[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of servers, and in particular to a method, system, device, and medium for configuring a network card during a server startup process. Background Art

[0002] Smart NICs (Smart NICs) in servers primarily reduce the burden on server processors, improve data processing capabilities, and adapt to the demands of virtualized environments. As Smart NICs become increasingly powerful, their startup time is also increasing. This often leads to the Smart NIC not being ready when the server initializes and connects to it, causing it to go undetected or fail to load.

[0003] In some related technologies, in order to solve the above problem, the method of always keeping the PCIE port of the server open and delaying PCIE initialization to wait is usually adopted. However, this method will increase the startup time of the server regardless of whether the server is connected to the smart network card, and it is impossible to accurately evaluate the waiting time, which greatly increases the time it takes for the server to adapt to the smart network card and affects the normal operation of the business in the server. Summary of the Invention

[0027] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] It should be noted that, in the description of this application, the terms "comprises," "includes," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or device. The terms "first," "second," etc., in this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a particular order or sequence.

[0029] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0030] The embodiment of the present application provides a method for configuring a network card during a server startup process, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0031] Step 1: Connect the connectors of the server's motherboard and the network card through an extension power cable so that the server and the network card can communicate through a serial bus.

[0032] The network card in this embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the configuration is selected to include but not limited to a BF2 network card or a BF3 network card. By setting a separate extended power cord on the server's motherboard, the other end of the extended power cord is connected to the gold finger of the network card to achieve communication connection between the server and the network card, and the network card can be powered separately through the extended power supply. At the same time, BMC and BIOS are configured in the server, and the BMC and BIOS communicate with the network card through the I2C bus. It should be noted that BMC is the Baseboard Management Controller, also known as the baseboard management controller, which is used to monitor and manage the server; BIOS is the Basic Input Output System, also known as the basic input and output system, which is used to implement parameter settings for the server system hardware.

[0033] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the network card connected to the server's mainboard can be adapted to the server, it also includes: querying the type parameters of the network card, and obtaining the slot parameters of the server's mainboard, and confirming that the type parameters match the slot parameters; querying the operating system parameters supported by the network card, and matching them with the system identifier in the server, and in response to the operating system parameters matching the system identifier, confirming that the network card is compatible with the server.

[0034] Exemplarily, the slot parameters of the server's motherboard include the slot type and slot version. The PCIE slot type of the server's motherboard is obtained, including x8 and x16. The slot version of the server's motherboard is obtained, including PCIE 3.0 and PCIE4.0. The slot type and slot version supported by the network card are queried according to the material number of the network card. It is confirmed that the above slot type and slot version are within the range supported by the network card, thereby confirming that the type parameter matches the slot parameter.

[0035] Step 2: In response to the server starting up, the controller of the server reads the field replaceable unit information of the network card through the serial bus, and confirms the existence of the network card according to the field replaceable unit information.

[0036] Specifically, step 2.1, the controller of the server reads the field replaceable unit information of the network card through the serial bus;

[0037] Step 2.2: If the reading is successful, the preset field in the field replaceable unit information is read through the preset protocol. If the preset field matches the target model of the network card, the network card is confirmed to exist.

[0038] Step 2.3: If the reading is unsuccessful, the server will be re-read a preset number of times. If the number of re-reads exceeds the preset number, it is confirmed that the network card does not exist, and the server startup process without the network card is executed.

[0039] When the server is powered on, the server's BMC or BIOS is configured to read the Smart NIC's field replaceable unit (FRU) information through the cheat sheet and the FRU protocol. This involves reading the Smart NIC's EEPROM through the cheat sheet's I2C interface and reading the Product Name field in the FRU. If the Product Name field in the FRU matches the target model of the NIC, the NIC is confirmed to exist.

[0040] Furthermore, if reading the field replaceable unit information fails, retry three times is set. If it still fails after three times, it means that the smart network card does not exist, and the server startup process without the network card is executed.

[0041] Step 3: In response to confirming the existence of the network card, query the initialization status of the network card; in response to confirming that the initialization of the network card is complete, execute the server startup process.

[0042] After confirming the existence of the network card, querying the initialization status of the network card to confirm that the initialization of the network card is complete, specifically including: in response to confirming the existence of the network card, querying a preset instruction for identifying the initialization status of the network card through a controller of the server; the preset instruction is used to enable the basic input and output system of the server to access the register of the network card and read the register value of the network card; in response to confirming that the register value of the network card includes the preset value, confirming that the initialization of the network card is complete.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the IPMI instruction of the network card is queried through the server's BMC, where the IPMI instruction is used to indicate the initialization status of the smart network card. The server BMC accesses the registers in the smart network card system through the MCTP over Smbus protocol and reads the register value of the smart network card. The register value is preset to 0X02 to indicate that the network card initialization is complete. That is, when the register value of the smart network card includes 0X02, it indicates that the network card initialization is complete.

[0044] Step 3.1. In response to the network card initialization not being completed, set a preset time to wait for the network card initialization; within the preset time, cyclically query the initialization status of the network card until the network card initialization is completed; or in response to the network card initialization not being completed within the preset time, confirm that the network card initialization has failed, and execute the server startup process without the network card.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, if the network card initialization is not completed, it is necessary to print "Waiting for Smart NIC initialization to complete" on the screen, delay for 2 seconds, continue to check the Smart NIC initialization status, and execute the loop until the Smart NIC initialization is completed; or if the waiting time exceeds 5 minutes, after the waiting time exceeds 5 minutes, if the Smart NIC initialization is not completed, print "Smart NIC initialization failure", send the BMC SEL error log, and continue to boot.

[0046] In a specific embodiment, the use of the smart network card in the server needs to be confirmed based on the business it actually processes. When the smart network card needs to be used, it is necessary to control the startup of the smart network card and perform relevant configurations, specifically including: obtaining the current business scenario of the server, and configuring the host power supply of the server and the extended power state of the network card according to the power usage status in the current business scenario; obtaining the next business scenario of the server, and adjusting the configuration state of the network card according to the configuration state of the network card in the next business scenario. If the configuration state of the network card is different from the network card state in the current business scenario, the configuration state of the network card is adjusted; in response to the adjustment of the configuration state of the network card, a power state switching command is executed through the controller of the server to switch the extended power state of the network card to power on or off through the switching command.

[0047] Among them, when the switching command is to power on the extended power supply, the control server startup process will instruct the extended power supply of the network card to power on through the extended power supply power-on instruction to realize the power-on of the network card; when the switching command is to shut down the extended power supply, the control server startup process will instruct the extended power supply of the network card to shut down through the extended power supply shutdown instruction to realize the power-off of the network card.

[0048] Specifically, the server's power state is configured through the server's BIOS, and the switch between different power states is achieved through the server's BMC, such as Figure 5 As shown in the figure, IPMI commands are used to switch to different power states. The server power states include S5, ExS5, and S0. S5 indicates that the server is in S5 state and the Smart NIC is powered. ExS5 indicates that the extended power supply is in S5 state, and the server motherboard and Smart NIC are powered off. S0 indicates that the server is in S0 state and the remote display is enabled, that is, the normal screen is displayed through KVM and VNC.

[0049] For example, the power-on command for controlling the server is "ipmitool chassis power on", and the power-off command for controlling the server is "ipmitool chassis power off". The extended power-on command implements extended power-on based on ipmitoolraw, and powers on the smart network card during the startup process. The extended power-off command implements extended power-off based on ipmitool raw, and powers off the smart network card during the shutdown process.

[0050] For example, in the current business scenario of the server, when the smart network card needs to be used, the server power is configured to be turned on, and the extended power supply is configured to power the smart network card; after the current business is completed, the next business to be executed in the server is obtained. If the business to be executed needs to continue to use the smart network card, the configuration status of the network card is not adjusted. If the business to be executed does not need to continue to use the smart network card, the configuration status of the network card is adjusted, that is, the extended power status of the network card is switched to power off.

[0051] Furthermore, since there are multiple tasks that need to be executed in the server, and different task types need to be implemented in combination with network cards of different functions, when obtaining the next business to be executed on the server, the functional configuration information of the business to be executed is queried at the same time, and matched with the functional type of the current smart network card. If the functional configuration information of the business to be executed matches the functional type of the current smart network card, the current smart network card is confirmed to be retained; if the functional configuration information of the business to be executed does not match the functional type of the current smart network card, the updated smart network card associated with it is queried in combination with the functional configuration information of the business to be executed, and the updated smart network card is set to match the functional configuration information of the business to be executed, so as to set the updated smart network card as the associated network card of the business to be executed. At the same time, the extended power state of the current smart network card is set to be network card power-off, and the extended power state associated with the updated smart network card is configured to be updated smart network card power-on.

[0052] It should be noted that since multiple smart network cards are configured in the server, and each smart network card is configured with a separate extended power supply for powering it, in order to ensure that the server's BMC can accurately adjust the status of each extended power supply to control the power supply to each smart network card, the extended power supplies associated with the smart network cards are set to be associated with the corresponding network card numbers, that is, the extended power supplies are set to have corresponding network card numbers, and the network card numbers are associated with their corresponding smart network cards one-to-one, and the above information is formed into an information list to be configured in the server. In response to the need to configure power supply for one of the smart network cards, the network card number associated with the smart network card is queried through the information list, and its extended power supply is obtained according to the network card number, so as to realize the power on or off of the smart network card by configuring the status of the extended power supply to suit different functional services.

[0053] Through the above settings, the server's motherboard and the gold finger of the network card are connected through a separate power cord to achieve communication connection between the server and the network card. At the same time, power is supplied to the smart network card separately through the extended power supply. During the server startup process, the field replaceable replacement unit information of the network card is first read through the serial bus, and the existence of the network card is confirmed according to the field replaceable unit information. Then, the initialization status of the network card is queried. After confirming that the initialization of the network card is completed, the server startup process is executed. By accurately identifying the smart network card during the server startup process, the existence of the smart network card is confirmed, and the server startup process is executed after its initialization is completed, thereby reducing the waiting time of the server and speeding up the server startup process.

[0054] Through the description of the above implementation methods, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the method according to the above embodiment can be implemented by means of software plus the necessary general hardware platform, and of course it can also be implemented by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation method.

[0065] In a specific embodiment, the adjustment module also includes if the switching command is to power on the extended power supply, then during the control server startup process, the extended power supply of the network card is instructed to be turned on through the extended power supply power-on instruction to power on the network card; if the switching command is to shut down the extended power supply, then during the control server startup process, the extended power supply of the network card is instructed to be shut down through the extended power supply shutdown instruction to power off the network card.
