Embodiment Construction

[0072] Various embodiments of the present technology provide baremetal OS (operating system) image deployment (image deployment) and diskless boot (diskless boot) based on Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) in a server system systems and methods. In some embodiments, the method for iSCSI-based bare-metal OS image deployment and diskless boot in a server system includes setting the boot sequence of the BIOS of the server system to a controller of the server system (such as a Baseboard Management Controller, An iSCSI network interface controller (NIC) of the BMC), setting an iSCSI boot configuration to the controller, updating the boot sequence based on at least information from the controller, synchronizing the iSCSI boot configuration to the server system based on information from the controller The BIOS, and the LUN of the iSCSI storage server by a specific target IP and SAN enable the server system to boot.

Abstract

iSCSI based bare metal os image deployment and a diskless boot method are provided. Various examples of the present technology provide a method for iSCSI based bare metal OS image deployment and diskless boot in a server system. In some examples, methods for iSCSI based bare metal OS image deployment and diskless boot in a server system comprise setting a boot order of a BIOS of the server system to iSCSI NIC of a controller (e.g., BMC) of the server system, setting iSCSI boot configuration to the controller, updating the boot order based at least upon information from the controller, syncing the iSCSI boot configuration to the BIOS of the server system based upon the information from the controller, and causing the server system to be booted from a specific target IP and LUN of an iSCSI storage server of a SAN.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a server system in a communication network, and more particularly to bare metal OS image deployment and diskless boot in a server system. Background technique [0002] Today's server farms or data centers typically employ a large number of servers to handle the processing needs of various application services. It is important for administrators or users of the data center to configure or start servers remotely from the data center. In a conventional system, a Pre-boot Execution Environment (PXE) is used to remotely boot or deploy software to a server. This PXE code is typically transmitted by a read-only memory (ROM) chip or boot disk of the server so that the server can be configured and booted remotely. [0003] However, it remains a challenge to provide a faster, more cost-effective and more reliable method for remotely deploying software on server systems. Contents of the invention [0004] Systems and methods ...
