Invention: [Technical field of invention] A support far-machine_road card and its method, special money--the kind of feeding machine end loading virtual disk at boot time, and starting according to virtual disk The information is light to the end of the disk, in order to receive the boot image file required by the client boot program [previous technology] With the continuous transmission speed of the network (four), the network's materials are only required to == page data only . Some people have come up with the concept of a network of computers. The network computer does not set the data required for the storage client to run in the client. A service ^ and then grab the customer from the end of the feeding service - the general side tender, 纟 _ _ _ _ _ face execution environment execmi_vir〇nment, hereinafter referred to as coffee). In addition to taking the information from the feeding end to the domain client, the _:= line installs the client's system or application. A::r In order to achieve the above-mentioned remote county ship, _ flash memory _aShmemQiy^t „,,,. 罔 card on the guest, after, is based on the connection. Enable the client to be with the servo End = test 71 mountain map" is shown as a flow chart of the operation of the familiar connection. After the households are turned off, the auto-boot chip (Boot job) in the network card is self-tested before the control is granted in 200931910 (step S110). A request message is issued in the form of a broadcast if the server receives the client given by the client (step S120). Confirmation φ VIII, will reply - confirm the message boot image file. The default communication is divided into two parts: the default communication channel and the network protocol are lightly connected to the connection between the account line and the server line. The boot image file is a confirmation message sent by the client to the client to notify the server to start transmitting the client, and a response is sent (step S130). Start from the feeding service = the south of the boot image file (10)). The client receives the boot image = each completes the lie on the boot image building (step file is used to rely on her (4) start (step (10)) w will be based on the boot image, although it can be used to remote client access but TM There are still many inconveniences on the use of the following two: The L network card must support the coffee, otherwise the related functions cannot be started. 2. The handle of the TCP/IP layer, Β π + ^ Also - does not support the fiber protocol. 3. The user needs to define the network boot program (10) twork B_rap !>-, pulse) to modify the interrupt vector table. The gamma agreement is based on network equipment, making PXE unfavorable for use by other types of equipment. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The problem of the above is that the purpose of the present invention is to provide a ...-way card that supports the remote 200931910 machine, which is through the Internet, a plurality of boot images...3 services, and then The server receives the lunch and the client can be powered on. ...I the above purpose, the present invention is slightly larger ♦ __ There are: virtual escrow mode road edge remote start network card including Zhu control wheel set, network disk control module to provide, child clothes 1... Kushiro nuclear module. The virtual magnetic circuit storage device is made up of (4) fine magnetic disks, and the net is used by the receiving server to establish a network communication with the feeding end. The mobile shell I network communication module uses the other point of view of the present invention, the method, the network cuts the customer (four) \ kind of looking for the turn-on of the square feeding machine to receive the plurality of boot images - to the ·, Q excellent仟 Each household can be turned on. In order to achieve the above objectives, the present saki includes the following steps. The h 遂 4 见 , , , , , , , , 初始化 初始化 初始化 初始化 初始化 初始化 初始化 初始化 初始化 初始化 初始化 初始化 初始化 初始化 初始化 初始化 初始化 初始化 初始化 初始化 初始化 初始化 初始化 初始化 初始化 初始化 初始化 初始化T disk, first out (BaSlc Input 〇utput System, book virtual disk; turn _ towel s ° servo end H ^ shell 5 ^, through the network to connect to the number of pen start information to The client's network storage device and the booting information are used to boot the client according to the startup information. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the above method is recorded in the Hungarian Eighth Entry 4^ by the starting guest on the network card ==: When the client is powered on, the virtual disk is registered in the basic input rim system, so that the client uses the virtual disk to perform the door: and at the same time of booting, the network card is connected to the word server. Remote: "Copy the image file of the virtual disk to the virtual disk. In 200931910, each terminal loads the file of the virtual disk into the virtual disk at boot time. '攸. The server loaded the boot image for the lion system _ match. ^Discrete magnetic copper work does not need to be related The features and implementations of the invention are as follows. The best example of the invention is shown in detail. [Embodiment] 7#图图7F, the material of the book (4) is a schematic diagram of the money. _ _ card. When the client is powered on, the network card 21 of each terminal 200 provides a virtual disk, and the network card 210 is connected to the remote disk 3iq in the mine. This day, the café has included the following components: virtual disk control module, network storage device, network communication module 213 and device driver module 214. The virtual disk control module 211 is stored in In the starting memory of the network card 21〇, 〇n ROM). The virtual disk control module 2ιι is used to provide a virtual disk. The virtual V-disk control core group 211 is coupled to the remote disk in the feed port 3, and the boot image file in the remote disk 310 is copied to the virtual disk. The network storage device 212 is configured to receive the boot image file sent by the server 3. After the network storage device completes the loading of the remote disk, the virtual disk will be the basic input/output system (Β_ _ system, hereinafter referred to as BIOS) of the ridge terminal 200 to perform the action of the virtual disk of the main volume. The action of registering the client brain s is the same as that of other storage devices. By this means, the registration means that the virtual 200931910 disk is located in the client towel. When all the storage preparations are initialized, the brain s will start the operation according to the set disk. In the present invention, the action of the virtual disk to be booted by the virtual disk control module is set. The network communication module 213 is configured to provide a communication with the feeding end. In this real towel network communication protocol can be, but is not limited to, transmission control money (TransmissiQn CQntlOl p_eQl, TQp), domain channel protocol (Fibre Channel over ΙΡ 'FCIp), Internet small computer system interface Internet (Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) or Internet Fibre Channel Protocol (iFCP) D device driver module 214 is used to control a plurality of storage devices of the client 200, and the storage device is a register (register) ) or memory (mem〇Iy). In order to explain the operation flow between the components of the present invention more clearly, please refer to "Fig. 3", which is a description of the present invention. First, initialize the virtual disk (step-cut) in the beginning of the network card. The virtual disk is registered to the help s (step S320). Select the network protocol between the server and the server to communicate (= step S330). According to the link information in the virtual disk, the network is used to connect to the server (+ step S340). Loading the plurality of boot image files from the server to the client's network=, device (step S35〇h is used to boot the client Z according to the boot image file (step S360). Please also refer to “4th As shown in the figure, it is a schematic diagram of the connection between the virtual disk and the remote disk. The next boot process is the same as the feather program. So I will not repeat it. 10 200931910 He: Applicable The general network controller can also be applied to its Jd sub-: ☆. Shangyu cheap redundant disk array (Red_antAlTayof r/rrniDlsks, hereinafter referred to as ^ example, will be controlled by this (four) 5 'each end It is possible to carry out RAiD without physical disk. The PXE material is used in this issue.
