Introduction
|
| |
Anyue Technology not only offers multicast
system solution based on DOS system, but also
AYGHOST Genie solution based on Linux system.
AYGHOST Genie solution based on Linux system
mainly contains two solutions: PXE solution
and hardware solution, in which the precondition
of PXE solution is that the net card should
have PXE boot function. Or it would not run.
Here we will first introduce how to run net
card with PXE to accomplish AYGHOST Genie.
Main application environment:
All environments with PXE booted net card
Procedures:
1. Installation of
AYGHOST Genie server:
1) Set the computer as CD-ROM boot in CMOS
system. Insert into setup CD, and it will
occur the following interface. Input linux
ks=cdrom:/ayclone.cfg according the prompt,
press Enter key to wizard the execution
of installation program.

|

2) You don’t need to intervene into
installation process. You just need to start
up from hard disk during computer restarts
without taking out CD.
3) The landing information will occur after
installation completed. Usually you don’t
need to maintain this server. The default
username and password is root and 123456 respectively,
if you want to land.
2. Collect IP address
Start up AYGHOST Genie, select Collect IP
Address, and designate the search scope
of IP address, click and begin to collect,
and it will begin to collect every computer’s
name, MAC address, IP address, etc..
Note: This step is unnecessary if these
computers are new ones without any system.
|
| |
|
| |
The Program can search all name, IP address,
MAC address and subnet mask in scope designated
by the local network. Click Save after collection
completed. The information will save as *.cfg
format. |
| |
|
| |
3. Make mother disk
Install OS and necessary software on one certain
computer as mother disk. Run AYGHOST Genie
on this mother disk. See detailed procedures:
|
| |
|
| |
A: Open AYGHOST Genie, and click Create
InstallPack
B: Select Configure Computer Name and IP Address,
and then set net card address and computer
name according to configuration files, and
choose Find Files to get *.cfg files got in
step 1). (This step can be passes if those
are empty computers)
C: Select auto install AyRecovery, and then
choose find folder to get created AyRecovery
installation file. If you didn’t create
configuration file, please click on Configure
to create the configuration file setup.cfg
(It is a must procedure). The generated configuration
file should be kept under the folder where
AyRecovery installer located. Create setup.iss
file according to created configuration file
setup.cfg. Click on “Start”, select
“Running” and input “installation
directory\setup.exe /r” (Installation
directory is the address to place AyRecovery
installer, for example, if AyRecovery installation
file is saved under C: \AyRecovery\, just
input the following order C: \AyRecovery\setup.exe
/r). Open AyRecovery installer, and select
“advanced” installation. Find
setup.iss file under directory C:\windows
(which would be C:\winnt in Windows 2000)
after computer rebooted, and copy the file
into folder under root directory where AyRecovery
installer located. (The step can be skipped
if you do not use AyRecovery)
D: Manually distribute fixed IP address, subnet
mask, default gateway, DNS, etc for this computer,
in which subnet mask should be in accordance
with original subnet mask, and default gateway
and DNS should be original default gateway
and DNS.
E: Click Add to Auto Execute to complete making
mother disk.
Note: If you need to operate AYGHOST Genie
or clone frequently, please click Create
Install Pack to create an install pack for
further use after executing step4 when making
mother disk for the first time. You needn’t
to repeat step1, 2, 3 and 4 any more. Select
Auto Run Install Pack label, and find created
install pack files, and then click Add to
Auto Execute.

Note: You need to shutdown the computer
after complete mother disk
4. AYGHOST Genie
Open AYGHOST Genie server just installed,
set the boot order of client computers as
Boot from LAN, and then it will enter into
AYGHOST Genie V1.0 interface and be the
data receiving state automatically. There
are two detailed work styles:
The first style: sending while receiving,
it will generate corresponding image files
on server at the same time
1) Select the mother disk as the sender,
and enter into AYGHOST Genie interface boot
from LAN.
2) Select Exit, and run AYGHOST under DOS
system to return to AYGHOST Genie interface,
select Continue.
|
| |
|
| |
3) Select to send by current operation mode. |
| |
|
| |
4) Sender will inspect the HD partition
data and connect to server. |
| |
|
| |
5) It will appear a following dialog box
for the first time, input an image name. If
there already have image files existed on
server, it will appear an interface to select
image files, and select an existed one or
create a new one. |
| |
|
| |
6) Receiver boot from LAN and connect automatically
after entering into AYGHOST Genie. Be sure
the number of receiver computers is the same
as the number of connected computers when
the sender end appear following dialog box
(to all receiver ends have been connected).
Press Enter key to begin to clone. |
| |
|
| |
The second style: receive only, and restore
IMG image files generated on server
Exceptional system damages at client end during
use are inevitable. You don’t need to
choose sending while receiving style for the
second time to clone. Set all client ends
to select to receive IMG image files on server.
1) All client computers boot from LAN, and
enter into AYGHOST interface.
2) Execute Exit on one of computers, and run
AYGHOST under DOS system and return to AYGHOST
Genie interface.
3) Select to send by current operation mode,
and prompt to press arbitrary key to get IMG
files. Press Enter key to continue;
|
| |
|
| |
4) The program will ask you Be Sure to get
IMG files, and click Sure to continue. Select
Cancel if you want to exit. |
| |
|
| |
5) There will list all IMG files on server
in the interface, select the corresponding
image IMG file.
6) Press Enter key to begin to clone when
the receiver end number inspected and the
receiver end number connect are the same.

5. Inspection test
After completing multicast systems, and restart
receiver end computers. It will modify computer
name and IP address and install AyRecovery
automatically. Please check whether settings
are correct or not after installation completed:
a: Correctly install AyRecovery or not;
b: The configuration of AyRecovery take effect
or not;
c: The distribution of IP address be correct
or not;
d: The distribution of Computer name be correct
or not;
e: Each computer normally work or not. Selective
inspect the operation and running on part
of software.
Note: If computers have no systems installed
before AYGHOST, you needn’t to inspect
the distribution of computer names and IP
addresses. If computers have other protection
systems installed, inspect these protection
system can normally run or not.
