[0053] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0054] In this embodiment, a dual-system automatic installation system is provided. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a dual-system automatic installation system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the system includes: a target computer and a server, the target computer is connected to the server;

[0055] The target computer is used to automatically install the first operating system through the pre-start execution environment and create a reserved partition for the second operating system; in the audit mode, the device information of the target computer is sent to the server;

[0056] The server is used to modify the PXE boot file based on the device information; the server may be a PXE server.

[0057] The target computer is further used to obtain the modified PXE boot file, and boot from the pre-boot execution environment for a second time based on the modified PXE boot file, and enter the pre-installation environment of the second operating system; in the pre-installation environment of the second operating system, install the second operating system in the reserved partition, and configure the dual-system boot file; send the device information of the target computer to the server again, and restart to enter the configuration environment of the second operating system;

[0058] The server is further used to restore the modified PXE boot file to a default state based on the device information sent again by the target computer;

[0059] The target computer is also used to start from the dual-system boot file after the second operating system is configured, and display a dual-operating system selection menu.

[0060] Furthermore, the first operating system is a domestic operating system, and the second operating system is a Windows operating system.

[0061] Furthermore, the target computer of this embodiment is used to implement the preboot execution environment (Preboot Execution Environment, PXE) and the installation of the first operating system, as well as the installation and configuration of the second operating system. For the installation of the preboot execution environment and the first operating system, the target computer is first started through PXE to enter the preboot execution environment. In this environment, the target computer automatically installs the first operating system, and creates a reserved partition for the second operating system according to the preset configuration to ensure that the second operating system has enough disk space for installation. After the installation of the first operating system, the target computer will enter the audit mode (Audit Mode), which allows the administrator to perform further configuration. At this stage, the target computer will send its own device information to the server so that the server can adjust the installation parameters accordingly.

[0062] For the installation and configuration of the second operating system, the target computer obtains the modified PXE boot file from the server and boots again through PXE based on this file. After this boot, the target computer will enter the pre-installation environment of the second operating system and start installing the second operating system into the reserved partition created previously. After the installation is complete, the target computer configures the dual-system boot file to ensure that the operating system selection menu can be displayed at startup. After installing and configuring the dual-system boot file, the target computer sends the device information to the server again and restarts to enter the configuration environment of the second operating system.

[0063] After the second operating system is configured, the target computer starts up through the dual system boot file and displays a dual operating system selection menu during startup. The user can choose which operating system to enter through this menu.

[0064] Furthermore, the server of this embodiment acts as a PXE server and is responsible for providing a PXE boot file. The PXE boot file allows the target computer to boot through the network and enter a predefined boot environment. The server also modifies the PXE boot file according to the device information sent by the target computer to adapt to the installation requirements of the second operating system. After the target computer completes the installation and configuration of the second operating system and sends a device information confirmation, the server restores the modified PXE boot file to the default state to ensure that the subsequent network boot of other target computers will not be affected.

[0065] In summary, the present invention combines the dual-system installation scenario with the PXE process, so that the dual system can be carried out in a batch deployment environment such as a factory, and incorporates the CGI dynamic script into the dual-system installation process, making the entire dual-system installation process more flexible and convenient. The communication between the target computer and the server is realized through the CGI script, so that the server can automatically switch the currently booted system to a domestic operating system or a Windows operating system. The entire installation process does not require human participation, which improves the efficiency of dual-system installation and reduces the possibility of human errors and labor time costs in factory batch installation. In addition, the server of the present invention can automatically analyze the system that the client machine needs to deploy according to the characteristic information uploaded by the target computer of the client, and no subsequent modification is required, saving maintenance costs.

[0066] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a dual-system automatic installation method is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0067] In this embodiment, a dual-system automatic installation method is provided, which is applied to Figure 1 In the target computer in, the target computer is connected to the server, Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a dual-system automatic installation method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0068] Step S201: automatically install a first operating system through a pre-boot execution environment, and create a reserved partition for a second operating system.

[0069] In some optional implementations, the first operating system is a domestic operating system, and the second operating system is a Windows operating system.

[0070] In some optional implementations, step S201 includes:

[0071] Start through the pre-boot execution environment and install the domestic operating system;

[0072] Use the Kickstart file to automatically deploy the domestic operating system and create a reserved partition for the Windows operating system.

[0073] For further information, see Figure 3A flowchart of another dual-system automatic installation method is shown. In this embodiment, the target computer uses PXE to install the domestic operating system, and the domestic operating system is automatically deployed through the KS file (i.e., Kickstart file), and a usable reserved partition is created for the Windows operating system.

[0074] The target computer of this embodiment chooses to start from the network (rather than the local hard disk) when starting up. When the target computer is set to start from the network, it will connect to the configured PXE server and load the pre-boot execution environment (PXE environment) from the server, that is, the target computer loads the boot image from the server via PXE to start the installation process. The Kickstart file is an automated script used to automate the installation process of a domestic operating system. The Kickstart file contains all the configuration information required during the installation of the operating system, such as software package selection, network settings, user accounts, etc. The use of the Kickstart file can ensure the consistency of the installation process and reduce human intervention. While installing the domestic operating system, this embodiment creates a reserved partition on the hard disk according to the preset configuration for future installation of the Windows operating system.

[0075] Step S202: in the audit mode, sending the device information of the target computer to the server, so that the server modifies the PXE boot file based on the device information.

[0076] In some optional implementations, step S202 includes:

[0077] After the domestic operating system is installed, enter the audit mode;

[0078] In the audit mode, the CGI script is run to send the device information of the target computer to the server, so that the server modifies the PXE boot file based on the device information and boots the target computer into the Windows preinstallation environment for startup; the device information includes the MAC address, BIOS-DMI information and the current operating system name.

[0079] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, after the domestic operating system is installed, it enters the audit mode and runs the CGI script to transmit to the server: MAC address, BIOS-DMI information, current operating system name and other information. Running the command in the audit mode of the domestic operating system allows the next boot to continue to start from PXE, and the target computer restarts. The server automatically parses the information transmitted by the target computer based on the CGI script, and modifies the PXE boot file grub.cfg to start the WinPE environment (i.e., the above-mentioned Windows pre-installation environment).

[0080] That is to say, after the first operating system is installed, the audit mode is entered. The audit mode is a special system mode that allows the administrator to further configure and optimize the system without completely restarting to the normal mode, and is used for system configuration and diagnosis. The CGI (Common Gateway Interface) script is a script for a Web server that is used to collect device information of the target computer, such as MAC address, BIOS-DMI (Desktop Management Interface) information, and the current operating system name, and send this information to the server. Through the CGI script, the device information of the target computer is sent to the server. The server needs this device information to customize the PXE boot file. After the server receives the device information, it will automatically parse this information and modify the PXE boot file (such as grub.cfg file) accordingly, thereby ensuring that the target computer can enter the correct environment, i.e., the Windows pre-installation environment (WinPE environment) when it is started next time. The modified PXE boot file is configured to load the WinPE environment when the target computer is started next time, allowing the administrator to further configure or troubleshoot the target computer without having to fully install the operating system. In summary, in the audit mode, the present embodiment runs the CGI script command to ensure that the target computer continues to boot from PXE when it is started next time. In this way, when the target computer restarts, the modified PXE boot file is loaded and the WinPE environment is entered.

[0081] Step S203, obtaining the modified PXE boot file, and booting from the pre-boot execution environment for a second time based on the modified PXE boot file, and entering the pre-installation environment of the second operating system.

[0082] In some optional implementations, step S203 includes:

[0083] Based on the command of the CGI script, determining to start from the pre-start execution environment for the second time;

[0084] During the second boot process, the modified PXE boot file is obtained, and based on the modified PXE boot file, the system is booted from the pre-boot execution environment to the Windows pre-installation environment.

[0085] Further, such as Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the target computer boots from PXE and obtains the boot file grub.cfg to boot into the WinPE environment. That is, the target computer executes the command or setting triggered by the CGI script so that the target computer continues to use the PXE boot mode the next time it starts. When the target computer restarts and attempts to boot from PXE, the target computer requests the boot file from the PXE server on the network. Since the server has modified the PXE boot file (such as the grub.cfg file) according to the device information of the target computer in the previous step, the target computer will obtain this modified version. The modified PXE boot file (such as the grub.cfg file) is configured to load the files and settings required for the WinPE environment. Therefore, when the PXE boot file is loaded and executed, it will boot the target computer into the WinPE environment. The WinPE environment is a lightweight Windows operating system environment, which is generally used for tasks such as system deployment, recovery, and diagnosis.

[0086] Step S204: in the pre-installation environment of the second operating system, the second operating system is installed in the reserved partition, and a dual-system boot file is configured.

[0087] In some optional implementations, step S204 includes:

[0088] In the Windows preinstallation environment, the Windows operating system is installed in the reserved partition, and the dual-system boot file is copied to the EFI boot partition to perform dual-system booting.

[0089] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the target computer automatically installs the Windows operating system to the pre-reserved partition in the WinPE environment, and copies the dual-system boot file UniBootX64.efi file and the grub file to the EFI boot partition. That is, in the WinPE environment, this embodiment recognizes the reserved partition and automatically starts the installation process of the Windows operating system. In order to enable the target computer to start two different operating systems from the same hard disk, this embodiment needs to configure the dual-system boot, such as copying the dual-system boot file (EFI boot file) to the EFI system partition (ESP).

[0090] In this embodiment, the dual-system boot file includes a UniBootX64.efi file (the UniBootX64.efi file is an EFI boot loader, used to support more complex boot scenarios) and a grub file (the grub file is a boot loader, and also supports multi-system booting). These files are copied to the EFI system partition so that a menu can be provided at startup to allow the user to select the operating system to be started. The EFI System Partition (ESP) is a dedicated storage space used when the computer starts up, following the EFI specification, and is used to store the boot loader, the boot files of the operating system, and other boot-related files.

[0091] Step S205, sending the device information of the target computer to the server again, and restarting to enter the configuration environment of the second operating system.

[0092] In some optional implementations, step S205 includes:

[0093] In the Windows preinstallation environment, the CGI script is run, and the device information of the target computer is sent to the server again, so that the server restores the modified PXE boot file to a default state;

[0094] Restart to enter the configuration environment of the Windows operating system and configure and install the Windows operating system.

[0095] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment runs a CGI script in a WinPE environment, transmits information such as the MAC address, BIOS-DMI, and the current operating system name to the server, and the target computer restarts and enters the Windows operating environment. After the server obtains the data sent by the CGI script again, it restores the grub.cfg file to the default state, which is convenient for installing the dual system again next time. That is to say, in this embodiment, under the pre-installation environment (WinPE environment) of the Windows operating system, the target computer runs a CGI script, and through the CGI script, the device information of the target computer (such as MAC address, BIOS-DMI information, and the current operating system name) is sent to the server again. After receiving the device information, the server restores the previously modified PXE boot file (such as the grub.cfg file) to the default state. This step is to prepare for the next dual system installation to ensure that the boot file does not retain the specific configuration of the last installation. The target computer restarts after sending the device information. After restarting, the target computer enters the configuration environment of the Windows operating system and starts the configuration installation of the Windows operating system.

[0096] Step S206, after the second operating system is configured, it is started from the dual-system boot file and a dual-operating system selection menu is displayed.

[0097] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, in the present embodiment, after the Windows operating system is configured, the target computer starts from the dual-system boot file UniBootX64.efi file, and displays the dual-system selection menu. That is to say, after the configuration step of the Windows operating system is completed, the target computer will start from the dual-system boot file in the EFI system partition at the next startup. Exemplary, if the dual-system boot file is a UniBootX64.efi file (the UniBootX64.efi file is an EFI application for providing an operating system selection menu at startup), when the UniBootX64.efi file is loaded and executed, all operating systems installed on the target computer are checked, and a boot menu is generated, listing all available operating system options. In this menu, the user can see the installed Windows operating system and the domestic operating system. After the boot menu appears, the user can use the arrow keys on the keyboard to select the operating system to be started, and press the Enter key to start it. After the selection process is completed, the UniBootX64.efi file starts the corresponding operating system.

[0098] In summary, the present invention combines the dual-system installation scenario with the PXE process, so that the dual system can be carried out in a batch deployment environment such as a factory, and incorporates the CGI dynamic script into the dual-system installation process, making the entire dual-system installation process more flexible and convenient. The communication between the target computer and the server is realized through the CGI script, so that the server can automatically switch the currently booted system to a domestic operating system or a Windows operating system. The entire installation process does not require human participation, which improves the efficiency of dual-system installation and reduces the possibility of human errors and labor time costs in factory batch installation. In addition, the server of the present invention can automatically analyze the system that the client machine needs to deploy according to the characteristic information uploaded by the target computer of the client, and no subsequent modification is required, saving maintenance costs.

[0099] In this embodiment, a dual-system automatic installation method is provided, which is applied to Figure 1 In the server in, the target computer is connected to the server, Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of another dual-system automatic installation method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0100] Step S401, based on the device information sent by the target computer, modify the PXE boot file, and send the modified PXE boot file to the target computer, so that the target computer is started from the pre-boot execution environment for the second time based on the modified PXE boot file, and enters the pre-installation environment of the second operating system. In the pre-installation environment of the second operating system, the second operating system is installed in the reserved partition, and the dual-system boot file is configured, the device information of the target computer is sent to the server again, and the target computer is restarted to enter the configuration environment of the second operating system.

[0101] Furthermore, the device information is sent to the server in the audit mode after the target computer automatically installs the first operating system through the pre-boot execution environment and creates a reserved partition for the second operating system.

[0102] Step S402: based on the device information sent again by the target computer, restore the modified PXE boot file to a default state.

[0103] In summary, the present invention combines the dual-system installation scenario with the PXE process, so that the dual system can be carried out in a batch deployment environment such as a factory, and incorporates the CGI dynamic script into the dual-system installation process, making the entire dual-system installation process more flexible and convenient. The communication between the target computer and the server is realized through the CGI script, so that the server can automatically switch the currently booted system to a domestic operating system or a Windows operating system. The entire installation process does not require human participation, which improves the efficiency of dual-system installation and reduces the possibility of human errors and labor time costs in factory batch installation. In addition, the server of the present invention can automatically analyze the system that the client machine needs to deploy according to the characteristic information uploaded by the target computer of the client, and no subsequent modification is required, saving maintenance costs.
