Detailed Description
In order to more specifically describe the present invention, the following detailed description is provided for the technical solution of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings and the specific embodiments.
The software PNP function can acquire the client IP at the earlier stage of starting the client system and send the client IP to the server, the server sends an application resource mirror image and a configuration packet to the client, and the client diskless system software PNP drive is used for completing the installation of the application software; the application resources and the configuration package are placed in an installation directory in advance, or are automatically imported by a user or are automatically acquired from IDC, and meanwhile, the user can also perform personalized setting and adjustment on the application attributes at the server.
To implement the software PNP during diskless boot, the first step is to afforest the software resources from the installation package, and the afforestation needs to know the programs, the related work files, and the registry information released during the installation process.
Firstly, extracting application software resources, wherein the extraction implementation flow is as shown in fig. 1, taking snapshots before and after installing software by using system snapshot software, comparing the snapshots for 2 times, extracting programs, related work files and registry information released by the installation programs in the installation process, extracting the released programs and the related work files as application Resource packages, placing the application Resource packages in Resource folders, generating file links from the Resource folders to application default installation environments according to resources, recording the file links in Resource ecnf, namely software page install in Resource file configuration folders, wherein the corresponding modules are [ SW _ FileLinksWIN764], and writing the extracted registry information into [ Win7_64.reg ], so as to finish the Resource extraction of the application software which does not need input parameters in the installation process.
In addition, in the installation process of some application software, parameters similar to the IP of the server side need to be input, for such application software, a configuration file used for recording the input parameters by the application software needs to be found out from a release file, and after setting the specified parameters as variable parameters, such configuration file is placed under the ResourceCnf for receiving the parameter deployment of the application by the user, so as to afforest the normal operation of the application, as shown in fig. 2.
After the extraction of the application software resources is completed, the extracted application software resource files are formed into a resource package and distributed, as shown in fig. 3.
After the resource packet is successfully extracted, the resource packet can be made into a mirror image packet and uploaded to the IDC for distribution to the edge server. In the configuration package, softwarnpinstall. inf records all operations required to install an application, and this configuration file is for software PNP drivers, for example:
[IntcAzAudModel]
AddReg＝Win7_64.reg
AddLink＝SW_FileLinksWIN764
CopyFiles＝cp
and according to modules with different functions under the [ IntcAzAudModel ], executing operations under the corresponding modules, including writing a registry, adding symbolic links and copying files.
transform. py and transform. ini are used to replace variable parameters in the configuration file under ResourceCnf with user actual input parameters.
The specific process of the software PNP implementation scheme of the invention is as follows:
(1) the process of downloading application resources to the edge server is shown in fig. 4.
The edge server downloads the resource packages and the configuration packages of all the applications to be launched in operation to the hard disk, and the resource packages and the configuration packages are used for timely feedback when the client starts and requests the applications.
(2) When a user needs to use a designated application, the user can start the designated internet bar in a starting scheme, and if the started application needs to input individual parameters, the individual parameters can also be input together, wherein the parameter transmission flow is shown in fig. 5.
In the user environment, different areas, different machine rooms and different internet cafes have different requirements on applications, and even under the same internet cafe, the requirements on applications are different according to the difference of the internet cafe boss in the equipment area. Thus, the server will pass, translate and record the variable parameters of the actual user according to different internet cafes (gateways) and different start-up schemes (start-up scheme IDs). And meanwhile, recording starting scheme IDs corresponding to different client IPs so that when the client is started, the required application resources and application configuration are distributed according to the IP reported by the client.
(3) The actual workflow of the software PNP driver installation application is shown in fig. 6. When the client is started, the client reports the IP to the server, the server provides corresponding application resources and configuration according to the client IP, the client loads a software PNP drive, then the software PNP drive is read, and the software PNP analyzes and executes the operation in software PNP Installall. Writing the registry information under [ Win7_64.reg ] in inf into an operating system, wherein the registry information comprises registry starting items of files and records of some information parameters; executing file copy under [ cp ], mostly copying the application configuration file with updated user individual parameters to an application default installation directory for reading and calling an application program; and executing file link under SW _ FileLinksWIN764, and mostly linking the extracted application files to the application default installation directory to simulate the application default installation environment. Therefore, the software PNP completes the whole process of application installation and deployment, after the operating system starts to execute the registry, the application can be started according to the registry or the system starting item written by the software PNP, and the application program has the configuration file and the file environment of normal operation, so that the application program can be started and operated normally.
In the above process, because the starting modes of the applications are different, some applications need to be started by the automatically started service, some applications need to be started by a run key of a windows, and some applications need to be started by a windows starting item directory. After various modes are tried, the final selection software PNP writes the phase of the stuck boot2 into the registry in the system starting process, and in addition, the influence on the client starting speed is less when the phase of the stuck boot2 is compared with the phase of the stuck boot 1. Through the scheme, after the server side is greened through the application, versions of different applications are provided for the user, and the user can realize complex deployment of 'opening the super tube, inputting individual parameters and deploying various applications' instead of 'batch and one-button switching of different applications' using experience.
The embodiments described above are presented to enable a person having ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention. It will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications to the above-described embodiments may be made, and the generic principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments without the use of inventive faculty. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and those skilled in the art should make improvements and modifications to the present invention based on the disclosure of the present invention within the protection scope of the present invention.
