Detailed Description
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 only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without any creative effort belong to the protection scope of the present application.
The core of the application is to provide a method, a device, a server and a medium for upgrading an in-band system driver, which are used for realizing upgrading of the in-band system driver through an out-of-band network.
Server network management can be divided into two management modes, out-of-band management and in-band management. The management control information and the data information in the in-band management are transmitted through a unified physical channel, the management control information and the data information in the out-of-band management are transmitted through different physical channels, and the control information and the data information in the out-of-band management are completely independent and have complementary influence. A commonly used Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) network is an out-of-band network. In general, the in-band network and the in-band network are completely independent and cannot be intercommunicated. And the in-band system-driven upgrade and update can not be performed through the out-of-band network. Therefore, in the application, information acquisition of a multi-target server is completed through LiveCD image distribution, an integrated drive file is customized according to the acquired information, a drive upgrading script is customized and generated, a customized new LiveCD image is generated, then the new LiveCD image is distributed by using an out-of-band network, and in-band transfer and storage of the drive file and the drive script are completed in an Operating System (OS) of a LiveCD memory; and completing the customized updating process of the driver after the in-band OS is restarted. It should be noted that many Linux distribution versions have been designed as so-called "livecds", i.e. CDs that can be booted directly to available Linux systems, which in this application refers to a directly bootable Linux environment.
In order that those skilled in the art will better understand the disclosure, the following detailed description is given with reference to the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for upgrading an in-band system driver applied to a target server according to the present application, where as shown in fig. 1, the method includes:
s10: receiving an initial LiveCD image; wherein the initial LiveCD image is distributed by the server through the out-of-band network.
The server side can be understood as a main control side and can be equipment such as a server, the target server is equipment needing to be upgraded and driven, specific target servers are not limited, and the specific target servers are determined according to actual conditions. When the drive of the target server is upgraded through the server, the server distributes the initial LiveCD to the target server through the out-of-band network.
S11: and collecting in-band OS information through the initial LiveCD image and transmitting the in-band OS information back to the server.
In the steps, the target server receives the initial LiveCD image, and the in-band OS information of the target server is collected and transmitted back to the server after the initial LiveCD image is started. Specifically, target server-related information, OS information, Central Processing Unit (CPU) architecture information, drive version information, and the like are collected.
S12: acquiring a new LiveCD mirror image; the new LiveCD mirror image is generated by the server side according to the in-band OS information; the new LiveCD mirror image is mounted to the target server through the out-of-band network by the server side; the new LiveCD image at least comprises a drive version to be upgraded of the target server and a drive installation script.
After in-band OS information is collected through an initial LiveCD image and the collected in-band OS information is transmitted back to the server side, the server side customizes and matches a drive version needing to be upgraded of a target server according to the in-band OS information, customizes and generates a drive installation script, integrates a drive file and the drive script in a new LiveCD image, and presets an operation executed after the new LiveCD image is started. And after the new LiveCD mirror image is generated, the server side mounts the new LiveCD mirror image to the target server through the out-of-band network. In implementation, when the upgraded versions of the plurality of target server drivers are the same, the same new LiveCD image may be adopted, and the new LiveCD image may be mounted to the target servers in batch through the out-of-band network.
S13: and upgrading the in-band system driver according to the new LiveCD image.
After the new LiveCD mirror image is mounted to the target server, the in-band system drive can be upgraded through the new LiveCD mirror image.
The method for upgrading in-band system driver provided by the embodiment is applied to a target server, and comprises the following steps: receiving an initial LiveCD image; wherein, the initial LiveCD image is distributed by the server through the out-of-band network; acquiring in-band OS information through an initial LiveCD mirror image and transmitting the in-band OS information back to the server; acquiring a new LiveCD mirror image; wherein the new LiveCD image is generated according to the in-band OS information; the new LiveCD mirror image is mounted to the target server through the out-of-band network by the server side; the new LiveCD image at least comprises a drive version to be upgraded of the target server and a drive installation script; and upgrading the in-band system driver according to the new LiveCD image. In the method, because the new LiveCD image comprises the drive version to be upgraded and the drive installation script of the target server, the in-band system drive can be upgraded out of band according to the drive version and the drive installation script upgraded in the LiveCD image, the operation and maintenance efficiency of the server is greatly improved, and a large amount of labor maintenance cost is saved.
In implementation, when upgrading an in-band system driver by a new LiveCD image, a preferred embodiment is that upgrading the in-band system driver by the new LiveCD image includes:
receiving an instruction for characterizing a reboot;
booting and starting through a new LiveCD mirror image and mounting a target hard disk in an in-band OS;
transferring a drive version to be upgraded of a target server in the new LiveCD mirror image and a drive installation script to a target hard disk;
and upgrading the in-band system driver through the target hard disk.
The server sends a restart instruction, such as an ipmi instruction, so that the target server boots from the new LiveCD image. After the boot of the new LiveCD image is finished, in order to boot the boot by the hard disk, a driver and a driver script integrated in the new LiveCD image need to be transferred to a target server. Therefore, the target hard disk is mounted in the in-band OS, the drive version to be upgraded of the target server in the new LiveCD image and the drive installation script are transferred to the target hard disk, and the in-band system drive is upgraded through the target hard disk. When a target hard disk is mounted in an in-band OS, the position of the hard disk is first found and partitioned. The hard disk is generally under the/dev directory, and the hard disk can be manually partitioned through the command of fdisk/dev/nvme1n 1. After partitioning, since various operating systems must manage the disk in a certain way, and only formatting is needed to make the structure of the disk recognizable to the operating system, after partitioning, the write file system must be formatted first to be managed by the system. When the partition is mounted, the partition is not mounted under the root directory as much as possible, because the mounting operation can hide the files in the original directory. Therefore, the root directory and the original directory of the system are not required to be used as the mount point, which causes system abnormality and even crash, and the mount point is preferably a newly-built empty directory.
And after the drive version to be upgraded of the target server in the new LiveCD image and the drive installation script are transferred to the target hard disk, automatically restarting the target server, so that the target server is booted and started from the in-band OS, and executing the drive script placed in the target hard disk to complete drive updating.
In the method for upgrading the in-band system drive through the new LiveCD image provided by the embodiment, the drive is placed on the hard disk, so that the server can be started through the hard disk.
In order to improve the efficiency of upgrading the drive of the target server, in an implementation, in a case that there are a plurality of target servers, a preferred embodiment is that upgrading the in-band system drive according to the new LiveCD image includes:
judging whether the drive versions to be upgraded of the target servers are the same or not through the server side;
if yes, acquiring target servers with the same drive versions to be upgraded through the server side, generating uniform new LiveCD images for the target servers with the same drive versions to be upgraded, and mounting the new LiveCD images in batches;
and upgrading the corresponding in-band system driver according to the new LiveCD image.
When a plurality of servers need to upgrade the drive, if a corresponding new LiveCD image is generated for each server, it may take a long time to complete the upgrade drive of the target server. Therefore, when the drive version of the presence server upgrade is the same, a new LiveCD image can be directly adopted. If 100 servers needing to be upgraded and driven exist, if a new LiveCD mirror image is generated for each server, 100 new LiveCD mirror images need to be generated; however, if there are 50 drives that need to be upgraded to the same version in the 100 servers that need to be upgraded, at this time, a new LiveCD image may be generated and mounted on the 50 servers that need to be upgraded to the same version, so as to upgrade the drives of the 50 servers according to the new LiveCD image.
In the case that there are multiple target servers, a new LiveCD image is generated for the drive that needs to be upgraded to the same version, and the upgrade of multiple target server drives is completed through the new LiveCD image. Compared with a method for generating respective new LiveCD images for each target server and upgrading the drive of the target server through the respective new LiveCD images, the method provided by the embodiment can quickly complete drive update of the target server.
In implementation, in order to avoid long waiting time for a user and to avoid monitoring information of the in-band system driver in time, a preferred embodiment is to further include, after upgrading the in-band system driver according to a new LiveCD image:
and if the in-band system driver is successfully upgraded within the preset time from the start of upgrading the in-band system driver, returning the information of successful upgrading and the information of the upgraded in-band system driver to the BMC through the in-band ipmi instruction.
In practice, the situation that the in-band system driver is not upgraded successfully may occur, and in order to avoid long waiting time for the user, the preset time is set in this embodiment. The preset time is not limited and is determined according to the actual situation. For example, when the file to be upgraded is large, a long preset time can be set; when a file to be upgraded is small, a short preset time can be set. After the in-band system driver is successfully upgraded within the preset time, information of successful upgrade and the information of the upgraded in-band system driver are returned to the BMC through the in-band ipmi instruction. And the BMC can provide the updated information of the in-band system driver to the upper-layer operation and maintenance network management software.
In this embodiment, if the in-band system driver is successfully upgraded within a preset time after the in-band system driver is upgraded, the information that the upgrade is successful and the information of the upgraded in-band system driver are returned to the BMC through the in-band ipmi instruction, so that a user can timely know the upgrade condition of the in-band system driver and obtain the version information of the current in-band system driver.
In implementation, in order to enable a user to intuitively know the upgrade status of the in-band system driver, a preferred embodiment further includes, after upgrading the in-band system driver according to the new LiveCD image:
and outputting information for prompting the success of the upgrade.
The manner of presentation, the specific content of the presentation information, and the like are not limited, and are determined according to the actual situation. If the in-band system driver is upgraded successfully, the success of the upgrade can be displayed on the display, and the user determines that the in-band system driver is upgraded successfully according to the information on the display screen.
According to the method and the device, after the in-band system driver is upgraded according to the new LiveCD image, the information used for prompting the success of the upgrade is output, so that a user can intuitively know the success of the upgrade of the in-band system driver.
