摘要： A method and apparatus is provided that provides a reliable diskless network-bootable computers using a local non-volatile memory (NVM) cache. The NVM cache is used by the computer when the network is temporarily unavailable or slow. The cache is later synchronized with a remote boot server having remote storage volumes when network conditions improve. It is determined if data is to be stored in the NVM cache or the remote storage volume. Data sent to the remote storage volume is transactionally written and the data is cached in the NVM cache if a network outage is occurring or a transaction complete message has not been received. The data stored in the NVM cache allows the user to continue operating during network outages and the computer can be cold-booted using the data in the NVM cache if the network is unavailable.

摘要： A system and a method for installing and configurating a package including an operating system, software products, and applications on end-user computers connected to server computers in a network. The method is based on a pull deployment model where installation is triggered and performed on site by the end-user, using tools provided by an administrator. Based on a predefined machine function, a generation process generates a source file having required parameters to make the installation, those parameters being stored in a centralized configuration database. Response files needed for the installation are generated in turn. The system allows tracking the installation, process and reporting its success or failure to the central database.

摘要： A system and method of creating and employing an operating system (OS) image having selected functionality. A user, such as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of personal computers (PCs) or an information technology professional, selects a set of OS components from a plurality of OS components available in an installation OS image. The selected set of OS components is installed as the OS image on a computer readable medium such as a CD-ROM. The OS image includes a script for interacting with the OS image to perform functions desired by a user, such as booting a destination computer and installing a reference OS image or recovering the destination computer from a failed installation of the reference OS image.

摘要： A method and system of communicating with a computer through a network prior to booting the computer's operating system or after operating system failure is provided. A multitasking kernel is implemented in a network enhanced BIOS (600). External references in a NIC device driver are resolved to reference services provided by the network enhanced BIOS. A workstation coupled to the computer through a network may be used to access and set status on the computer prior to loading the operating system or after operating system failure. The multitasking kernel may be operated simultaneously with a conventional BIOS (500). The computer may be further provided with a means for alerting the workstation in the event of a POST failure or operating system crash.

摘要： A remote loading execution system is provided which comprises a server (100) having a managing record file (10) for recording an install execution state of a client (200), a control file (11) for storing execution control information prescribing an execution process of installation into the client (200), an agent (12) which executes installation into the client (200) according to the execution control information stored in said control file (11), an install file (13) to be installed into the client (200) by said agent (12), and the client (200) into which said agent (12) is downloaded. The agent (12) is downloaded from the server (100) to the client (200) before installation. Then, the agent (12) executes installation of an install file (13) into the client (200) by referring to the managing record file (10) and according to the execution information. The agent updates the managing record file (10) according to an install execution state of the client (200). When downloaded again from the server (100) to the client (200) after reboot, the agent (12) continues the installation of the install file (13) by referring to the managing record file (10) and according to the execution information, and further updates the managing record file (10) according to an install execution state of the client (200).

摘要： Downloading code for communicating with a device that joins a network. When the device joins the network, it transmits a multicast packet including a reference to code for use in communicating with the device. Receivers in the network use the reference to download the code for constructing objects to communicate with the device, and the receivers respond with a reference to a lookup service in the network. Using the reference from the receivers, the device registers with the lookup service.

摘要： A field mountable controller boots by transmitting a seed letterbug to a server. The server responds with an initial operating system and program. The program reads configuration information about the controller and transmits it back to the server which responds with a particular letterbug for the controller. The controller then transmits the letterbug to a boot image server which returns a corresponding operating system image to the controller. The controller then boots using the operating system.
