Method for automatic heterogeneous platform file synchronization and puppet server

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a method for automatic heterogeneous platform file synchronization and a puppet server. The method comprises the following steps: the puppet server receives a file synchronization request from a puppet client, wherein the file synchronization request at least contains the operating system and the fully qualified domain name fqdn of the puppet client; the puppet server carries out node matching according to the fqdn in the file synchronization request; the puppet server executes a matched node program, and matches the operating system of the puppet client in the node program; and the puppet server determines the file synchronization position according to the matched operating system, generates a file synchronization response and sends the file synchronization response to the puppet client so that the puppet client can carry out file synchronization according to the file synchronization response. By adopting the method and the puppet server disclosed by the embodiment of the invention, efficient automatic heterogeneous platform file synchronization can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of file synchronization, in particular to a heterogeneous platform file automatic synchronization method and a puppet server. Background technique [0002] For the server in the data center or various computer rooms, the problem of file synchronization with the client is often involved. At present, there are mainly two solutions to solve the problem of file synchronization: [0003] One solution is to use Shell script + Expect script to realize the automatic distribution and management of files. The implementation process mainly includes: the server obtains the administrator account and password of each client operating system that needs to be managed, and saves them in a file middle; then use the Expect script to automatically scp (Secure Copy) or rsync (remote Synchronization) to replace manual scp or rsync to achieve file synchronization. [0004] Another solution is to use advanced scripting languages ​...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] The shortcomings of the above two solutions are: you must know the administrator account and password of each client, once the client changes the password, it will become invalid

In addition, the first solution cannot achieve cross-platform synchronization, for example, windows and linux cannot be synchronized, and multi-threading technology cannot be used to achieve efficient automatic file synchronization; for the second solution, if some programming compatible with multiple operating systems is used language, it is possible to achieve cross-platform synchronization, such as Python for AIX, but although Python for AIX supports it, it is only compatible with outdated versions, and the implementation is too complicated (multi-threaded concurrency and synchronization efficiency must be considered) and it is not easy to monitor in real time In addition, the implementation of multi-threading technology in the second solution increases the complexity of maintenance and management, and each maintenance personnel must be very familiar with the Perl language, including the use of SSH and other related modules
