[0001] Cross-reference to related applications

[0002] The present application claims priority from the Chinese patent application No. 202411116127.X filed on August 14, 2024, and entitled "Server startup control method and device, storage medium and electronic device", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] Embodiments of the present application relate to the field of computers, in particular to a server startup control method and device, a storage medium and an electronic device. BACKGROUND

[0004] PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) is a network boot technology that allows users to start a computer from a network without using local storage (such as a hard disk). PXE uses a special network protocol called Preboot Execution Protocol (PXE), which allows client machines to obtain the required boot files from the network. PXE supports multiple operating systems. Its main application scenarios include automatic installation of systems, system maintenance, system disaster recovery, system remote update, virtualization deployment, network boot, etc. It has obvious advantages in various application scenarios, including reducing installation time, saving maintenance costs, security, reliability, timely updating to improve update efficiency, reducing deployment time, improving deployment efficiency, improving system startup efficiency, etc. and is widely used on servers.

[0005] In related technologies, when a client specifies to start the operating system of a server through a network card PXE, it can only be done through hardware modification, customizing the BIOS version, or disabling the PXE function of other network cards, etc. Understandably, these methods are a serious waste of manpower and resources, and increase the difficulty of subsequent maintenance or version upgrades.

The method of claim 10, wherein, the starting system is deployed with an adjustment component, and the deleting the starting item corresponding to the difference bus device from the starting item comprises: in a case where the starting item comprises P starting items, and the difference bus device comprises R bus devices, deleting R starting items corresponding to the R bus devices from the P starting items, wherein P is a positive integer less than or equal to M, and R is a positive integer, comprising: controlling the adjustment component to find the R starting items corresponding to the R bus devices from the P starting items; and controlling the adjustment component to delete the R starting items.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein, the detecting the target bus device connected by the server from the reference bus device comprises: finding the target bus device from the reference bus device in a polling manner.

13. The method of claim 6, wherein, the comparing whether the i-th group of bus device attributes and the target bus device attributes are consistent comprises: in a case where a third number of bus device attributes included in the i-th group of bus device attributes is same as a fourth number of bus device attributes included in the target bus device attributes, and each bus device attribute included in the i-th group of bus device attributes is same as a corresponding bus device attribute in the target bus device attributes, determining that the i-th group of bus device attributes and the target bus device attributes are consistent.

14. The method of claim 6, wherein, the comparing whether the i-th group of bus device attributes and the target bus device attributes are consistent further comprises: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ In a case where the third number of bus device attributes included in the i-th group of bus device attributes is different from the fourth number of bus device attributes included in the target bus device attributes, and / or in a case where at least one of the bus device attributes included in the i-th group of bus device attributes is different from the bus device attributes in the target bus device attributes, it is determined that the i-th group of bus device attributes is inconsistent with the target bus device attributes.

15. The method of claim 6, wherein, The bus device attributes include a device identifier of the bus device and a device type of the bus device.

16. The method of claim 10, wherein, The startup system is deployed with a generation component, and the method further includes: In a case where the difference bus device is included in the second candidate bus device and is not included in the reference bus device, the generation component is controlled to generate a startup item corresponding to the difference bus device.

17. An apparatus for controlling startup of a server, applied to a startup system of a server, wherein a target storage location in the server records a reference bus device allowing an operating system of the server to be started according to a target network protocol, the target storage location is configured to allow the startup system to access in a case where the server is not started, and the apparatus includes: an accessing module configured to access the target storage location to obtain the reference bus device in a case where a startup process of the server is controlled to run to a startup stage of the operating system; a first detecting module configured to detect a target bus device connected to the server from the reference bus device; a generating module configured to generate a startup item corresponding to the target bus device and conforming to the target network protocol in a case where the target bus device is detected from the reference bus device; a starting module configured to start the operating system using the startup item.

18. A computer non-volatile readable storage medium, wherein the computer non-volatile readable storage medium stores a computer program, and the computer program is executed by a processor to implement steps of the method in any one of claims 1 to 16.

19. An electronic device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the computer program to implement steps of the method in any one of claims 1 to 16.

20. A computer program product, including a computer program, wherein the computer program is executed by a processor to implement steps of the method in any one of claims 1 to 16. ​ ​ ​ ​
