[0052] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer and more understandable, 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.

[0053] The method for determining configuration information provided by the embodiments of the present application can be applied to an application environment as Figure 1 shown. Among them, the computer device may be a server, and its internal structure diagram may be as Figure 1 shown. The computer device includes a processor, a memory, an input / output interface (Input / Output, abbreviated as I / O), and a communication interface.

The input / output interface of the computer device is used to exchange information between the processor and external devices. The communication interface of the computer device is used to communicate with external terminals through a network connection. When the computer program is executed by the processor, it implements a method for determining configuration information.

[0054] Those skilled in the art can understand that Figure 1 The structure shown in Figure 1 is only a block diagram of some structures related to the solution of this application, and does not constitute a limitation on the computer device to which the solution of this application is applied. The specific computer device may include more or fewer components than those shown in the figure, or combine some components, or have a different component layout.

[0055] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, a method for determining configuration information is provided. Taking the server in Figure 2 as an example for illustration, the above method includes: Figure 1 In Figure 1 , the above method includes:

[0056] S201, obtain the first configuration identifier set of the first configuration information of the baseboard management controller (BMC) to be updated.

[0057] Among them, the baseboard management controller (BMC) is a dedicated service processor. The BMC can use sensors to monitor the status of a computer, a network server, or other hardware drive devices. The first configuration information is the current configuration information of each sub-module of the BMC to be updated. Exemplarily, the first configuration information may include the current user configuration information, network configuration information, alarm configuration information, time configuration information, log configuration information, etc. of the BMC. The first configuration identifier set includes the configuration identifiers corresponding to the current configuration information of each sub-module of the BMC.

[0058] In this embodiment, the user can modify the first configuration information of the BMC to be updated, but the user cannot modify the first configuration identifier set of the first configuration information. The server may pre-store the update files during the historical updates of the BMC to be updated, and can parse the update files during the historical updates to obtain the first configuration identifier set of the first configuration information of the BMC to be updated; or, the server may pre-store the installation files during the installation of the BMC to be updated, and can parse the installation files to obtain the first configuration identifier set of the first configuration information of the BMC to be updated.

[0059] S202, in the case of receiving the update file of the BMC to be updated, obtain the second configuration identifier set of the second configuration information of the BMC to be updated from the update file.

[0060] Among them, the update file of the BMC to be updated may include an image file, second configuration information corresponding to the image file, and other information. The image file is used to update the BMC to be updated. The second configuration information is the configuration information corresponding to each sub-module of the BMC in the update file. The other information may include the manufacturer information of the BMC, the update purpose information of the BMC, etc. Exemplarily, the second configuration information may include default user configuration information, network configuration information, alarm configuration information, time configuration information, log configuration information, Basic Input Output System (BIOS) configuration information, etc.

[0061] In this embodiment, after the server receives the update file of the BMC to be updated, it can decompress the update file and read the second configuration identifier set of the second configuration information of the BMC to be updated from the decompressed update file.

[0062] S203. Determine the target configuration information of the updated BMC from the first configuration information and the second configuration information according to the first configuration identifier set and the second configuration identifier set.

[0063] Optionally, in this embodiment, it is possible to determine whether the configuration structure of the BMC in the update file is the same as the configuration structure of the BMC to be updated through the first configuration identifier set and the second configuration identifier set. Further, according to the determination information on whether the configuration structure of the BMC in the update file is the same as the configuration structure of the BMC to be updated, the target configuration information is determined from the first configuration information and the second configuration information. Optionally, when the configuration structure of the BMC in the update file is the same as the configuration structure of the BMC to be updated, the first configuration information or the second configuration information may be determined as the target configuration information of the updated BMC; or, when the configuration structure of the BMC in the update file is different from the configuration structure of the BMC to be updated, the first configuration information may be updated using the second configuration information, and the updated first configuration information may be determined as the target configuration information, or the second configuration information may be directly determined as the target configuration information.

[0064] Optionally, in this embodiment, a consistency comparison may be performed on the first configuration identifier set and the second configuration identifier set to obtain the similarity between the first configuration identifier set and the second configuration identifier set. If the similarity is greater than or equal to a preset similarity threshold, it may be determined that the configuration structure of the BMC in the update file is the same as the configuration structure of the BMC to be updated. If the similarity is less than the preset similarity threshold, it may be determined that the configuration structure of the BMC in the update file is different from the configuration structure of the BMC to be updated.

[0065] In the method for determining the above configuration information, a first configuration identifier set corresponding to the BMC to be updated can be obtained from the BMC to be updated, and in the case of receiving an update file of the BMC to be updated, a configuration identifier set of the second configuration information matching the update file can be obtained from the update file of the BMC to be updated, so that it is possible to determine whether the configuration structure of the updated BMC is the same as the configuration structure of the BMC to be updated according to the first configuration identifier set and the second configuration identifier set. In this way, based on the determination information of whether the configuration structure of the updated BMC is the same as the configuration structure of the BMC to be updated, the target configuration information of the updated BMC can be determined from the first configuration information and the second configuration information, avoiding the problem that the first configuration information is still used as the target configuration information to configure the updated BMC when the configuration structure of the updated BMC is different from the configuration structure of the BMC to be updated, resulting in the BMC not working properly. The target configuration information of the updated BMC can be accurately determined from the first configuration information and the second configuration information of the BMC to be updated. In this way, the determined target configuration information is used when configuring the updated BMC, ensuring the accuracy of configuring the updated BMC, and further improving the efficiency of configuring the updated BMC.

[0066] In the above scenario of determining the target configuration information of the updated BMC from the first configuration information and the second configuration information according to the first configuration identifier set and the second configuration identifier set, the compatibility information of the first configuration identifier set and the second configuration identifier set can be determined first, and then the target configuration information of the updated BMC can be determined from the first configuration information and the second configuration information according to the compatibility information. In one embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the above S203 includes:

[0067] S301, determine the compatibility information of the first configuration identifier set and the second configuration identifier set.

[0068] In this embodiment, the first configuration identifier set includes multiple first configuration identifiers, and the second configuration identifier set includes multiple second configuration identifiers. The compatibility of the first configuration identifier set and the second configuration identifier set can be judged according to the multiple first configuration identifiers and the multiple second configuration identifiers to obtain the compatibility information of the first configuration identifier set and the second configuration identifier set.

[0069] Optionally, in this embodiment, it can be determined whether there are corresponding second configuration identifiers for each first configuration identifier in the second configuration identifier set, so as to obtain the sub-compatibility information between each first configuration identifier and the second configuration identifier in the second configuration identifier set, and according to a plurality of sub-compatibility information, determine the compatibility information between the first configuration identifier set and the second configuration identifier set. Exemplarily, the ratio of the number of sub-compatibility information calculated as compatible to the number of first configuration identifiers in the first configuration identifier set can be calculated. If the ratio is greater than a preset ratio threshold, it is determined that the first configuration identifier set is compatible with the second configuration identifier set. If the ratio is less than the threshold ratio threshold, it is determined that the first configuration identifier set is not compatible with the second configuration identifier set.

[0070] Optionally, in this embodiment, the data format of the compatibility information between the first configuration identifier set and the second configuration identifier set can be any data format such as the JS key-value pair data (JavaScript Object Notation, JSON) format, the byte format, etc. This embodiment does not make a limitation here.

[0071] S302. According to the compatibility information, determine the target configuration information of the updated BMC from the first configuration information and the second configuration information.

[0072] In this embodiment, the compatibility information between the first configuration identifier set and the second configuration identifier set can indicate whether the first configuration identifier set and the second configuration identifier set are compatible.

[0073] Optionally, since the first configuration information of each sub-module in the first configuration information corresponds one-to-one with each first configuration identifier, and the second configuration information corresponding to each sub-module in the second configuration information corresponds one-to-one with each second configuration identifier. If the first configuration identifier set is compatible with the second configuration identifier set, the first configuration information corresponding to the first configuration identifier can be determined as the second configuration information of the second configuration identifier that is compatible with the first configuration identifier. If the first configuration identifier set is not compatible with the second configuration identifier set, the above second configuration information can be determined as the target configuration information.

[0074] In this embodiment, according to the compatibility information between the first configuration identifier set and the second configuration identifier set, the target configuration information of the updated BMC in different situations can be determined, so that the determined target configuration information can match the configuration structure of the updated BMC, thereby improving the efficiency of configuring the updated BMC.

[0075] In the above scenario of determining the target configuration information of the updated BMC from the first configuration information and the second configuration information according to the compatibility information, when the compatibility information is compatible, the first configuration information can be directly determined as the target configuration information. When the compatibility information is not compatible, the second configuration information can be determined as the target configuration information. In one embodiment, such as Figure 4As shown above, S302 includes:

[0076] S401, if the compatibility information indicates that the first configuration identification set and the second configuration identification set are incompatible, then determine the second configuration information as the target configuration information.

[0077] In this embodiment, when the compatibility information indicates that the first configuration identification set and the second configuration identification set are incompatible, that is, when the configuration structure of the updated BMC is different from the configuration structure of the BMC to be updated, determine the second configuration information in the update file as the target configuration information, and use the second configuration information to configure the updated BMC, which can avoid configuration failure and cause the BMC to fail to work properly.

[0078] S402, if the compatibility information indicates that the first configuration identification set and the second configuration identification set are compatible, then determine the first configuration information as the target configuration information.

[0079] In this embodiment, when the compatibility information indicates that the first configuration identification set and the second configuration identification set are compatible, that is, when the configuration structure of the updated BMC is the same as the configuration structure of the BMC to be updated, the existing first configuration information in the server can be determined as the target configuration information. In this case, using the first configuration information to configure the updated BMC can not only make the target configuration information more match the actual usage requirements of the BMC, but also avoid configuration failure due to the different configuration structures of the updated BMC and the BMC to be updated.

[0080] In this embodiment, when the first configuration identification set and the second configuration identification set are compatible, the first configuration information is determined as the target configuration information; when the first configuration identification set and the second configuration identification set are incompatible, the second configuration information is determined as the target configuration information. When the configuration structure of the updated BMC is different from the configuration structure of the BMC to be updated, it is ensured that the BMC can work properly after being configured. At the same time, when the configuration structure of the updated BMC is the same as the configuration structure of the BMC to be updated, the first configuration information of the BMC to be updated can continue to be used as the target configuration information.

[0081] In the above scenario of determining the compatibility information between the first configuration identification set and the second configuration identification set, it can be determined whether the first configuration identification set and the second configuration identification set are compatible according to whether each first configuration identification in the first configuration identification set is the same as each second configuration identification in the second configuration identification set. In one embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown above, S301 includes:

[0082] S501, if each first configuration identifier in the first configuration identifier set is the same as each second configuration identifier in the second configuration identifier set, determine that the compatibility information is that the first configuration identifier set is compatible with the second configuration identifier set.

[0083] Optionally, it can be determined whether the number of first configuration identifiers in the first configuration identifier set is the same as the number of second configuration identifiers in the second configuration identifier set. If the number of first configuration identifiers is the same as the number of second configuration identifiers, it is determined that each first configuration identifier has a corresponding second configuration identifier. Further, it can be determined that the first configuration identifier set is compatible with the second configuration identifier set.

[0084] In this embodiment, when each first configuration identifier in the first configuration identifier set is the same as each second configuration identifier in the second configuration identifier set, it means that the configuration structures of each sub-module of the BMC updated according to the update file are the same as the configuration structures of each sub-module of the BMC to be updated. Then, the first configuration identifier set is compatible with the second configuration identifier set.

[0085] Exemplarily, if the first configuration identifier set includes first configuration identifier 1, first configuration identifier 2, and first configuration identifier 3, and the second configuration identifier set includes second configuration identifier 1, second configuration identifier 2, and second configuration identifier 3, and first configuration identifier 1 corresponds to and is the same as second configuration identifier 1, first configuration identifier 2 corresponds to and is the same as second configuration identifier 2, and first configuration identifier 3 corresponds to and is the same as second configuration identifier 3, determine that the compatibility information is that the first configuration identifier set is compatible with the second configuration identifier set.

[0086] S502, if there is a second configuration identifier in the second configuration identifier set that is different from each first configuration identifier in the first configuration identifier set, determine that the compatibility information is that the first configuration identifier set is not compatible with the second configuration identifier set.

[0087] In this embodiment, when there is a second configuration identifier in the second configuration identifier set that is different from each first configuration identifier in the first configuration identifier set, it means that there is a sub-module in the BMC updated according to the update file whose configuration structure is different from that of the sub-module of the BMC to be updated. Then, the first configuration identifier set is not compatible with the second configuration identifier set.

[0088] Exemplarily, if the first configuration identifier set includes first configuration identifier 1, first configuration identifier 2, and first configuration identifier 3, and the second configuration identifier set includes second configuration identifier 1, second configuration identifier 2, and second configuration identifier 3, and first configuration identifier 1 corresponds to but is not the same as second configuration identifier 1, first configuration identifier 2 corresponds to and is the same as second configuration identifier 2, and first configuration identifier 3 corresponds to and is the same as second configuration identifier 3, determine that the compatibility information is that the first configuration identifier set is not compatible with the second configuration identifier set.

[0089] Optionally, if there is a newly added second configuration identifier in the second configuration identifier set, or if the first configuration identifier set is missing a first configuration identifier in the second configuration identifier set, it is determined that there is a second configuration identifier in the second configuration identifier set that is different from each first configuration identifier in the first configuration identifier set. Exemplarily, if there are a first configuration identifier 1 and a first configuration identifier 2 in the first configuration identifier, there are a second configuration identifier 1, a second configuration identifier 2, and a second configuration identifier 3 in the second configuration identifier set, the first configuration identifier 1 corresponds to the second configuration identifier 1, the first configuration identifier 2 corresponds to the second configuration identifier 2, and the second configuration identifier 3 is the newly added second configuration identifier, then it is determined that there is a second configuration identifier in the second configuration identifier set that is different from each first configuration identifier in the first configuration identifier set; or, if there are a first configuration identifier 1, a first configuration identifier 2, and a first configuration identifier 4 in the first configuration identifier, there are a second configuration identifier 1, a second configuration identifier 2, and a second configuration identifier 3 in the second configuration identifier set, the first configuration identifier 1 corresponds to the second configuration identifier 1, the first configuration identifier 2 corresponds to the second configuration identifier 2, the second configuration identifier 3 is the newly added second configuration identifier, and the first configuration identifier 4 is the first configuration identifier in the first configuration identifier set that is missing in the second configuration identifier set, then it is determined that there is a second configuration identifier in the second configuration identifier set that is different from each first configuration identifier in the first configuration identifier set.

[0090] In this embodiment, by determining whether the first configuration identifiers in the first configuration identifier set are the same as the second configuration identifiers in the second configuration identifier set, the compatibility information between the first configuration identifier set and the second configuration identifier set is determined, and the accuracy of the compatibility information is relatively high, thereby improving the accuracy of the determined target configuration information.

[0091] After determining the compatibility information between the first configuration identifier set and the second configuration identifier set, the compatibility information can be displayed to the user through the user interaction interface, and the BMC to be updated can be operated according to the operation instruction triggered by the user. In one embodiment, as Figure 6 shown, the above method further includes:

[0092] S601, display the compatibility information through the user interaction interface.

[0093] In this embodiment, the user interaction interface can be the user interaction interface of the server itself, or the server can send the compatibility information to the client, and the client displays the compatibility information to the user through the user interaction interface.

[0094] Optionally, in this embodiment, the compatibility information between the first configuration identifier set and the second configuration identifier set can be displayed through the user interaction interface, or the compatibility information between each first configuration identifier and the corresponding second configuration identifier can be displayed through the user interaction interface based on the compatibility information between the first configuration identifier set and the second configuration identifier set.

[0095] S602. Receive an operation instruction triggered by the user based on the compatibility information.

[0096] Among them, the operation instruction includes an operation instruction to update the BMC to be updated and an operation instruction not to update the BMC to be updated.

[0097] In this embodiment, the user can trigger an operation instruction by clicking an option on the user interface, or the user can trigger an operation instruction by voice input.

[0098] S603. When the operation instruction indicates to update the BMC to be updated, use the BMC update file to update the BMC to be updated.

[0099] In this embodiment, when the operation instruction indicates to update the BMC to be updated, use the image file in the BMC update file to update the BMC to be updated to obtain the updated BMC. Further, if the target configuration information is the first configuration information, configure the updated BMC with the first configuration information. If the target configuration information is the second configuration information, configure the updated BMC with the second configuration information.

[0100] Optionally, the client and the server can communicate through the redfish interface. After receiving the update operation instruction, the server can update the BMC to be updated according to the image file in the pre-stored update file, or obtain the image file from other servers to update the BMC to be updated. If the backup image file of the BMC to be updated is used to update the BMC to be updated, the compatibility of the first configuration identification set and the second configuration identification set is no longer considered.

[0101] In this embodiment, the compatibility information is displayed through the interaction interface, and the BMC to be updated is operated according to the operation instruction triggered by the user, so that the user can understand the whole process of updating the BMC to be updated.

[0102] Next, a specific scenario for determining configuration information is used to introduce an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method includes the following steps:

[0103] S1. Obtain the first configuration identification set of the first configuration information of the baseboard management controller (BMC) to be updated.

[0104] S2. When receiving the update file of the BMC to be updated, obtain the second configuration identification set of the second configuration information of the BMC to be updated from the update file.

[0105] S3. If each first configuration identifier in the first configuration identifier set is the same as each second configuration identifier in the second configuration identifier set, determine that the compatibility information indicates that the first configuration identifier set is compatible with the second configuration identifier set; if there is a second configuration identifier in the second configuration identifier set that is different from each first configuration identifier in the first configuration identifier set, determine that the compatibility information indicates that the first configuration identifier set is incompatible with the second configuration identifier set; if there is a newly added second configuration identifier in the second configuration identifier set, or if the second configuration identifier set is missing a first configuration identifier in the first configuration identifier set, determine that there is a second configuration identifier in the second configuration identifier set that is different from each first configuration identifier in the first configuration identifier set.

[0106] S4. If the compatibility information indicates that the first configuration identifier set is incompatible with the second configuration identifier set, determine the second configuration information as the target configuration information; if the compatibility information indicates that the first configuration identifier set is compatible with the second configuration identifier set, determine the first configuration information as the target configuration information.

[0107] S5. Display the compatibility information through the user interaction interface.

[0108] S6. Receive an operation instruction triggered by the user based on the compatibility information.

[0109] S7. When the operation instruction indicates to update the BMC to be updated, update the BMC to be updated using the BMC update file.

[0110] In the above method for determining the configuration information, the first configuration identifier set corresponding to the BMC to be updated can be obtained from the BMC to be updated. When receiving the update file of the BMC to be updated, the configuration identifier set of the second configuration information matching the update file can be obtained from the update file of the BMC to be updated. Thus, it is possible to determine whether the configuration structure of the updated BMC is the same as the configuration structure of the BMC to be updated based on the first configuration identifier set and the second configuration identifier set. In this way, based on the determination information of whether the configuration structure of the updated BMC is the same as the configuration structure of the BMC to be updated, the target configuration information of the updated BMC can be determined from the first configuration information and the second configuration information, avoiding the problem that the first configuration information is still used as the target configuration information to configure the updated BMC when the configuration structure of the updated BMC is different from the configuration structure of the BMC to be updated, resulting in the BMC not working properly. It can accurately determine the target configuration information of the updated BMC from the first configuration information and the second configuration information of the BMC to be updated. In this way, the determined target configuration information is used when configuring the updated BMC, ensuring the accuracy of configuring the updated BMC, and thus improving the efficiency of configuring the updated BMC.
