The system suitable for a baseboard management controller (BMC) comprises: transmitting a enable remote media and setting an automatic configuration file to a BMC; mounting a share folder from a first server to the BMC; uploading an ISO file from the BMC to the first server, and mounting the ISO file into the share folder; copying the auto installation configuration file to the share folder, and repacking the auto installation configuration file into the ISO file to generate a repacked ISO file; and transmitting the repacked ISO file to the first server.

Claims (19)

1. An automatic installation method, suitable for a baseboard management controller (BMC), comprising:

from an input interface, transmitting an enable remote media through a first connection to a switch and setting an automatic configuration file to a BMC, wherein the input interface is a website user interface (UI) or an intelligent platform management interface (IPMI);

mounting a share folder from a first server through a second connection to the switch to the BMC;

uploading an ISO file from the BMC to the first server, and mounting the ISO file into the share folder;

copying the auto installation configuration file to the share folder, and repacking the auto installation configuration file into the ISO file to generate a repacked ISO file; and

transmitting the repacked ISO file to the first server,

wherein the first server is a network file system (NFS) server.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting a boot host command from the enable remote media.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

logining into the BMC from the input interface.

4. An automatic installation system, suitable for a baseboard management controller (BMC), comprising:

an input interface, transmitting an enable remote media through a first connection to a switch and setting an auto installation configuration file, wherein the input interface is a website user interface (UI) or an intelligent platform management interface (IPMI);

a BMC, receiving the enable remote media and the automatic installation configuration file; and

a first server, mounting a share folder through a second connection to the switch to the BMC, wherein the first server is a network file system (NFS) server;

wherein the BMC upload an ISO file to the first server when the first server mounts the share folder to the BMC, and the BMC copies the auto installation configuration file to the share folder, and repacked the auto installation file into the ISO file to generate a repacked ISO file, and the repacked ISO file is transmitted to the first server.

5. The system according to claim 4 , further comprising:

a second server, receiving a boot host command from the enable remote media.

6. The system according to claim 4 , wherein the BMC is logined from the input interface.
