When was Diskless Remote Boot in Linux created?
Diskless Remote Boot in Linux was created on 2004-04-01.
What does NFS provide in Linux?
NFS provides a method for accessing remote file systems over a network. This can be used for multiple purpose, including unified logins and diskless thin clients.
What is an NFS server?
An NFS server is a daemon that allows other computers to mount filesystems on your computer. This is useful in many circumstances, such as running a diskless workstation, or setting up a unified login system across a network.
What is P.X.E.S?
PXE (Preboot eXecution Environment) is a method for diskless booting over a network. Using PXE, a computer without a hard drive can boot into an operating system. PXE is also used for installing an operating system onto multiple computers at the same time.
What is the bootp protocol used for?
BOOTP (Boot Protocol) may be used to boot remote computers over a network. All major Operating Systems, such as Mac OS X, IBM AIX, Solaris and HP, (excepting Windows) support BOOTP. The concept allows a 'diskless' system to avoid installing (and maintaining) the software on every desktop. The downside is network workload takes a big hit, even to paging over the network. This then requires more BOOTP servers and fewer systems on each subnet.
Diskless system uses which protocol arp or rarp?
You have to use both. ARP and RARP cannot be used for the same purpose one gives IP from the MAC address another one MAC address from IP.
What two partitions do you typically create at minimum during a fedora Linux installation?
Depending on the environment Linux is running in, it doesn't need any partitions. A diskless workstation that boots over a network, a LiveCD, or a floppy disk do not require any partitions.In a typical server or workstation environment, however, one will usually have at least two partitions. One will be the "/" partition in which all files and directories are placed. The other is a swap partition that is used to page data in and out of memory.
What is the BOOTP protocol used for where might you find it in Windows network infrastructure?
BootP (RFC951) provides * a unique IP address to the requester (using port 67) similar to the DHCP request on port 68 AND * can provide (where supported) the ability to boot a system without a hard drive (ie: a diskless client) Apple OS X 10.* Server supports BootP (albeit) renamed as NetBoot. The facility allows the Admin to maintain a selected set of configurations as boot images and then assign sets of client systems to share(or boot from) that image. For example Accounting, Management, and Engineering departments have elements in common, but which can be unique from other departments. Performing upgrades and maintenance on three images is far more productive that working on all client systems individually. Startup is obviously network intensive, and beyond 40-50 clients, the Admin needs to carefully subnet the infrastructure, use gigabit switches, and host the images local to the clients to avoid saturating the network. This will expand the number of BootP servers and multiply the number of images, but the productivity of 1 BootP server per 50 clients is undeniable :) Sunmicro, Linux, and AIX RS/600 all support BootP. Todate, Windows does not support booting "diskless clients".
What is a network password given by the network?
