2 Introduction CCBoot enables diskless boot Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 with iSCSI. Diskless boot makes it possible for computers to be operated without a local disk. The 'diskless' computer is connected to a hard drive over a network and boots up an operating system from a remotely located machine. CCBoot is the convergence of the rapidly emerging iSCSI protocol with gPXE diskless boot technology. Remote boot over iSCSI, or CCBoot, pushes the iSCSI technology even further, further, opening the door to the exciting possibility of the diskless computer. CCBoot technology allows a diskless boot of most W indows OS from an iSCSI target machine remotely located over a standard IP network. CCBoot offers a seamless diskless boot. Eliminating the need for a local hard drive opens a wide range of possibilities for network management. Using this configuration, the disks for many network computers can be centrally managed, thereby facilitating backup, redundancy, and dynamic allocation of valuable storage resources while at the same time reducing cost to the enterprise. Booting from iSCSI makes system administration considerably easier. Freeing a server of its boot volume allows administrators to manage investments in their iSCSI SANs, attaining improved data security, integrity and recovery, higher availability, quicker server deployment deployment & repurposing, repurposing, and more efficient utilization of storage resources.

23 Failover(Super Path) 23.1 Features CCBoot Super Path is based on iSCSI failover technology. It is used for making double server run at the same time, if one of servers has broken, another server can continue to run run and it will not affect PC on clients, it’s not necessary to reboot the client PC even. Furthermore, Furthermore, the rapid connection is another advantage of CCBoot Super Path. That’s to say, it wouldn’t delay any time when switching the server.

23.2 Steps Steps for Installation You need to install CCBoot version 20120327, then please follow the instructions: open CCBoot->" options" , It will appear "CCBoot Options" dialogue box please fill" iqn.2008-12.com.ccboot.www" in "iSCSI Target Name" box. Install CCBootClient version 20120327 on client which has disc, then upload the image Please boot PC by super client with the image you have upload , then open client interface and press "Ctrl+H" to install Super Path drive. Please notice that this step must be finished under diskless booting. It’s necessary to reboot your PC on client and then power off it. And disable the super client. Copy the image you have finished to both servers. And the name of image and location should be same. Add the same clients on both server including PC’s name, IP Address, boot image path, and game disc’s path. But the location to write back file can be different. Importantly, please fill the two server addresses on "Boot Server Address" , and split the IP Addresses by semicolon. Furthermore, please click to select "Enable Failover".

































24 CCBoot + Complicated Network Features Design of two-segment or multiple segments, and workstations respectively by two or more network cards on the server connected to the hardware and software installed just as easily, workstations in different network segments, over a different network adapter reads data from the server, this will not only alleviate the pressure on the server network card, but also avoided due to an equipment failure, caused by paralysis of the entire network, or blocked.

24.1 Single Network Segment On CCBoot Server, there are two NICs in the same LAN, CCBoot server settings are as follows: For example, two Server LAN IP is set to: 192.168.1.253; 192.168.1.254 192.168.1.254 Gateway: 192.168.1.1 1. Open the CCBoot Main Interface, click "Options" button, choose "DHCP" Settings tab, on the DHCP server IP selection please choose "0.0.0.0 "IP address then click OK. 2. Open the User Management, click on client settings interface inside of the boot server IP "fill the need to start the server IP such as 192.168.1.253. 192.168.1.253. 3. May fill in first a client, then select default, then the client can start from this network card, then revises this default client again "start server IP" , for example: Changes the client which 192.168.1.254 starts that again from 192.168.1.254 this network card to start. So that you can achieve a single LAN Server dual-NIC machine.

24.2 Dual Lan Segment A Server PC installed with two different network cards, CCBoot server settings are as follows: Such as the two Server LAN IP is: 192.168.1.254; 192.168.0.254
































2.


Open the the user management, management, click client client settings settings interface, start the the server in the IP

which fill the need to start the server IP. For example, 192.168.0.254, fill the custom gateway: 192.168.0.1. 3.

May fill in first a client, and then select the default, default, then the client can can start from the the

NIC, belong to the local area network; start the server and then modify the default client IP and gateway, for example: server IP changed to: custom gateway 192.168.1.254 to: 192.168.; so restart the client from 192.168.1.25 This network connection has started. This will achieve the dual card Dual LAN with a single server machin

24.3 VLAN Features VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a logical LAN device is divided into a network segment, emerging data exchange technology enabling virtual work groups. This emerging technology is mainly used in switches and routers, but the mainstream applications of the switch. VLAN is a physical network according to the Purposes, the Working Group, and Applications to the logical division of the local area network is a broadcast domain, and the user's physical location. VLAN in the network users to communicate over a LAN switch. A member of the VLAN to see less than a member of another VLAN. VLAN Topology

25 Windows License Problem How to use Genuine License of Windows on CCBoot? For Windows XP please use Windows XP Volume License For Windows 7 we have 3 Methods: Install Windows 7 as a normal on your Master PC, After Windows W indows 7 Installation, install NIC driver only and applications then activate online. Remove HDD on your Master PC then move it to your second client PC, Windows 7 Activation will prompt again this time you need to run sysprep. The procedure to run sysprep is located bellow please follow the instructions. After Run sysprep sysprep install install CCBoot Client Client and upload upload the image to CCBoot Server Server.. To run sysprep for the first time please follow the instructions bellow. Click start and run "Command Prompt" as an Administrator Type to Command Prompt: %windir%\System32\Sysprep\Sysprep.exe, and hit Enter In sysprep dialog that opens, choose System Cleanup Action as Enter System Out-of-Box-Experience (OOBE), select Generalize, and select Shutdown Options Shutdown then Click OK (Figure 24.3-1)

































Sysprep generalizes now your Windows 7 setup and shuts down your computer. Do not run any other programs during this phase! (Figure 24.3-2)

Figure 24.3-2

Switch the main power of your PC off and install the new hardware. Boot the PC from sysprep generalized hard disk. You will notice Windows booting as if it was the first boot after installation, installing default drivers and updating registry. One or two reboots are needed, depending on your client specifications. When Windows finally boots boots up, you will need to enter all information information as if this really was a new, fresh installation and it’s because your old user profiles already exist, Windows does not accept your normal username, but instead you have to create a new temporary user. I use username Test for this purpose. Windows boots now to default OOBE first boot desktop, with default resolution and default theme. All your installed applications are there, as well as your old user profiles and folders. Windows has installed the default drivers for your setup, you can update them if needed.

































Security ID (SID) of your hardware setup is reseted All system restore restore points are are deleted All event logs logs are deleted All personalization personalization is removed removed (taskbar (taskbar,, toolbars, folder folder options, start start orb etc.) Built-in administrator administrator account is disabled (if it was enabled) and needs to be re-enabled if needed What happens when booting first time after sysprep generalizing? First boot configuration is run New SID is created Re-arm counter is reseted if not already re-armed three times Windows 7 is booted using first boot default drivers and settings
