Problems solved by technology

At present, VMware's Link Clone is usually used to upgrade and update the virtual desktop cloud. This solution needs to upgrade and update the virtual images of each server node separately. In this way, for a large number of desktop cloud application scenarios, such as school classrooms, libraries, etc. , since the above update scheme can only update a single desktop cloud in the system one by one, the update workload will be very heavy, so there will be a problem of low update efficiency
In addition, in the above solution, each physical server node must store the corresponding virtual image, so the storage performance requirements for the physical server nodes are also very high

Embodiment Construction

[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] The core idea of ​​the present invention is: introduce preboot eXecution Environment (Preboot eXecution Environment, PXE, also known as pre-execution environment) technology, utilize diskless software to establish shared single disk image for the virtual machine in the system, and The first boot mode of the virtual machine is set to PXE network boot. In this way, through the management of a single disk image of a virtual machine, when upgrading the operating system and applications, only system patches and application updates need to be performed on this single disk image, and each virtual machine that shares the disk image only needs to Powering on or restarting the machine triggers the streaming technology to immediately update t...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for deploying virtual machines for hyper-converged systems. The method includes selecting a physical server node from systems and creating diskless servers on the physical server node; creating a disk mirroring template for operating systems in specified versions; creating storage configuration parameters on the diskless server for the disk mirroring template and storing the disk mirroring template in the diskless server according to the storage configuration parameters; setting first booting modes of a virtual machine as PXE (preboot execution environment) network booting when the virtual machine is newly established in the systems. The method has the advantages that the method is favorable for improving the updating efficiency of the hyper-converged systems, and the system maintenance cost can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to computer application technology, in particular to a virtual machine deployment method of a hyper-converged system. Background technique [0002] Hyper Converged Infrastructure (HCI) refers to hyper-converged infrastructure (referred to as hyper-converged architecture), or hyper-converged infrastructure, which refers to computing, network, storage and server virtualization in the same set of unit devices (such as x86 servers). The architecture of resources and technologies such as culture. [0003] The hyper-converged solution integrates server virtualization, network virtualization, storage virtualization, and desktop virtualization to create a fully virtualized platform from the server end to the client end. The coordinated data center cloud platform realizes on-demand resource allocation and flexible scheduling. The hyper-converged system forms server resources into a resource pool through a virtualized hyper-converged plat...
