Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of PXE network installation, in particular to a PXE network installation method and device capable of real-time state acquisition and retry. BACKGROUND

[0002] Preboot execute Environment (PXE) is a relatively mainstream remote network installation technology, which is mainly applied to Client / Server (C / S) and used for downloading a boot image file from a remote server (i.e. a resource pool) by a client, wherein the boot image file can be a boot program or an operating system, and the client boots the operating system pre-installed in the remote server according to the boot image file, thereby starting the operating system on the client. In actual application, the common PXE remote network installation technology has the following disadvantages: 1. In the PXE remote network installation process, the user cannot acquire the installation state of the client in real time, and cannot find problems in time; 2. Once the PXE remote network installation fails, the user needs to manually clear the configuration and boot files on the server and manually restart the client for retry, thereby increasing the difficulty of repairing problems and the complexity of retry operation in project delivery.

[0003] Therefore, how to provide a PXE installation method with real-time, high efficiency and high automation degree becomes a technical problem to be solved urgently. SUMMARY

[0007] Step S2: the server installation program backend stores the current PXE network installation state and installation state detailed information reported by the client and displays the same in real time through the server installation program front-end page;

[0008] Step S3: the user determines whether the PXE network installation needs to be re-executed according to the current PXE network installation state and detailed information displayed in real time by the server installation program front-end page.

[0009] Further, in step S1 of the PXE network installation method with real-time state and retry, the client BIOS is set to start and boot through the network.

[0010] Further, the installation state details in step S1 of the PXE network installation method with real-time state and retry include an installation running duration.

[0011] Further, in step S2 of the PXE network installation method with real-time state and retry, when the PXE network installation fails, the client reports the installation failure log to the server installation program backend in real time, and the server installation program backend stores the installation failure log reported by the client and displays the installation failure log in real time through the server installation program front end.

[0012] Further, in step S3 of the PXE network installation method with real-time state and retry, the method comprises:

[0013] When the PXE network installation fails, the user initiates a retry request to the server installation program backend through the server installation program front end according to the installation failure log displayed in real time by the server installation program front end.

[0014] After the server installation program backend receives the retry request initiated by the server installation program front end, the server installation program backend clears all installation state details and PXE boot files of the current node, and initiates a restart request to the client.

[0015] Further, in step S3 of the PXE network installation method with real-time state and retry, the method comprises: when re-executing the PXE network installation, whether to clear or modify the PXE installation configuration is selected by the user.

[0016] Further, in step S3 of the PXE network installation method with real-time state and retry, the method further comprises: when re-executing the PXE network installation, the client BIOS is automatically set to start and restart through the network.

[0018] The client is configured to report the current PXE network installation state and installation state details to the server installation program backend in real time.

[0019] The server installer backend is used for storing the current PXE network installation state and installation state details reported by the client and displaying the same in real time through the server installer frontend page; when the PXE network installation fails, the server installer backend receives a retry request initiated by the server installer frontend, clears all installation state details and PXE boot files of the current node, and initiates a restart request to the client;

[0020] The server installer frontend is used for displaying the current PXE network installation state and details to the user in real time through a page; when the PXE network installation fails, the user initiates a retry request to the server installer backend through the server installer frontend according to the installation failure log displayed in real time by the server installer frontend page.

[0021] Further, the present application provides a computer readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, the computer program being executed to perform the above method.
