Method for allocating operating system through network guide

Abstract

The invention provides a method for deploying an operating system via a network guide. The method includes that a remote control module is adopted to remotely start a client computer by transmitting wake on Local Area Network (LAN) Magic Package or in an OOB management manner; the remote control module is used for concentratedly carrying out some necessary deployments to a multi-client terminal, and deploying starting / stopping of a software receiving terminal; a DHCP module is used for carrying out assignment of dynamic IP address to the client computer; and a micro OS mirror image operates on the client computer. The method is completely independent of a storage medium such as a local optical driver, a floppy drive, etc. and is suitable for various operating systems on an IA server. The method improves network transmission performance by using multi-cast technology, gets rid of limit of a file system by using the low-level implementation mechanism of primative data block, and can be widely applied in a large-scale computer system deploying field.

Description

1. Technical field [0001] The invention relates to computer network communication, in particular to a method for deploying an operating system guided by a network and implemented in a multicast manner. 2. Technical background [0002] In large-scale server / cluster environments such as large enterprises, banks, and hosting computer rooms, how to quickly and effectively deploy batches of operating systems has always been a problem that plagues system administrators. [0003] Conventional operating system installation methods rely on media such as local floppy drives and optical drives, and are obviously not suitable for large-scale and batch operations. [0004] The existing method of booting by PXE and using the automatic response file of the operating system to install the operating system is inefficient, and the support methods of different operating systems are inconsistent, and the configuration is cumbersome. [0005] The existing method of using backup / cloning software...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The existing method of using PXE booting and using the operating system automatic response file to install the operating system is inefficient, and the support methods of different operating systems are inconsistent, and the configuration is cumbersome

[0005] The existing method of using backup / cloning software for batch operating system recovery is more efficient, but it needs to manually start the client and run the corresponding client program to receive data, which is not convenient for administrators to operate

[0006] Because the above-mentioned existing methods of operating system deployment have certain defects, they cannot meet the needs of system administrators in terms of system maintenance. Therefore, a method of operating system deployment that is guided by the network and implemented in multicast mode is proposed. seems very necessary
