Problems solved by technology

[0004] Some existing deployment software such as Oscar (Open Source Cluster Application Resource, an open source cluster application software resource, a set of cluster application software packages developed by the Open Cluster Group) and Systemimager (system mirror) are all aimed at specific clusters. The range is small, the function is relatively single, and the operation is inconvenient

Embodiment Construction

[0030] figure 1 For the hardware architecture used in this method, "switch" stands for general Ethernet switch, "DHCP" stands for "Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol", and "TFTP" stands for "Simple File Transfer Protocol". One of the management nodes serves as a server, providing DHCP services, TFTP services, and image transmission services. The target node is connected to the management node through a switch, and the image is downloaded from the management node to complete the installation.

[0031] figure 2 The flow chart of the main steps of cluster deployment according to this method shows the main steps of cluster deployment using this method.

[0032] image 3 The exact meaning of "bootstrap" is the bootstrap program. It shows the detailed installation process of a target node, that is, the working process of the PXE protocol. The image server and DHCP server in the figure are both on the management node.

[0033] In the specific implementation of this method, ordinary ...

Abstract

This invention relates to method for automatically and rapidly allocating the system nodes of large-scale computer colony, which adopts image-based installing ways, customer machine / server structure, Pre-conducting executing surroundings PXE protocol, dynamic host configuring protocol DHCP, simple files-transferring protocol TFTP and wakeup on lan to realize the automatic and rapid allocation in large-scale colony system. This method comprises the five steps: attaining image, bonding the image with the aim nodes, installing the aim nodes, allocating the aim nodes, testing and so on, which actualizes the completely automation in the course of installing nodes in colony system. Compared with traditional way, the invention largely simplifies the installing course and improves work efficiency.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of computer networks, and relates to an automated and rapid deployment method for large-scale computer cluster system nodes, and in particular to a method for installing and deploying operating systems and application software on cluster nodes. Background technique [0002] High-performance cluster computing systems are currently widely used, and the scale of clusters is constantly expanding. During the construction and operation of the cluster, manual repeated installation and upgrade of operating systems and application software packages on a large number of nodes in the cluster will become a difficult task. [0003] In the prior art prior to the present invention, the operating system and application software are generally deployed by manual or ghost (hard disk copy software developed by Symantec) hard disk burning or NFS (net file system, network file system) shared network instal...
