[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a bare metal hyper-converged platform installation method based on ISO image, and the method may include the following steps:

[0054] S110. On the server where the bare metal hyper-converged platform is to be installed, download the ISO image file of the bare metal hyper-converged platform.

[0055] Bare metal server is a special type of server that combines the advantages of traditional physical servers and cloud computing technology. Bare metal server is a hardware device with the characteristics of traditional physical servers, and also has the virtualization service function of cloud computing technology. It is the product of the combination of hardware and software advantages. Its essence is a server that combines cloud computing service functions and physical device performance. It provides excellent computing performance and data security for core databases, key application systems, high-performance computing, big data and other businesses, allowing cloud service users to flexibly apply and use on demand.

[0056] Bare metal servers have many advantages. They have high computing performance, exclusive high-specification physical hardware resources, and no virtualization performance loss. In terms of delivery, they can achieve minute-level delivery. For example, in some cases, elastic bare metal servers must be able to deliver quickly at the minute level to cope with the instantaneous surge in business traffic. In terms of user experience, VNC, web console, openAPI, etc. that are consistent with virtual machines can greatly reduce the user's learning cost. In terms of security, physical isolation at the hardware level and complete isolation of resources between different users reduce potential security risks. In terms of operation and maintenance, it supports manual automated operation and maintenance, effectively improving operation and maintenance efficiency.

[0057] ISO image file is a disc image file format. It can copy all the data on the disc, including the file system, files and directories, into one file. ISO image file plays an important role in the computer field. It has convenient migration and backup functions, can protect and maintain the integrity of the disc content, and can be used as a virtual CD-ROM drive.

[0058] The embodiment of the present invention is provided as a bootable device image, which can be directly installed on a bare metal server using an ISO image, or can be automatically installed using an iPXE script.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present invention, the ISO image file is produced by the following steps:

[0060] Obtain software and configuration files required for the bare metal fusion platform;

[0061] The software and configuration files are integrated into the ISO image using an ISO production tool to obtain the ISO image file.

[0062] Collect the software and configuration files required for the bare metal hyper-converged platform, including hyper-converged software, operating system, drivers, etc. Then, use the ISO production tool to integrate these files and configurations into the ISO image.

[0063] S120: Load the ISO image file into the virtual CD-ROM drive on the server.

[0064] On the server where you want to install the bare metal hyper-converged platform, download the ISO image file of the hyper-converged platform and ensure the integrity and correctness of the image file.

[0065] Use the virtual image loading tool on the server to load the ISO image file into the virtual CD-ROM drive on the server.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present invention, the following steps are also included:

[0067] Prepare at least one bare metal server as a node of the bare metal hyper-converged platform;

[0068] A management server is provided to deploy and manage the bare metal hyper-converged platform.

[0069] First, you need to prepare one or more bare metal servers, which will serve as nodes of the hyper-converged platform. In addition, you also need to prepare a management server for deploying and managing the hyper-converged platform.

[0070] For development purposes, you can install hyperconverged application components on an existing Kubernetes cluster. The nodes must be able to support KVM through hardware virtualization (Intel VT-x or AMD-V) or nested virtualization.

[0071] S130: Install the bare metal hyper-converged platform on the server based on the loaded ISO image file, and configure the bare metal hyper-converged platform based on at least one running configuration.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present invention, installing the bare metal hyper-converged platform on the server based on the loaded ISO image file includes:

[0073] Determine the installation type and disk partition of the bare metal hyper-converged platform;

[0074] Choose one of the following installation modes:

[0075] Create a hyper-converged cluster;

[0076] Join an existing hyper-converged cluster;

[0077] Choose to create a cluster or join an existing hyperconverged cluster each time you launch it.

[0078] Start the installation program on the server and enter the installation interface of the hyper-converged platform. You can choose to create a new hyper-converged cluster or add nodes to an existing hyper-converged cluster.

[0079] Specifically, follow the instructions on the installation interface to select the installation type, disk partition, etc. to install. During the installation process, you can choose automatic configuration or manual configuration according to your actual needs. Use the arrow keys to select the installation mode. By default, the first node will be the management node of the cluster.

[0080] (1) Create a new HCI cluster: Select this option to create a new hyper-converged cluster.

[0081] (2)Join an existing HCI cluster: Select this option to join an existing hyper-converged cluster. You need the VIP and cluster token of the cluster you want to join.

[0082] (2)Install HCI binaries only: If you select this option, additional setup is required after the first boot.

[0083] In the embodiment of the present invention, the operation configuration includes: one or more of disk configuration, network configuration, virtual VIP configuration, token configuration, account password setting and clock configuration;

[0084] Accordingly, configuring the bare metal hyper-converged platform based on at least one running configuration includes one or more of the following steps:

[0085] Select the installation disk where you want to install the hyperconverged cluster and the data disk where you want to store VM data;

[0086] Configure network interfaces for the management network;

[0087] Configure a virtual VIP for accessing the cluster or for other nodes to join the cluster;

[0088] Configure the cluster token used to add additional nodes to the cluster;

[0089] Configure and confirm the password for accessing the node;

[0090] Configure the NTP server used for time synchronization of all nodes.

[0091] After the installation is complete, configure and optimize according to actual needs. You can set network parameters, storage policies, resource allocation, etc. to meet the needs of different businesses.

[0092] (1) Disk configuration:

[0093] Select the installation disk where you want to install the hyperconverged cluster and the data disk where you want to store VM data. By default, the hyperconverged cluster uses the GUID Partition Table (GPT) partitioning scheme for both UEFI and BIOS. If you use BIOS boot, you can select the Master Boot Record (MBR).

[0094] Installation disk: the disk used to install the hyper-converged cluster.

[0095] Data disk: The disk used to store virtual machine data. It is recommended to select a separate disk to store virtual machine data.

[0096] Persistent size: If you have only one disk, or use the same disk for both the operating system and virtual machine data, you need to configure the persistent partition size to store system packages and container images. The default minimum persistent partition size is 150GiB. You can specify a size like 200Gi or 153600Mi.

[0097] A high-availability block storage system powered by Longhorn is embedded. Longhorn is a lightweight, reliable, and easy-to-use Kubernetes distributed block storage system that will use the space on the nodes to provide high-availability storage for VMs within the cluster.

[0098] (2) Network configuration:

[0099] Configure the network interface for the management network. By default, a bonded NIC named mgmt-bo will be created, and the IP address can be configured via DHCP or assigned statically.

[0100] If you need to use an HTTP proxy to access the outside world, you can configure the proxy URL address.

[0101] (3)Configure VIP:

[0102] Configure a virtual IP (VIP) by selecting the VIP mode. This VIP is used to access the cluster or for other nodes to join the cluster. Supports the use of virtual IPs and multiple network interface cards (NICs). Leverage multus and bridge CNI plugins to implement L2 bridged VLAN networks. This helps connect virtual machines to host network interfaces and can be accessed from internal and external networks using physical switches.

[0103] (4) Token configuration:

[0104] Configure the cluster token, which will be used to add additional nodes to the cluster.

[0105] (5) Set account password:

[0106] Configure and confirm the password to access the node. The default SSH user is root. With the support of KubeVirt, the present invention supports VM creation / deletion / update operations, as well as injection of SSH keys and cloud-init. The present invention adopts static key injection, that is, the key is placed in the cloud-init script when the virtual machine is powered on for the first time.

[0107] (6) Clock configuration:

[0108] Configure NTP servers to ensure time synchronization of all nodes. Default value is 0.suse.pool.ntp.org. Use comma as separator to add more ntp servers.

[0109] In an embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes:

[0110] After the hyper-converged cluster is powered on, collect one or more of the cluster operation logs, Kubernetes audit logs, and event logs;

[0111] Operation monitoring, operation recording, auditing and fault detection are performed based on the cluster operation log, Kubernetes audit and event log.

[0112] Collect cluster operation logs, kubernetes audit and event logs immediately after the cluster is powered on, which helps monitoring, recording, auditing and troubleshooting. The size of the log data is related to factors such as cluster size and workload. The present invention does not use persistent storage to store log data in the cluster. Users need to set up a log server to receive the corresponding logs. Log server types support Graylog, Elasticsearch, Splunk, Grafana Loki, etc.

[0113] After you review and confirm the installation options, the hyperconverged cluster will be installed on the bare metal server. The installation may take several minutes to complete.

[0114] After the installation is complete, the node needs to be restarted. After the restart, when you log in for the first time, you will be prompted to set a password for the default administrator user.

[0115] During the implementation process, problems that may be encountered include failure to create the ISO image, exceptions during the installation process, etc. For these problems, the following measures can be taken: ensure that the collected software and configuration files are complete and compatible, check for errors when creating the ISO image, and record detailed logs during the installation process to facilitate troubleshooting.

[0116] Compared with traditional deployment and configuration methods, the method of installing a bare metal hyper-converged platform based on an ISO image proposed in this patent has the following advantages:

[0117] Simple and fast: One-click installation through ISO image file avoids tedious manual configuration process and improves deployment efficiency.

[0118] Flexibility: You can choose automatic configuration or manual configuration according to actual needs to meet the needs of different businesses.

[0119] Improve resource utilization: Deploying a hyper-converged platform on a bare metal server can fully utilize server resources and improve resource utilization.

[0120] Reduce maintenance costs: By setting up management tools, it is convenient to maintain and upgrade the hyper-converged platform in the future.
