SERVER AND IDENTIFIER SYNCHRONIZATION METHOD

摘要

A server and an identifier synchronization method are provided, and the server includes a network card, hardware peripherals and a basic input output system. The network card stores at least one identifier. The basic input output system starts operating to acquire the at least one identifier of the network card and write the at least one identifier into each hardware peripheral after the server is booted.

主权项

1. An identifier synchronization method, adapted to a server that comprises a network card and a plurality of hardware peripherals, and comprising:
booting the server; enabling a basic input output system (BIOS) in the server to operate and acquire at least one identifier of the network card; and writing the at least one identifier into the hardware peripherals by the BIOS; wherein, when the BIOS writes the at least one identifier into the hardware peripherals, the at least one identifier is written into the PCI configuration space of each of the hardware peripherals; after the server is shut down the at least one identifier in the PCI configuration space of each of the hardware peripherals is lost; and after the server is rebooted, the BIOS re-acquires the at least one identifier from the network card and writes the re-acquired at least one identifier into the PCI configuration space of each of the hardware peripherals.
