Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of operating system deployment, and in particular to a method, system, equipment and medium for batch automatic deployment of multiple operating systems. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of modern information technology and the increasing complexity of IT infrastructure, coupled with the development of big data and cloud computing technologies, the scale of enterprises is constantly expanding, and the number and complexity of IT infrastructure are also increasing. In order to meet the needs of business development, enterprises need to quickly and efficiently deploy a large number of servers and client devices. As the core of enterprise IT infrastructure, data centers need to bear a large number of server requirements. Batch deployment of operating systems can ensure the efficient operation of data centers and quickly respond to business needs.

[0003] The traditional way to automate operating systems is to use PXE+Kickstart to automatically install the operating system. However, the effect of using Kickstart is relatively simple. It can only install one operating system and does not support the selection of multiple operating systems. In actual delivery and operation work, different versions and types of operating systems will be encountered.

[0004] Therefore, how to achieve batch automated deployment of multiple versions of operating systems, improve the deployment efficiency of data center computer rooms and delivery operations, and improve system stability and security is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical task of the present invention is to provide a method, system, device and medium for batch automatic deployment of multiple operating systems to solve the problem of how to achieve batch automatic deployment of multiple versions of operating systems, improve the deployment efficiency of data center computer rooms and delivery operation and maintenance, and improve system stability and security.

[0006] The technical task of the present invention is achieved in the following way: a method for batch automatic deployment of multiple operating systems, the method is as follows:

[0007] High availability service configuration: Based on keepalived configuration data synchronization service, Cobbler service health monitoring and trigger scripts, complete the high availability configuration of Cobbler service;

[0008] Automated deployment of multiple operating systems: Centrally manage the installation and configuration of multiple server operating systems, realize automated installation of operating systems, and manage operating system-related configurations;

[0009] Patch configuration update: Configure multiple patch sources on the Cobbler server to store and manage system patches. After the client machine completes the operating system installation, it automatically connects to the patch source provided by the Cobbler server to update and install patches.

[0010] As a preferred method, the data synchronization service is configured as follows: rsyn+notify-tools is used to configure the data synchronization service. When a file in the directory is modified, deleted or added, inotify-tools triggers rsync to perform a synchronization operation to achieve data synchronization between the system image file and the cobbler configuration file.

[0011] The health monitoring and triggering scripts of the Cobbler service are written using shell technology. The purpose is to regularly check the running status of the Cobbler service, including the self-starting of the cobbler and http services. If a service abnormality is detected, the script is triggered to send an alarm email to the operation and maintenance personnel in a timely manner.

[0012] Preferably, centrally manage the installation and configuration of multiple server operating systems as follows:

[0013] Configure image repositories and installation scripts for multiple operating systems on the Cobbler server;

[0014] Create a separate image repository for each operating system version and store it in a network location accessible to the Cobbler server.

[0015] Preferably, the automated installation of the operating system is as follows:

[0016] Through the configured installation template and configuration file (when installing the operating system automatically, there is a list of operating systems to choose from on the cobbler page), the installation is automatically performed when the client server is started, without manual intervention;

[0017] Using PXE boot, the client server can obtain the files and configuration information required for installation from the Cobbler server in batches over the network, realizing unattended operating system installation;

[0018] The client accesses the network where the Cobbler server is located, supports the loading of Kickstart files, and writes corresponding Kickstart files to guide the automated installation process of the operating system;

[0019] After the client is started through PXE, it loads the startup file provided by the Cobbler server and executes the Kickstart script to complete the installation of the operating system.

[0020] Preferably, the management operating system related configuration is as follows: the Cobbler server uses Kickstart (% post script segment) technology to complete the management server configuration file, and defines network configuration, host name, user account configuration files, and automatically applies network configuration, host name and user account configuration files during the installation process.

[0021] Preferably, the patch source is configured as a YUM source, which makes it easier for clients to update and install patches through YUM commands, and regularly synchronize the latest patch packages from the upstream source to ensure that the client obtains the latest security updates and fixes.

[0022] A system for automatically deploying multiple operating systems in batches, the system comprising:

[0023] High availability service configuration module, which is used to configure data synchronization service, health monitoring and trigger scripts of Cobbler service based on keepalived, and complete the high availability configuration of Cobbler service;

[0024] Multiple operating system automated deployment modules are used to centrally manage the installation and configuration of multiple server operating systems, realize automated installation of operating systems, and manage operating system-related configurations;

[0025] The patch configuration update module is used to configure multiple patch sources on the Cobbler server to store and manage system patches. After the client machine completes the operating system installation, it automatically connects to the patch source provided by the Cobbler server to update and install patches.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment, the working process of the system is as follows:

[0027] (1) The Cobbler server uses a high-availability cluster configuration (to prevent single point failure) to provide web access services, operating system deployment, and patch updates.

[0028] (2) Ensure that the client and the Cobbler server are in the same network environment and check the network status:

[0029] If the network is abnormal, check the client network information;

[0030] (3) Check the service configuration information of the Cobbler server to ensure that the server-side cobbler, DHCP, http, and keepalived services are in normal operation;

[0031] (4) Obtain the version information of the operating system or update patch, obtain a list of all operating system version information that can be deployed and installed, and determine whether the version information is obtained:

[0032] If the version information is not obtained, recheck or update the service configuration;

[0033] (5) Based on actual needs, determine whether the required version information is included:

[0034] If the required version information is included, the execution instruction is sent and the execution starts automatically. After the execution is completed, the operating system deployment status or patch installation status is checked, and the installation process is completed;

[0035] (6) After the installation is complete, check whether the version information matches:

[0036] If the versions do not match, you need to check the server configurations, re-update the configuration service, and restart the client.

[0037] An electronic device, characterized in that it comprises: a memory and at least one processor;

[0038] Wherein, the memory stores computer-executable instructions;

[0039] The at least one processor executes the computer-executable instructions stored in the memory, so that the at least one processor executes the above-mentioned method for batch automatic deployment of multiple operating systems.

[0040] A computer-readable storage medium stores computer-executable instructions. When a processor executes the computer-executable instructions, the above-mentioned method for batch automatic deployment of multiple operating systems is implemented.

[0044] (III) The present invention is based on cobbler technology, and only needs to deploy its server and dependent services (DHCP, TFTP, HTTP, etc.), and the client machine only needs to access the network; it realizes the installation of multiple versions of operating systems without manual intervention. It greatly improves the deployment efficiency of data center computer rooms and delivery and operation and maintenance, reduces labor costs, reduces the probability of errors, and ensures the security and stability of the system;

[0045] (iv) The present invention abandons the traditional ISO image mounting or USB disk booting method and uses the cobbler tool technology to deploy the operating system unattended, thereby improving the deployment efficiency and reducing the errors that occur during the installation of the operating system;
