Abstract
A deployment method and system in the OS deployment software are disclosed in which the deployment is possible to server units having various hardware configurations. In a computer system, a disk image of a deployer server unit is managed by a management server and a deployee server unit is connected to the management server through a network. The hardware configuration information of the deployer server unit and a hardware configuration tolerance list obtained from a driver information file in the disk image are held in the disk image. In response to a deployment instruction from the user, the management server compares the hardware configuration of the deployer server unit with that of the deployee server unit, and by detecting the difference therebetween, changes the deployment method in accordance with the detected difference.
