Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of server management technology, and in particular to a method, system, device and storage medium for configuring RAID. Background Technology

[0002] For server manufacturers and server management software, batch configuration of RAID (Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks) is an unavoidable requirement. Currently, there are two main methods for batch RAID configuration, depending on the network: one is in-band RAID configuration using the business network, and the other is out-of-band RAID configuration using the network.

[0003] However, both of these RAID configuration methods have significant drawbacks: in-band RAID configuration using the business network requires the business network itself, which is insecure, and the account passwords for the servers being configured are different, making the statistical work extremely complex. Using an out-of-band network, on the other hand, is highly dependent on the BMC's functionality; if the BMC does not support out-of-band RAID configuration, this solution is not feasible. Secondly, it faces equipment compatibility issues. Based on the existing solutions and their shortcomings, there is an urgent need to propose a new out-of-band network-based RAID configuration solution. This solution requires no additional network environment configuration, does not occupy the business network, relies solely on the existing management network, can achieve batch RAID configuration, and does not need to worry about equipment compatibility issues, supporting all advanced configuration functions within the out-of-band network. In conclusion, currently, there is a lack of an effective method for configuring RAID. Summary of the Invention

[0060] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0061] For server manufacturers and server management software, there are currently two main methods for batch RAID configuration, depending on the network. One is in-band RAID configuration using the business network. This method is simple to operate, efficient, and fast, making it a common configuration solution. However, its main drawback is the requirement to use the business network. Depending on whether the servers being tested have operating systems, there are two other methods: configuring directly using the existing system and configuring using a PXE-distributed LiveCD. Using the existing system requires knowing the username and password for each server to be configured. This is insecure, and since the usernames and passwords for each server are different, the statistical work becomes extremely complex and labor-intensive, resulting in low efficiency. Thirdly, if the operating systems of the servers being configured do not have RAID configuration tools, or if the systems are inconsistent (e.g., some use Ubuntu, some CentOS, and some Windows), it is necessary to distribute configuration tools for different systems, which is very troublesome.

[0062] Theoretically, using a network PXE (Preboot Execute Environment) distribution method can solve the above three problems, and this configuration method is quite common in practice. However, it still cannot solve the problem of having to use the business network. At the same time, introducing a PXE server requires integrating a host of services such as DNS (Domain Name Server), DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol), and HTTP. Not to mention the complexity of the environment configuration, introducing DHCP service into the existing network may conflict with the DHCP in the customer's existing business network, causing network chaos, which users are resistant to. Some data-sensitive customers also have security concerns about the configuration tool directly accessing the business network. Therefore, the in-band RAID configuration solution, although more efficient and faster, has the disadvantages of insecurity, high threshold, and the need to set up additional network services, and is not suitable for use in existing network environments.

[0063] The second method for configuring RAID utilizes out-of-band networks and leverages the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) interface. This method is simple, easy to use, and the most widely adopted, making it a common out-of-band RAID configuration approach. However, this solution has drawbacks. First, it is highly dependent on the BMC's functionality; if the BMC does not support out-of-band RAID configuration, this method is not feasible. Second, it faces device compatibility issues; different device models have different BMC support for RAID configuration, resulting in different interfaces, making device compatibility a complex matter. Third, the BMC's RAID configuration capabilities are limited; some advanced configurations, such as boot disks, partial hot spares, and global hot spares, are not supported by the BMC, which also limits the ability to configure RAID in batches. Therefore, while this out-of-band configuration method solves the business network problem, it still has significant shortcomings and needs improvement.

[0064] This application provides a method, system, device, and storage medium for configuring RAID to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0065] The technical solutions proposed in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0066] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for configuring RAID as provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the method mainly includes the following steps:

[0067] Step 101: Set the NFS mount path for the server to be configured.

[0068] In this embodiment of the application, before performing batch configuration of server RAID, a network environment must first be deployed to connect the platform to the out-of-band network of the server to be configured.

[0069] The server to be configured is then scanned into the main program and permanently stored for later use.

[0070] In this embodiment of the application, after scanning the servers to be configured into the main program and storing them, the Board Extra field of the FRU of all servers to be configured is read. If data exists, the data is read and set to empty.

[0071] The collected RAID information is compressed and written to the Board Extra field of the FRU in multiple parts, with 60 characters written each time.

[0072] In this embodiment of the application, for all servers to be configured, the main program divides them into batches of 50 per executor and sets the NFS mount path of the servers to be configured to the divided executor path and address.

[0073] Step 102: Based on the mount path, guide the server to be configured to boot from the mounted liveCD.

[0074] In this embodiment, the system will handle the data collection work of the 50 distributed servers, restart the servers uniformly, set CD-ROM boot, and guide the servers to be configured to boot from the mounted liveCD.

[0075] Step 103: Collect the RAID information of the server to be configured.

[0076] In this embodiment, user configuration requirement information is collected. Then, based on the configuration requirement information, a configuration template is generated and stored in JSON encoded form; wherein, the configuration template contains an identifier ID.

[0077] Specifically, users perform graphical RAID configuration based on the configuration model, such as forming a RAID5 array with several hard drives and equipping a local hot spare disk. The main program collects the user's configuration requirements, generates a configuration template, and stores it in the database as a JSON string. The template will contain the identifier ID of the configuration model.

[0078] In this embodiment, based on the identifier ID in the configuration template, the server to be configured with the applicable identifier ID is determined, thereby completing the server selection.

[0079] Specifically, after the liveCD boots from the server to be configured, it uses built-in tools to collect RAID information and assemble it into JSON format. In a typical format: id: 9088874512305412, c: 100, u: G, s: UG.

[0080] The `id` string is a compressed number containing four sub-IDs, representing basic information such as manufacturer and model, uniquely identifying the RAID card type and manufacturer. `b` stands for "board," indicating the backplane; a RAID controller contains multiple backplanes. `d` represents the physical hard drives under the backplane, `c` represents the capacity, `u` is the capacity unit, and `s` indicates the physical disk status. This string describes the RAID information of the device under test.

[0081] Step 104: Process the RAID information to obtain a plaintext RAID configuration file and report it. Based on the plaintext RAID configuration file, obtain a configuration script image.

[0082] In this embodiment, the RAID information is first parsed to obtain the original string. Then, the original string is Base64 encoded n times to obtain an encrypted string ending with 'n', where 'n' is a random number between 1 and 9. Next, the encrypted string is decrypted n times to obtain the plaintext RAID configuration file.

[0083] For example, after compressing the data in the aforementioned process and writing it to the Board Extra field of FRU in multiple parts, with each part containing 60 characters, the data format can be agreed upon using the following method.

[0084]

[0085] Considering that the data may be too long to write at once, the total number of batches can be marked at the beginning of the string. For example, if it is written in 3 batches, this is the first batch, and the following 2-59 bits are the specific encrypted data. Since the main program will clear the entire Extra area after each read, when the liveCD finds that this position is empty, it can continue to write other batches until the last batch.

[0086] It should be noted that, since the Extra field is best limited to 60 characters due to space constraints, and because the encrypted string written to the liveCD needs to be restored on the main program, a reversible encryption algorithm was used. The specific steps are as follows:

[0087] Assume the original data is:

[0088] [{"id":9088876512305412,"b":[{"d":[{"c":"100","u":"G","s":"ON"},{"c":"300","u":"G","s":"UG"}]}]}], take a random number between 1 and 9, for example, 3, and perform Base64 encryption three times on the original string. The encrypted data is:

[0089] W3siaWQiOjkwODg4NzY1MTIzMDU0MTIsIsInMiOiJPTiJ9LHsiYyI6IjMwMCIsInUiOiJHIiwicyI6IlVHIn1dfV19XSA=.

[0090] Add the 3 to the end of the string to generate the final string.

[0091] W3siaWQiOjkwODg4NzY1MTIzMDU0MTIsIsInMiOiJPTiJ9LHsiYyI6IjMwMCIsInUiOiJHIiwicyI6IlVHIn1dfV19XSA=3.

[0092] After the executor obtains the complete encrypted string, it decrypts it three times based on the last digit's encryption count of 3, finally obtaining the plaintext RAID configuration information and reporting it to the main program.

[0093] Step 105: Mount the configuration script image to the server to be configured. After Extra is ready, copy the configuration script, grant permissions to run it, and execute the RAID configuration.

[0094] In this embodiment, the device to be tested is selected according to the configuration template. Since the configuration template contains a model identifier ID and the device also contains an identifier ID, it is possible to quickly filter out which devices are suitable for this template. After the device is selected, the main program will generate a configuration script based on the configuration information of the configuration template, and then package the configuration script into an ISO image file. The executor will then mount the ISO image file on the configuration server and write ready information in the Extra field. The liveCD client will continuously poll the Extra field. Once it finds that the data ISO is ready, it will start mounting the data ISO, copy the script, grant permissions to run it, and execute the command to configure RAID.

[0095] In this embodiment of the application, during the configuration process, all log information of the RAID configuration process is generated in real time and written to Extra. Then, the fields in the log information are monitored and reported. After the RAID configuration is completed, the liveCD writes the configuration result to Extra.

[0096] It should be noted that after the main program collects all configuration results, it summarizes and organizes them, counts the number of successes and failures, and displays them to the user. To avoid errors that could cause the program to freeze, the default startup time for the liveCD is 20 minutes. If no configuration command is received within 20 minutes, the configuration is considered to have failed.

[0097] This application provides a method for configuring RAID, which achieves precise RAID configuration within the out-of-band network by connecting a system to a server's out-of-band management network. It can distribute tasks across multiple executors based on the number of servers to be configured and collect the results obtained from task execution. It can also filter devices based on a configuration model, improving the scientific rationality of RAID configuration. This application employs a reversible encryption algorithm to encrypt and decrypt the data to be exchanged, and can also collect RAID configuration information through corresponding fields, and read configuration logs and results. Furthermore, it can obtain logs generated during the configuration process and the final configuration results in real time, preventing situations where control is lost after mounting a mirror. The configuration process is controllable and interactive, resulting in a better user experience.

[0098] The above is a method for configuring RAID provided by an embodiment of this application. Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of this application also provides a system for configuring RAID, such as... Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This application provides a system architecture diagram for configuring RAID, in which... Figure 2 The system includes:

[0099] The path setting module 201 is used to set the NFS mount path of the server to be configured.

[0100] The startup module 202 is used to guide the server to be configured to boot from the mounted liveCD based on the mount path;

[0101] RAID information acquisition module 203 is used to acquire RAID information of the server to be configured;

[0102] The decryption module 204 is used to process the RAID information, obtain and report the plaintext RAID configuration file, and obtain a configuration script image based on the plaintext RAID configuration file.

[0103] The configuration execution module 205 is used to mount the configuration script image to the server to be configured. After the extra is ready, it copies the configuration script, grants permissions to run it, and executes the RAID configuration.

[0104] In this embodiment, the RAID information acquisition module 203 specifically collects the user's configuration requirement information. Then, based on the configuration requirement information, a configuration template is generated and stored in JSON encoded form; wherein the configuration template contains an identifier ID. Specifically, the user performs graphical RAID configuration according to the configuration model, such as several hard drives forming a RAID5 array, and simultaneously equipping a local hot spare disk, etc. The main program collects the user's configuration requirements, generates a configuration template, and stores it in the database as a JSON string, with the template containing the identifier ID of the configuration model. In this embodiment, based on the identifier ID in the configuration template, the server to be configured with the applicable identifier ID is determined, thereby completing the server selection. Specifically, after the liveCD boots from the server to be configured, it uses built-in tools to collect RAID information and assembles it into JSON format. In a typical format: id: 9088874512305412, c: 100, u: G, s: UG. The `id` string is a compressed number containing four sub-IDs, representing basic information such as manufacturer and model, uniquely identifying the RAID card type and manufacturer. `b` stands for "board," indicating the backplane; a RAID controller contains multiple backplanes. `d` represents the physical hard drives under the backplane, `c` represents the capacity, `u` is the capacity unit, and `s` indicates the physical disk status. This string describes the RAID information of the device under test.

[0105] In this embodiment, the decryption module 204 first parses the RAID information to obtain the original string. Then, it performs Base64 encryption n times on the original string to obtain an encrypted string ending with n, where n is a random number between 1 and 9. Next, it decrypts the encrypted string n times to obtain the plaintext RAID configuration file.

[0106] This application provides a RAID configuration system that connects to a server's out-of-band management network, enabling precise RAID configuration within the out-of-band network. It can distribute tasks across multiple executors based on the number of servers to be configured and collect the results from each executor's task execution. It can also filter devices based on a configuration model, improving the scientific rationality of RAID configuration. This application employs a reversible encryption algorithm to encrypt and decrypt the data to be exchanged, and can also collect RAID configuration information through relevant fields, as well as read configuration logs and results. Furthermore, it can obtain logs generated during the configuration process and the final configuration results in real time, preventing situations where control is lost after mirroring is installed. The configuration process is controllable and interactive, resulting in a better user experience.

[0107] The above describes a system for configuring RAID according to an embodiment of this application. Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a device for configuring RAID. Figure 3 This application provides a schematic diagram of a device configured with RAID, as shown in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, the device mainly includes: at least one processor 301; and a memory 302 communicatively connected to at least one processor; wherein, the memory 302 stores instructions that can be executed by at least one processor 301, and the instructions are executed by at least one processor 301 to enable at least one processor 301 to complete: setting the NFS mount path of the server to be configured;

[0108] Based on the mount path, the server to be configured is guided to boot from the mounted liveCD;

[0109] Collect the RAID information of the server to be configured;

[0110] The RAID information is processed to obtain a plaintext RAID configuration file, which is then reported.

[0111] Based on the plaintext RAID configuration file, a configuration script image is obtained;

[0112] Mount the configuration script image to the server to be configured. After Extra is ready, copy the configuration script, grant permissions to run it, and execute the RAID configuration.

[0113] In addition, embodiments of this application also provide a non-volatile computer storage medium configured with RAID, storing computer-executable instructions, wherein the computer-executable instructions are configured as follows:

[0114] Set the NFS mount path for the server to be configured;

[0115] Based on the mount path, the server to be configured is guided to boot from the mounted liveCD;

[0118] Based on the plaintext RAID configuration file, a configuration script image is obtained;

[0119] Mount the configuration script image to the server to be configured. After Extra is ready, copy the configuration script, grant permissions to run it, and execute the RAID configuration.

[0120] The solution proposed in this application allows for RAID configuration using existing out-of-band management networks without the need for a dedicated service network. This approach offers lower network costs, faster setup, simpler configuration, and greater operational security. Using this invention eliminates limitations related to whether the BMC has a RAID configuration interface, and removes concerns about complex factors such as device model, manufacturer, BMC version, and RAID card manufacturer and version. Even if the BMC does not support an out-of-band configuration interface, the out-of-band RAID configuration described in this invention remains effective, resulting in broader applicability. Furthermore, the solution provides real-time access to logs generated during the configuration process and the final configuration results, preventing situations where users are unaware of the configuration process after mounting the image and lack control over the system. The configuration process is controllable, interactive, and offers a superior user experience.
