[0057] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. In the detailed description below, for ease of explanation, many specific details are set forth to provide a comprehensive understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure. However, it is apparent that one or more embodiments may also be implemented without these specific details. In addition, in the following description, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted to avoid unnecessary confusion of the concepts of the present disclosure.

[0058] The terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. The terms "comprise," "include," etc. used herein indicate the presence of the features, steps, operations, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, or components.

[0059] All terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art unless otherwise defined. It should be noted that the terms used herein should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with the context of this specification and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly rigid manner.

[0060] When expressions such as "at least one of A, B, and C, etc." are used, they should generally be interpreted in accordance with the meaning commonly understood by those skilled in the art (for example, "a system having at least one of A, B, and C" should include but is not limited to a system having A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B, A and C, B and C, and / or A, B, C, etc.).

[0061] First, the terms that appear in the embodiments of the present disclosure are explained:

[0062] PXE boot: Preboot Execution Environment is a technology that allows a computer to boot an operating system over a network.

[0063] DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) service: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol service is a network protocol used to automatically assign IP addresses to devices on the network.

[0064] TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol, TFTP) service: Simple File Transfer Protocol is a simple file transfer protocol, commonly used to transfer boot files during the PXE boot process.

[0065] MAC (Media Access Control address, MAC) address: Media Access Control address is the unique identification code of a network device.

[0066] Virtual boot environment: refers to a virtual environment for installing a specific operating system derived from each boot loader under the TFTP service. Each environment is marked with the MAC address of the target host.

[0067] Bootloader: Software used to boot an operating system, usually included in a boot image.

[0068] Boot image group: refers to a collection of multiple boot devices, which is used to push different boot images according to different needs.

[0069] Directed boot queue: A queue built under the DHCP service that stores the MAC addresses of servers to be installed in a directed manner, thus implementing directed installation.

[0070] PXE automated boot installation relies on network DHCP self-discovery and automatic media push, typically sufficient for a single server installation. However, in large-scale server installation scenarios, there's a need to install an operating system on specific servers. Booting each server individually and selecting the OS from the installation menu is inefficient. This is typically achieved by specifying the MAC address and operating system for the DHCP service and bootloader on the PXE server. Because bootloaders of various architectures require different configuration files, and other bootloader types are expected to emerge in the future, these different bootloaders may employ different configuration methods to adapt to MAC address matching logic. Consequently, targeted installation implementations will vary significantly across different bootloaders, hindering the deployment of highly integrated, global automated boot installations.

[0071] Based on the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a server deployment method, which includes: in response to a server deployment instruction initiated by a user, building a targeted boot queue according to targeted installation requirement information; generating a virtual boot environment for the target host of the targeted boot queue; when it is determined that any of the target hosts is connected to the network, obtaining the device information of the target host from the targeted boot queue; pushing necessary information for targeted installation to the virtual boot environment corresponding to the target host according to the device information; determining a boot image file and an operating system installation menu according to the necessary information for targeted installation; and pushing the boot image file and the operating system installation menu to the target host, wherein the boot image file and the operating system installation menu are used to realize automatic deployment of the server.

[0072] Figure 1 The application scenario diagram of the server deployment method, apparatus, device, medium and program product according to the embodiments of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0073] like Figure 1 As shown, the application scenario 100 according to this embodiment may include a large-scale server installation scenario. A network 104 is used as a medium for providing a communication link between a first terminal device 101, a second terminal device 102, a third terminal device 103, and a server 105. The network 104 may include various connection types, such as wired or wireless communication links or fiber optic cables.

[0074] A user may use a first terminal device 101, a second terminal device 102, or a third terminal device 103 to interact with a server 105 via a network 104 to receive or send messages, etc. Various communication client applications may be installed on the first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, or the third terminal device 103, such as shopping applications, web browser applications, search applications, instant messaging tools, email clients, social platform software, etc. (for example only).

[0075] The first terminal device 101 , the second terminal device 102 , and the third terminal device 103 may be various electronic devices having display screens and supporting web browsing, including but not limited to smart phones, tablet computers, laptop computers, desktop computers, and the like.

[0076] The server 105 may be a server that provides various services, such as a background management server (for example only) that supports websites browsed by users using the first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, and the third terminal device 103. The background management server may analyze and process received data such as user requests, and feed back processing results (e.g., web pages, information, or data obtained or generated based on user requests) to the terminal devices.

[0077] It should be noted that the server deployment method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can generally be executed by the server 105. Accordingly, the server deployment device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can generally be set in the server 105. The server deployment method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can also be executed by a server or server cluster that is different from the server 105 and can communicate with the first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, the third terminal device 103 and / or the server 105. Accordingly, the server deployment device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can also be set in a server or server cluster that is different from the server 105 and can communicate with the first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, the third terminal device 103 and / or the server 105.

[0078] It should be understood that Figure 1 The number of terminal devices, networks and servers in the embodiment is merely illustrative. Any number of terminal devices, networks and servers may be provided as required. Figure 1 The application scenarios shown are merely examples of application scenarios and system architectures to which the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied, to help those skilled in the art understand the technical content of the present disclosure, but do not mean that the embodiments of the present disclosure cannot be used in other devices, systems, environments, or scenarios. It should be noted that the server deployment method and apparatus determined in the present disclosure can be used in the financial field, as well as in any field other than the financial field, and the application field of the server deployment method and apparatus determined in the present disclosure is not limited.

[0079] Figure 2 A server deployment flow chart according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0080] like Figure 2As shown, the host to be installed pushes device information and requests an address to the DHCP server. The DHCP server pre-assigns an address to each host to be installed, which is then used to push the boot image. The DHCP server places hosts requiring targeted installation into a targeted boot queue. Elements in the queue are represented by the MAC address of the host's network interface card, which connects to the installation network. Each host has a one-to-one correspondence with each queue element. When a specific operating system needs to be installed on a host with a specific MAC address, this solution derives a virtual boot environment from each boot image cluster under the TFTP service. Each virtual boot environment is labeled with the target host's MAC address and has a one-to-one correspondence with the target host. The configuration within the virtual environment is independent of the configuration within the boot image cluster. Configuration files are then tailored from multiple candidate systems to a specific operating system. The boot image is then sent to the target host along with this configuration menu. Furthermore, the virtual boot environment originates from the actual boot image within the boot image cluster, not a copy of the boot image. Therefore, even in large-scale installations, minimal space is used. When the host with the specified MAC is connected to the network, the DHCP service will find this queue element based on the MAC and assign a preset IP address. The information of this targeted installation will be pushed directly to the virtual boot environment of the specified boot loader. The specified operating system installation menu and boot image will then be pushed to the target host by the TFTP service. At this time, the host to be installed can directly boot and install the specified system without the user making a selection.

[0081] The following will be based on Figure 1 The scene described by Figures 3 to 6 The server deployment method of the disclosed embodiment is described in detail.

[0082] Figure 3 The flowchart of the server deployment method according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0083] like Figure 3 As shown, the server deployment method of this embodiment includes operations S310 to S330, and the transaction processing method can be executed by a server or other computing devices.

[0084] In operation S310 , in response to a server deployment instruction initiated by a user, a targeted boot queue is constructed according to targeted installation requirement information.

[0085] In operation S320, a virtual boot environment is generated for the target host of the directed boot queue.

[0086] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the directional installation requirement information includes device information of the host to be installed and specified operating system information, and the device information includes server architecture information and a media access control address.

[0087] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, constructing a directed boot queue based on directed installation requirement information includes: constructing a directed boot queue under a dynamic host configuration protocol service; and if it is determined based on the specified operating system information that there is a directed installation requirement for the host to be installed, using the media access control address of the host to be installed as an element of the directed boot queue.

[0088] In one example, a user configures server deployment on the front-end, such as which servers require specific operating systems. In response to the user-initiated server deployment instruction, the system identifies target hosts requiring the specified operating system based on the targeted installation requirement information and adds these hosts to a pre-established targeted boot queue. The targeted installation requirement information indicates whether the current host requires the specified operating system. This information is determined by the user during front-end configuration, so all hosts in the targeted boot queue require a targeted installation.

[0089] In one example, a corresponding virtual boot environment is generated for each target host in a directed boot queue. Each virtual boot environment is tagged with the target host's MAC address and corresponds to the target host. Because the queue and virtual boot environment are generated independently, there is no need to modify the same configuration file, thus eliminating any contention issues and facilitating the parallel generation and removal of installation policies.

[0090] In operation S330 , when it is determined that any of the target hosts is connected to the network, device information of the target host is obtained from the directed boot queue.

[0091] In one example, when a host to be installed accesses the network, the DHCP server determines the target host's device information from the directed boot queue based on the host's MAC address information. The device information includes server architecture information and media access control address.

[0092] In operation S340 , necessary information for directional installation is pushed to the virtual boot environment corresponding to the target host according to the device information.

[0093] In one example, necessary information for targeted installation is pushed to the virtual boot environment based on device information of the target host to determine the target operating system that needs to be installed on the target host.

[0094] In operation S350, a boot image file and an operating system installation menu are determined according to the necessary information for targeted installation.

[0095] In operation S360, the boot image file and the operating system installation menu are pushed to the target host.

[0096] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the boot image file and the operating system installation menu are used to implement automatic deployment of the server.

[0097] In one example, when a host to be installed is connected to the network and it is determined that the host requires a targeted installation, that is, a specific operating system needs to be installed on a host with a specific MAC address, the necessary information for the targeted installation is pushed to the virtual boot environment corresponding to the host. Based on this information, the boot image file and operating system installation menu required to install the specified operating system are determined from each boot loader within the boot image group. The boot image file and operating system installation menu are pushed to the target host via the TFTP service. At this point, the host to be installed can directly boot and install the specified operating system without the user having to select it.

[0098] The server deployment method provided by the embodiment of the present invention generates an independent virtual boot environment for each target host. By generating a virtual boot environment, the targeted installation of a specified operating system for a host with a specific MAC address is achieved, achieving more refined control and customized deployment, and being compatible with multiple types of boot loader. Since the virtual environment does not copy the boot loader entity but points to the entity, the space occupied is reduced. By constructing a targeted boot queue, the degree of automation of the deployment is improved.

[0099] Figure 4 The flowchart of the server deployment method according to another embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0100] like Figure 4 As shown, the server deployment method of this embodiment also includes operations S410 to S460.

[0101] In operation S410 , in response to a server deployment instruction initiated by a user, a targeted boot queue is constructed according to targeted installation requirement information.

[0102] In operation S420, a virtual boot environment is generated for the target host of the directed boot queue.

[0103] The technical solutions and principles of operation S410 and operation S420 may refer to the aforementioned operation S310 and operation S320, and will not be repeated here.

[0104] In operation S430, when it is determined that any of the target hosts is connected to the network, a preset address is allocated to the target host through a dynamic host configuration protocol service.

[0105] In one example, any of the target hosts is a host in a directed boot queue. When it is determined that any of the target hosts is connected to the network, a preset address is assigned to the target host through the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol service. The address is used to push the boot image file and operating system installation menu required for subsequent installation. The target host can download the boot image file and installation menu from the address.

[0106] In operation S440, necessary information for directional installation is pushed to the virtual boot environment corresponding to the target host according to the device information.

[0107] In operation S450, a configuration menu is determined according to the directional installation necessary information.

[0108] In operation S460, a boot image file and an operating system installation menu are determined according to the configuration menu.

[0109] In one example, device information, including server architecture information and a media access control (MAC) address, is pushed by the host. Based on the MAC address, the host locates the queue element in the targeted boot queue and determines the pre-assigned address. The targeted installation information, including the operating system to be installed on the target host, is then pushed to the virtual boot environment corresponding to the target host. Within the virtual boot environment, a configuration menu is determined based on the targeted installation information. The configuration within the virtual environment is independent of the configuration within the bootloader group. The configuration menu determines the corresponding boot image file and operating system installation menu. In this case, the configuration file is tailored from multiple candidate systems to a specific operating system. The bootloader sends this configuration menu to the target host. The specified operating system installation menu and boot image are then pushed to the target host via a TFTP service. The host can then directly boot and install the specified operating system without the user having to select it. By utilizing a derived virtual environment, the bootloader only requires a basic configuration read mode to complete its work, eliminating the need for users to delve into the complex configuration logic of various different bootloaders. This allows for future compatibility with domestic bootloaders, eliminating the need to modify program code for subsequent boot image updates. Simply configuring and generating a virtual boot environment is sufficient.

[0110] In operation S470, after it is determined that the directed installation is completed, the host element in the directed boot queue that has completed the installation is deleted.

[0111] In operation S480 , the virtual boot environment corresponding to the host where the installation is completed is deleted.

[0112] In one example, when the directed installation is completed, the element corresponding to the directed installation MAC tag is deleted from the directed installation queue of the DHCP service, and the virtual boot environment of the directed MAC tag is cleaned up under the TFTP service, thereby completing the cleanup work of this installation policy.

[0113] Figure 5 The flowchart of a server deployment method according to another embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0114] like Figure 5 As shown, the server deployment method of this embodiment further includes operations S510 to S520.

[0115] In operation S510 , if it is determined that the host to be installed does not require targeted installation, a boot loader is determined according to the server architecture information.

[0116] In operation S520 , the configuration menu of the boot loader is pushed to the host to be installed.

[0117] In one example, if it's determined that the host to be installed doesn't require targeted installation, the server architecture information is determined based on the device information pushed by the host. Global boot matching logic then determines a matching bootloader based on the server architecture information. The corresponding bootloader is selected from the bootloader pool and provisioned to the target server. The bootloader configuration menu now includes all candidate systems, which are then pushed to the host via TFTP.

[0118] The server deployment method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure implements automated targeted installation and post-installation cleanup by constructing a targeted boot queue and cleanup mechanism, thereby improving the degree of deployment automation, reducing manual intervention, and increasing deployment flexibility and efficiency. By generating an independent virtual boot environment for each target host, since the virtual environment does not replicate the boot entity but instead points to the entity, it not only improves deployment flexibility but also reduces space usage. This method is compatible with mainstream and even future boot engines, and addresses all targeted installation requirements through unified logic, improving system compatibility and foresight. Compared to methods that directly modify configuration files under the boot image, this method has the advantages of efficient configuration and strong compatibility.

[0119] Based on the above server deployment method, the present disclosure also provides a server deployment device. Figure 6 The device is described in detail.
