Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, device and storage medium for creating a smart network card system image. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, software-defined data centers are a hot technology. VMware, as the world's largest virtualization vendor, has achieved the virtualization of software-defined applications and all the resources they require, such as servers, storage, networking, and security functions, and then combined all elements to create a software-defined data center, thus transcending physical subnet boundaries.

[0003] However, while there are no hardware bottlenecks in network performance between virtual machines on the same physical node on virtualization platforms, achieving ideal network performance across different physical nodes remains a significant challenge. Currently, the mainstream solution for accelerating network virtualization in virtualized networks is to use OpenvSwitch (OVS, a virtual switching software). This involves offloading OVS flow tables to hardware using smart network interface cards (NICs), allowing traffic to be forwarded and handled directly by the hardware when communicating between physical nodes. However, the internal systems of smart NICs often require installation using BFB (Browser over Flow) image files. Currently, most smart NIC manufacturers only provide pre-made BFB images and do not offer automated image creation. Therefore, automating the creation of smart NIC system image files is a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to provide a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for creating a smart network interface card (NIC) system image, which can completely eliminate the cumbersome process of reinstalling and repackaging the NIC system, optimize the relevant functions of the smart NIC system, greatly reduce the workload of development and testing personnel, save human resources, and effectively reduce R&D costs.

[0047] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0048] This application discloses a method for creating a smart network interface card (NIC) system image, applied to a physical server with a smart NIC installed. See also... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0049] Step S11: Obtain the image file related to the smart network card from the physical server to obtain the initial image file, and install the initial image file into the smart network card system.

[0050] It should be noted that this embodiment is applied to physical servers with smart network cards pre-installed. The smart network card includes, but is not limited to, network cards that have an operating system, have a DPU (Distributed Processing Unit), and are capable of secondary development on the network card system (such as the CentOS system with Arm (Advanced RISC Machine) architecture) to meet some network or storage-related offloading functions.

[0051] In this embodiment, after determining the physical server, an initial image file is obtained from the physical server by retrieving the image file related to the smart network card. Then, the obtained initial image file is installed into the system of the smart network card. The initial image file is an officially prepared image file provided by the manufacturer of the smart network card. Specifically, the physical server can be a Linux server that supports the smart network card.

[0052] It should be noted that before obtaining the image file related to the smart network card from the physical server, the process specifically includes: checking whether the initial image file related to the smart network card and the target software package to be installed exist in the local storage hardware device information directory; checking whether the information related to the smart network card is recorded in the preset directory; checking whether the smart network card system and the physical server system have established a normal connection; if the initial image file related to the smart network card and the target software package to be installed exist in the storage hardware device information directory, the information related to the smart network card is recorded in the preset directory, and the smart network card system and the physical server system have established a normal connection, then the step of obtaining the image file related to the smart network card from the physical server is executed. For example, before retrieving the image file related to the smart network card from the physical server, check whether the image file related to the smart network card and the target package to be installed (such as an rpm package) exist in the / home / directory, whether the default / dev / rshim0 directory contains information related to the smart network card, and whether a normal communication connection has been established between the physical server system and the smart network card system. If all three conditions are met, it indicates that a reliable connection has been established between the physical server system and the smart network card system, and that the image file related to the smart network card is currently stored in the physical server.

[0053] Step S12: Obtain the software package to be installed from the physical server, obtain the target software package, and install the target software package into the smart network card system.

[0054] In this embodiment, after the initial image file is installed into the smart network card system, the software package to be installed (such as an RPM package) is further obtained from the physical server to obtain the target software package. Then, the target software package is installed into the smart network card system. The number of target software packages can be one or more, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0055] It should be noted that installing the target software package into the smart network interface card (NIC) system may specifically include: copying the target software package to the smart NIC system and checking whether the target software package is compatible with the smart NIC system; if the target software package is compatible with the smart NIC system, then installing the target software package into the smart NIC system. That is, after copying the target software package to the smart NIC system, the compatibility between the target software package and the smart NIC system is first checked. If the target software package is compatible with the smart NIC system, then the corresponding installation operation is performed, that is, the target software package is installed into the smart NIC system.

[0056] Step S13: Obtain the current image file including the target software package and the initial image file from the smart network card, and package the current image file using the smart network card to obtain a packaged data file package.

[0057] In this embodiment, after the target software package is installed into the smart network card system, the current image file can be further obtained from the smart network card, and then the current image file can be packaged by the smart network card to obtain a packaged data file package; wherein, the current image file includes the target software package and the initial image file.

[0058] Step S14: Decompress the initial image file to obtain the target file system image, and replace the data file package in the target file system image with the packaged data file package to obtain the replaced file system image.

[0059] In this embodiment, after the current image file is packaged by the smart network card to obtain a packaged data file package, the initial image file is decompressed to obtain a decompressed target file system image. Then, the packaged data file package replaces the data file package in the target file system image, that is, the latest custom data file package replaces the data file package in the officially made image file, thereby obtaining the replaced file system image.

[0060] Step S15: Package the replaced file system image to obtain the target image file.

[0061] In this embodiment, after replacing the data file package in the target file system image with the packaged data file package to obtain the replaced file system image, the replaced file system image is further packaged to obtain the packaged target image file.

[0062] As can be seen, this embodiment of the application is applied to a physical server with a smart network interface card (NIC) installed. First, an initial image file is obtained from the physical server, containing an image file related to the smart NIC. This initial image file is then installed into the smart NIC system. Next, a target software package is obtained from the physical server and installed into the smart NIC system. Then, a current image file, including the target software package and the initial image file, is obtained from the smart NIC. This current image file is then packaged using the smart NIC to obtain a packaged data file package. The initial image file is then decompressed to obtain a target file system image. The packaged data file package replaces the data file package in the target file system image to obtain a replaced file system image. Finally, the replaced file system image is packaged to obtain the target image file. This embodiment of the application completely eliminates the cumbersome process of reinstalling and packaging the NIC system, optimizes the relevant functions of the smart NIC system, greatly reduces the workload of development and testing personnel, saves human resources, and effectively reduces R&D costs.

[0063] This application discloses a specific method for creating a smart network interface card (NIC) system image, applied to a physical server with a smart NIC installed. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0064] Step S21: Obtain the bfb type image file related to the smart network card from the physical server to obtain the initial image file, and install the initial image file into the smart network card system through the rshim port.

[0065] In this embodiment, a BFB-type image file related to the smart network interface card (NIC) is first obtained from the physical server to obtain the official initial image file provided by the NIC manufacturer. Then, this initial image file is installed into the smart NIC system via the RSM port. For example, the following command is executed to install the initial image file:

[0066] cat CentOSxxx.bfb> / dev / rshimX / boot.

[0067] Step S22: Obtain the rpm package to be installed from the physical server to obtain the target software package, copy the target software package to the smart network card system, and then check whether the target software package is compatible with the smart network card system.

[0068] In this embodiment, the initial image file is installed into the smart network card system through the rshim port. After the smart network card is powered on, the required software packages can be installed according to specific application requirements. For example, the target software package can be obtained by obtaining the rpm package to be installed from the physical server. Then, the target software package is copied to the smart network card system, and then the compatibility between the target software package and the smart network card system is checked.

[0069] Step S23: If the target software package is compatible with the smart network card system, then install the target software package into the smart network card system.

[0070] In this embodiment, if the target software package is compatible with the smart network card system, the target software package can be further installed into the smart network card system, such as installing a bfb type image file in the current / home directory into the smart network card system.

[0071] Step S24: Obtain the current image file including the target software package and the initial image file from the smart network card, and remove unnecessary files from the current image file through the smart network card to obtain the removed image file. Then, package the removed image file to obtain the packaged data file package.

[0072] In this embodiment, after the target software package is installed into the smart network interface card (NIC) system, a current image file including the target software package and the initial image file can be obtained from the smart NIC. Then, unnecessary files are removed from the current image file using the smart NIC to obtain a removed image file. Next, the removed image file is packaged to obtain a packaged data file package. In one specific implementation, the following instructions are executed to remove unnecessary files from the current image file:

[0073]

[0074]

[0075] At this point, the image.tar.xz file of the current image is located in the / tmp / directory, and files that are not intended to be included in the tar archive are excluded using the --exclude option.

[0076] Step S25: Decompress the initial image file to obtain the target file system image, and replace the data file package in the target file system image with the packaged data file package to obtain the replaced file system image.

[0077] In this embodiment, after packaging the removed image file into a packaged data file package, the initial image file is decompressed on the physical server hosting the smart network card to obtain a decompressed target file system image. Then, the packaged data file package replaces the data file package in the target file system image to obtain a corresponding replaced file system image. For example, the following command is executed to decompress the CentOSxxx.bfb image file in the / tmp / directory of the current physical server:

[0078] mlx-mkbfb-x.. / CentOSxxx.bfb;

[0079] Then execute the following command to decompress the extracted file system image dump-initramfs-v0 again:

[0080] mkdir rootfs;

[0081] cd rootfs;

[0082] gunzip-c.. / dump-initramfs-v0|cpio-idm.

[0083] Next, go to . / centos and replace the image.tar.xz file in the / tmp / directory of the current physical server with the image.tar.xz file generated above;

[0084] Then execute the following commands to regenerate the file system image:

[0085] find.|cpio-oc|xz--threads=0 -9--verbose--check=crc32

[0086] --lzma2=dict=32MiB>.. / updated-initramfs.

[0087] Step S26: Package the replaced file system image to obtain the target image file.

[0088] In this embodiment, after replacing the data file package in the target file system image with the packaged data file package to obtain the replaced file system image, the replaced file system image can be repackaged to generate a bfb package using the following command:

[0089] cd..

[0090] mlx-mkbfb --initramfs updated-initramfs1 CentOSxxx.bfb updated-install.bfb.

[0091] In one specific implementation, see Figure 3 As shown, the updated image file is first packaged using the smart network card to obtain a new image file. Then, the bfb image file in the / home directory of the physical server is decompressed. Next, the new image file packaged by the smart network card replaces the bfb image file decompressed by the physical server. Finally, the replaced bfb image file is repackaged and saved to the physical server.

[0092] As can be seen, this embodiment of the application is applied to a physical server with a smart network interface card (NIC) installed. First, an initial image file of type BFB related to the smart NIC is obtained from the physical server. The initial image file is then installed into the smart NIC system via the RSM port. Next, the target software package is obtained from the physical server and copied to the smart NIC system. The compatibility between the target software package and the smart NIC system is then checked. If they are compatible, the target software package is installed into the smart NIC system. Then, a current image file including the target software package and the initial image file is obtained from the smart NIC. Unnecessary files are removed from the current image file using the smart NIC. The removed image file is then packaged to obtain a packaged data file package. Next, the initial image file is decompressed to obtain a target file system image. The packaged data file package replaces the data file package in the target file system image to obtain a replaced file system image. Finally, the replaced file system image is packaged. This application embodiment allows for highly customized image files based on specific application requirements, eliminating the strong dependence on original BFB type image files. Only an RPM package and an existing BFB type image file are needed to complete the update. Furthermore, it can automatically detect whether the RPM package is compatible with the smart network card system, thereby completely eliminating the tedious process of reinstalling or repackaging the network card system for smart network card developers and testers, optimizing the relevant functions of the smart network card system, and effectively reducing R&D costs.

[0093] Accordingly, this application also discloses a smart network interface card (NIC) system image creation device, applied to a physical server with a smart NIC installed. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 4 As shown, the device includes:
