Problems solved by technology

[0011] In practical applications, it is found that figure 1 In step 102 of the flow shown, the process for the diskless workstation to obtain the system startup file name is a non-standard DHCP process. Therefore, when the diskless workstation and the Boot Server are not in the same network segment, the diskless workstation cannot obtain the boot server file name from the LAN outside the LAN Obtain the system boot image file name, which leads to the failure of the whole process
That is to say, figure 1 The diskless workstation and BootServer can only be in the same LAN, and the diskless workstation cannot be managed in the three-tier network

Embodiment 1

[0058] Embodiment 1: The diskless workstation obtains the system startup image file name through a non-DHCP message.

[0059] See Figure 5 , Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of the start-up principle of the WAN-based diskless workstation start-up system in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The system includes diskless workstations, DHCP Server, Boot Server, etc. Figure 5 The diskless workstation can be connected to DHCP Server and Boot Server through LAN or WAN. Among them, DHCP Server provides network configuration information such as IP address and subnet mask of diskless workstation to diskless workstation, and IP address information of Boot Server, etc., and Boot Server is responsible for providing system startup image file to diskless workstation. Figure 5 The middle part of is a schematic diagram of the startup process of the diskless workstation in the embodiment of the present invention, and the process includes the following steps:

Embodiment 2

[0080]Embodiment 2: Obtain the IP address of the Boot Server with the DNS protocol.

[0081] Figure 5 The diskless workstation obtains its own IP address and the IP address of the Boot Server from the DHCP Server. The diskless workstation can also obtain the IP address of the Boot Server through the DNS protocol.

[0082] See Figure 7 , Figure 7 It is a schematic diagram of the startup principle of the diskless workstation startup system based on the wide area network in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. The system includes diskless workstations, DHCP Server, DNS Server, BootServer, etc. Figure 7 The diskless workstation and DHCP Server, DNS Server, and Boot Server can be connected through a LAN or a wide area network. Among them, the DHCP Server provides the diskless workstation with information such as the IP address of the diskless workstation, and the DNS Server provides the diskless workstation with information such as the IP address of the diskless workstati...

Abstract

The disclosed system includes server in dynamic host configuration protocol DHCP, guidance server. The system also includes diskless workstation in use for interacting to DHCP server to obtain own IP address, and in use for interacting to guidance server to obtain name of system starting up mirror file and system starting up mirror file. The invention also discloses method for starting up diskless workstation. The invention makes diskless workstation and guidance server possible to deploy to local area network or deploy to network across three layers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to diskless network technology, in particular to a system and method for starting a diskless workstation. Background technique [0002] Diskless workstations generally refer to computers that download and start mirroring work through the network. Diskless workstations generally do not have hard disks or have small hard disks. They support TCP / IP and connect to remote servers through the network. All software is It is downloaded from the remote server (Server) to the local client (Client), so the work of the diskless workstation needs to be started remotely, that is, the diskless workstation accesses the remote boot code through its own network card startup chip (BootRom). The system starts the image file on the server to start the diskless workstation, so that the diskless workstation enters the DOS or Windows operating system. Here, the network card is generally independent, but if the motherboard integrates the network card fun...
