[0051] 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.

[0052] In this embodiment, an automated operating system deployment system is provided. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an automated operating system deployment system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the system includes: a target computer 110 and a PXE server 120 connected to each other;

[0053] The target computer 110 is used to write PN information into the BIOS-DMI information of the target computer 110; the PN information includes installation requirement information;

[0054] The PXE server 120 is used to assign an IP address to the target computer 110 through a DHCP service, and to send a target temporary boot file to the target computer 110 through a TFTP service;

[0055] The target computer 110 is further used to read the PN information written into the BIOS-DMI information through the target temporary boot file, and send the PN information to the PXE server 120; the PXE server 120 includes a configuration file corresponding to each PN information;

[0056] The PXE server 120 is further used to send the configuration file corresponding to the PN information to the target computer 110;

[0057] The target computer 110 is also used to perform an automatic installation process of the operating system based on the configuration file.

[0058] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the target computer 110 refers to a computer that needs to be installed with an operating system, configured with a driver, and deployed with software. The target computer 110 will have its specific PN information written into its BIOS-DMI (Desktop Management Interface) information during the production process. The PN information contains all the key information required by the computer during the installation process, such as the operating system (OS) to be installed, the corresponding driver (Driver), and specific software (Software).

[0059] Further, in this embodiment, the PXE server 120 is one of the core components of the automated deployment system, and is responsible for providing network boot services, IP address allocation, boot file transmission, and distribution of installation files for the target computer 110. The PXE server 120 communicates with the target computer 110 through the DHCP protocol and the TFTP protocol, and provides corresponding installation resources according to the needs of the target computer 110. The target computer 110 and the PXE server 120 cooperate with each other in the PXE automated deployment system based on BIOS-DMI, and jointly realize the automated installation and configuration of the operating system. The above deployment method not only simplifies the installation process, but also greatly improves the installation efficiency and accuracy.

[0060] In summary, in the process of computer production, the present invention writes PN information containing the information of the operating system, driver, software, etc. to be installed into the BIOS-DMI information, and then configures the operating system, driver, software, etc. corresponding to the PN on the PXE server. When the computer is connected to the PXE server, the PXE server assigns an IP address to the computer through the DHCP service, and sends the target temporary boot file through the TFTP service. The computer uses this target temporary boot file to read the PN information in the BIOS-DMI information and transmits it to the PXE server. The PXE server sends the corresponding operating system, driver, and software to the computer based on the received PN information, thereby starting and automatically completing the installation process of the operating system.

[0061] The above solution not only simplifies the operation process, but also improves the accuracy and efficiency of installation. Through automated processing, it reduces the possibility of human error and saves time and labor costs. In addition, the reusability of the configuration file of PN information further reduces the time cost of building the installation image, providing strong support for the large-scale deployment of domestic operating systems.

[0062] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of an automated operating system deployment 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.

[0063] In this embodiment, an automated operating system deployment method is provided, which is applied to Figure 1 The target computer 110 is connected to the PXE server 120. Figure 2 is a flow chart of an automated operating system deployment method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0064] Step S201, writing PN information into the BIOS-DMI information of the target computer 110; the PN information includes installation requirement information.

[0065] In some optional implementations, the step S201 includes:

[0066] During the production process of the target computer 110, the PN information is written into the BIOS-DMI information of the target computer 110; the BIOS-DMI information is information stored in a specified data area in the BIOS system of the target computer 110; the installation requirement information includes the operating system information, driver information and software configuration information that need to be installed on the target computer 110; each configuration file corresponding to the PN information includes an operating system image, a driver package and a software configuration package.

[0067] For further information, see Figure 3 A flowchart of another automated operating system deployment method is shown. Figure 3The current computer in the target computer 110 is the target computer 110. In this embodiment, during the production process of the target computer 110 (i.e., when the computer leaves the factory and is configured for the first time), the specified PN information is first written into the BIOS-DMI information. The PN information contains the operating system information OS, driver information, and software configuration information required by the target computer 110 during the installation process, and the operating system information OS, driver information, and software configuration information corresponding to the PN information are configured on the PXE server 120. Among them, the operating system information indicates the operating system version and type that the target computer 110 should install. The driver information lists the specific drivers required for the computer hardware to ensure that the hardware can work correctly. The software configuration information includes the application programs, security software, or other configuration settings that need to be preinstalled. The PN information of this embodiment is written into the BIOS-DMI (Desktop Management Interface) information of the target computer 110. BIOS-DMI is a specified data area stored in the BIOS system for storing and managing system configuration information. The BIOS-DMI information can be read when the computer is started, so that the computer can be configured and identified without an operating system. In the PXE server 120, each PN information has a corresponding configuration file. The configuration file contains the specific files and data required for the actual installation process, such as: operating system image (complete operating system installation file), driver package (compressed package containing all necessary hardware drivers), software configuration package (a collection of pre-installed software and its configuration files).

[0068] In this embodiment, by writing PN information into BIOS-DMI information, the target computer 110 can automatically identify and request the required installation files and configurations when connected to the PXE server 120 without manual intervention; the PN information is directly associated with the specific hardware configuration and requirements, ensuring the accuracy and compatibility of the installation process, and the PN information of this embodiment can be customized according to different target computers 110, which is flexible.

[0069] Step S202: obtaining an IP address from the PXE server 120 through a DHCP service, and obtaining a target temporary boot file from the PXE server 120 through a TFTP service.

[0070] In some optional implementations, step S202 includes:

[0071] When the target computer 110 starts, a DHCP request is sent to the PXE server 120 to obtain the IP address assigned by the PXE server 120 to the target computer 110;

[0072] Based on the IP address, a TFTP protocol request is sent to the PXE server 120 to obtain the target temporary boot file (the target temporary boot file may be a temporary boot file NETBOOT.EFI).

[0073] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the current target computer 110 is connected to the PXE server 120, the PXE server 120 assigns an IP address to the target computer 110 through the DHCP service, and sends a temporary boot file NETBOOT.EFI to the target computer 110 through the TFTP service.

[0074] This embodiment obtains an IP address through a DHCP service, that is, when the target computer 110 is started and set to start from the network (i.e., PXE startup), the target computer 110 will first send a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) request to the network. After receiving the DHCP request, the PXE server 120 will identify the DHCP request as a PXE startup request, and based on the network configuration and policy, assign a temporary IP address to the target computer 110 (it can also assign a subnet mask, a default gateway, and a DNS server). This information will allow the target computer 110 to communicate in the network. The target computer 110 uses the IP address information provided by the PXE server 120 to configure its network interface so that it can communicate with other devices in the network.

[0075] Afterwards, this embodiment also obtains the target temporary boot file through the TFTP service, that is, after the IP address is configured, the target computer 110 will send a TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) request to the PXE server 120, requesting to download a target temporary boot file named NETBOOT.EFI. This file is a necessary boot program in the PXE startup process, which is used to enable the target computer 110 to load and start the subsequent installation process. After receiving the TFTP request, the PXE server 120 will search for the NETBOOT.EFI file in the TFTP service root directory configured therein and send it to the target computer 110. Through the TFTP protocol, the NETBOOT.EFI file is transferred from the PXE server 120 to the memory of the target computer 110 as the boot program for the next startup of the target computer 110.

[0076] This embodiment ensures that the target computer 110 can obtain the necessary network configuration information and temporary boot files from the PXE server 120, so that the subsequent operating system installation process can be continued. The IP address is obtained through the DHCP service, so that the target computer 110 can communicate in the network; the temporary boot files are obtained through the TFTP service, which provides necessary support for the further startup and installation process of the target computer 110.

[0077] Step S203, reading the PN information written into the BIOS-DMI information through the target temporary boot file, and sending the PN information to the PXE server 120; the PXE server 120 includes a configuration file corresponding to each PN information.

[0078] Further, the current target computer 110 reads the PN information pre-written in the BIOS-DMI information through the NETBOOT.EFI target temporary boot file, and transmits the PN information to the PXE server 120. That is, in this embodiment, during the startup process, the target computer 110 will execute the target temporary boot file NETBOOT.EFI obtained from the PXE server 120 through the TFTP service. The target temporary boot file has the function of reading the BIOS-DMI information. After reading the BIOS-DMI information, the target temporary boot file will extract the PN information therefrom (the PN information is pre-stored in the BIOS-DMI information in a standard format to ensure that the PXE server 120 can recognize and process it). After extracting the PN information, the target computer 110 sends the PN information to the PXE server 120. The PXE server 120 is configured with a mechanism for receiving and parsing such PN information so as to determine and prepare the corresponding operating system, driver and software according to the PN information.

[0079] Exemplarily, one or more configuration files are maintained in the PXE server 120, and these configuration files correspond to different PN information. Each configuration file contains the download path or location information of the operating system image, driver and software package for a specific PN. When the PXE server 120 receives the PN information sent by the target computer 110, it searches and loads the corresponding configuration file to prepare for the subsequent download and installation process.

[0080] Step S204, obtaining a configuration file returned by the PXE server 120 based on the PN information, and performing an automatic installation process of the operating system based on the configuration file.

[0081] In some optional implementations, step S204 includes:

[0082] Obtain the configuration file returned by the PXE server 120 based on the PN information, and start booting the operating system;

[0083] Based on the configuration file, the installation process of the operating system, driver and software configuration is automatically performed.

[0084] Furthermore, the PXE server 120 sends the specified operating system OS, driver, and software to the current computer according to the configuration file corresponding to the PN information of the current target computer 110, and the current computer starts to start the operating system OS and performs the automatic installation process of the OS. That is, in this embodiment, once the PN information is sent to the PXE server 120, the PXE server 120 will search and return the corresponding configuration file based on the PN information. The configuration file contains detailed information such as the operating system, driver, and software configuration that the target computer 110 needs to install. After obtaining the configuration file, the target computer 110 will start to start the operating system, which means transitioning from the network boot process to the actual operating system loading and initialization stage.

[0085] In the automatic installation process, based on the configuration file obtained, the target computer 110 in this embodiment automatically performs the installation process of the operating system, driver, and software configuration. This automated process greatly reduces manual intervention and improves installation efficiency and accuracy. Exemplarily, the specific installation process includes steps such as decompressing the installation image, configuring system parameters, and installing necessary drivers and applications. The entire process is automatically completed according to the instructions in the configuration file. In this embodiment, BIOS-DMI is combined with PXE so that the PXE server 120 can automatically install more OS according to different BIOS-DMIs. The production process only needs to write the BIOS-DMI information in advance and prepare the configuration file corresponding to the PN information in advance. The entire process can be automatically run without manual participation, thereby improving accuracy in production. Once configured, the configuration file of the PN information can be used permanently, greatly saving the time cost of building the installation image.

[0086] In summary, in the process of computer production, the present invention writes PN information containing the information of the operating system, driver, software, etc. to be installed into the BIOS-DMI information, and then configures the operating system, driver, software, etc. corresponding to the PN on the PXE server. When the computer is connected to the PXE server, the PXE server assigns an IP address to the computer through the DHCP service, and sends the target temporary boot file through the TFTP service. The computer uses this target temporary boot file to read the PN information in the BIOS-DMI information and transmits it to the PXE server. The PXE server sends the corresponding operating system, driver, and software to the computer based on the received PN information, thereby starting and automatically completing the installation process of the operating system.

[0087] The above solution not only simplifies the operation process, but also improves the accuracy and efficiency of installation. Through automated processing, it reduces the possibility of human error and saves time and labor costs. In addition, the reusability of the configuration file of PN information further reduces the time cost of building the installation image, providing strong support for the large-scale deployment of domestic operating systems.

[0088] In this embodiment, an automated operating system deployment method is provided, which is applied to Figure 1 The PXE server 120 is connected to the target computer 110. Figure 4 is a flowchart of another automated operating system deployment method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0089] Step S401, assigning an IP address to the target computer 110 through the DHCP service, and sending a target temporary boot file to the target computer 110 through the TFTP service, so that the target computer 110 reads the PN information pre-written in the BIOS-DMI information area of ​​the target computer 110 through the target temporary boot file.

[0090] Step S402, obtaining the PN information sent by the target computer 110, and sending a configuration file corresponding to the PN information to the target computer 110, so that the target computer 110 performs an automatic installation process of the operating system based on the configuration file.

[0091] In summary, in the process of computer production, the present invention writes PN information containing the information of the operating system, driver, software, etc. to be installed into the BIOS-DMI information, and then configures the operating system, driver, software, etc. corresponding to the PN on the PXE server. When the computer is connected to the PXE server, the PXE server assigns an IP address to the computer through the DHCP service, and sends the target temporary boot file through the TFTP service. The computer uses this target temporary boot file to read the PN information in the BIOS-DMI information and transmits it to the PXE server. The PXE server sends the corresponding operating system, driver, and software to the computer based on the received PN information, thereby starting and automatically completing the installation process of the operating system.

[0092] The above solution not only simplifies the operation process, but also improves the accuracy and efficiency of installation. Through automated processing, it reduces the possibility of human error and saves time and labor costs. In addition, the reusability of the configuration file of PN information further reduces the time cost of building the installation image, providing strong support for the large-scale deployment of domestic operating systems.
