can query the architecture information of the second electronic device through the redfish interface, and the first electronic device determines the mirror system file based on the returned architecture information. If the second electronic device is a computing device of ARM architecture, the first electronic device determines that the mirror system file is the first mirror system file loaded by the electronic device supporting ARM architecture. The first mirror system file contains the operating system core files and drivers under the ARM architecture. If the second electronic device is a computing device based on Intel 8086 and backward compatible central processing unit instruction set architecture (X86 architecture), the first electronic device determines that the mirror system file is the second mirror system file loaded by the electronic device supporting X86 architecture. The second mirror system file contains the operating system core files and drivers under the X86 architecture. Specifically, the first mirror system file or the second mirror system file can be a windows mirror system file or a Linux mirror system file.

[0067] Optionally, the architecture information of the second electronic device can be obtained by relevant technicians through hardware manuals, product documents, etc., and the relevant technicians upload the mirror system file to the first electronic device based on the architecture information. The manner in which the first electronic device obtains the architecture information of the second electronic device is not specifically limited.

[0068] S102: The first electronic device mounts the mirror system file to the second electronic device.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present application, the first electronic device can send a mirror system file to the second electronic device through a redfish interface, the second electronic device receives the mirror system file through the BMC, and stores the mirror system file in the memory of the second electronic device, so that the central processing unit (CPU) of the second electronic device starts the mirror system through the driver in the mirror system file.

[0070] S103: The first electronic device sends a processing instruction to the second electronic device.

[0071] The processing instruction is used to instruct to change the device information, and the second electronic device changes the device information by running the application.

[0072] In addition, the second electronic device starts the mirroring system, and the mirroring system obtains the redfish token of the BMC through IPMI, so that the BMC of the second electronic device can interact with the mirroring system, so that the mirroring system obtains the processing instruction. Among them, the redfish token is a token mechanism used for identity authentication in the redfish protocol.

[0073] Exemplarily, the first electronic device sends a processing instruction to the BMC of the second electronic device through the redfish interface, and the second electronic device sends the processing instruction to the mirroring system through the BMC, so that the second electronic device changes the device information by running an application.

[0074] In a possible implementation manner, the device information includes an electronic label stored in the BMC and / or a BIOS system identifier BIOS Logo stored in a BIOS chip.

[0075] Exemplarily, if the first electronic device communicates abnormally with the second electronic device through the IPMI interface, the first electronic device sends a processing instruction to the BMC of the second electronic device through the redfish interface, and the processing instruction includes a white card instruction. The white card instruction is used to instruct the mirroring system to delete the electronic label and / or BIOS Logo in the second electronic device. Among them, the white card instruction includes white card content, and the white card content indicates the electronic label and / or BIOS system identification BIOS Logo that needs to be deleted.

[0076] for example, Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a first interface 001 of a device information processing system 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, the first interface 001 runs on the first electronic device. The first interface 001 includes an input bar for the task name, an input bar for the mirror system file, an input bar for the second electronic device, and a selection control for the execution policy, including executing later and executing immediately. And a preview control is included after each input bar to display the uploaded information or files. Create controls and cancel controls are also included below the first interface 001. The first interface 001 is used to implement interaction between the device information processing system 100 and the user, and the user can implement information processing of the second electronic device through the first interface 001.

[0077] Taking the example of a user performing a white card operation on a second electronic device through the first interface 001 displayed on the electronic device, the user creates a task name through the input bar of the task name. The user determines the mirror system file based on the architecture information of the second electronic device and uploads it through the input bar of the mirror system file. Alternatively, the user can first upload the identification code, serial number, model, etc. of the second electronic device through the input bar of the second electronic device, and the first electronic device will automatically fill in the mirror system file. No specific limitation is made here. After the user selects the execution mode through the selection control of the execution policy, clicks the create control to create a task for the electronic device to perform a white card operation on the second electronic device.

[0078] During the white card operation of the first electronic device, the first electronic device sends a white card instruction to the second electronic device through the redfish interface. The mirroring system of the second electronic device obtains the white card instruction through the BMC, and parses the white card instruction to obtain the location information of the white card content as follows:

[0079] / home / Project / tools / BatchIsoTools / oem / config.json

[0080] The mirror system obtains the white card content according to the location information. The mirror system will run the application and perform the white card operation according to the white card content included in the white card instruction. The white card content is as follows:

[0081] "Fw Upgrade Version Require": "1.0.1",

[0082] "Product Name": "KL 2280V2",

[0083] "Custom Manufacturer": "KL",

[0084] "Custom Board Manufacturer": "KL",

[0085] "Board Product Name": "KL 2280V2",

[0086] "Machine Name": "KL 2280V2",

[0087] "BIOS Logo": ".. / oem / bios / Logo.bmp",

[0088] "BMC Hpm File": ".. / oem / bmc / hpm / bmc_arm_V3.hpm",

[0089] "Redfish Oem": "HW"

[0090] "IPMIOem": "0xdb 0x07 0x00",

[0091] "SNMP Oem": "a",

[0092] "BMC oft Name": "iBMC",

[0093] "Custom Alarm Name": "iBMC",

[0094] "Custom Log Ibma Name": "iBMC",

[0095] "Custom Log Ibma Name": "iBMC",

[0096] "Clp Command": "iBMC",

[0097] "QR code State": "0x01"

[0098] Among them, "Fw Upgrade Version Require" indicates the firmware upgrade version requirement of the management tool used by the first electronic device; "Product Name" indicates the product name of the second electronic device; "Custom Manufacturer" indicates the custom manufacturer of the second electronic device; "Custom Board Manufacturer" indicates the custom mainboard manufacturer of the second electronic device; "Board Product Name" indicates the motherboard product name of the second electronic device; "Machine Name" indicates the machine name of the second electronic device; "BIOS Logo" indicates the boot pattern of the second electronic device; "BMC HpmFile" indicates the BMC upgrade file of the second electronic device; "Redfish Oem" indicates the Redfish manufacturer-specific extension; "IPMIOem" indicates the IPMI manufacturer-specific extension; "SNMP Oem" indicates the network protocol manufacturer extension; "BMC oftName" indicates the BMC software name; "Custom Alarm Name" indicates the custom alarm name; "Custom Log IbmaName" indicates the custom log name; "Clp Command" indicates the command line processor; "QR code State" indicates the QR code state of the BMC in the second electronic device.

[0099] It should be understood that the above white-label content is only an example and does not constitute a limitation. The fields and content included in the specific white-label content are related to the second electronic device and the first electronic device where the device information processed in the actual application scenario is located.

[0100] It can be seen from the field "BIOS Logo" and the address information ".. / oem / bios / Logo.bmp" in the above white card content that the white card operation specifically deletes the BIOS Logo stored in ".. / oem / bios / Logo.bmp" in the second electronic device. The mirror system reads the white card content and determines the corresponding deletion tool based on the device model of the first device read, such as the "Product Name" in the above white card content: "KL 2280V2". If the device model is V3, during the white card operation, use the V3 deletion tool to perform the white card operation and delete the BIOS Logo. If the device model is V2, during the white card operation, use the V2 deletion tool to perform the white card operation and delete the BIOS Logo. If the white card content is empty, the mirror system does not perform the white card operation.

[0101] Optionally, before the first electronic device sends a white card instruction to the BMC of the second electronic device through the redfish interface, the first electronic device verifies the white card content in the white card instruction to determine the legitimacy of the white card content. Taking the above white card content as an example, the white card field is "BIOS Logo": ".. / oem / bios / Logo.bmp", and the electronic device verifies whether the content of the field complies with the field rules. If the white card content is the BIOS Logo, then the data of the field content is in picture format. If it is in string format, the white card content is not legal.

[0102] As can be seen from the above, the first electronic device providing the first interface 001 can increase the interactivity and convenience between the user and the device information processing system 100, thereby improving the efficiency of device information processing and further improving the efficiency of white-label operation of the first electronic device.

[0103] In a possible implementation, the first electronic device starts a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) service and sends a processing instruction to the BMCs of the at least two second electronic devices through a redfish interface.

[0104] Exemplarily, the redfish management protocol is built on a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) service, and the first electronic device sends processing instructions to the BMCs of at least two second electronic devices through HTTP requests in accordance with the instruction format requirements supported by the second electronic device.

[0105] For example, when a first electronic device performs a batch white-card operation on at least two second electronic devices, the first electronic device can share the image file with at least two second electronic devices through the redfish interface using the network file system (NFS). After the various corresponding image systems of at least two second electronic devices are started, the first electronic device sends a white-card instruction to the BMC of each of the at least two second electronic devices through an HTTP request. This enables the image systems of the at least two second electronic devices to run applications and perform white-card operations according to the white-card content included in the white-card instruction, thereby enabling the first electronic device to perform batch white-card operations on at least two second electronic devices.

[0106] In one possible implementation, the first electronic device sends a query instruction to the second electronic device; the query instruction is used to instruct to obtain processing information from the mirroring system; the processing information includes a processing result and / or a processing progress; and the first electronic device receives the processing information.

[0107] Exemplarily, the first electronic device forwards the query instruction through the BMC of the second electronic device, so that the mirror system executes the query instruction and obtains the execution information of the processing instruction executed in the mirror system. The first electronic device obtains the execution information through the forwarding of the BMC in the second electronic device, and can monitor the execution of the processing instruction.

[0108] for example, Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a second interface 002 of a device information processing system 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 As shown, the second interface 002 is used to display processing information, which may specifically include task name, execution status, creation time, completion time, and time consumption. Among them, the execution status may include execution completed or in progress.

[0109] The second interface 002 also includes a second electronic device list. The main fields of the second electronic device list may include identification code, status, serial number, model, start time, end time, and failure reason. Figure 5 Taking the second electronic device with the identification code 12.24.567, the serial number 123467T, and the model V2 as an example, the execution completion corresponding to the status field is used to indicate that the mirroring system file execution processing instruction of the second electronic device is completed. The characters in the failure reason field are used to indicate that the second electronic device mirroring system file execution processing instruction is successful. If the second electronic device mirroring system file execution processing instruction fails, the failure reason field corresponds to the specific description of the failure reason.

[0110] As can be seen from the above, the second interface 002 provided by the first electronic device can effectively display the result of device information processing, increase the interactivity of the device information processing system 100, thereby improving the efficiency of device information processing and further improving the efficiency of white-label operation of the electronic device.

[0111] In one possible implementation, when the first electronic device communicates normally with the second electronic device through the IPMI interface and the device information is stored in the BMC of the second electronic device, the method also includes sending an IPMI processing script to the second electronic device through the IPMI interface; the IPMI processing script supports running through the BMC of the second electronic device and changing the device information.

[0112] The IPMI processing script includes connection information and processing instructions. The connection information usually includes the IP address of the second electronic device and / or the user name and password of the BMC.

[0113] Exemplarily, when the first electronic device communicates normally with the second electronic device through the IPMI interface, if the first electronic device determines that the device information in the processing instruction is stored in the BMC, the first electronic device sends an IPMI processing script to the second electronic device, and the second electronic device receives the IPMI processing script through the BMC and executes the processing instruction in the IPMI processing script to change the target device information of the second electronic device stored in the BMC. The IPMI processing script may include an IPMI white-label script.

[0114] From the above, it can be seen that when the first electronic device communicates normally with the second electronic device through the IPMI interface and the target device information is stored in the BMC, the first device completes the device information processing through the IPMI processing script, and there is no need to mount the mirror system on the second electronic device, which can save the computing power overhead of the first electronic device, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the device information of the electronic device, and specifically improving the efficiency of the white-label operation of the electronic device.

[0115] The method for processing device information is described below from the perspective of interaction between the BMC 130 and the mirroring system 140 in the first electronic device 110 and the second electronic device 120 . Figure 6 A schematic diagram of an interactive process of a method for processing device information provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 6 As shown, the mirroring system 140 is mounted in the second electronic device 120, and the method includes:

[0116] In the case where the first electronic device 110 communicates abnormally with the second electronic device 120 through the IPMI interface, the first electronic device 110 sends the mirror system file to the BMC 130 through the redfish interface (S201). The BMC 130 stores the mirror system file in the memory of the second electronic device, so that the CPU of the second electronic device starts the mirror system 140 through the driver in the mirror system file (S202). After the mirror system 140 is started, the mirror system 140 obtains the redfish token of the BMC 130 through the IPMI, so that the BMC 130 can interact with the mirror system 140. The first electronic device 110 sends a processing instruction to the BMC 130 through the redfish interface (S203). Among them, the processing instruction is used to instruct to update the device information, and the device information is stored in the BMC or the basic input and output system BIOS chip of the second electronic device.

[0117] BMC 130 sends the processing instruction to the mirror system 140 (S204). The mirror system 140 runs the application to change the device information (S205). The first electronic device sends a query instruction to BMC 130 through the redfish interface (S206), wherein the query instruction is used to instruct BMC to obtain processing information from the mirror system; the processing information includes processing results and / or processing progress. BMC 130 sends the query instruction to the mirror system 140 (S207). BMC 130 obtains the processing information in the mirror system (S208). BMC 130 sends the processing information to the first electronic device through the redfish interface (S209). The above method can not only process the device information stored in the basic input and output system BIOS chip in the second electronic device, but also realize that the first electronic device processes the device information of the second electronic device when the first electronic device 110 communicates abnormally with the second electronic device 120 through the IPMI interface.

[0118] Figure 7 The following is a logic diagram of a method for performing white-card operation on at least two second electronic devices provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method is executed by a first electronic device, such as Figure 7As shown, the first electronic device obtains white-card content (S301), and the white-card content indicates the electronic label and / or BIOS Logo that needs to be deleted. The first electronic device determines whether the white-card content includes the BIOS Logo (S302). If so, the first electronic device determines the mirror system file (S304). Specifically, the first electronic device can determine the mirror system file based on the architecture information of at least two second electronic devices. If the second electronic device is an ARM architecture computing device, the first electronic device determines that the mirror system file is the first mirror system file loaded by the electronic device that supports the ARM architecture. The first mirror system file includes the operating system core files and drivers under the ARM architecture. If the second electronic device is an X86 architecture computing device, the first electronic device determines that the mirror system file is the second mirror system file loaded by the electronic device that supports the X86 architecture.

[0119] If not, the first electronic device determines whether IPMI is available (S303); specifically, the first electronic device can try to connect to at least two second electronic devices through the IPMI management tool. If they can successfully connect and obtain the temperature and / or fan speed of the second electronic device, it means that IPMI is available. If IPMI is available, the first electronic device sends an IPMI white card script to at least two second electronic devices through IPMI (S305). The IPMI white card script includes connection information, white card instructions and white card content. At least two second electronic devices receive the IPMI processing script through their respective BMCs, and execute the white card instructions in the IPMI processing script to delete the white card content that needs to be white carded in each second electronic device. The first electronic device receives the execution result of the IPMI white card script (S306), and the process ends (S311). If IPMI is not available, the first electronic device determines the mirror system file (S304).

[0120] The first electronic device sends a mirror system file to at least two second electronic devices through the redfish interface (S307), and each second electronic device receives the mirror system file through its own BMC and stores the mirror system file in the memory of the BMC, thereby starting the mirror system through the driver in the mirror system file. After each second electronic device starts the mirror system, the first electronic device sends a white card processing instruction to the BMC of at least two second electronic devices through the redfish interface (S308). Specifically, the first electronic device starts the Hypertext Transfer Protocol HTTP service, and sends a white card instruction to the BMC of at least two second electronic devices through an HTTP request. The mirror system corresponding to each second electronic device obtains the white card instruction from the BMC, and the mirror system runs the application according to the white card content and executes the white card instruction. The first electronic device sends a query instruction to the BMC of at least two second electronic devices through the redfish interface (S309), and the BMC of each second electronic device forwards the query instruction to its own mirror system, executes the query instruction, and obtains processing information, and the processing information includes processing results and / or processing progress. The first electronic device obtains the processing information sent by the BMC of each second electronic device (S310). After the mirror system in the second electronic device successfully executes the white card instruction, the first electronic device can delete the mirror system files in each second electronic device through the redfish interface, and the process ends (S311).

[0121] As can be seen from the above, the first electronic device adaptively selects the white card operation channel according to the white card content, which can not only realize batch white card operation of the first electronic device, but also improve the success rate of white card operation, thereby improving the efficiency of white card operation of the electronic device.

[0122] In summary, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for device information processing, which is used to improve the processing efficiency of device information of a first electronic device, and specifically can improve the efficiency of white-label operation of an electronic device. The method is executed by a first electronic device, and includes the first electronic device obtaining a mirror system file and mounting the mirror system file to a second electronic device. Among them, the second electronic device supports loading a mirror system file to run a mirror system, and an application for changing device information runs in the mirror system. The first electronic device sends a processing instruction to the second electronic device, and the second electronic device processes the device information by running the application in the mirror system. Among them, the processing instruction is used to instruct to change the device information. The above method mounts the mirror system file to the second electronic device, and implements the processing operation of the device information of the second electronic device by running the application in the mirror file, thereby improving the success rate of device information processing and thus improving the efficiency of device information processing.

There may be other division methods in actual implementation.

[0125] For example, Figure 8 FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of a device information processing apparatus 400 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 As shown, the device information processing apparatus 400 can be applied to manage computing equipment, and the device information processing apparatus 400 includes:

[0126] The connection module 410 is used to obtain the mirror system file; mount the mirror system file to the second electronic device; wherein the second electronic device supports loading the mirror system file to run the mirror system, and an application for changing device information runs in the mirror system.

Usually, a VPC is set up in a region. For cross-region communication between two VPCs in the same region and between VPCs in different regions, a communication gateway needs to be set up in each VPC to achieve interconnection between VPCs through the communication gateway.
