Optionally, managing main frame can store the second operating system in the case where TFTP services corresponding storage catalogue, in order to First host and the second host pass through TFTP service search the second operating system of acquisition in managing main frame.

Further, a kind of managing main frame presented below guides the specific method process of the first host-initiated.To manage master Machine is described for using iPXE mode, it is to be understood that through PXE Starting mode, and in such a way that iPXE starts Corresponding method flow is similar, is only illustrated by taking iPXE Starting mode as an example below, about the corresponding method of PXE Starting mode Process can be also referring to below to the explanation of iPXE.

According to iPXE agreement, the first host can first broadcast sending boot protocol BOOTP in the system shown in figure 1 and ask It asks, the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server application IP into network, i.e., to the managing main frame broadcast BOOTP request of deployment DHCP service, and according to The position of BOOTP protocol search guidance bootstrap file；Managing main frame to the first host send DHCP service distribute IP with And the placement position information of bootstrap file, bootstrap file are placed on the TFTP of managing main frame deployment in this application It services under corresponding catalogue.First host from TFTP service acquisition bootstrap file in a network；Then the first host Ipxe.linux and ipxe.cfg is downloaded from managing main frame, wherein ipxe.linux is can to run program, be can parse ipxe.cfg；After the completion of downloading, the first host can first start from ipxe.linux, and ipxe.linux then can be according to ipxe.cfg Recorded in configuration kernel and file system files name to download corresponding document, and be booted up from this document.This document is To have carried out cutting and improved second operating system in the application.

First host generates the after loading the second operating system, through the clone that provides in second operating system application First image file of one operating system.The effect of the first image file is that the second host is allowed to obtain the first mirror image text in the application After part, the first operating system directly is restored using the first image file, it is possible to reduce the installation process of operating system saves peace ETL estimated time of loading, especially in the case where the second host of high-volume needs to install the first operating system, then when can save more Between.

First image file is sent to managing main frame by the default network transmission protocol by the S203: the first host, so that Managing main frame stores the first image file and installs the first operating system according to the first image file for multiple second hosts.

Specifically, since the purpose of the application is to realize that multiple second hosts can efficiently install the first operation system in batches System, so also needing to store the first image file to managing main frame, in order to which other second hosts can be allowed to pass through P2P mode Download the first image file.Wherein, the effect for presetting the network transmission protocol is the first operating system by the first host in hard disk Middle valid data are stored by the default network transmission protocol to the hard disk of managing main frame.

In one possible implementation, when the default network transmission protocol is iSCSI protocol or Network File System When (network file system, NFS) agreement, the first host is sent out the first image file by the default network transmission protocol It send to managing main frame specifically: the first host utilizes clone's application from the hard of the first host by iSCSI protocol or NFS protocol Disk on the hard disk of the data clone of the first operating system to managing main frame, will generate the first operation system on the hard disk of managing main frame First image file of system.Since iSCSI and NFS are shared agreement, the first host sends the first mirror to managing main frame As the process of file is essentially shared procedure.For example, when the default network transmission protocol is iSCSI protocol, the first host fortune The second operating system of row starts the service of iSCSI originating end, logs on managing main frame, and establish iSCSI originating end and iSCSI mesh The connection at end is marked, then, reads valid data of first operating system on the first host hard drive by cloning application, and will have It imitates in data compression to the hard disk of the second host.

In one possible implementation, the default network transmission protocol includes secure file transportation protocol SFTP.Second Operating system includes P2P application and clone's application.First host is sent the first image file by the default network transmission protocol To managing main frame specifically: clone's application in first the second operating system of host computer generates the first mirror of the first operating system As file, and the first image file is copied to by SFTP the hard disk of managing main frame from the memory of the first host.Due to SFTP The unshared agreement for File Transfer Protocol, therefore in embodiments of the present invention, the first host needs in the second operating system The generation for first completing the first image file, then replicates again and is sent to managing main frame.Unlike iSCSI and NFS protocol, on It states and does not generate complete first image file in inventive embodiments on the first host.And in embodiments of the present invention, the second behaviour In the memory that system operates in the first host, the first image file that clone's application in the second operating system generates also is stored In the memory of the first host, therefore, the first image file is the hard disk that managing main frame is copied to from the memory of the first host.Letter For list, the first host is the operation clone application in the second operating system, and by the data compression of the first operating system and is deposited It stores up to the memory of the first host, generates the first image file, then the first image file is sent to by management master by Secure File Transfer Protocol Machine.

Optionally, the first host, can be by Starting mode more after the first image file is sent to managing main frame It is newly hard disk startup mode.Specifically, the first host is executing the above-mentioned behaviour that first image file is sent to managing main frame After work, its task in this batch installing operating system scheme is just completed, therefore can be by the Starting mode of network It is updated to conventional hard disk Starting mode in the prior art, in order to subsequent normal starting.

S204: managing main frame receives the first image file that the first host is sent by presetting the network transmission protocol.

Specifically, managing main frame is by the network transmission protocol appointed with the first host, such as iSCSI protocol, NFS protocol Or SFTP etc., carry out the reception and preservation of the first image file.Wherein, preservation, which refers to, stores to the hard disk of managing main frame.

It should be noted that the second operating system is the performing environment of entire deployment process, stores and operate in first In the memory of host.After its starting, iSCSI originating end can be run to find available iscsi target end, and realize that first is main Machine logs in managing main frame.If logging in success, the first host is scanned by hard disk, can be scanned hard in addition to local disk Disk, the i.e. hard disk of managing main frame.Due to iSCSI inherent characteristic, if directly used, iSCSI originating end and iSCSI may cause Target side cannot achieve data sharing.The reason is that, iSCSI originating end and iscsi target end may use different file systems System, so they may in different ways access to hard disk, the hard disk areas that causes iSCSI originating end to be written with The hard disk areas that iscsi target end itself accesses is inconsistent, i.e., shared failure.Therefore iSCSI need to be configured to shared or network Trunking mode, just can guarantee iSCSI originating end and iscsi target end it is specified be the same hard disk areas, it is shared to realize.

S205: the first image file is divided into multiple fragments according to Predistribution Algorithm by managing main frame, and generates peer-to-peer network P2P seed file.

Specifically, Predistribution Algorithm, which can be, is divided into more fragments for the first image file according to size, can also according to point First image file is divided into multiple fragments by the total number of piece, and the application is not especially limited this.

P2P seed file includes the address of managing main frame, the title of the first image file, fragment quantity and size.At this time Managing main frame is also responsible for recording the history letter of each second host downloading slicing as the central server in P2P transmission process Breath, the historical information include which the second host has been downloaded with just in downloading slicing, and historical information can use managing main frame Middle specified file or database purchase.The effect that the first image file is stored above managing main frame is to allow multiple to be installed Second host of one operating system can be downloaded by the managing main frame.If each second host by managing main frame come The first image file is downloaded, then is likely to the disk bottleneck of the bottleneck and managing main frame due to network bandwidth, multiple second Host can not be downloaded simultaneously, i.e., host needs in part wait in line downloading installation, eventually lead to All hosts and successfully install the The time of one operating system greatly increases.Therefore, P2P network transmission mode is used in the application, allows managing main frame and multiple the Between two hosts, the relationship of peer-to-peer network is formed mutually.For any one fragment of the first image file, as long as there is the second master Machine downloaded the fragment of the first image file, and other second hosts can be by downloading the fragment of first image file Second host obtains the fragment, avoids multiple second hosts while managing main frame downloading slicing being gone to lead to the bandwidth pressure of managing main frame Power and disk pressure increase, and promote speed of download.

Optionally, further include verification data in P2P seed file, the fragment downloaded for the second host verification it is complete Property, that is, verify fragment that the second host is downloaded whether include the first image file all fragments.

S206: managing main frame sends instruction information to multiple second hosts.

Specifically, the instruction information is used to indicate the multiple second host according to the P2P seed file at present The fragment of first image file is carried, and carries out the installation of first operating system according to first image file.Refer to Show and contains the storage of all fragments in the storage path and the first image file of P2P seed file in managing main frame in information Path, with indicate the second host according to P2P seed file storage path carry out P2P seed file downloading, and according to point Know the source address of the fragment of each first image file in the storage path of piece.

S207: the second host passes through the second os starting under target start mode, and receives managing main frame transmission Instruction information.

Specifically, the first host in the process and step S202 that the target start mode of the second host in the application starts The process that starts of target start mode it is identical, details are not described herein.

In one possible implementation, the second host obtains the second operating system from managing main frame, then uses mesh Mark Starting mode starts the second operating system in memory, and receives the instruction information of managing main frame transmission.

It, can be by after each second host receives instruction information it is worth noting that in system architecture shown in Fig. 1 Operating system is installed in operating process according to step S207 to step S209, and the process of multiple second host installation operating systems is simultaneously What row executed, so as to improve the efficiency for installing multiple second host operating systems in batches.

S208: the second host downloads the first mirror image according to P2P seed file by the default network transmission protocol in a manner of P2P All fragments of file.

Specifically, the second host have received managing main frame transmission file instruction information after, by with managing main frame The network transmission protocol appointed, such as iSCSI protocol, NFS protocol or SFTP, and according to P2P seed file in a manner of P2P Carry out the downloading of the fragment of the first image file.Wherein, P2P seed file includes the address of the managing main frame, described first Title, fragment quantity and the size of image file.Multiple second hosts can download the first mirror image text simultaneously in this application The fragment of part, and all fragments for the first image file finally completed according to downloading carry out the reduction of the first operating system.

In one possible implementation, the second host computer P2P is applied, and shares agreement by default network data, All fragments of the first image file are downloaded in a manner of P2P according to P2P seed file.Specifically, the second host can distinguish root P2P seed file is obtained according to the storage path of the P2P seed file in instruction information, further according to the management in P2P seed file Which the second host the address of host determines from the historical information for all second host downloading slicings that managing main frame is recorded On downloaded the fragment of the first image file, and initiate downloading request to it, and obtain the fragment of the first image file.Most Eventually, the second host downloads oneself currently also according to the title, fragment quantity and size of the first image file in P2P seed file The fragment that do not download, and find corresponding second host and be downloaded required fragment.It is understood that for same In the case that its downloading is completed in fragment, only the second host, it is likely to provide upload function to the fragment, it is main for other second Machine downloading.

It optionally, can also include verification data in P2P seed file, which obtains for the second host acknowledgement Fragment integrality.

It is worth noting that since managing main frame as the central server in P2P network is stored with the first image file All fragments, therefore the fragment of any one the first image file initially requires the second host and passes through default network transmission association View is downloaded from managing main frame, and after subsequent some fragment for thering is the second host to download the first image file, then Other second hosts can be just downloaded from corresponding host by P2P transmission mode.Wherein, the second host initially how By presetting fragment of the network transmission protocol from managing main frame the first image file of downloading, the first host is referred to by presetting The network transmission protocol transmits the process of the first image file to managing main frame, and details are not described herein.

S209: the second host restores the first operating system according to all fragments of the first image file.

Specifically, the second host is applied using clone from the second host after all fragments for obtaining the first image file Memory in all fragments of the first image file are restored on the hard disk of the second host.

Further, clone's application executes decompression behaviour to complete first image file stored in the second host memory Make, and the file after decompression is stored to the hard disk of the second host.So far, the second host completes going back for the second operating system It is former.

It, can be using the default network transmission protocol when the negligible amounts of the second host as a kind of possible embodiment First image file is copied directly to more by (such as the service of iSCSI service, SFTP or NFS service mode) from managing main frame A second host.

It should be noted that method and step performed between different executing subjects is directed in the embodiment of the present invention, in addition to There is a method and step of obvious causality or obvious precedence relationship, it is not absolute successive suitable between other method and steps Sequence, Part Methods step can also carry out simultaneously, and the application is not especially limited this.Description through the above, this Shen The method for the batch installing operating system that please be provide, allowed by way of P2P multiple second hosts in P2P network respectively from Managing main frame and other second hosts obtain the fragment of image file, solve in the prior art due to managing main frame with it is to be installed The bottle of the hard disk processing ability of network bandwidth bottleneck and managing main frame itself between multiple second hosts of operating system Neck, caused client cannot efficient batch installing operating system, and the problem for needing the installation effectiveness of waiting list low, Promote installation effectiveness.On the other hand, it is by first installing the first operation to be installed on first host in the application System regenerates corresponding first image file, other second hosts are by downloading the fragment of first image file and being gone back Operating system is originally installed, each second host can be saved, the time spent by the first operating system is gradually installed, and then subtracted The time of batch installing operating system is lacked, and quantity is more, has promoted installation effectiveness and be more obvious.

Optionally, when all the first image files of second host computer are reduced directly the first operating system, due to multiple Second host uses same first image file, therefore all second hosts are all with the configuration parameter of the first host It is consistent, for example, IP address, host name and configuration parameter etc. are consistent.It is therefore desirable to carry out difference for each second host Change file configuration, uses the first image file bring without differences problem due to unified to eliminate.Therefore, the application can be with It comprises the following methods:

S210: managing main frame determines the differentiation configuration file of multiple second hosts according to preset configuration table.

It specifically, include the network setup information of each second host, host in multiple second hosts in preset configuration table At least one of title and authorization sequence number, differentiation configuration file are used to indicate each second host according to the first mirror image File carry out the first operating system installation process in, in network setup information, Hostname and authorization sequence number at least One kind is modified.Wherein, if the IP address in the first image file is distributed using static allocation mode, then network at this time Setting information is then IP address, subnet mask and the gateway of corresponding distribution；If the IP address in the first image file is using dynamic The method of salary distribution distribution, then at this time network setup information be then DHCP service distributed automatically according to Predistribution Algorithm IP address, son Net mask and gateway.Hostname can be used for the second host and be easier to distinguish each other in a network.Authorization sequence number then can be with Authorization activation is carried out according to first operating system of the corresponding authorization sequence number to reduction for each second host.

Optionally, managing main frame determines that the time of the differentiation configuration file of multiple second hosts can be any time, As long as the application is not especially limited this before the differentiation configuration file that the second host obtains the second host.

Illustratively, preset configuration table can be arranged in maintenance personnel according to business demand, include each in the preset configuration table Title, IP address, authorization sequence number and the corresponding host identification of each second host of second host.Host identification can be only One one the second host of mark, managing main frame can determine every according to the host identification of the second host each in the preset configuration table The differentiation configuration file of a second host, and the differentiation configuration file is transferred to corresponding second host, in order to Two hosts change IP address, Hostname when restoring the first operating system using the first mirror image, according to differentiation configuration file Or authorization sequence number etc..

For example, the differentiation configuration file in the application is the file finished writing according to certain format, usually field+ The mode of value is presented.This document is usually by deployment task executor come according to set planning, (IP address of such as certain host must Must be XXX), information is filled into deployment task template, entire deployment task is cooperated to complete.If user will dispose 200 Host, after user it is expected this collection of host deployments, plan they host name can and they host identification (host it is unique hard Part identifier, such as the host electronic label media access control address (media access control, MAC) or IPv6 Location etc.) it binds one by one, and named according to h1, h2 ..., h200, IP is according to 192.138.100.1 to 192.138.100.200 To be arranged.Therefore the embodiment of the present invention can provide a template, the host identification and host name model for allowing user's filling this time to dispose It encloses, the information such as IP address range, and this document is placed on PXE/iPXE host.It is understood that if above-mentioned process by Manual configuration takes time and effort user one by one, can further save setup time by the above method, promotes batch installation effectiveness.

S211: the second host obtains the differentiation configuration file of the second host from managing main frame.

Specifically, the second host is after the step of having executed above-mentioned the first operating system of reduction, all second hosts it is hard Data on disk are consistent, i.e., are a machines for being cloned out.Their IP, host name, authorization sequence number etc. all one It causes.After such second host is restarted, the problem of IP conflicts will lead in same local area network.So needing by specified Configuration file, which obtains, customizes information, reconfigures corresponding file, such as change IP operation.

S212: according to differentiation configuration file to the network setup information of the second host, Hostname and authorization sequence number At least one of be modified.

Specifically, the second host from managing main frame according to differentiation configuration file corresponding with itself is obtained, according to fixed Inhibition and generation configuration, change the corresponding configuration file of hard disk, complete customize configuration information change, such as to network setup information, At least one of Hostname and authorization sequence number are modified.

Optionally, the second host can obtain differentiation to managing main frame before or after restoring the first operating system Configuration file, but be ensured that after having executed the first operating system of reduction, it is just main to second according to differentiation configuration file The relevant information of machine is modified.

For example, after the second host completes the reduction of the first image file, it is poor that the second host is obtained to managing main frame Alienation configuration file, managing main frame inform the path of the differentiation configuration file to the second host.Assuming that differentiation configuration file In differentiation information be host name HOSTNAME and IP address, then after the second host downloads to this document, need with correspond to Program goes to parse this file, and inquires the host identification of itself, for matching and selecting corresponding IP information.Next, Second host will change HOSTNAME and IP in current second host according to the information being resolved to, i.e. differentiation is processed Journey.

It is held it should be noted that both differentiation configuration file and parsing and processing difference information programme must cooperate Row, and the processing of various scenes is carried out, for example, if client does not specify specific HOSTNAME, it would be possible that be randomly assigned The treatment mechanism etc. of IP.It is uniformly processed automatically with ensuring that the mutual difference of the second host of batch can be carried out, guarantee portion Administration's work can smoothly complete.

Optionally, the second host is in the network setup information according to differentiation configuration file to the second host, Hostname After being modified at least one of authorization sequence number, Starting mode is updated to hard disk startup mode.Specifically, it is arranged The BIOS startup item of all the second hosts for having installed the first operating system, is changed to hard disk startup by PXE/iPXE.It The operating system of all second hosts will be configured and be completed from hard disk startup afterwards.Although the reason is that batch installing operating system It has been completed that, but the second host current system also runs the second operating system in memory, therefore needed to exit the second operation system System, and change BIOS option and operating system is guided to load from hard disk, the operating system portion of so far entire second host in batches Administration completes.

It should also be noted that, for method and step performed between different executing subjects in the application, it is bright in addition to having The method and step of aobvious causality or obvious precedence relationship, not absolute sequencing, portion between other method and steps Divide method and step that can also carry out simultaneously, the application is not especially limited this.
