Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the following embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1, the present invention proposes a method for installing an operating system, which is characterized by comprising:
s1, acquiring configuration information of a server to be installed, and formulating a configuration strategy according to the configuration information;
s2, formulating a virtual mirror structure body based on the configuration strategy and a target operating system;
and S3, installing an operating system for the server to be installed through the virtual mirror image structural body.
In the embodiment of the present invention, in step S1, the server to be installed refers to a server host, i.e. a physical machine, to which an operating system needs to be installed, and the configuration information refers to configuration information related to normal operation of the server, such as a CPU, a memory, a hard disk structure, and the like of the server. The configuration information of the server to be installed can be obtained through various ways, for example, the hardware configuration information such as the specific model, CPU, memory, hard disk or RAID card (Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks, independent disk array) of the server to be installed is obtained from a corresponding management system; the configuration strategy is formulated according to the configuration information, namely, the installation mode or the configuration strategy when the corresponding operating system is installed is determined through the collected model information of the CPU, the memory, the hard disk or the hardware such as the RAID card, the network card and the like. The configuration policy refers to an installation step capable of normally completing the installation of the target operating system on the server to be installed or a scheme capable of installing the corresponding operating system on the server to be installed, and refers to an execution process of an overall installation bootstrap program for installing the target operating system. Different configuration strategies can be provided for different servers to be installed and different target operating systems.
Specifically, the operating system is a management system for managing each hardware on the computer and providing hardware services for the corresponding application program, and installing the operating system to a server or a computer device is essentially installing the management system to the server or the computer device. Therefore, it is necessary to acquire the CPU, hard disk, RAID card, network card, motherboard information, etc. of the server to be installed, and further analyze whether the target operating system can directly support direct running on the server to be installed, that is, manage the hardware of the server to be installed. For example, if the server to be installed is a server of an ARM platform, when the Linux operating system is installed, compiling the Linux system kernel according to the model of the ARMCPU is needed, otherwise, the Linux kernel cannot run; for example, the Windows7 system does not carry the driver of the Intel 7 or more generation of the borui motherboard, which results in the system being unable to be installed during the installation process.
Therefore, in some embodiments of the present invention, it is required to obtain the configuration information of the hard disk of the server to be installed, and formulate a corresponding configuration policy according to the hardware configuration information. And setting a corresponding installation scheme of the target operating system according to the hardware configuration of the server to be installed, wherein the installation scheme comprises an execution process of an installation bootstrap program and a drive of corresponding hardware required by the installation bootstrap program.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the server to be installed may also be a Virtual machine provided by a virtualization platform, such as a Virtual machine created by a tool such as VMware Workstation, virtual Box, virtual PC, etc. In contrast to physical machines, some hardware of the virtual machine server is provided by virtual machine software, so for a virtualized platform, only corresponding virtual machine configuration information needs to be obtained from the corresponding virtual machine software system.
In step S2, the virtual mirror structure is a structure for guiding the installation of a server and a corresponding target operating system for one type of hardware configuration. In practice, the installation of the operating system on the computer may be performed by a system image, and the system image usually adopts an iso file storage format (optical disc image file format), and when the system is used for installing the operating system, the data on the optical disc is read by the optical disc drive and loaded to the computer to implement the installation of the corresponding operating system. The virtual mirror image structure body provided by the invention is not a system mirror image with several GB sizes, namely the virtual mirror image of the invention is not a mirror image file with the format of iso, but is a data structure body based on hardware configuration information of a server to be installed and a target operating system, and the content comprises three types: operating system file information (version information of the target operating system, operating system file address), installation bootstrap information (installation bootstrap during system installation), driver information (driver information based on the server hardware configuration information to be installed and corresponding hardware required during installation determined by the target operating system).
In this embodiment, it is determined whether a corresponding driver needs to be loaded when the target operating system is installed on the server to be installed according to the configuration policy in step S1, if a driver is needed, the corresponding driver information is added to the driver information portion in the virtual image structure, if some installation options need to be set during the installation of the operating system, the configuration parameters of the corresponding setting program are added to the installation bootstrap information portion, and the target operating system information is added to the operating system file information portion of the virtual image structure.
Further, in some embodiments of the present invention, a file address of a driver loaded when a target operating system is installed and a corresponding MD5 value are added to a drive information portion of the virtual mirror structure; adding the file addresses of the corresponding installation bootstrap files and configuration files and the corresponding MD5 values to the corresponding installation bootstrap information parts of the virtual mirror image structure body; the operating system file address of the target operating system and the corresponding MD5 value are added to the operating system file information portion of the virtual mirror structure.
In step S3, the content of the corresponding portion in the virtual image structure is transmitted to the server to be installed and the installation bootstrap program is executed to install the operating system file in the virtual image structure. And sending the corresponding installation bootstrap program file, the configuration file, the driver file and the operating system file in the virtual mirror image structure body to a server to be installed according to the iso file format, and loading the installation bootstrap program file to execute the installation of the target operating system.
In some embodiments of the present invention, obtaining configuration information of a server to be installed includes:
and acquiring configuration information of the server to be installed through the memory operating system.
In this embodiment, the configuration information of the server to be installed is acquired by using a memory operating system. For example, the information is obtained in a manner of LiveCD, specifically, the LiveCD including a query server hardware configuration program is sent to a server to be installed through an out-of-band BMC (Baseboard Management controller. Baseboard management controller), and after the LiveCD mirror image is loaded into a memory, the query server hardware configuration program is operated to obtain information such as a CPU model, a memory, a hard disk or RAID card model, a network card model, a mounted PCIE device and the like of the server to be installed, and a startup mode (UEFI/MBR). And feeding back the acquired hardware configuration information through the BMC. Further, after receiving the hardware configuration information of the server to be installed fed back by the BMC, a configuration strategy can be formulated according to the configuration information.
In some embodiments of the present invention, obtaining configuration information of a server to be installed, and formulating a configuration policy according to the configuration information includes:
acquiring a storage structure of a server to be installed, and judging whether the storage structure supports drive-free installation of a target operating system;
and in response to the storage structure not supporting drive-free installation of the target operating system, configuring the storage structure according to the installation requirement of the target operating system, and adding the drive information of the storage structure to the configuration policy.
In this embodiment, the storage structure of the server to be installed needs to be determined, where the storage structure refers to a connection mode of storage devices (hard disks) on the server to be installed, and may be approximately divided into two modes, one mode is a mode of constructing a RAID with a plurality of hard disks through a RAID card, and the other mode is a mode of directly connecting the hard disks to a server motherboard. The first mode requires the support of the installation bootstrap program to the RIAD card, that is, if the target operating system is not supported, the corresponding disk cannot be selected when entering the step corresponding to the installation bootstrap program, and therefore cannot be installed. It is therefore necessary to acquire the storage structure of the installation server and determine whether the installation bootstrap program can install the operating system without driving the use of the storage device on the server to be installed. If the storage structure on the server is not supported by the installation bootstrap, the corresponding driver information needs to be added to the configuration policy, and further the driver information is added to the virtual mirror structure when the virtual mirror structure is generated according to the configuration policy.
In addition, the storage structure not supported by the installation bootstrap program is mainly that the RAID card used is not supported by the installation bootstrap program, and because the RIAD card has no configuration when the server is not installing the system, it is necessary to designate the RAID mode of the server to be installed and allocate the corresponding disk space for storing data and/or installing the target operating system as needed.
In some embodiments of the invention, formulating a virtual image structure based on the configuration policy and the target operating system comprises:
and formulating installation bootstrap information of the target operating system based on the configuration strategy and the target operating system, and adding the installation bootstrap information into a virtual mirror structure body.
In this embodiment, if the configuration policy formulated according to the hardware configuration situation of the server to be installed contains the driver related information of the corresponding hardware, it is explained that the installation bootstrap program of the target operating system does not support the related hardware of the server to be installed, and it is necessary to add the driver of the related hardware to the installation bootstrap program.
Specifically, taking the example of the Windows operating system, the Windows operating system needs to use a boot. Vim file in a Windows image when installed, where the boot. Vim file is essentially an image file of a memory operating system provided by microsoft, and about 200MB of the file contains the files required when installed in Windows. Therefore, in general, if a certain hardware configuration on a server to be installed is not supported by the microsoft installation bootstrap, it is necessary to add a driver of the hardware to the installation bootstrap, that is, a boot.vim file, and then regenerate the boot.vim file containing the driver.
In some embodiments of the present invention, when the installation bootstrap information of the target operating system is formulated based on the configuration policy and the target operating system, the original boot. Vim is decompressed, then the driving file is stored under the decompressed directory for storing the custom program, and then the decompressed boot folder containing the driving file is repackaged into the boot. Vim file. The file address and related information of the regenerated boot. Vim (the drive information contained in the boot. Vim file, version information of the operating system that can be used for booting the installation, and the MD5 value of the repackaged file, etc.) are further added to the virtual image structure.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the drive is no longer directly added to the boot. Vim, but rather is chunked according to the contents of the boot. Vim file. The boot. Vim files are distinguished when being read in binary, namely, the boot. Vim files are distinguished to be mirror image file areas of Windows installation bootstrap program (memory operating system) and the boot. Vim files are distinguished to be data areas which can be used for storing the driver program by user definition. The data address range of the area for installing the bootstrap program and the area capable of being customized by a user to store the drive is further added into the virtual mirror structure body.
Specifically, if the original size of the boot.vim file is 200MB and the driver required by the server to be installed is 30MB, if the driver is directly written to the boot.vim in an additional manner when the driver is added to the boot.vim, the boot.vim and the corresponding driver information and addresses are saved in the virtual image structure in order from front to back, which means that the installation bootstrap and the driver are saved in the boot.vim image data in a continuous manner. If the driver is started to be stored in the data range of 190MB, and the other data of the boot.vim is the last 10MB of data, the address range of the embedded data of the driver needs to be added to the virtual mirror structure, which can be understood as 0-190MB being the first part of the original data of the boot.vim, then the driver of 30MB, and the last 10MB being the other part of the original data of the boot.vim. The above is merely an example for ease of understanding, and the detailed configuration rules may be referred to the format reference document Windows Image File Format provided by microsoft with respect to boot.
Preferably, in some embodiments of the present invention, the installation bootstrap is not considered in the form of a boot. Vim package, but rather is decompressed into a plurality of files or file directories (according to the format specification of Windows Image File Format), and the addresses of the individual files (all files under one or more directories are treated as a whole) and the corresponding verification information, i.e. MD5 values, are added to the corresponding virtual mirror structure. When a corresponding driver is required to be added, the file address of the driver and the MD5 are directly added to the corresponding position of the virtual mirror structure body according to the decompressed file relationship. That is, the entire installer portion appears in the entire virtual image structure in the decompressed directory structure that encapsulates the corresponding boot. Vim after driving in the above embodiment, that is, the boot. Vim (referring to the entire portion of the installation bootstrap) is not encapsulated into a file according to a different driver, but rather, a structure (a portion of the virtual image structure) related to the installation bootstrap is "encapsulated" in the virtual image structure. When the hardware configuration of the server to be installed is different or the operating system to be installed is different, only the address and MD5 value of the corresponding driver in the virtual mirror structure body or the operating system mirror address and MD5 value are updated. The customization of the installation bootstrap program is carried out in a mode that a plurality of boot.vim files are not required to be packaged or generated according to different hardware conditions, and the time and the storage space are wasted.
In some embodiments of the invention, formulating a virtual image structure based on the configuration policy and the target operating system comprises:
and creating a response file template according to the target operating system, generating corresponding response file information based on the configuration strategy and the response file template, and adding the response file information into the virtual mirror structure body.
In this embodiment, the answer file is a configuration file for guiding the installation of the operating system by the installation bootstrap program, the answer file template is a universal template according to the installation modes of different operating systems, and different types of operating systems have different answer file templates, for example, the Windows operating system and the Linux system have different installation templates due to different installation modes of the bootstrap program, that is, different installation bootstrap programs correspond to different answer file templates.
Further, after the operating system to be installed of the server to be installed is determined, processing items which are required to be additionally added by the installation guide program are configured into response file templates according to the installation sequence, the configured response file templates are used as response files of the target operating system to be installed of the server to be installed, and the content of the response files is read in a character string mode and added into the virtual mirror image structure body. When the installation bootstrap program installs the target operating system, the corresponding executable program is loaded or corresponding operation is executed through the configuration step on the response file.
In some embodiments of the present invention, taking a Windows system as an example, if the RAID card driver needs to be loaded when the operating system is installed on the server to be installed at this time, the information of the installed RAID card driver file needs to be added to autoprotten. In some cases, if the installation bootstrap program requires chipset driver support when installing the target operating system, it is also necessary to write the chipset driver support to Autounatted. When a driver installation of a plurality of hardware devices is involved, the driver installation order needs to be added to Autounatted. Finally, the Autounatted. Xml is read and loaded into the virtual mirror structure.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the creation of the response file is also completed in a non-file form, that is, the installation of the boot program parameter item in the virtual image structure body, where the installation of the boot program parameter item is divided into two parts, and the first part is a driving option when the installation of the boot program to install the target operating system, that is, what information about the driver program needs to be installed after the installation of the boot program (memory operating system) is started, and an operation option when the target operating system can be installed after the installation of the driver program, that is, a configuration parameter item such as an installed operating system version, an installed disk position of the target operating system, whether to format a disk, and the like.
In addition, the second portion includes a driver or some software configuration item to be loaded by the operating system when the target operating system is loaded from the disk after the installation of the installation bootstrap (i.e., after the operating system in the image is copied to the disk and the boot is configured). For example, the option of installing the driver to all hardware devices of the server (it should be noted that, at this time, the driver installation is different from the driver installation of the previous installation bootstrap program, the installation bootstrap program is a simplified memory operating system, some drivers are needed when the target operating system is installed, and these drivers are loaded into the memory, and there is no disk, so that the driver installed after power failure disappears), and after the target operating system is started from the disk, the corresponding driver is automatically installed to perfect the running environment of the target operating system.
In this embodiment, the parameter options of the two parts may be configured in the virtual mirror structure body according to needs, and when the response file needs to be generated, the parameter in the parameter item of the installation guide program in the virtual mirror structure body is added to the large response file template according to the response file template to generate the corresponding response file.
The parameter items of the installation guide program in the virtual mirror image structure body can be directly imported from some configuration files through program modification when needed, so that the batch importing of staff is facilitated.
In some embodiments of the present invention, installing an operating system for the server to be installed through the virtual mirror structure includes:
and generating a target operating system image file according to the virtual image structure body, sending the target operating system image file to installation equipment, and installing the target operating system image file on the server to be installed through the installation equipment.
In this embodiment, if it is selected to install in the form of a system image file, the target operating system image file in iso format may be generated from information in the virtual image structure. The virtual mirror structure contains the requirements for installing the target operating system: installation bootstrap (memory operation repair), the relevant drivers required by the installation bootstrap, the target operating system image file, and the response file. And obtaining a corresponding file according to the file address in the information in the virtual mirror image structure body, and generating an ios mirror image file which is adapted to the hardware configuration of the server to be installed according to the requirement of the ISO mirror image format.
The iso file is used as a device of a computer system installation structure, for example, if an optical disc is used as a medium, the system image file is burnt into the optical disc, and an optical drive is required to be used as an installation device to install a target operating system. In addition, if the device provided by the virtual drive is installed in a mode of virtualizing the U disk into the virtual drive, the generated iso image file is only required to be copied into the U disk.
Preferably, for the server domain, the BMC may be used to implement a virtual drive to the server to be installed to install the iso image of the target operating system.
In some embodiments of the present invention, installing an operating system for the server to be installed through the virtual mirror structure includes:
acquiring a corresponding target operating system installation file in the virtual mirror image structure body, and sending the target operating system installation file to an installation device;
providing a virtual drive to the server to be installed through the installation device,
and loading the target operating system installation file to the server to be installed through the virtual CD-ROM so as to install the target operating system.
In this embodiment, when the operating system is installed for the server to be installed through the virtual mirror structure, the data in the virtual mirror structure may be transmitted to the device according to the iso format specification based on the virtual mirror structure according to the virtual mirror structure.
It should be noted that if the serial port line of the PC (computer device executing the program of the present invention) is connected to the server to be installed and the virtual optical drive is provided by the PC, the PC obtains the installation bootstrap file, the driving file, the system image file and the response file according to the corresponding address in the virtual image structure, and provides data to the virtual optical drive according to the iso format specification, and installs the target operating system.
In some embodiments of the present invention, if the installation device is a BMC, and the device is a BMC that accesses the server to be installed through a PC through a network, and the BMC provides a virtual drive to install the target operating system in an out-of-band installation manner, after the PC obtains the files in the virtual image structure, the PC sends a data stream to the BMC according to the iso file format specification, and after the BMC receives the data, the BMC sends the data to the virtual drive provided by the BMC to the server to be installed in a receiving order, so as to simulate the normal drive to read the iso image file to install the target operating system. Without generating a corresponding image file in iso format.
In some embodiments of the present invention, installing an operating system for the server to be installed through the virtual mirror structure includes:
the virtual mirror image structure body is sent to installation equipment, and a corresponding target operating system installation file in the virtual mirror image structure body is obtained through the installation equipment;
providing a virtual drive to the server to be installed through the installation device,
and loading the target operating system installation file to the server to be installed through the virtual CD-ROM so as to install the target operating system.
Preferably, in this embodiment, when the data center installs the corresponding operating system for the server cluster, the BMC may be preferentially selected as the installation device to install the target operating system. The virtual mirror image structure body can be sent to a corresponding client program on the BMC for realizing, the client program analyzes the file address of an installation guide program (memory operation repair) in the virtual mirror image structure body, the address of a related drive needed by the installation guide program and the image file address of a target operating system, downloads a corresponding file according to the file address, checks the corresponding file according to the corresponding MD5 value in the virtual mirror image structure body after the file is downloaded to the corresponding file, and provides the file to a virtual CD-ROM established on a server in a binary mode according to the iso format specification at the BMC end after the check is passed, and the installation guide program is operated through the virtual CD-ROM.
