通过linux命令行修改服务器BIOS配置
Dell
Dell Poweredge可以通过一个名为syscfg工具来修改BIOS配置,并且可以批量修改,无需直接访问服务器。(How to change Dell’s BIOS settings from a Linux command-line)
安装软件包
# cd ; wget -q -O – http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/bootstrap.cgi | bash
# yum install srvadmin-hapi
# wget ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/sysman/dtk_2.5_80_Linux.iso
# mkdir dtk
# mount -o loop dtk_2.5_80_Linux.iso dtk/
# cd dtk/isolinux/
# cp  SA.2 ~/SA.2.gz
# cd; gunzip SA.2.gz
# mkdir stage2
# cd stage2
# cpio -i < ../SA.2
# cd lofs
# mkdir dell
# mount -o loop dell.cramfs dell/
# mkdir -p /usr/local/sbin ; cp dell/toolkit/bin/syscfg /usr/local/sbin/
# umount dell
# cd
# umount dtk使用syscfg
# /usr/local/sbin/syscfg –biosver
biosver=1.5.1
# /usr/local/sbin/syscfg –virtualization=enable
virtualization=enableHP
HP提供了全面的主机管理解决方案,结合Intel LANDESK Client Management,可以管理大量的服务器。
HP System Software Manager (SSM)是通过网络检查和更新BIOS,设备驱动以及管理agent版本的工具 - Read the Release Notes and download SSM
HP BIOS Configuration Utility (BCU)是免费的提供管理BIOS设置的工具 - Read the Release Notes and download BCU
Inventec (英业达)
Foxconn (富士康)/联想/浪潮(AMI)
联想和浪潮使用AMI的BIOS,可参考联想Configuring the HX Series appliance手册来修订BIOS
./SCELNX_64 /o /s ./nvram_script.txt然后将模版文件复制到需要修改BIOS配置的目标服务器上(要求模版服务器和被修改服务器完全一致的硬件配置),然后执行导入:
./SCELNX_64 /i /s nvram_script.txt这里有一个排查CPU核心丢失的案例,就是通过AMI BIOS设置来解决的。
联想提供了 Lenovo ToolsCenter Suite CLI来帮助管理firmware,硬件以及CMM,IMM和Flex-IOM的系统,支持多种操作系统:
Lenovo ToolsCenter Suite CLI is a command line based utility, which covers the server management scope includes firmware configuration, system inventory.
并且 Lenovo Diagnostic Solutions: Diagnose & Fix提供了服务器诊断和修复工具。
Sun
Sun服务器命令行工具和IPMI使用指南 有关 BIOS Configuration Tool 介绍了一个biosconfig命令
American Megatrends BIOS
AMI是主流的BIOS厂商,提供了BIOS/UEFI工具来设置相应配置(提供了各种操作系统版本),可参考 BIOS/UEFI Utilities for Aptio and AMIBIOS相关信息。
AMIBIOS Setup Utility System Parameters and Standard Settings手册介绍了AMI BIOS设置方法 - 本地文档
Aptio UEFI Firmware tool 提供了相关连接
不过,没有找到AMI网站直接提供的工具,通常采用的是各个服务器厂商的维护工具来实现AMI BIOS修改。例如,国内的联想、浪潮服务器都使用AMI的BIOS,工具应该是通用的。
启动时按
F2进入AMI BIOS设置浪潮Inspur服务器使用了AMI的BIOS,可以通过工具设置
Linux通用BIOS查看命令biosdecode
biosdecodebiosdecode是Linux平台提供的BIOS设置处理的命令行工具,可以打印其所致的所有结构化信息。
可以使用biosdecode输出如下硬件信息
=> IPMI Device
=> Type of memory and speed
=> Chassis Information
=> Temperature Probe
=> Cooling Device
=> Electrical Current Probe
=> Processor and Memory Information
=> Serial numbers
=> BIOS version
=> PCI / PCIe Slots and Speed
=> Much more可以使用biosdecode输出如下BIOS配置
=> SMBIOS (System Management BIOS)
=> DMI (Desktop Management Interface, a legacy version of SMBIOS)
=> SYSID
=> PNP (Plug and Play)
=> ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)
=> BIOS32 (BIOS32 Service Directory)
=> PIR (PCI IRQ Routing)
=> 32OS (BIOS32 Extension, Compaq-specific)
=> VPD (Vital Product Data, IBM-specific)
=> FJKEYINF (Application Panel, Fujitsu-specific)dmidecode 是读取biosdecode数据已可阅读格式输出,以下命令是输出BIOS keywords
dmidecode --type {KEYWORD / Number}需要处理以下字符对
- bios 
- system 
- baseboard 
- chassis 
- processor 
- memory 
- cache 
- connector 
- slot 
所有的DMI类型可以使用 dmidecode --type {number} 显示
#dmidecode --type
dmidecode: option `--type' requires an argument
Type number or keyword expected
Valid type keywords are:
  bios
  system
  baseboard
  chassis
  processor
  memory
  cache
  connector
  slot可用类型包括
