The embodiment of the application provides a BIOS firmware refreshing test method, which realizes the automatic upgrading and downgrading of BIOS FW and simultaneously performs the test of BIOS reserved configuration, and provides a reliable scheme for the upgrading of the BIOS FW of a server and the reservation of the previous configuration, so that the problems that the previous configuration information is restored to default setting after the BIOS FW is upgraded every time, the resetting is needed, and a large amount of labor and time are wasted can be avoided.
The BIOS firmware refreshing test method provided by the embodiment of the application is applied to electronic equipment, the electronic equipment is in communication connection with a server to be tested, and the electronic equipment is in communication with the server to be tested through a network so as to test the server conveniently. The BIOS firmware refresh testing method provided in the embodiment of the present application will be described with reference to fig. 1.
Step S101: and modifying the BIOS setting options of the server and saving the modified settings.
In order to test whether the previous configuration information is restored to the default setting when the BIOS firmware is refreshed, in the embodiment of the application, before the firmware of the BIOS is refreshed, the BIOS setting option of the server to be tested is modified and the modified setting is stored. For example, modify Boot Mode under Boot option to UEFI and Legacy. The BIOS setting options of the server may be modified by remotely logging in a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) web Interface of the server to be tested, and the modified settings may be saved by remotely executing an IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) OEM (Enterprise administrator) command.
Step S102: and remotely controlling the server to restart.
The server needs to be restarted to enable the modified BIOS setting option to be effective, and the IPMI is executed on the electronic equipment to command the remote control server to restart so as to enable the modified BIOS setting option to be effective.
Step S103: and acquiring and storing the current configuration information of the BIOS in the server.
And after the server is restarted, acquiring and storing the current configuration information of the BIOS in the server. The current configuration information of the BIOS in the server may be obtained and saved by accessing the BMC web of the server on the electronic device, for example, it may be saved in file 1, and if there is a file with the same name, the original file is overwritten.
Under an alternative embodiment, the method further comprises: and acquiring and storing the current firmware version of the BIOS in the server. The current firmware version of the BIOS in the server may be obtained and saved by accessing the BMC web of the server on the electronic device, for example, it may be saved in file 2, and if there is a file with the same name, the original file is overwritten. In this embodiment, the current configuration information and the current firmware version of the BIOS in the server are obtained and stored at the same time.
Step S104: selecting a retention configuration option and performing firmware refresh on the BIOS.
After the current configuration information of the BIOS in the server is acquired and stored, the BMC web is accessed on the electronic equipment, the firmware update option is entered, the option for reserving the configuration is selected, then the FW file is uploaded, the BIOS FW refresh test is executed, and the BIOS firmware is refreshed.
After the option for reserving the configuration is selected, when the BIOS is refreshed, the configuration information configured before is reserved by default, and if the option is not selected, when the BIOS is refreshed, the configuration information configured before is reserved by default, so that the configuration information is restored to the default setting.
It should be noted that, the firmware version may be upgraded or downgraded by refreshing the firmware of the BIOS.
Step S105: and controlling the server to restart again, and acquiring the latest firmware version and the latest configuration information of the BIOS in the server.
And after the firmware is updated, restarting the control server again, and acquiring the latest firmware version and the latest configuration information of the BIOS in the server. The remote control server may be instructed to restart again by executing IPMI on the electronic device to validate the updated firmware. The latest firmware version and the latest configuration information of the BIOS in the server can be acquired and stored by accessing the BMC web of the server on the electronic device, for example, the latest firmware version can be stored in the file 3, and if a file with the same name exists, the original file is overwritten; the latest configuration information may be saved in file 4, and if a file of the same name exists, the original file may be overwritten.
Optionally, in order to improve the testing efficiency, before the control server restarts again, the method further includes: determining that the BIOS firmware refresh is successful. In this embodiment, the control server is restarted again only after determining that the BIOS firmware is successfully refreshed. If the BIOS firmware fails to be refreshed, the reserved configuration option is selected again, and the BIOS is refreshed until the BIOS firmware is successfully refreshed.
Wherein, in order to eliminate the influence of the power-off of the server on the retention of the configuration function when the BIOS FW is upgraded and downgraded. In one embodiment, the embodiment of the present application further includes a Power manager for supplying Power to the server, for example, a pdu (Power Distribution unit) Power controller, an apc (american Power Conversion corporation) Power controller, the server is electrically connected to the Power manager, and the electronic device is further communicatively connected to the Power manager, which is schematically shown in fig. 2. In this embodiment, the process of restarting the control server again may be: and controlling the power manager to power off the server, delaying the power on again, and controlling the server to start. For example, the power manager is remotely controlled by the electronic device to power down, and waits for a period of time to power up again, so that the server is powered down and is powered up again in a delayed manner, and then the IPMI is executed on the electronic device to command the remote control server to power up.
Step S106: and determining whether the test is passed or not based on the current configuration information, the latest firmware version and the latest configuration information to obtain a test result.
And determining whether the test is passed or not based on the saved current configuration information, the latest firmware version and the latest configuration information to obtain a test result. The implementation process can be as follows: judging whether the latest firmware version is consistent with the firmware version used in refreshing, and judging whether the current configuration information is consistent with the latest configuration information; and when the judgment results are all consistent, the characterization test is passed, and when one judgment result is inconsistent, the characterization test is not passed. When the judgment is performed, two judgments (whether the latest firmware version is consistent with the firmware version used in the refresh, and whether the current configuration information is consistent with the latest configuration information) may be performed simultaneously, or one judgment may be a judgment result depending on the previous judgment, that is, the next judgment is performed only when the result of the previous judgment is yes. For example, it is determined whether the latest firmware version is consistent with the firmware version used in the refresh, and when the latest firmware version is consistent with the firmware version used in the refresh, it is determined whether the current configuration information is consistent with the latest configuration information.
If the current configuration information and the current firmware version of the BIOS in the server are obtained and stored at the same time before the configuration option is selected to be reserved and the firmware of the BIOS is refreshed, the implementation process of step S106 may be: determining whether the test passes based on the current firmware version, the current configuration information, the latest firmware version, and the latest configuration information. The implementation process can be as follows: judging whether the current firmware version is consistent with the firmware version used before refreshing, judging whether the latest firmware version is consistent with the firmware version used during refreshing, and judging whether the current configuration information is consistent with the latest configuration information; and when the judgment results are consistent, the characterization test is passed.
Optionally, the method further includes: when the test result represents that the test passes, repeatedly executing the following steps: and modifying the BIOS setting options of the server and saving the modified settings until whether the test is passed or not is determined based on the current configuration information, the latest firmware version and the latest configuration information to obtain a test result. That is, the method is repeated, for example, the steps S101 to S106 are repeatedly performed, so as to perform multiple verifications, and if the verification results of the multiple verifications all represent that the test passes, the test is accurate and reliable.
