Detailed Description
In order to make the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application better understood and make the above objects, features and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more comprehensible, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application are described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, a flow chart of a system installation method provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown, where the system installation method may be applied to a KVM client installed on any server (referred to as a target server herein), as shown in fig. 1, the system installation method may include the following steps:
for convenience of description, the following description will be made with the execution subjects of steps 101 to 102 as KVM clients.
In the embodiment of the present application, when a user wants to perform system automatic installation on a target server through a KVM client, the user may remotely access the KVM client (for example, remotely access the KVM client on the target server through a Personal Computer (PC)), and input a system automatic installation instruction for the target server on a designated interface of the KVM client.
When the KVM client receives a system auto-install instruction for the target server, the KVM client may send a first startup item setting instruction to the target server, so that the target server performs a first startup item setting according to the first startup item setting instruction; after the target server completes the setting of the first startup item, the KVM client may further send a restart (reboot) instruction to the target server, so that the target server is restarted to enter a system installation interface corresponding to the first startup item.
The first startup item setting instruction and the restart instruction may be implemented by an IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) command.
And 102, sending a keyboard message to the target server according to the content of the configuration file for system installation so that the target server completes system installation according to the received keyboard message.
In this embodiment, after the target server enters the system installation interface, the KVM client may read the contents of the configuration file (which may be selected by the user) for system installation and send the contents of the configuration file to the target server in the form of a keyboard message.
When the target server receives the keyboard message sent by the KVM client, the system may be installed according to the received keyboard message, for example, selecting an associated option in the system installation interface, or/and filling out associated content, or/and clicking an associated function button, so as to complete the system installation.
In the process of system installation of the target server, the KVM client may display a system installation interface of the target server in an assigned interface of the KVM software, so that when a user wants to know a system installation state of the target server, the user may view a system installation process of the target server on the KVM client.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, since the system installation of the target server is performed automatically by the KVM client, in order to ensure that when the KVM client sends the keyboard message to the target server, the target server has entered the system installation interface, rather than being still in the restart phase, after the KVM client sends the restart instruction to the target server, the KVM client may wait for a preset time period (which may be set according to an actual scenario, such as 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and the like), and then send the keyboard message to the target server. During the waiting time, the KVM client may control the relevant program to be in a sleep state.
It can be seen that, in the method flow shown in fig. 1, the target server is controlled to set the first start item, restart the system installation interface corresponding to the first start item, and then send the keyboard message to the target server according to the content of the configuration file for system installation, so that the target server completes system installation according to the received keyboard message, thereby implementing automatic installation of the system based on KVM, and in the system installation process, the user can view the system installation flow of the target server in real time.
In one embodiment of this application, before receiving the system automatic installation instruction for the target server, the method may further include:
receiving a mirror image mounting instruction, and mounting a target mirror image of a system to be installed in a mirror image mounting interface according to the mirror image mounting instruction;
outputting a first prompt message, wherein the first prompt message is used for prompting whether to use an existing configuration file for system installation;
when a selection instruction for carrying out system installation by using an existing configuration file input in response to the first prompt message is received, inquiring a configuration file saved in advance according to the type of the target mirror image;
outputting a second prompt message, wherein the second prompt message is used for displaying a configuration file matched with the type of the target mirror image;
and according to the received selection instruction input in response to the second prompt message, determining the configuration file selected by the selection instruction as the configuration file for system installation.
In this embodiment, when the user determines that automatic system installation on the target server is required through the KVM client, the user may control the KVM client to enter a mirror mount interface and mount the mirror of the system to be installed (referred to herein as the target mirror) in the mirror mount interface.
After mounting the target image of the system to be installed in the image mounting interface, the KVM client may output a prompt message (referred to herein as a first prompt message) for prompting whether to use an existing configuration file for system installation, and a user selects, according to actual needs, whether to use a configuration file that has been generated and stored before for system installation (i.e., to use the existing configuration file for system installation) or to regenerate the configuration file for system installation (i.e., not to use the existing configuration file for system installation).
In this embodiment, when the KVM client receives a selection instruction for performing system installation using an existing configuration file input in response to the first prompt message, the KVM client may query a configuration file saved in advance according to the type of the target image, and output a prompt message (referred to as a second prompt message herein) according to a query result, where the second prompt message is used to display a configuration file matching the type of the target image, and the user selects the configuration file for system installation as needed.
When the KVM client receives a selection instruction input in response to the second prompt message, the configuration file selected by the selection instruction may be determined as the configuration file for system installation.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, when the KVM client receives a selection instruction for performing system installation by using an existing configuration file input in response to the first prompt message, but does not query a configuration file matching the type of the target image, the KVM client may output a prompt message to prompt the user to suspend the matching configuration file, and the user selects a processing policy according to an actual situation.
In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, it is considered that the KVM mount mirror function may mount a plurality of mirror files, and therefore, after mounting the target mirror of the system to be installed in the mirror mount interface according to the received mirror mount instruction, the KVM client may also show the mounted target mirror to the user, and the user confirms the system mirror that needs to be installed again, and after the user confirms, executes subsequent operations such as outputting the first prompt message.
Further, in this embodiment, after outputting the first prompting message, the method may further include:
when a selection instruction for carrying out system installation without using an existing configuration file input in response to the first prompt message is received, outputting a configuration interface corresponding to the type of the target mirror image;
and generating a configuration file for system installation according to the configuration information input through the configuration interface.
In this embodiment, when the user chooses not to use the existing configuration file for system installation, the KVM client may output the corresponding configuration interface according to the type of the target image, and the user inputs the corresponding configuration information in the configuration interface, so that the KVM client may generate the configuration file for system installation according to the configuration information input by the user in the configuration interface.
In order to achieve the above object, in this embodiment, the KVM client may store corresponding configuration interfaces (which may be generated by codes) in the background for interfaces when the system is installed in different image types, and when the user chooses not to use an existing configuration file for system installation, the KVM client may call the stored corresponding configuration interface from the background according to the type of the target image, display the configuration interface to the user, and perform a custom configuration by the user.
The configuration interface stored by the KVM client may be a simplified version of the system installation interface when the server performs system installation, for example, only including each option or/and input box or/and function button on the corresponding system installation interface, and the description information of the relevant option or/and input box or/and function button may not be displayed in the configuration interface.
After the KVM client generates a configuration file according to configuration information input by the user in the configuration interface, the configuration file may be stored, for example, stored in a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) of the server, to form a configuration file library, and when the user subsequently installs the system again, the configuration file may be used as an existing configuration file for the user to select.
Further, in an embodiment of the present application, in order to improve compatibility of the system installation method provided by the present application and enable the system installation method to be compatible with an existing system installation scheme, after the target image of the system to be installed is installed in the image installation interface according to the image installation instruction, the method may further include:
outputting a third prompt message, wherein the third prompt message is used for prompting whether an automatic response mode is used for system installation;
and when a selection instruction for system installation in an automatic response mode is received in response to the input of the third prompt message, determining to execute the step of outputting the first prompt message.
In this embodiment, after the KVM client mounts the target image of the system to be installed in the image mounting interface according to the image mounting instruction, the KVM client may determine that the user needs to perform system installation on the target server, and at this time, the KVM client may output a prompt message (referred to as a third prompt message) for prompting whether to perform system installation using an automatic response manner, where the user selects to perform system installation using the automatic response manner (i.e., perform automatic system installation) or to perform system installation using a manual manner (i.e., not perform system installation using the automatic response manner) according to actual needs.
When the user chooses to use the auto-answer mode for system installation, the KVM client may output a first prompt message and process it as described in the above method embodiments.
When the user chooses not to use the automatic response mode for system installation, the KVM client may enter a manual system installation process, and the user manually installs the system, and the specific implementation of the system installation process may refer to related implementations in the existing related schemes, which is not described herein again in the embodiments of the present invention.
Further, in the embodiment of the application, in order to improve controllability and flexibility of system installation, in the automatic system installation process, a user may select to switch to manual installation according to actual requirements, and switch from manual installation to automatic installation again.
Accordingly, in one embodiment of the present application, the system installation method may further include the following steps:
in the automatic installation process of the system, when an interrupt instruction is received, stopping sending a keyboard message to a target server according to the content of a configuration file for system installation;
and receiving a configuration instruction input by a user in a system installation interface displayed by the KVM client, and sending a keyboard message to the target server according to the configuration instruction so that the target server performs system installation according to the keyboard message.
In this embodiment, during the automatic installation of the system, the user may switch the automatic installation to the manual installation according to actual requirements, for example, when the user finds that the configuration information of the ongoing system installation is inconsistent with the expectation, or when the user needs to temporarily modify the specified configuration information, the user may send an interrupt instruction to the KVM client through a preset shortcut key or a specified button on a specified interface of the KVM software.
When the KVM client receives the interrupt command, the KVM client stops sending the keyboard message to the server according to the content of the configuration file for system installation, that is, stops the automatic installation operation of the system, and at this time, the user may manually input the configuration command in a system installation interface (such as shown in a designated function interface of KVM software) shown by the KVM client; after receiving a configuration instruction input by a user in a system installation interface displayed by a KVM (keyboard video mouse), the KVM client can send a keyboard message to a target server according to the configuration instruction, so that the target server can select options in the corresponding system installation interface or/and fill contents or/and click function buttons according to the received keyboard message, and the system is automatically installed and switched to be manually installed. At this time, the user may perform corresponding configuration on the system of the target server according to actual requirements, and does not need to configure the system of the target server completely according to the content of the configuration file for system installation.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, after the user selects the configuration file for the automatic system installation, the specific configuration information can be changed according to actual requirements in the automatic system installation process, and the configuration of the system installation is more flexible.
Further, in this embodiment, when the target server enters a new system installation interface and receives a system automatic installation instruction input by a user, a keyboard message is sent to the target server according to the content after the flag bit corresponding to the entry of the new system installation interface in the configuration file for system installation, so that the target server performs system installation according to the received keyboard message.
Specifically, in this embodiment, after the user switches the system installation of the target server from automatic to manual, the user may choose to switch the system installation of the target server back to automatic installation when the target server enters a new system installation interface.
Correspondingly, when the target server enters a new system installation interface and receives a system automatic installation instruction input by a user, sending a keyboard message to the target server according to the content behind the zone bit of the inlet corresponding to the new system installation interface in the configuration file for system installation, so that the target server can select options in the corresponding system installation interface or/and fill in the content or/and click a function button according to the keyboard message.
In order to achieve the above object, in this embodiment, flag bits corresponding to entries of different system installation interfaces in the system installation process need to be set in a configuration file for system installation in advance, and the KVM client may determine configuration information corresponding to each system installation interface in the configuration file according to the flag bits, and further, when the user switches the system installation of the target server from manual to automatic again, the KVM client may find the flag bit corresponding to the entry of the new system installation interface, where the target server enters, in the configuration file, and send a keyboard message to the target server according to content after the flag bit, so as to continue automatic system installation.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, after the system installation is switched from the automatic installation to the manual installation, if there is no need to switch back to the automatic installation, the entry flag may not be set in the configuration file.
In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, when the system installation is switched from the automatic installation to the manual installation, the relevant configuration information in the manual installation process may also be recorded, and the corresponding content in the original configuration file is replaced according to the configuration information, or a new configuration file is regenerated, so that the user may select as needed when the system installation is performed again.

7) the KVM client displays a configuration file matched with the type of the target mirror image; the displayed configuration files can be sorted according to a time sequence (or can be sorted according to other strategies), and the configuration file which is recently added to the configuration file library is displayed on the top and serves as a default option;
8) when a selection instruction of a user for a configuration file (a configuration file for system installation) is received, and a system automatic installation triggering instruction (such as an operation that the user clicks a 'next' function button on a configuration file selection interface) is received, entering a system automatic installation process;
2. system installation phase
1) The KVM client sends an IPMI command for setting a first starting item to the target server to control the target server to set the first starting item; after the setting is finished, the KVM client sends an IPMI command for restarting to the target server, and controls the target server to execute rebot and restart the system;
after the target server is restarted, entering a corresponding system installation interface according to the set first starting item;
in order to ensure that the target server has enough time to complete the restart, the KVM client may wait for 5 minutes before performing subsequent steps after sending the IPMI command for the restart to the target server, during which the KVM client may control the system installation-related program to be in a sleep state;
2) the KVM client analyzes the configuration file for system installation, and sends a keyboard message to the target server according to the content of the configuration file for system installation, so as to control the target server to carry out system installation;
in this embodiment, assuming that the image type of the system installed by the user is type a (which may include but is not limited to CentOS, Debian, or Ubuntu, etc.), the specific implementation of the system installation may be as follows:
referring to fig. 2A, a schematic diagram of a system initial installation interface of a system image of type a provided in this embodiment of the present application is shown, where after the target server is restarted, the target server enters the interface, the interface wants to execute Next, and needs to click a Next button, and since the Next button is selected by default in the interface (i.e., the focus is located in the Next button by default), the KVM client may directly send an Enter key message (i.e., Enter key) to the target server, execute a Enter operation, and Enter the Next system installation interface.
Referring to fig. 2B, a schematic diagram of another system installation interface provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown, in this embodiment, it is assumed that configuration information for the system installation interface in a configuration file for system installation is: selecting a "Use All Space" installation type, checking and modifying partition layout, and executing the next step;
at this time, the KVM client needs to select an option by sending a Tab key message to the server. In the system interface, the 'Use All Space' is a default option, so that no setting is needed for the option; next, the KVM client directly sends the Tab key message N (where N is 6) times, so that the focus reaches the "check and modify partition layout" option, and then sends the space key message to the server through the KVM, so that the "Review and modification verification layout" option is selected, and then sends the Tab key message N (where N is 2) times to the server, so that the focus reaches the "Next" button, and then sends the Enter key message to the target server. At this point, the KVM client sends a keyboard message to operate the system installation interface shown in fig. 2B, so as to achieve the purpose that the installation type is "Use All Space", check "Review and modification sharing layout", and finally execute the next step.
Referring to fig. 2C, a schematic diagram of another system installation interface provided in the present application is shown, in this embodiment, it is assumed that configuration information for the system installation interface in a configuration file for system installation is: setting host name (host name) to eric, and not setting others, at the moment, sending Tab key information to a target server by a KVM client, sending key information of 'e', 'r', 'i' and 'c' to the target server in sequence until an input box acquires a focus, and finally sending the Tab key information to the server again until a 'Next' button acquires the focus, and then sending an Enter key information to the target server, so that the purposes of configuring the host name and executing the Next step are achieved.
The configuration process of other system installation interfaces in the system installation process is similar to the configuration process of the system installation interfaces shown in fig. 2A to 2C, and details are not repeated here in the embodiments of the present application.
In the embodiment, in the system installation process, because the key message is sent by the KVM to realize automatic response, the system installation interface is normally displayed, and a user can check the installation progress at any time and check whether the preset configuration information is completely executed or not; when the user determines that the preset configuration information is not completely executed or some configuration information needs to be changed, the program for automatically answering installation can be interrupted at any time, and the installation is switched to manual installation. After the manual installation of the user is finished, when entering the next interface, the user can also choose to continue the automatic response operation.
Referring to fig. 3, a schematic diagram of a corresponding relationship between a configuration file and a system installation interface is provided, in this embodiment, corresponding flag bits are set in the configuration file in advance corresponding to entries of each system installation interface in a system installation process.
Assuming that the KVM client receives the interrupt command when the system installation is performed on the system installation interface 3, at this time, the KVM client stops sending the keyboard message according to the file content of the configuration file for system installation, enters a manual installation process, and sends the keyboard message to the target server according to the configuration command input by the user in the system installation interface displayed by the KVM client; after the manual installation operation is completed, when entering the next system installation interface (i.e., system installation interface 4), at this time, if the KVM client receives a system automatic installation instruction input by the user, the KVM client may switch to automatic response installation again, at this time, the KVM client may read the configuration file for system installation again, and send a key message to the target server according to the content behind the flag bit (i.e., flag bit 4) corresponding to the entry (i.e., entry 4) of the system installation interface 4, and continue the system automatic installation process.
