Abstract
A control method implemented using a server and a server control device. When a server starts abnormally due to an exception of a master central processing unit (CPU), a platform controller hub (PCH) connected to the master CPU, or a Flash that is connected to the PCH connected to the master CPU, the master CPU is reconfigured. It is implemented that, when a startup exception occurs on a server that supports hard partitioning, it can be still ensured that the server normally starts and runs, thereby improving reliability and stability of the server. Therefore, Reliability, Availability and Serviceability (RAS) of the entire server is improved. In addition, a problem that a system fails to run due to an exception of a Flash is solved, and an original dual Basic Input/Output Systems (BIOS) design manner may no longer be used, thereby reducing Flash chip costs of the server.
