ABSTRACT:
A method and system for caching and moving the required real-time, processing unit specific data (including boot image selection) among isolated servers in a pre-boot environment is disclosed. A system and method in accordance with the present invention provides a network/server topology that includes a common control server, and a plurality of isolated process servers. A system and method in accordance with the present invention provides the capability of being able to reference the real-time processing unit specific data based on either the unique processing unit identifier (MTSN directory name) or based on the MAC address (in conjunction with the content of a MAC binding file).
