Abstract
Personal Computers are a fundamental tool in many disciplines of study and
work. In many cases they are offered to users inside an open room to be used
freely for their needs. A college computer laboratory is just one limit example of
this situation. Students of different courses, with different needs, are sharing
the same infrastructure.
Technical managers know well the needs of maintenance of shared computer
labs. Many people entering and using the computers represents a lot of small
hardware reparations, resulting in a heterogeneous environment due to
reparations and component substitutions. Then the real complexity arises:
software management. In addition to the initial requirements of software to
install on computers, the heterogeneous hardware makes exponential the
number of combinations to maintain.
The requirements are just a remote server connected to a network to the PC
laboratory. This project, OS deployment system, is a modified way to use Linux
thin client to restore images, using kexec to boot an OS without reboot. The
state of the art on similar tools is the Rembo system, recently bought by IBM,
added to the Tivoli Provisioning Manager suite.
This final thesis presents how the OS deployoment system has improved to
overcome PC labs management.
The OS deployment system is a free software solution that permits:
• The end-user to restore, interactively and easely, operating systems
images on demand.
- Multiple OS management.
- Improve maintenance's time, autorestoring lab's computers to the initial
configuration simultaneously.
- An empty PC can be filled up with an operating system and software via
network.
- Fast image restoring.
Descripció
The main project’s objective is to design and build an OS deployment system
taking advantage of the Linux OS and the Open Source community
developments. This means to use existing technologies that modularize the
system. With this philosophy in mind, the number of developed code lines within
the project is keeping as small as possible.
As REMBO, the OS deployment system to develop has to be transparent to the
user. This means a system with a friendly user interface and no technological
knowledge needed to manage it.
