In one embodiment, the apparatus further includes: after installing the system and the driver included in the installation image file, unmounting the installation image file.

The automatic installation of drivers when the management device solves the batch installation of the operating system can include the following parts:

Device management: Due to the need to realize the automatic installation of the driver during the system installation process, it is necessary to take over the BMC of several devices, because the BMC realizes the out-of-band management function. Therefore, it can be managed by FIST and provide data support for subsequent batch installation of operating systems and drivers.

Image management: Upload operating system images through the web, which can be used to install operating systems and drivers in batches, choose to install a specific operating system, and do not need to manually mount the image to each device, upload the driver image through the web, and inventory the driver files and The driver configuration file can display all the driver files in the image file and the specific drivers that are supported to be installed on some specified operating systems.

Configuration Template Management: Create templates that meet your needs. Including the operating system, specifying the logical disk, network configuration, and selecting the driver file that matches the selected operating system and the device hardware.

Template application management: Apply the template created in the configuration template pipe to the feature device. Before installing the system, you need to check the validity of the current OS image and driver image. The driver configuration file is encrypted by MD5, and the driver configuration file cannot be manually tampered with. After completing the above verification, it is also necessary to identify whether the driver and device hardware in the template match. Through the IPMI command, you can obtain the PCIE information list of the specified device. And by matching the device type corresponding to each driver in the driver configuration file and the device type in the specified device PCIE information, the main matching information includes: manufacturer ID, device ID, etc., the information of the device hardware can be uniquely determined. When all the drivers selected in the template can be uniquely matched to the real device hardware, perform the operation of simulating mount KVM, and mount the operating system image and driver image to each selected device. Execute the IPMI command to make the device boot from IFIST and obtain the IFIST IP address. FIST communicates to each device's IFIST to execute commands to install specific operating systems and drivers based on template information. After waiting for the IFIST terminal to return the operation result information, FIST displays the operation result to the user. Users can also open the KVM of the device through the interface provided by FIST, and realize the real-time display of the installation system and the driver. After the IFIST side receives the command to install the operating system and the driver, it can modify the corresponding ks script file or the automatic response script such as the antoinst.xml file according to the template information to automatically install the operating system. The driver file of the device is copied from the mount point to IFIST, and then copied to the logical disk where the system needs to be installed. After the system installation is completed, the command to install the driver is added to the installation script. The operating system image and driver image are popped up on the IFIST side, and the installation is complete.
