The invention discloses a method for reducing the starting time of a
server, and relates to the technical field of servers, and the method comprises the following specific steps: the BMC is powered on, the BMC is started at the moment, when the BMC starting is not the first-time starting, the
server enters a quick starting process, a
server system controls a Host to be powered on, then the server is started while the Host is powered on, and when the BMC starting is not the first-time starting, the server enters a quick starting process; the method comprises the following steps of: starting a BMC (
Baseboard Management Controller)
system at the same time, entering an IPMI (
Intelligent Platform Management Interface) service preparation process until the IPMI service preparation process prepares OK, judging whether the BMC is started for the first time or not through a
server system, and returning to control the Host to power on when judging that the BMC is not started for the first time. According to the method, the BMC is started for the first time, the server carries out the normal starting process, the whole normal starting process of the server is serial starting, so that the IPMI command is stored, when the BMC is not started for the first time, the server carries out the quick starting process, the server quick starting process is parallel starting, Host power-on is carried out in advance, and the starting time of the server is shortened.
