The CMC (Chassis Management Controller) is responsible for monitoring and managing the entire Chassis. The BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) can implement functions such as related control and information supervision of a server. The CMC may manage and control BMCs in multiple chassis, and communicate with the BMCs via an IPMB (Intelligent Platform Management BUS) protocol via I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit, serial transmission BUS).

Detailed Description
In order that those skilled in the art will better understand the disclosure, the invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It is to be understood that the described embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, and not restrictive of the full scope of the invention. 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 invention.
The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," and the like in the description and claims of this application and in the above-described drawings are used for distinguishing between different objects and not for describing a particular order. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not limited to only those steps or elements but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed.
For the server, the chassis management controller and the baseboard management controller are connected only through I2C, because the chassis management controller needs to manage multiple baseboard management controllers at the same time, the chassis management controller can only actively send I2C message communication to the baseboard management controller, and the baseboard management controller as a receiver can only passively receive messages. Because the chassis management controller does not have an operating system, when the chassis management controller is not connected to an external network, the chassis management controller image cannot be refreshed in a conventional out-of-band manner, and the chassis management controller image cannot be refreshed in-band. Based on this, the present application may implement reverse upgrade of the chassis management controller through I2C communication between the baseboard management controller and the chassis management controller. Various non-limiting embodiments of the present application are described in detail below.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a firmware upgrading method according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the method is applied to a server including a chassis management controller and a plurality of baseboard management controllers, and the chassis management controller monitors and manages each baseboard management controller, where the following method is applied to a target baseboard management controller, that is, an execution subject of the following method is one of the baseboard management servers, and an embodiment of the present invention may include the following:
s101: when detecting the firmware to be updated of the chassis management controller, setting an upgrade operation identifier, so that the chassis management controller feeds back an upgrade operation execution instruction to the target substrate management controller after acquiring the upgrade operation identifier, and simultaneously issues notification information for entering an upgrade preparation state to other substrate management controllers.
In this embodiment, when the chassis management controller needs to update the firmware, a new firmware, that is, a firmware to be updated, is generated, and when the chassis management controller needs to update the firmware, since the present application needs to update the firmware of the chassis management controller reversely through the baseboard management controller, and the baseboard management controller can only receive information of the chassis management controller passively, in order to make the chassis management controller learn that the chassis management controller needs to update the firmware, one of the baseboard management controllers, that is, a target baseboard management controller, can set an upgrade operation identifier for identifying that the chassis management controller needs to execute the firmware update, and when the chassis management controller periodically or in real time queries each baseboard management controller, after finding that the upgrade operation identifier exists, the chassis management controller sends an upgrade operation execution instruction to the target baseboard management controller to notify the target baseboard management controller that the target baseboard management controller can execute the upgrade operation on the chassis management controller, in order to ensure normal data transmission between the chassis management controller and the target bmc, the chassis management controller needs to send information of entering an upgrade preparation state to each of the other bmcs to notify each of the other bmcs to stop any operation with the chassis management controller.
S102: and when an upgrading operation execution instruction is received, transmitting the firmware to be updated to the case management controller so that the case management controller executes firmware upgrading operation.
And after receiving the firmware to be updated, the chassis management controller starts a firmware updating tool to execute firmware updating operation based on the firmware to be updated. After the case management controller updates the firmware, the case management controller can also send a firmware upgrade completion instruction to the target baseboard management controller. And when receiving a firmware upgrading completion instruction sent by the chassis management controller, the target substrate management controller generates upgrading success prompt information. The differences between the present embodiment and the chassis management controller upgrading the baseboard management controller through I2C are: the chassis management controller upgrading substrate management controller can directly issue instructions and transmit files to the substrate management controller through I2C, the substrate management controller is only used as a passive party for receiving the instructions, and the logic is simple. If the baseboard management controller upgrades the chassis management controller, the chassis management controller is required to inquire whether the baseboard management controller has an instruction or not in a direct instruction mode, and the chassis management controller needs to inform the baseboard management controller of an execution result after acquiring the instruction. When only the external base plate management controller network is connected, the case management controller belongs to a state without external operation, and the case management controller can be upgraded by only connecting one network.
In the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present invention, in the process of querying each BMC, if a BMC with an upgrade operation identifier is found to exist, it indicates that the BMC needs to perform firmware upgrade, and the BMC feeds back an upgrade operation execution instruction to the BMC, so that the BMC transmits the firmware to be updated to the BMC, and the BMC stops all operations with other BMCs, and executes corresponding firmware update operations after receiving the firmware to be updated, thereby implementing firmware upgrade of the CMC without modifying server hardware.
In the foregoing embodiment, how to trigger execution of the file transfer operation of S102 is not limited, and two parallel alternative implementations are provided in this embodiment, which may include the following steps:
as an optional implementation manner, when the target baseboard management controller receives an instruction for executing the upgrade operation of the chassis management controller, the target baseboard management controller enters an upgrade preparation state; and when a file transmission instruction sent by the case management controller is received, the target substrate management controller transmits the firmware to be updated to the case management controller.
As another implementation manner parallel to the above embodiment, the target baseboard management controller enters an upgrade preparation state after receiving an upgrade operation execution instruction sent by the chassis management controller; when the chassis management controller stops communicating with each baseboard management controller, the target baseboard management controller transmits the firmware to be updated to the chassis management controller.
In addition, the present application also provides another firmware upgrading method, where this embodiment is also applied to a server including a chassis management controller and a plurality of baseboard management controllers, and the chassis management controller monitors and manages each baseboard management controller, please refer to fig. 2, and fig. 2 is a schematic flowchart of another firmware upgrading method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, and an embodiment of the present invention may be applied to a chassis management controller, that is, an execution subject of the following embodiment is a chassis management controller, and specifically may include the following contents:
s201: and when the target substrate management controller with the set upgrading operation identifier exists, feeding an upgrading operation execution instruction back to the target substrate management controller, and simultaneously sending upgrading preparation state notification information to other substrate management controllers.
S202: and when the firmware to be updated sent by the target substrate management controller is received, executing firmware upgrading operation according to the firmware to be updated.
Optionally, after S201, the method may further include: entering a state of waiting for receiving the file data, and issuing a file transmission instruction to the target substrate management controller.
Optionally, after S202, the method may further include: when the firmware upgrading operation is completed, issuing a restarting instruction; and when the restarting operation is completed, sending a firmware upgrading completion instruction to each baseboard management controller.
In order to make the technical solutions of the present application more apparent to those skilled in the art, the present application also provides an illustrative example, which may include:
setting and recording an upgrading operation mark by the BMC, and waiting for a CMC execution result by the BMC; the CMC acquires and records an upgrading operation mark of the BMC, executes upgrading preparation operation and sets the upgrading preparation operation to be in a state of being prepared for upgrading, the CMC informs the BMC that the upgrading operation mark is successfully executed, and the CMC informs other BMCs that the current CMC is in the state of being prepared for upgrading and does not allow other operations to be received; after the CMC notifies the BMC, the CMC waits for receiving the file data; after receiving the successful execution of the CMC operation mark, the BMC enters an upgrading preparation state and waits for sending file data; at the moment, no other communication exists between the BMC and the CMC, and file transmission is carried out; after the file transmission is finished, the CMC starts a mirror image self-refreshing flow and carries out mirror image upgrading; after the CMC is upgraded and restarted, all BMCs are informed of the completion of upgrading; and the BMC receives the upgrade completion message to prompt that the upgrade is successful.
The same methods or the same steps as those in the above embodiments may refer to the implementation manners described in the above embodiments, and thus, the details are not repeated here.
Therefore, the embodiment of the invention can realize firmware upgrade of the CMC by the BMC without modifying the hardware of the server.
It should be noted that, in the present application, there is no strict sequential execution order among the steps, and as long as a logical order is met, the steps may be executed simultaneously or according to a certain preset order, and fig. 1 to fig. 2 are only schematic manners, and do not represent only such an execution order.
