Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
Furthermore, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. In the description of the following examples, "plurality" means two or more unless specifically limited otherwise.
In the prior art, some BMCs may have two partitions for dual-mirror backup, and when the BMC performs firmware upgrade, the two partitions generally perform the same firmware upgrade operation at the same time, so that the firmware upgrade efficiency is low, and the upgrade time is often too long, which affects the work efficiency of the BMC.
In order to solve the above problems, in the BMC firmware upgrading method and apparatus, the electronic device, and the storage medium provided in the embodiments of the present application, a firmware image file to be upgraded is obtained; downloading a firmware image file to be upgraded to a standby partition, and performing corresponding firmware upgrade based on the firmware image file to be upgraded under the standby partition to obtain a new version standby partition after the firmware is upgraded; detecting firmware content difference information between the new version standby partition and a service partition which is not subjected to firmware upgrading; and updating the firmware content of the service partition according to the firmware content difference information. The firmware of the service partition is updated according to the difference information of the firmware content between the new version standby partition after the firmware is updated and the service partition without the firmware, so that the firmware updating process of the service partition is simplified, and the firmware updating efficiency of the BMC is improved.
The following several specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and details of the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
First, a structure of a BMC firmware upgrade system based on the present application will be described:
the BMC firmware upgrading method and device, the electronic device and the storage medium are suitable for upgrading firmware of BMC in a server. As shown in fig. 1, a schematic structural diagram of a BMC firmware upgrade system according to an embodiment of the present application is mainly included, where the BMC mainly includes a BMC and a BMC firmware upgrade device, where the BMC service is processed based on a service partition, and a firmware content of the standby partition is the same as that of the service partition, and is used to process the BMC service instead of the service partition when the service partition fails. Specifically, a firmware image file to be upgraded may be acquired by using a BMC firmware upgrading device, and the firmware of the BMC may be upgraded based on the firmware image file to be upgraded, where the BMC firmware upgrading device may be deployed outside the BMC or in the BMC.
The embodiment of the application provides a BMC firmware upgrading method, which is used for upgrading firmware of BMC in a server and is applied to BMC, wherein the BMC comprises a service partition and a standby partition, namely, a flash of the BMC is divided into the service partition and the standby partition. The execution subject of the embodiment of the application is an electronic device, such as a server, a desktop computer, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, and other electronic devices that can be used for upgrading the firmware of the BMC in the server.
As shown in fig. 2, a schematic flow diagram of a BMC firmware upgrading method provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown, where the method includes:
Specifically, the firmware image file to be upgraded may be extracted from the database of the current server.
It should be noted that, because the BMC currently to be firmware upgraded includes the service partition and the standby partition, in order to avoid that the abnormal firmware upgrade affects the service processing capability of the BMC, the embodiment of the present application first performs firmware upgrade on the standby partition of the BMC.
Specifically, after the firmware image file to be upgraded is downloaded to the standby partition, the BMC is switched to the standby partition environment, and the new firmware version is started, that is, the corresponding firmware upgrade is performed based on the firmware image file to be upgraded. At this time, the standby partition of the BMC is already upgraded to the new-version standby partition, the firmware of the service partition of the BMC is still the old version, and the service partition can normally process the BMC service based on the old version firmware, which shows that the BMC firmware upgrading method provided by the embodiment of the present application has a small influence on the service processing of the BMC.
The firmware content difference information may include information such as a firmware difference content name.
It should be noted that the firmware content mainly includes a kernel, file system content, and an application program, and specifically, the difference information of the firmware content between the new standby partition and the service partition may be detected according to an MD5 value of the firmware content, where the MD5 value of the firmware content is a unique identifier of the firmware content.
Specifically, after the firmware of the standby partition is upgraded, the current service partition directory may be mounted to the standby partition, so that the BMC may read the firmware content of the service partition under the new version of the standby partition. After the firmware contents of the new version standby partition and the service partition are read, the firmware content difference information between the new version standby partition and the service partition without firmware upgrading can be detected by traversing all the firmware contents of the new version standby partition and the service partition.
And step 204, updating the firmware content of the service partition according to the firmware content difference information.
Specifically, the firmware content to be updated or the firmware content to be newly added of the service partition may be determined according to the difference information of the firmware content between the service partition and the service partition, and then the firmware content to be updated is updated or the firmware content to be newly added is newly added.
Further, after the service partition finishes updating or newly adding the firmware content, the firmware content difference information between the service partition and the service partition is detected again, and if the firmware difference content still exists, the firmware content is continuously updated or newly added to the service partition until the firmware difference content does not exist between the service partition and the service partition.
Specifically, in one embodiment, the corresponding firmware difference content may be copied from the new version standby partition to the service partition according to the firmware content difference information; and correspondingly replacing the firmware content of the service partition based on the firmware difference content obtained by the service partition.
Specifically, the firmware content of the service partition may be updated once every time the firmware content difference information is determined to cyclically copy the firmware difference content to the service partition.
On the basis of the above embodiment, when the upgrade of the BMC firmware is abnormal, the currently upgraded firmware version is incompatible with the current BMC, or the new firmware version fails, the firmware of the BMC is abnormal, and the old version service cannot meet the requirement of the current BMC.
To solve the above problem, as an implementable manner, on the basis of the above embodiment, in an embodiment, before detecting the firmware content difference information between the new version standby partition and the service partition without firmware upgrade, the method further includes:
step 301, detecting the health state of the BMC which is switched to the new version standby partition currently;
step 302, when the health status detection result of the BMC is normal, executing a step of detecting firmware content difference information between the new version standby partition and the service partition without firmware upgrade.
Specifically, before a firmware upgrade is performed on a service partition, BMC health status detection may be performed for a new version of a standby partition that has now completed the firmware upgrade. And if the health state detection result is normal, continuing to execute the subsequent flow so as to perform corresponding firmware upgrading operation on the service partition. On the contrary, if the health status detection result is abnormal, it may be determined that the current new version of firmware is abnormal or is not suitable for the BMC, and at this time, the subsequent firmware upgrade process is terminated, that is, the service partition is still the old version of firmware, and the service work of the BMC is not affected.
Similarly, in an embodiment, it may be determined whether the version number of the new version standby partition is greater than the version number of the service partition without firmware upgrade; and if so, executing the step of detecting the firmware content difference information between the new version standby partition and the service partition without firmware upgrading.
Specifically, if the version number of the new version spare partition is smaller than the version number of the service partition without firmware upgrade, it is proved that the firmware version of the current new version spare partition is substantially older than the firmware version of the current service partition, and at this time, it is not necessary to update the service partition into the old version firmware. If the version number of the new backup partition is equal to the version number of the service partition without firmware upgrade, it may be determined that the firmware version of the new backup partition is the same as the firmware version of the current server. And if the version number of the new backup partition is greater than the version number of the service partition which is not upgraded, determining that the firmware version of the new backup partition is newer than the backup version of the current service partition, and executing a subsequent firmware upgrading process aiming at the service partition.
Conversely, in an embodiment, when the health status detection result of the BMC is abnormal, or the version number of the new-version standby partition is not greater than the version number of the service partition without firmware upgrade, the current BMC firmware upgrade process is ended.
For example, when the health status detection result of the BMC is abnormal or the version number of the new backup partition is not less than the version number of the service partition that is not subject to firmware upgrade, the current BMC firmware upgrade process is ended, and meanwhile, the current service partition may be regarded as the new backup partition, and the current new backup partition may be regarded as the service partition, and with reference to the above embodiment, a subsequent service partition firmware upgrade process is executed to correct the firmware content of the backup partition that is subject to error upgrade (the current new backup partition).
Correspondingly, when the health state detection result of the BMC is normal, but the version number of the new-version standby partition is equal to the version number of the service partition which is not subjected to firmware upgrade, the current BMC firmware upgrade process can be ended without performing other operations.
On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, since the health status of the BMC relates to various indicators, in order to improve the BMC health status detection efficiency, as an implementable manner, on the basis of the foregoing embodiment, in an embodiment, the detecting the health status of the BMC currently switched to the new-version standby partition includes:
step 3011, determining whether the average CPU occupancy rate of the BMC in a preset detection period exceeds a preset value; or judging whether the BMC is abnormally restarted in a preset detection period; or judging whether the thread of the BMC can be started normally;
and 3012, determining that the health state of the BMC is normal when the average CPU occupancy rate of the BMC in the preset detection period does not exceed a preset value, the BMC is not abnormally restarted in the preset detection period, and the thread of the BMC can be normally started.
The detection period may be specifically set according to an actual situation, for example, 5 minutes, and the determination of the average CPU occupancy may refer to the prior art, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited.
Similarly, in an embodiment, whether the number of the current configuration files of the BMC reaches a preset standard may also be determined; or judging whether the service required by the BMC can normally run; and when the number of the current configuration files of the BMC reaches a preset standard and the service required by the BMC can normally run, determining the health state of the BMC to be normal.
It should be noted that the BMC includes a configuration file system, where a large number of configuration files are stored in the configuration file system to support the BMC function, and if the number of the configuration files in the configuration file system of the current BMC does not reach a preset standard, it may be determined that the current BMC function is not sufficiently supported, and it may also be determined that the health status detection result of the BMC is abnormal.
The services required by the BMC include log service, NTB service, timing service and the like so as to maintain the normal operation of the BMC. If the services cannot normally operate, the BMC cannot normally operate, that is, the health status detection result of the BMC can be determined to be abnormal.
Exemplarily, as shown in fig. 3, an overall flowchart of the BMC firmware upgrading method provided in the embodiment of the present application is schematically shown. As shown in fig. 3, the execution subject of the method is BMC, the BMC initiates a firmware upgrade process, and downloads a firmware image file to be upgraded to a standby partition, that is, upgrades a standby partition image, after the firmware upgrade of the standby partition is completed, the BMC restarts, then detects a self health status, if the health status detection result is normal, further detects a version number of a current standby partition (a new standby partition), then judges whether the version numbers of the new standby partition and the current service partition are the same, if the version numbers are different, mounts a directory of the current service partition to the new standby partition, then traverses all contents under the two partitions, including contents of a kernel and a file system, and records the difference contents, specifically can record an MD5 value of the difference contents of the firmware, update or newly add the firmware contents to the current service partition, and then circularly detect the difference contents, and if the firmware difference content still exists, continuously updating or newly adding the firmware content of the service partition until the firmware difference content does not exist.
According to the BMC firmware upgrading method provided by the embodiment of the application, the firmware image file to be upgraded is obtained; downloading a firmware image file to be upgraded to a standby partition, and performing corresponding firmware upgrade based on the firmware image file to be upgraded under the standby partition to obtain a new version standby partition after the firmware is upgraded; detecting firmware content difference information between the new version standby partition and a service partition which is not subjected to firmware upgrading; and updating the firmware content of the service partition according to the firmware content difference information. The firmware updating method comprises the steps of firstly updating the firmware of the standby partition, then updating the firmware content of the service partition according to the difference information of the firmware content between the new version standby partition after the firmware is updated and the service partition without the firmware updating, simplifying the firmware updating process of the service partition, improving the firmware updating efficiency of the BMC, effectively improving the firmware updating speed, and simultaneously ensuring the consistency and the integrity of the contents of the double partitions.
