It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present application described here can be implemented in an order different from those illustrated or described here.

[0027] According to one aspect of the embodiments of the present application, an installation method of a server operating system is provided. The installation method of the server operating system is widely applied to the scenario of automated installation of the server operating system. Optionally, in this embodiment, the above-mentioned installation method of the server operating system can be applied to, for example, Figure 1 the hardware environment composed of the server to be installed 102 and the server management system 104 as shown. For example, the above-mentioned server management system can be directly installed into the server to be installed. As Figure 1As shown, the server management system 104 is connected to the server to be installed 102 via a network, and can be used to provide services (such as application services, etc.) for the server or the client corresponding to the server. A database can be set up on the server or independently of the server to provide data storage services for the server management system 104. Cloud computing and / or edge computing services can be configured on the server or independently of the server to provide data operation services for the server management system 104.

[0028] The above network can include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: wired network, wireless network. The above wired network can include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: wide area network, metropolitan area network, local area network. The above wireless network can include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: WIFI (Wireless Fidelity), Bluetooth.

[0029] In this embodiment, a method for installing a server operating system is provided, which is applied to the above server management system. Figure 2 It is a flowchart (one) of the method for installing a server operating system according to an embodiment of the present application. The process includes the following steps:

[0030] Step S202: Select an operating system installation package corresponding to the central processing unit architecture type of the server to be installed from a preset operating system installation package, and install the operating system installation package in the server to be installed. The central processing unit architecture type is detected by the central processing unit architecture detection module of the server management system. The operating system installation package includes at least the metadata required for installing the operating system.

[0031] It should be noted that the above preset operating system installation package refers to the installation package in the operating system installation package library. Operating system installation packages of different CPU architectures are centrally stored in the operating system installation package library.

[0032] The operating system installation package library can be organized in a hierarchical directory structure. For example, it can be classified and stored according to CPU architecture (X86, ARM), operating system distribution (CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, etc.), and operating system version. Each operating system installation package in the operating system installation package library contains a complete installation image (ISO or other format), necessary installation configuration files (such as Kickstart, Preseed, etc.), and description files (such as YAML or JSON format, describing the CPU architecture applicable to the installation package), operating system version, default configuration, and other metadata information required for installing the operating system.

[0033] Moreover, the operating system installation package library also needs to be maintained and updated regularly to ensure the timeliness and security of the installation packages. This update can be completed by means such as manual upload and automatic synchronization of the official image source.

[0034] Step S204: Obtain the configuration file parsed from the configuration instruction for the target object, and generate an installation script using the configuration parameters in the configuration file. The configuration instruction is received through the central management interface of the server management system.

[0035] Step S206: Execute the installation task of the installation script to configure the operating system installed on the server to be installed.

[0036] Exemplarily, as Figure 5 shown, in the management system of the server, there are a central processing unit architecture detection module 52, an operating system installation module 54, a script management module 56, and a central management interface 58. The central processing unit architecture detection module can detect the CPU architecture type of the server (corresponding to the above central processing unit architecture type). The operating system installation module selects a suitable operating system installation image from a predefined operating system installation package library according to the CPU architecture type of the server detected by the central processing unit architecture detection module, and automatically executes the operating system installation process. Then, the script management module determines the specific requirements of the user according to the instruction from the central management interface, generates and executes a customized automated installation script to complete the configuration processes such as software installation, service configuration, network setting, and security reinforcement after the operating system is installed.

[0037] Through the above steps, select the operating system installation package corresponding to the central processing unit architecture type of the server to be installed from the preset operating system installation packages, install the operating system installation package in the server to be installed, where the central processing unit architecture type is detected by the central processing unit architecture detection module of the server management system, and the operating system installation package includes at least the metadata required for installing the operating system; obtain the configuration file parsed from the configuration instruction for the target object, and generate an installation script using the configuration parameters in the configuration file. The configuration instruction is received through the central management interface of the server management system; execute the installation task of the installation script to configure the operating system installed on the server to be installed. By adopting the above technical solution, by automatically detecting the central processing unit architecture type of the server and automatically selecting a suitable operating system for installation according to the central processing unit architecture type, the probability of installation failure caused by manual selection errors is effectively reduced. At the same time, by generating and executing the installation script through the configuration instruction, the automated configuration of the server operating system is realized, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of server management. Generally speaking, this solution solves the technical problem of low installation efficiency of the server operating system when facing servers of different CPU architecture types, can significantly improve the installation efficiency and configuration efficiency of the server operating system, reduce the operation and maintenance cost, and enhance the installation flexibility of the server operating system.

[0038] In an exemplary embodiment, before selecting an operating system installation package corresponding to the central processing unit (CPU) architecture type of the server to be installed from a preset operating system installation package, further, the interface information of the out-of-band management interface of the server to be installed can be parsed by the CPU architecture detection module to obtain the CPU architecture type of the server to be installed; or, the request message for the server to be installed to perform network booting can be parsed by the CPU architecture detection module to obtain an architecture type field and a physical address, and the CPU architecture type of the server to be installed can be determined based on the architecture type field and the physical address. In this embodiment, the CPU architecture type of the server is automatically detected in multiple ways, ensuring the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the detection.

[0039] It should be noted that the CPU architecture detection module can detect CPU architecture types such as X86 and ARM.

[0040] The process of parsing the interface information of the out-of-band management interface of the server to be installed as described above can be understood as reading the CPU architecture type based on the hardware information of the out-of-band management interface (such as BMC / IPMI). Specifically: connect to the out-of-band management interface of the server through protocols such as SSH (Secure Shell) and IPMItool (Intelligent Platform Management Interface Tool), execute hardware information query commands (such as dmidecode, lscpu, etc.), parse the returned results, and obtain detailed information such as the manufacturer, model, and architecture type of the CPU.

[0041] The process of parsing the request message for the server to be installed to perform network booting by the CPU architecture detection module as described above can be understood as the parsing process of the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Request Message) message based on the network Preboot Execution Environment (PXE). The PXE booting process is a network booting method for downloading and executing a startup image or software from a remote server through the network, and is used for remote management and automated deployment of the server. DHCP is a network protocol for automatically allocating IP addresses and other network parameters, and the DHCP message is the initial message sent by the client to the DHCP server.

[0042] During the PXE boot process of the server, the archType (i.e., ArchitectureType, architecture type) and the MAC address field in the DHCP request packet can be detected. The archType field is the above-mentioned architecture type field, which can indicate the architecture type that the client requests to boot. Combining the MAC address (corresponding to the physical address) indicated by the MAC address field can uniquely identify the server.

[0043] The above method utilizes the central processing unit architecture detection module to be able to handle various complex network environments and server configurations, quickly identify the server architecture, and does not require the server to pre-install an operating system. In scenarios such as automated batch deployment in a bare-metal environment, it can provide the accurate server architecture type, facilitating subsequent operating system selection and installation.

[0044] In an exemplary embodiment, the server management system further includes an operating system installation module. For the implementation process of selecting an operating system installation package corresponding to the central processing unit architecture type of the server to be installed from a preset operating system installation package, it may include: querying, through the operating system installation module, the system versions of different operating system installation packages in the preset operating system installation package, and selecting an operating system installation package whose system version conforms to the central processing unit architecture type from the different operating system installation packages; and / or querying, through the operating system installation module, the installation priorities of different operating system installation packages in the preset operating system installation package, and selecting an operating system installation package with the highest installation priority from the different operating system installation packages, where the installation priority is determined based on the release version of the operating system. In this embodiment, through the querying and selection functions of the operating system installation module, an operating system that conforms to the central processing unit architecture type of the server can be installed. For example, the operating system installation module queries the preset operating system installation package library and finds that there are multiple Linux distributions applicable to the x86_64 architecture type. By comparing the system versions and installation priorities of these distributions, the latest version and the Ubuntu Server with the highest installation priority are selected for installation.

[0045] As Figure 4 shown, the operating system installation module includes an operating system selection engine (which can be abbreviated as the selection engine). In this embodiment, specifically, the operating system selection engine queries the description files of the installation packages in the operating system installation package library according to the detection results of the CPU architecture detection module, and then automatically selects an operating system installation package whose system version conforms to the central processing unit architecture type according to a preset selection strategy. The system version conforming to the central processing unit architecture type can be exactly conforming (for example, the CPU architecture and the operating system version are exactly the same) or approximately conforming (for example, selecting the closest operating system version). In addition, the priority of predefined user preferences (for example, the operating system release version specified by the user for priority installation has a higher priority) can also be considered.

[0046] In an exemplary embodiment, the implementation methods of installing the operating system installation package in the server to be installed include at least one of the following: installing the operating system installation package in the server to be installed by means of diskless installation when network-booting the server to be installed; installing the operating system installation package in the server to be installed using the configuration file of the server to be installed; installing the operating system installation package in the server to be installed using the configuration management tool of the server to be installed. By providing multiple operating system installation methods in this embodiment, the installation requirements in different scenarios are met. As Figure 4 shown, for example, the installation engine sends the diskless installation Linux operating system installation package to the server to be installed through network boot (such as PXE), and the server to be installed installs the operating system based on the received installation package; or, the server management system reads the configuration file (such as kickstart / Preseed) of the server to be installed and automatically executes the operating system installation according to the parameters in the configuration file; or, the server management system uses the configuration management tool (such as Ansible / SaltStack) of the server to be installed and executes the operating system installation through remote management.

[0047] In an exemplary embodiment, the server management system further includes a script management module. The specific process of generating an installation script using the configuration parameters in the configuration file is described through the following steps: parsing the configuration file through the script management module to obtain the configuration requirement type of the server to be installed; selecting an initial script template corresponding to the configuration requirement type from the script template library of the script management module; replacing the initial parameters of the initial script template with the configuration parameters to obtain an intermediate script template; modifying the template parameters of the intermediate script template according to the custom parameters of the configuration instruction to generate the installation script. Through the script generation function of the script management module in this embodiment, the automatic configuration of the server operating system is realized, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of server management. For example, the script management module parses the configuration file and finds that the configuration requirement type of the server to be installed is "network configuration", selects the initial script template corresponding to the "network configuration" requirement from the script template library, replaces the initial parameters (such as default IP address, subnet mask, etc.) in the template with the configuration parameters (such as actual IP address, subnet mask, etc.) to obtain an intermediate script template, and then modifies the intermediate script template according to the custom parameters (such as DNS server address, gateway address, etc.) of the configuration instruction to generate the final installation script.

[0048] As Figure 4As shown in the figure, the automated installation script management module (corresponding to the script management module) includes: a script template library. In this embodiment, specifically, the script template library is used to store and manage predefined initial script templates for automated installation. Each initial script template is classified and organized according to different application scenarios and configuration tasks, and adopts parametric design, allowing users to flexibly define specific parameters and configuration items through configuration files.

[0049] For example: The basic configuration template is used to configure basic system settings such as hostname, network, time zone, user accounts, etc. The software installation template is used to batch install common software (such as databases, web servers, monitoring agents, etc.). The service configuration template is used to configure parameters and startup items of specific services (such as SSH, NTP, DNS, etc.). The security enhancement template is used to execute security policies, such as firewall configuration, SELinux settings, etc.

[0050] In addition, the script template library also has version management and update functions, which facilitate users to maintain and expand script templates.

[0051] In one embodiment, as Figure 4 shown in the figure, the automated installation script management module also includes a script generator. In this embodiment, specifically, the script generator can select a suitable script template from the script template library according to the specific requirements of the user's server (determined by the configuration parameters in the configuration file), and automatically generate a specific automated installation script according to the configuration parameter values in the configuration file.

[0052] Among them, the configuration file can describe the specific requirements of the server in a structured data format (such as YAML, JSON). The description content can include: a list of software to be installed, a list of services to be configured and their parameters, network configuration information (IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS), and security policy configuration (firewall rules, SELinux policies).

[0053] It can be understood that the script generator can parse the configuration file, use the obtained configuration parameters to replace the parameters of the initial script template, and thus generate different installation scripts according to different configuration files. If the configuration instruction does not contain custom parameters, the intermediate script template obtained by replacing the parameters of the initial script template with the configuration parameters is the installation script to be installed. Of course, if the configuration instruction contains custom parameters, the script generator needs to modify the template parameters of the intermediate script template according to the custom parameters of the configuration instruction, and then generate the installation script.

[0054] In an exemplary embodiment, technical solutions for performing installation tasks of the installation script to configure the operating system installed on the server to be installed include at least one of the following: establishing a remote communication channel between the script management module and the server to be installed based on a remote connection protocol, sending the installation script and the configuration file of the installation script to the installation path of the server to be installed through the remote communication channel, sending an execution command to the server to be installed through the script management module, so that the server to be installed configures the operating system installed on the server to be installed based on the execution command, and the execution command is used to perform the installation task of the installation script; in the case of receiving the prompt information generated after the server to be installed completes the installation of the operating system, performing the installation task of the installation script in the server to be installed to configure the operating system installed on the server to be installed. Through the remote execution function of the script management module in this embodiment, remote automatic configuration of the server operating system is realized, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of server management.

[0055] In this embodiment, in essence, the script executor directly executes the script on the server after the operating system installation is completed. This requires SSH login or manual execution on the local console. For example, the script management module establishes a remote communication channel with the server to be installed based on the SSH protocol (corresponding to the above remote connection protocol), sends the installation script and the configuration file to the specified installation path of the server to be installed, and then sends an execution command. After receiving the execution command, the server to be installed automatically executes the installation task in the installation script to complete the configuration of the operating system; or, after the server to be installed completes the installation of the operating system, it generates prompt information (such as completion status, installation log, etc.). After receiving the prompt information, the script management module automatically executes the installation script to complete the configuration of the operating system.

[0056] In one embodiment, the process of remotely executing the installation script based on the SSH protocol may include: the script executor connects to the target server through the SSH protocol. After the SSH connection is established, the script executor can transfer files such as the automated installation script and the configuration file to the specified path of the target server through the SFTP or SCP protocol, for example, in the / tmp or / home directory. Then, execute commands through SSH, such as "chmod +x scriptname.sh", to set the execution permission of the script. After the permission setting is completed, remotely execute the script through SSH, for example, by executing the command "bash scriptname.sh". The script contains all the steps for automatically installing the operating system, including but not limited to downloading and verifying the operating system image, formatting the hard disk, mounting the image, performing the installation, setting network parameters, configuring system services, etc.

[0057] For the process of executing the installation task of the installation script in the server to be installed, it may include: In systemd (a service management tool), a service file (such as my-script.service) can be created and the execution path and parameters of the script can be configured to automatically trigger the installation task of the installation script. Or use the process of Cron Jobs to execute the script at a specific time or periodically.

[0058] In an exemplary embodiment, it is also possible to determine the first installation information when installing the operating system installation package in the server to be installed, and generate a first installation log according to the first installation information; and / or determine the second installation information when the installation task is executed, and generate a second installation log according to the second installation information. Through the recording function of the log recording module in this embodiment, the whole process of the server operating system installation and configuration is monitored, providing a basis for subsequent system maintenance and fault troubleshooting.

[0059] For example, the first installation information includes but is not limited to the installation start time, installation end time, error information during installation, installation result, etc. The first installation log records the whole process of the operating system installation, providing a basis for subsequent system maintenance and fault troubleshooting; the second installation information includes but is not limited to the configuration start time, configuration end time, error information during configuration, configuration result, etc. The second installation log records the whole process of the operating system configuration, also providing a basis for subsequent system maintenance and fault troubleshooting.

[0060] As Figure 4 shown, in this embodiment, the server operating system also includes a log recording module. By storing the first installation log and the second installation log generated in this embodiment in the log recording module, the monitoring of the entire installation process and subsequent maintenance are made more convenient, improving the stability and maintainability of the system.

[0061] To better understand the process of the above-mentioned installation method of the server operating system, the following further describes the implementation method flow of the above-mentioned server operating system installation in combination with optional embodiments, but it is not used to limit the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.

[0062] Further, in combination with Figure 3 the process shown and Figure 4 the system architecture shown, the installation and configuration process of a specific server operating system is described.

[0063] In this embodiment, a method for installing a server operating system is provided. Figure 3 It is the flowchart (two) of the method for installing a server operating system according to the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 3 shown, the specific steps are as follows:

[0064] Step 1: Detect the CPU architecture type of the server to be installed.

[0065] The CPU architecture detection module can be used to automatically detect the CPU architecture type of the server to be installed, such as X86, ARM or other variant architectures. The detection methods include but are not limited to reading the system information or hardware information of the server through the out-of-band management interface, or analyzing the DHCP packets during the PXE boot process.

[0066] For reading the hardware information of the server through the out-of-band management interface, it can be to connect to a server with an installed and running operating system through SSH or ansible to obtain hardware information such as the CPU and MAC addresses.

[0067] For analyzing the DHCP packets during the PXE boot process, it can be to analyze the archType and mac address fields carried in the DHCP request packets when PXE boots to obtain relevant hardware information.

[0068] Step 2: Select and automatically install the operating system.

[0069] According to the CPU architecture detected in Step 1, the operating system installation module selects a compatible operating system installation package from the predefined operating system installation package library and automatically executes the operating system installation process. Among them, automatically executing the operating system installation process can be understood as jumping to the operating system installation page for installation.

[0070] Step 3: Define the specific requirements of the server. The user details the personalized requirements of the server through a pre-configured configuration file (such as in YAML or JSON format), including the software to be installed, the services to be configured, network settings, security policies, etc. This configuration file will be used as the basis for generating subsequent automation scripts.

[0071] Combined with Figure 4 In the operating system installation module including the operating system installation package library, select the selection engine and the installation engine, then the selection engine can be used to select the corresponding operating system installation package from the operating system installation package library according to the detected CPU architecture, and then use the installation engine to automatically install the operating system.

[0072] Among them, the operating system installation package library stores operating system installation packages suitable for different CPU architectures. For example, the CentOS operating system installation package suitable for the X86 architecture, the Ubuntu operating system installation package suitable for the ARM architecture, etc.

[0073] In addition, the installation engine can handle various abnormal situations (such as network failures, damaged installation packages, etc.), and provide detailed installation logs and progress information to facilitate users' monitoring and troubleshooting.

[0074] Next, the implementation steps for generating and executing an automated installation script are provided.

[0075] Step 4: Generate an automated installation script.

[0076] As Figure 4 shown, the automated installation script management module includes a script template library, a script generator, and a script executor. The script template library stores script templates suitable for different application scenarios. The script generator selects the corresponding script template from the script template library according to the specific requirements of the server, and generates a specific automated installation script based on the configuration file. The configuration file defines the specific requirements of the server, such as which software to install, which services to configure, etc. The script executor is responsible for executing the generated automated installation script.

[0077] In Step 4, the script generator parses the configuration file defined in Step 3 and selects a suitable script template from the script template library. The script generator will perform parameter substitution and customization modifications on the selected script template according to the specific parameters in the configuration file, and finally generate an automated installation script that can meet the specific requirements of the server.

[0078] Step 5: Execute the automated installation script.

[0079] In Step 5, the script executor executes the automated installation script generated in Step 4 to complete the further configuration and deployment of the operating system, such as software installation, service configuration, network settings, security enhancement, etc.

[0080] In addition, the script executor can monitor the execution status of the script in real time during the execution process and record detailed execution logs for later problem troubleshooting and auditing.

[0081] Through the above steps, it is possible to automatically identify the CPU architecture of the server, automatically select and install the corresponding operating system according to the CPU architecture, and at the same time customize and execute different automated installation scripts according to the specific requirements of the server, improving the installation efficiency and flexibility of the server.
