CLOUD SYSTEM AND BOOT DEPLOYMENT METHOD FOR THE CLOUD SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A cloud system, comprising:
- a boot server connecting to a storage device ;
a storage machine connecting to the boot server, saves operating system (OS) volume in the storage device via the boot server, wherein the OS volume comprises a plurality of images and a plurality of root file systems; and
a host, connecting to the boot server, making a boot request to the boot server for executing a boot deployment procedure via the boot server;
wherein, a pre-determined demand table is saved in the boot server, the demand table recording a content of boot operation assigned to the host, the boot server accessing the images and the root file system required by the boot operation from the storage machine according to the demand table for executing the boot deployment of the host.

Abstract
A cloud system and boot deployment method is provided to offer flexible and rapid host allocation and operating environment deployment. The cloud system comprises a boot server, a storage machine and a host. The required data for the boot deployment procedure is saved in the storage machine in advance. When the host is assigned the boot operation, a user makes a boot request via the management interface of the boot server to the host. The boot server sets up or transfers the file system according to user request and accesses corresponding images and root file system in the storage machine for performing the boot deployment procedure on the host. When there are different application service requests, the boot server respectively applied shared or proprietary images and root file systems for executing boot deployment operations according to each application request.
