    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for remotely booting a client from a storage area network (“SAN”). A connection module enables a client, such as a diskless client, to connect to two or more storage area networks (“SANs”), the SANs belonging to a group of redundant SANs, each SAN in the group redundantly storing at least a portion of substantially identical operating system data for the client. The boot module enables the client to remotely boot an operating system from the two or more redundant SANs. The boot module makes at least one read request to each of the two or more connected SANs, each read request configured to retrieve a disparate portion of the operating system data for loading the operating system onto the client. The boot module loads the operating system onto the client using a combination of data retrieved from the two or more connected SANs.

    摘要: A technique for booting a stateless client includes booting a virtual machine (VM) monitor on the client. The VM monitor is stored in a non-volatile memory area of a memory subsystem (of the client) and a first portion of an operating system (which does not include any state information for the operating system) is stored in the non-volatile memory area of the client. Booting of the operating system for the client is initiated and a remote storage (that stores a second portion of the operating system that includes state information for the operating system) is accessed via a communication link. Booting of the operating system for the client is completed using the second portion of the operating system.

    摘要: A method, apparatus, and system are disclosed of forward caching for a managed client. A storage module stores a software image on a storage device of a backend server. The backend server provides virtual disk storage on the storage device through a first intermediate network point for a plurality of diskless data processing devices. Each diskless data processing device communicates directly with the first intermediate network point. The storage module caches an image instance of the software image at the first intermediate network point. A tracking module detects an update to the software image on the storage device. The storage module copies the updated software image to the first intermediate network point as an updated image instance.
