[0069] Bare metal, also known as bare metal server, is a hardware device that has both the characteristics of a traditional physical server and the virtualization service function of cloud computing technology. It is a combination of hardware and software advantages. Its essence is a server that has both cloud computing service functions and physical device performance. Bare metal servers can usually seamlessly connect to and be compatible with other cloud services provided by cloud vendors, such as network services (such as vpc private networks), cloud database services, etc.

[0070] Elastic Bare Metal is a new computing product that combines the elasticity of virtual machines with the performance and features of physical machines.

[0071] In order to solve the problems of the prior art, the embodiments of the present application provide a method, device, equipment, storage medium and program product for creating elastic bare metal based on a smart network card.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, when creating an elastic bare metal, the server virtualizes storage and network devices, i.e., virtual network port information, on the smart network card based on the storage configuration information and network configuration information on the basis of the original elastic bare metal in the server according to the creation information transmitted by the user, so that the user can directly access the elastic bare metal information through the virtual network port information, thereby realizing the creation of the elastic bare metal of the smart network card. The interaction between the server and the smart network card shortens the creation cycle, simplifies the creation operation, eliminates the need for manual intervention, and reduces the operation and maintenance costs.

[0073] The following first introduces the elastic bare metal creation system based on the smart network card provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0074] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of an elastic bare metal creation system based on a smart network card. The elastic bare metal creation system based on a smart network card includes a user terminal 10, a server terminal 11 and a smart network card 12. The user terminal 10 is connected to the server terminal 11 through a network, and the server terminal 11 is connected to the smart network card 12 through a network.

[0075] In some embodiments, the user terminal 10 may be a computer, tablet computer or other smart device capable of logging into the system platform, the server terminal 11 may be an electronic device capable of communicating with a physical server, and the smart network card 12 may be a data processor (DPU).

[0076] In this embodiment, the server 11 may include a bare metal computing node and a backend storage. The bare metal computing node may be an electronic device, and the backend storage may be a physical server.

[0077] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 Flowchart of a method for creating SmartNIC-based Elastic Bare Metal.

[0078] S201, the client 10 sends a request to create an elastic bare metal to the server 11.

[0079] S202 , the server 11 responds to the request of the client 10 to create an elastic bare metal and obtains the creation information of the elastic bare metal.

[0080] S203, the server 11 generates virtual port information according to the creation information.

[0081] S204 , the server 11 transmits the virtual port information to the smart network card 12 .

[0082] S205 , the smart network card 12 creates virtual network port information, and accesses the elastic bare metal of the server 11 through the virtual network port information.

[0083] S206 , the smart network card 12 transmits the virtual network port information to the server 11 .

[0084] S207 , the server 11 receives the virtual network port information sent by the smart network card 12 .

[0085] S208, when the virtual network port information and the virtual port information are the same, perform a mounting operation on the smart network card according to the creation information to obtain a creation result.

[0086] S209, sending the creation result to the user terminal 10.

[0087] In some embodiments, in S201, the tenant can operate the user terminal 10 to log in to the elastic bare metal creation system based on the smart network card, and then send a request to create an elastic bare metal to the server 11 according to the guidance command of the system.

[0088] In some embodiments, in S202, when the user creates the elastic bare metal on the user terminal 10, the user fills in the creation information on the user terminal. The creation information may include storage configuration information and network configuration information, that is, the storage configuration information may be the running memory, data storage library, data disk size, etc. of the elastic bare metal, and the network configuration information may include the access address and IP address of the user terminal.

[0089] In some embodiments, in S203, the server 11 can generate virtual port information according to the creation information for the virtual access port of the elastic bare metal.

[0090] It is worth noting that when creating an elastic bare metal, in order to create an elastic bare metal based on the OpenStack base driver (OpenStack basedriver), Neutron can be called to create virtual port information (Port) to generate virtual port information, wherein the virtual port information is used to represent the first access address of the elastic bare metal.

[0091] In some embodiments, in S204 , the server 11 sends Port information to the smart network card, and the smart network card 12 creates virtual network port information according to the Port information.

[0092] In some embodiments, in S205, the smart network card 12 creates virtual network port information based on the virtual port information so that the user terminal 10 can access the elastic bare metal through the virtual network port information, wherein the virtual network port information is used to characterize the network card access address of the smart network card, that is, the network access address is configured in the configuration process (Ironic-Agent) of the smart network card to associate it with the first access address of the elastic bare metal through the network access address.

[0093] In some embodiments, in S208, when the first access address is consistent with the network card access address, a mount operation needs to be performed according to the storage configuration information and the network configuration information to obtain a creation result; as an example, the mount operation may include a storage mount operation and a network mount operation, and the creation result may include the mounted virtual hard disk information and network information, wherein the virtual hard disk information may be a system disk and a drive letter, and the network information may be an IP address or an access address of the network.

[0094] In some embodiments, after S208, the server 11 uses the configuration tool (Ironic) to call the intelligent platform management window (ipmi) to restart the elastic bare metal. The elastic bare metal starts scanning the hardware to identify the virtual hard disk information and network information, and then controls the virtual hard disk to start.

[0095] When creating an elastic bare metal instance, the server virtualizes storage and network devices, namely, virtual network port information, on the smart network card based on the storage configuration information and network configuration information based on the original elastic bare metal instance in the server according to the creation information of the user. This allows the user to directly access the elastic bare metal instance information through the virtual network port information, thereby creating an elastic bare metal instance of the smart network card. The interaction between the server and the smart network card shortens the creation cycle, simplifies the creation operation, and eliminates the need for manual intervention. In addition, during later operation and maintenance, the created virtual network port is the same interface as the original elastic bare metal port. The unified management of the virtual machine and the elastic bare metal instance block storage service only needs to be achieved through the user, thus reducing the operation and maintenance costs.

[0096] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a process flow of a method for creating an elastic bare metal based on a smart network card according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, which is applied to a server, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method for creating an elastic bare metal based on a smart network card includes the following steps S301-S305:

[0097] S301, in response to a request from a user to create an elastic bare metal, obtain creation information of the elastic bare metal.

[0098] In one embodiment, when creating an elastic bare metal, a user usually logs in to an elastic bare metal creation system based on a smart network card through a user terminal, and supplements creation information on the system according to a preset template built into the system. As an example, the creation information includes storage configuration information and network configuration information. After completing the creation information, the server obtains the creation information from the user terminal through a communication protocol.

[0099] S302: Generate virtual port information according to the creation information.

[0100] In some embodiments, after the server obtains the creation information, it is necessary to create a new virtual network port on the original elastic bare metal according to the creation information provided by the user, that is, to generate a virtual network port according to the creation information. It is worth understanding that the virtual port information can be the second access address corresponding to the generated virtual network port.

[0101] In one embodiment, in the process of creating virtual port information, a bootable volume operation can be created according to the image mode selected by the user through the block storage service (Cinder) in the base driver (OpenStack base driver). As an example, the image mode can include custom image production, image production based on a virtual machine or physical machine, image transformation and generation, etc.

[0102] What we can learn is:

[0103] 1. Customized image production:

[0104] After writing data to the elastic bare metal instance, users can create an image after the host is created.

[0105] Enter the bare metal server management interface through the console, select the specified bare metal, and click "More" - "Cloud Disk and Image" - "Create Image".

[0106] In the pop-up dialog box, fill in the image name and click OK. After the image is created, you can view the list of created images on the Image Management page.

[0107] 2. Create an image based on a virtual machine or physical machine:

[0108] Users can use systems installed on virtual machines, physical machines, or containers to create images.

[0109] For Linux systems, it is recommended to use ZStack Cloud's cloud host for image creation, ensure that the cloud host system BIOS mode is set to UEFI, and avoid using LVM partitions to reduce possible problems.

[0110] For Windows systems, you can use the Windows system installed on a physical server to create an image.

[0111] 3. Image transformation and generation:

[0112] Image production is usually divided into two processes: image modification and image generation.

[0113] For certain systems (such as CentOS 7.6 / 7.9), you may need to use specific scripts and dependency packages to modify the image to ensure that the image is compatible with the bare metal server.

[0114] Container image support:

[0115] Although not directly a bare metal image, the new generation of cloud-native bare metal solutions combines bare metal and container technologies, allowing users to quickly deploy applications through container images.

[0116] This approach provides greater flexibility and portability, allowing applications to run seamlessly on different computing platforms.

[0117] In this embodiment, the created virtual port information is returned to the network module (Nova) of the elastic bare metal to store the virtual port information.

[0118] In this embodiment, when the elastic bare metal needs to be associated with the smart network card, the virtual port information of the elastic bare metal needs to be sent to the smart network card, and the smart network card creates virtual network port information according to the virtual port information.

[0119] S303: Transmit the virtual port information to the smart network card, so that the smart network card creates virtual network port information and accesses the elastic bare metal of the server through the virtual network port information. The smart network card sends the virtual network port information to the server.

[0120] See also Figure 4 In a specific embodiment, S303 may specifically include the following steps:

[0121] S3031, obtain the mount identification number.

[0122] S3032, extract the address of the network configuration information to obtain the first access address of the user terminal.

[0123] S3033: Determine an access interface of the smart network card according to the first access address and the mount identification number.

[0124] S3034: Determine a second access address of the smart network card according to the access interface.

[0125] S3035: Use the second access address as virtual port information.

[0126] In this embodiment, in order for the smart network card to be network mounted on the elastic bare metal, it is necessary to obtain the mount identification number (bdf number) of the elastic bare metal. The method of obtaining it can be to obtain it from the local database in the local server corresponding to the elastic bare metal, or to obtain it from the mount identification number list pre-stored in the smart network card.

[0127] As an example, the mount identification number is used to represent the network address information corresponding to the smart network card.

[0128] In the creation information, the creation information generally stores the first access address of the user end. In the smart network card, multiple access interfaces are generally set up. The second access address of the smart network card can be determined through the access interface, that is, the second access address can be randomly assigned by the smart network card, or the smart network card can assign the second access address according to the storage order.

[0129] The second access address is then sent to the server as the virtual network port information to establish a network connection between the elastic bare metal and the smart network card.

[0130] In this embodiment, after creating the virtual network port information, it is also necessary to bind the virtual network port information of the smart network card to the virtual machine, that is, to generate a virtual machine representative port based on the second access address according to the network configuration information. As an example, the virtual machine representative port can be a port for accessing the virtual machine, and then the virtual machine representative port is used as the virtual network port information. At this point, the newly created elastic bare metal has completed the preparations before network mounting, that is, associations are established with the smart network card and the virtual machine respectively through the virtual port information, and binding is performed, so that the user end can directly access the elastic bare metal through the virtual network port information, which is more convenient.

[0131] S304, receiving virtual network port information sent by the smart network card;

[0132] In one embodiment, after the smart network card generates the virtual network port information, the smart network card receives the virtual network port information through a network protocol, so that the server can complete the creation operation according to the received virtual network port information.

[0133] S305: When the virtual port information is the same as the virtual network port information, a mounting operation is performed on the smart network card according to the storage configuration information and the network configuration information to obtain a creation result.

[0134] In a specific embodiment, the creation result includes the mounted virtual hard disk information and network information, and the mounting operation may include a network mounting operation and a storage mounting operation; that is, the server performs network mounting and storage mounting with the smart network card to complete the creation of elastic bare metal.

[0135] In an embodiment of the present application, when creating an elastic bare metal, the server virtualizes storage and network devices, i.e., virtual network port information, on the smart network card based on the storage configuration information and network configuration information based on the original elastic bare metal in the server according to the creation information transmitted by the user. In one example, the virtual network port information is used to characterize the network card access address of the smart network card. The user terminal can directly access the elastic bare metal information through the virtual network port information to realize the creation of the elastic bare metal of the smart network card. The interaction between the server and the smart network card shortens the creation cycle, simplifies the creation operation, eliminates the need for manual intervention, and reduces the operation and maintenance costs.

[0136] In a specific embodiment, when performing a storage mount operation, some storage preparations need to be performed first, so that when performing the storage mount operation, the requirements of the storage mount operation are met, and the operation is performed more quickly and conveniently.

[0137] In one embodiment, before performing the mounting operation according to the storage configuration information and the network configuration information, the method further includes the following steps:

[0138] Obtaining a mount identification number, where the mount identification number is used to represent storage location information corresponding to the user end;

[0139] Determine a storage initiator and a storage location identifier according to the storage configuration information;

[0140] Create a storage block device based on the storage initiator and storage location identifier;

[0141] Get the storage interface information of the smart network card;

[0142] The mount identification number and the storage block device are stored and associated according to the storage interface information to obtain an association result, so as to implement a storage mount operation according to the storage configuration information.

[0143] In this embodiment, before performing the storage mounting operation, it is necessary to use the mount identification number to determine the storage information of the elastic bare metal, that is, to specify which storage disks of the physical server can be used by the elastic bare metal. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the storage range according to the mount identification number of the elastic bare metal, and to associate the storage range with the smart network card to ensure that the user can correctly access the elastic bare metal through the virtual network port information.

[0144] In this embodiment, when the user terminal transmits the creation information, the storage configuration information of the creation information may include a storage initiator (initiator_name) and a storage location identifier (url number), and then the distributed block storage of the physical server is connected through the storage identifier and the storage initiator, and a storage block device (bdf device) is created on the physical server. At the same time, the storage interface information of the smart network card is obtained using the above-mentioned mount identification number, and then the server associates the storage interface information with the storage block device to obtain an association result. At this time, after the elastic bare metal is restarted, the storage block device can be identified by scanning the hardware device, which facilitates the storage mounting of the elastic bare metal and the elastic bare metal.

[0145] In addition, it is worth mentioning that storage mounting is connected to the file system hierarchy of the physical server through the storage interface information of the smart network card, so that users can access remote files just like accessing local files.

[0146] In another embodiment, before performing the storage mounting operation according to the storage configuration information, the method further includes:

[0147] Get at least one disk;

[0148] Identify at least one disk according to a preset identification rule;

[0149] When the number of disks is one, the disk is determined to be a system disk;

[0150] When the number of disks is at least two, one of the disks is determined as a system disk according to a preset identification rule, and the other disks of the at least two disks except the system disk are determined as data disks.

[0151] In this embodiment, since there are multiple disks in the physical server, these disks are all used to provide storage media. When the elastic bare metal is created, these disks need to be identified to obtain drive letters. When the user's storage configuration information includes a determined disk, the determined disk is both a system disk and a data disk, that is, the system disk is used to store the system, and the data disk is used as a storage medium to store some data that the user needs to store, including but not limited to files, videos, etc.

[0152] In a specific embodiment, when the user's storage configuration information includes multiple disks, that is, when the number of disks is at least two, it is necessary to determine one disk as a system disk and the other disks as data disks. As an example, the preset identification rule can be to sort at least two disks, obtain the size of the system data and the size of the disk, calculate the difference between the disk size and the system data size, and the disk corresponding to the smallest difference is the system disk, and the rest are data disks. It is worth noting that the above-mentioned preset identification rule is only an exemplary description and is not limited here.

[0153] In one embodiment, in order to implement lifecycle management of elastic bare metal, form a complete operation closed loop, and perform rapid operation response, it is also necessary to configure unmounted volumes in elastic bare metal, which not only implements the unmounting of storage block devices but also the deletion of network ports and the unbinding of networks.

[0154] After performing a mounting operation according to the storage configuration information and the network configuration information to obtain a creation result, the method further includes:

[0155] In response to a storage block device unloading command from a user terminal, obtaining a storage location identifier transmitted by the user terminal;

[0156] Determine a mount identification number based on the storage location identifier;

[0157] Unmount the storage block device according to the mount identification number, obtain the unmount result, and transmit the unmount result to the user end.

[0158] In this embodiment, since the above storage mounting operation is performed based on the Storage Performance Development Kit (SPDK), when unloading, it is necessary to first receive the storage block device unloading command of the user end, and the unloading command includes a storage location identifier, that is, the address of the storage block device corresponding to the user end, and then determine the mount identifier of the elastic bare metal through the storage location identifier, and then unload the storage block device through the mount identifier to obtain the unloading result. As an example, the unloading result includes successful unloading and unsuccessful unloading.

[0159] In addition, for the storage volume created by the existing Internet Small Computer System Interface (ISCSI), the ISCSI task can be directly launched and the configuration information of the Internet Small Computer System Interface can be deleted. Since it is a conventional technology, it will not be described in detail here.

[0160] In another embodiment, in order to realize the uninstallation of the virtual network port, after performing a mounting operation according to the storage configuration information and the network configuration information and obtaining a creation result, the method further includes:

[0161] In response to a virtual network port uninstallation request from a user terminal, obtaining virtual network port information corresponding to the user terminal;

[0162] Determine the mount identification number based on the virtual network port information;

[0163] Calling the second access address of the smart network card according to the mount identification number;

[0164] Determine the access interface according to the second access address;

[0165] Delete the access interface and obtain the first deletion result;

[0166] Send the first deletion result to the user terminal.

[0167] In this embodiment, a virtual network port uninstallation request transmitted by the user end is received, the virtual network port information created above is obtained, and then the mount identification number of the elastic bare metal is determined through the virtual network port information. Since the mount identification number corresponds to the second access address of the smart network port, the access interface of the smart network card can be determined through the mount identification number, and then the access interface can be deleted to obtain a first deletion result, which includes successful deletion or unsuccessful deletion. Finally, the first deletion result is sent to the user end to let the user know the first deletion result.

[0168] In another embodiment, after performing a mount operation according to the storage configuration information and the network configuration information to obtain a creation result, the method further includes:

[0169] In response to a virtual machine representative port unbinding request transmitted by a user end, obtain virtual network port information transmitted by the user end;

[0170] Deleting the virtual machine representative port according to the virtual port information to obtain a second deletion result;

[0171] The second deletion result is transmitted to the user terminal.

[0172] In this embodiment, it is also necessary to unbind the virtual machine representative port to achieve the disconnection between the virtual machine and the elastic bare metal. Therefore, when a virtual machine representative port unbinding request transmitted by the user end is received, the virtual representative port can be deleted according to the virtual network port information to obtain a second deletion result, and the second deletion result is transmitted to the user end so that the user end is aware of the second deletion result.

[0173] In one embodiment, in S305, when the first access address is different from the network card access address:

[0174] The virtual port information is updated according to the network card access address to obtain new virtual port information.

[0175] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the consistency between the elastic bare metal and the smart network card, the network card access address and the virtual port need to be updated. Only by keeping the network card access address and the virtual port information of the elastic bare metal consistent can the elastic bare metal be accessed through the smart network card. Therefore, the virtual port information can be updated through the network card access address to keep the virtual port information consistent with the network card access address.

[0176] It is worth noting that the embodiment of the present application directly creates / deletes system disks through the storage block service (Cinder), which significantly shortens the resource delivery cycle, reduces the cost of subsequent operation and maintenance, and improves the overall automation level and efficiency of resource delivery.

[0177] In addition, by managing system disks through storage block services and directly mounting them through SPDK, the creation cycle can be significantly shortened and creation efficiency can be improved.

[0178] On the other hand, since the elastic bare metal is associated with the smart network card, the interfaces such as virtual network port, storage block device creation, and storage block device deletion are configured in a unified manner. The life cycle of traditional elastic bare metal and elastic bare metal of the smart network card can be managed through the same interface, reducing the development workload.
