SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NETWORK-BASED ISCSI BOOT PARAMETER DEPLOYMENT

摘要

This disclosure generally relate to remote booting of a computing system. The present technology relates techniques that can enable deploying boot parameters to one or more booting servers in a scalable and autonomous approach. A service controller can receive and transmit a boot sequence and/or boot configuration to other computing components, such as a BIOS or a host bus adapter. The service controller can transmit boot information by a system interface called a keyboard controller style interface.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving, at a service controller associated with a computing device, a basic input/output system boot order of the computing device; providing, via the service controller, the basic input/output system boot order to a basic input/output system associated with the computing device; receiving, using a network interface, remote boot configuration at the service controller; configuring a remote boot network adapter with the remote boot configuration, and establishing, using the remote boot network adapter, a network connection between a data storage device and the computing device, the data storage device comprising an operation system image operable to boot the computing device.
