Bare computer automatic discovery and deployment method based on ironic

Abstract

The invention provides a bare computer automatic discovery and deployment method based on ironic, and relates to the technical field of cloud computing. According to the invention, by expanding the interface of the Openstack Ironic, the dynamic configuration of the IPMI address and the network in the standalone mode is realized; the dynamic configuration of the bare IP is further realized; and different forms of network starting modes such as legacy and uefi are supported. Controllable deployment of bare computers is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to cloud computing technology, in particular to an ironic-based bare metal automatic discovery and deployment method. Background technique [0002] As the scale of data centers continues to increase, it becomes more and more difficult to manually deploy and manage servers. Data centers need a controllable and automated deployment method to support rapid deployment and management. Openstack Ironic provides a bare-metal management solution that automates deployment. However, there are several problems in the existing mode. 1) There is a strong coupling relationship with other components, the deployment is complex and there are many components, and it takes up space. 2) The native standalone mode has network restrictions. 3) Sometimes the server does not configure IPMI information when it comes out. , but need to manually configure IPMI, error-prone, and relatively low efficiency 4) There is no native network support, administrators...

Problems solved by technology

However, there are several problems in the existing mode. 1) There is a strong coupling relationship with other components, the deployment is complex and there are many components, and it takes up space. 2) The native standalone mode has network restrictions. 3) Sometimes the server does not configure IPMI information when it comes out. , but need to manually configure IPMI, error-prone, and relatively low efficiency 4) No native network support is provided, administrators can only manage IP by manually deploying a dhcp server, and configure when there are many IPs and modification would be complex and error-prone

[0003] Ironic is a component used for bare-metal deployment and management in the Openstack project, but its deployment depends on the configuration of the server's ipmi address, user name, and password in advance. At the same time, since it does not provide network functions, it needs to use third-party plug-ins , such as neutron to configure the network, so in the independent (standalone) deployment mode, there is a lack of native configuration capabilities for key information such as IP addresses, and for data centers, the IP addresses that serve them are generally precisely planned, which is This results in the need to manually correct the IP address after deployment, and the work of configuring the IP address is not only time-consuming and error-prone, but may also cause terminal problems caused by address conflicts, so an automated method is needed to control it. Reduce manual configuration mitigations and improve deployment efficiency
