SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Diskless or bootrom, is actually a network computer without a hard drive for all the workstations. all
boot from the server through the network. this network be called diskless network and the client be
called Diskless Workstations.
A diskless network is designed to reduce client costs, on the other hand in order to facilitate the repair
and maintenance. Need to think, if the workstation using the software and the operating system from a
server, the server system management and maintenance, software upgrades just completed on the
server.
Ƣu highlights of diskless network is more cost-effective, easy to manage, easy maintenance, security
and stability.
nForce 2,3,4,5.
multiple redundant. when a server is down, the other server can immediately take on
the task.
1. The benefits of diskless Network
1) Save your money: each workstation do not need HDD, be saving a lot of money but that is not the
main ƣu diskless network.
2) Easy to manage: Workstation automatic recovery in the 10s, diskless network, not some random
computer shutdown or software damage.
3) Speed: 12s for WinXP, this is theoretically Servers with HDD system combined with high-speed and
large cache memory, CPU performance, response time, very good thus enhancing performance
workstation power than normal.
4) good security: unique security features help protect the safety partition for workstation systems. not
afraid of attacks by malicious, destructive system. reduce maintenance costs and time system.
5) Update the game: game updates on the server means that hundreds of client be updated.
6) Install quick and simple: with normal network with 100 client, when converting to diskless network
only takes about 3 hours.
Diskless-optimal network structure for a two-tier all-Gigabit Ethernet smart, external interface for fiber
access, intelligent automatic routing switch.

Can install linux netzone from CDROM or USB Disk through the steps:
1) Find all the updates of NXD on the web. For example: NXP-7.X.1596-pro.run
NXP start
NXP stop
Stop NXD services
NXP restart
NXP status
NXP dump
NXP restart-boot
NXP restart-io
2.1. To configure the server before the end of we need to configure the System Root Directory
Steps done:
1) NXD Access XP I / O Manager: can double-click on NXD XP I / O Manager icon or use command
line "nxpiomgr" to open the Data Manager.
Disk root
Basin Disk image file and the file snapshot of the disk, if the disk is a physical partition used by the local
created when the disk directory contains the configuration files of the disk, if people create the disk
image file, the disk image file be created Now in this Letter.
WKS Root
Here are Steps to add the Data Server to Boot Server. In this case we default settings Data Server and
bootserver. Will Steps configure Data Server and private bootserver in the following section.
Steps done:
4) Back NXD interface 7 Boot Manager, click [DiskInfo] -> Select a Data Server (I / O Server) -> click
[Refresh] to update Disks in Data Server.
5) If more than one data server we repeated lƣoc Step 2 and Step 3 until all updates.
After completing the identification Data Server, proceed with the installation requirements Client
Network seting. To configure a number of parameters such as the area allocated IP (like DHCP service in
Windows) to the client, the Gateway address, DNS, and some other parameters to the client.

DNS Setting
How to access internet settings of client by DNS parameters, if it is not installed, the client will not be
exactly on the internet connection. Can install one or more DNS parameters
2) Check if there are multiple network cards, disable or remove the redundant card.
3) Check the QoS service in the [Network property], if installed, should be removed.
4) Turn off the firewall service.
2) All client installation files for Windows Vista \ Win7 have filename as "nxdcli5-XX"
To upload to the server to go through two main stages are: Load the disk image and upload.
1) In NXD boot manager on the server we set [Option] -> Import/Export-> check [Enable Client Upload]
Click [Search]
Select Image to upload Windows:
6) Select the startup disk, if you do not need multiple partitions at the same time, we can skip Steps App
Disk.
7) Press the [Mount] to proceed to transplant disk image on the server to the client, and wait for the
process to complete.
5) If the first load Server Disk, click [DiskMan] to check using the Disk Management utility in
Windows Disk Manager.
7) When the load first need to format the disk, select [Quick format] to format the NTFS file format.
5) Click the [Refresh] and select dest Partition is just mount the partition.
6) Click the [Upload] and wait for the process to finish.
2.6.2 Using the physical partition (Physical Partition)
This relatively simple, do not need to upload files to the server. I just take the HDD from the client to the
server.
1) Shutdown client after installation is complete, remove the HDD of the client.
Diskless client be automatically added to Boot Mamager, when client boot and DHCP request and
waited Server returns. Information of the client also be automatically basin in NXD Boot Manager, for
example such as IP address, MAC address.
I made the steps:
2) Select the Add Client Mode is "Auto-Add on Server" and make the same options such as Figure
dƣoi.
Note: In the [Default Boot] I noticed the option "Network" and "Local HDD". Select option "Local HDD".
when the server requires the client to boot from HDD available client. Option "Network" when you want
the client boot from boot partion specified on the I / O Server.
2.7.2 Checking
1) Remove the HDD available client. In this case the Virtual Disk.
2) Set the priority boot from the network to the client before:
3) Check to make sure the Boot manager on active bootserver, so that the client can successfully
add on Boot mamager
4) Client after having been Boot manager received area and basin some information.
Client has successfully boot using PXE NIC Protocol, Next Steps, booting Windows XP
Depending on the physical disk configuration of the server to which the Letter of NXD system.
Disk root
Basin disk image file and update the root directory restore point, if the disk is a distribution created by
people using physical when that disk directory contains configuration files of the disk, if people create
the disk image file, the disk image file be created Now in this Letter. The recommended way to set this
Letter on a separate partition.
WKS Root
If large volume of data the client can prescribe a large volume capacity for HDD User Root Folder.
Can check: "Enable Auto Restart Service at 4 O'Clock Daily." When that server will restart the service at
the specified time.

1) Cache Server:
Principle: volume of solution used and the volume available for the system cache split 1:1 / 2.
Volume of RAM to cache, so that reasonable split between Image and Game drives.
For du2: 1 Boot Image and 1 Game drives, 8GB RAM Server, 1GB cache tuning for Image and Game drive
3G for example.
Principle: volume of solution used as Cache and the volume available for the system divided by the ratio
1/3, 1/4, 1/5 compared to the Ram system.
For example,: Ram cache at the rate of 1/4 2GB RAM = 512MB.
Get this 512MB for S drive, 64.128 or 256MB. Rest after taking the 512 - S drive used as a cache for the
image and game drives.

In this mode, allowing implementation of a number of actions such as update data to install the driver or
update the data on the client. After the update and reboot the client, the client will return to its original
state.
Steps done:
1) Select a client, make sure that the client is in a state of turn off.
2) Check the "Enable Auto-Select I / O Server", if you choose, you should uncheck. Because the client to
update the data of a disk that is fixed.
3) Check no client is in status SuperWKS, press [SuperWKS]
4) Select the update [Update Mode] and began into SuperWKS mode
5) After the update is complete Turn off client and basin in Server
When select the update mode is "Direct Update" then will be basin immediately, if we select the "Merge
Update" only when we save data at the server, the new official be basin on disk. Option Description
Direct Update
Merge Update
Now update the data can not be credited directly to Image or disk, but only temporarily be
photographed then proceed to write to disk actually.
If we only need to update the application without the need to change the system partition can check
this option.
Remote control allows the client from the server control such as Reboot, Shutdown, Logoff, Wake-up,
and Control.
Note: I can only wake-up the client from the server only when you open the "wake-up on Lan" in BIOS
client.
Server allows remote connection from the client to the server, if the server is Widnows Server, you must
ensure that the client has installed VNC Server service, and this service is working.
If you are a Linux server, it is necessary to use the format "IP address: 1" to connect.
For example: IP server is 192.168.1.220. then to connect to server must enter "192.168.1.220:1" (IP +
Desktop) or "192.168.1.220:5901" (IP + port number).
The recommendation is to apply these settings depending on the actual situation of each client.
Net Boot: High priority use of the network bandwidth of the client
Pagefile Setting: drive containing the pagefile and clicking its thƣoc.
Disk Image can be used as a backup or to add to the I / O Server such as an Image of the client.

back information
Where in the network the client has multiple hardware configurations and sharing a disk image is not
such as this will occur some conflicts, this time should have more options.
For Windows systems, all hardware information will be basin in the registry under the road
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM. Critical value corresponding to this key be basin in road C: \
WINDOWS \ system32 \ config \ system. As such the need to have different configuration for each
different hardware.
For example: the client uses Intel chipset motherboard, another client using the nForce chipset. Then we
can use the Intel configuration such as default configuration. Continue to generate alternative
configurations represent chipset nFore is NFCP, when boot clients can use NFCP read configuration
information from the registry needed to be successful with this hardware configuration.
3) Based on the current configuration, we create another configuration; principle, for clients with similar
hardware configurations, we propose to use the same configuration, there will be reduction of the
volume of same configuration to no avail.
8) After completing all settings, go to the config manager client, select Export and output driver config,
configuration and all current driver will be packed in a separate file.
9) When installing the system, we can quickly restore the configuration and all the drivers that do not
need to perform the steps on how to Import the file has been last basin.
