US 2015/0149754 A1 · SERVER AND INSPECTING METHOD THEREOF

Abstract

Disclosed herein are a server and an inspecting method thereof. The server comprises a baseboard management controller (BMC), a non-volatile memory coupled with the baseboard management controller, and a basic input/output system. After the server is powered on, the basic input/output system starts running, performs power-on self-test for the server to generate current hardware configuration data. The BMC then determines whether preset hardware configuration data, stored beforehand in the non-volatile memory, and the current one agree. If the preset and the current hardware configuration data have one or more mismatches, the BMC records the mismatch or mismatches in an event log.

A server inspecting method comprising:

starting up a server;
performing, by a basic input/output system (BIOS) of the server, a power-on self-test of the server to generate current hardware configuration data;
and
determining, by a baseboard management controller (BMC) of the server, whether preset hardware configuration data and the current hardware configuration data match, the BMC coupled with a non-volatile memory of the server and capable of causing the server to start up, the preset hardware configuration data stored beforehand in the non-volatile memory;
wherein when the current hardware configuration data and the preset hardware configuration data have one or more mismatches, the BMC records the mismatch or mismatches in an event log.
