[0073] Firstly, the elastic bare metal creation system based on the intelligent network card provided in the embodiment of the present application is introduced.

[0074] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of the elastic bare metal creation system based on the intelligent network card, the elastic bare metal creation system based on the intelligent network card comprises a user end 10, a server 11 and an intelligent network card 12, the user end 10 is in communication connection with the server 11 through a network, and the server 11 is in network connection with the intelligent network card 12.

[0075] In some embodiments, the user end 10 can be a computer, a tablet computer or the like intelligent device capable of logging in a system platform, the server 11 can be an electronic device capable of communicating with a physical server, and the intelligent network card 12 can be a data processing unit (DPU).

[0076] In the embodiment, the server 11 can comprise a bare metal computing node and a back-end memory, the bare metal computing node can be an electronic device, and the back-end memory can be a physical server.

[0077] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 2 FIG. 2 is a flow schematic diagram of the elastic bare metal creation method based on the intelligent network card.

[0078] S201, the user end 10 sends a request for creating an elastic bare metal to the server 11.

[0079] S202, the server 11 acquires creation information of the elastic bare metal in response to the request for creating the elastic bare metal from the user end 10.

[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 intelligent network card 12.

[0082] S205, the intelligent 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 intelligent network card 12 transmits the virtual network port information to the service end 11.

[0084] S207, the service end 11 receives the virtual network port information sent by the intelligent network card 12.

[0085] S208, in the case that the virtual network port information and the virtual port information are the same, the intelligent network card is mounted according to the creation information, and a creation result is obtained.

[0086] S209, the creation result is sent to the user end 10.

[0087] In some embodiments, in S201, the tenant can operate the user end 10 to log in to the intelligent network card-based elastic bare metal creation system, and then send a creation request of the elastic bare metal to the service end 11 according to the guidance command of the system.

[0088] In some embodiments, in S202, the user fills in the creation information in the user end when creating the elastic bare metal in the user end 10, and the creation information can include storage configuration information and network configuration information, that is, the storage configuration information can be the running memory, data storage, data disk size, etc. of the elastic bare metal, and the network configuration information can include the access address and ip address of the user end.

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

[0090] It is worth noting that when creating the elastic bare metal, the virtual port information can be generated by calling Neutron to create the virtual port information (Port) on the basis of the OpenStack basedriver, and the virtual port information is used to represent the first access address of the elastic bare metal.

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

[0092] In some embodiments, in S205, the intelligent network card 12 creates the virtual network port information according to the virtual port information, so that the user end 10 can access the elastic bare metal through the virtual network port information, and the virtual network port information is used to represent the network card access address of the intelligent network card, that is, the network access address is configured in the configuration process (Ironic-Agent) of the intelligent network card, so as to be associated 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, mounting 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 mounting operation can include a storage mounting operation and a network mounting operation, and the creation result can include virtual hard disk information and network information, wherein the virtual hard disk information can be a system disk and a disk symbol, and the network information can be an IP address or an access address of the network.

[0094] In some embodiments, after S208, the server 11 calls an intelligent platform management interface (ipmi) to restart the elastic bare metal by using a configuration tool (Ironic), the elastic bare metal starts to scan hardware to identify virtual hard disk information and network information, and then controls the virtual hard disk to start.

[0095] When creating the elastic bare metal, the server creates storage and network devices according to the storage configuration information and the network configuration information on the intelligent network card on the basis of the original elastic bare metal in the server according to the creation information of the user end, so that the user end can directly access the elastic bare metal information through the virtual network port information, realizes the creation of the elastic bare metal of the intelligent network card, shortens the creation period through the interaction between the server and the intelligent network card, simplifies the creation operation, and does not need manual intervention. Moreover, in the later operation and maintenance, the virtual network port and the original elastic bare metal port are the same interface, and only the unified management of the virtual machine and the elastic bare metal instance block storage service needs to be realized through the user end, thereby reducing the operation and maintenance cost.

[0096] Figure 3 A flowchart of a method for creating an elastic bare metal based on an intelligent network card is shown, which is applied to a server. Figure 3 As shown, the method for creating an elastic bare metal based on an intelligent network card includes the following steps S301-S305.

[0097] S301, in response to a request of the user end for creating an elastic bare metal, creation information of the elastic bare metal is obtained.

[0098] In one embodiment, generally when creating an elastic bare metal, the user logs in to an elastic bare metal creation system based on an intelligent network card through a user end, and supplements creation information according to a preset template built in the system, as an example, the creation information includes storage configuration information and network configuration information; after the creation information is completed, the server obtains the creation information of the user end through a communication protocol.

[0099] S302, virtual port information is generated according to the creation information.

[0100] In some embodiments, after the service end obtains the creation information, a new virtual network port needs to be created in the original elastic bare metal according to the user-provided creation information, that is, a virtual port information is generated according to the creation information to generate a virtual network port. It is understood that the virtual port information can be a second access address corresponding to the generated virtual network port.

[0101] In one embodiment, in the process of creating virtual port information, a block storage service (Cinder) in the base driver (OpenStack base driver) can be used to create a bootable volume according to the user's selected image mode. As an example, the image mode can include custom image making, virtual machine or physical machine image making, image modification and generation, etc.

[0102] It can be known that:

[0103] 1. Custom image making:

[0104] After the user writes data in the elastic bare metal instance, waits for the host to be created, and then creates an image.

[0105] Enter the bare metal server management interface through the console, select the specified bare metal, 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 images made in the image management page.

[0107] 2. Virtual machine or physical machine image making:

[0108] The user can use the system installed on the virtual machine, physical machine or container for image making.

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

[0110] For Windows systems, you can use the Windows system installed on the physical server for image making.

[0111] 3. Image modification and generation:

[0112] Image making usually includes two processes: image modification and image generation.

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

[0114] Container image support:

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

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

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

[0118] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to associate the elastic bare metal and the intelligent network card, the virtual port information of the elastic bare metal needs to be sent to the intelligent network card, and the intelligent network card creates virtual network port information according to the virtual port information.

[0119] S303, transmitting the virtual port information to the intelligent network card to make the intelligent network card create virtual network port information and access the elastic bare metal of the service end through the virtual network port information, and the intelligent network card sends the virtual network port information to the service end.

[0120] Referring to Figure 4 In one specific embodiment, S303 can specifically include the following steps:

[0121] S3031, obtaining a mounting identification number.

[0122] S3032, performing address extraction on the network configuration information to obtain a first access address of the user end.

[0123] S3033, determining an access interface of the intelligent network card according to the first access address and the mounting identification number.

[0124] S3034, determining a second access address of the intelligent network card according to the access interface.

[0125] S3035, taking the second access address as the virtual port information.

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

[0127] As an example, the mounting identification number is used to represent the network address information corresponding to the intelligent network card

[0128] In the creation information, the creation information generally stores the first access address of the user end. In the intelligent network card, a plurality of access interfaces are generally provided. The second access address of the intelligent network card can be determined through the access interfaces, that is, the second access address can be randomly allocated by the intelligent network card, or the second access address can be allocated by the intelligent network card according to the storage order.

[0129] Then, the second access address is taken as the virtual network port information and is sent to the server, so as to establish the network connection between the elastic bare metal and the intelligent network card.

[0130] In the embodiment, after the virtual network port information is created, the virtual network port information of the intelligent network card needs to be bound with the virtual machine, that is, the second access address is used to generate a virtual machine representative port according to the network configuration information. As an example, the virtual machine representative port can be a port for accessing the virtual machine. Then, the virtual machine representative port is taken as the virtual network port information. At this time, the newly created elastic bare metal completes the preparation before the network mounting, that is, the association with the intelligent network card and the virtual machine is established and the binding is performed through the virtual port information, 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 the virtual network port information sent by the intelligent network card;

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

[0133] S305, in the case that the virtual port information is the same as the virtual network port information, performing a mounting operation on the intelligent network card according to the storage configuration information and the network configuration information, to obtain a creation result.

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

[0135] In the embodiment of the application, when the elastic bare metal is created, the server creates the storage and network devices according to the storage configuration information and the network configuration information on the basis of the original elastic bare metal in the server according to the creation information of the user end, that is, the virtual network port information. In one example, the virtual network port information is used to represent the network card access address of the intelligent network card. The user end can directly access the elastic bare metal information through the virtual network port information, the creation of the intelligent network card is realized, the creation period is shortened through the interaction between the server and the intelligent network card, the creation operation is simplified, manual intervention is not needed, and the operation and maintenance cost is reduced.

[0136] In one embodiment, before performing the storage mounting operation, some storage preparation is required to meet the requirements of the storage mounting operation when performing the storage mounting operation, which is more convenient and fast.

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

[0138] Obtaining a mounting identification number, the mounting identification number being used to represent the storage location information corresponding to the user terminal;

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

[0140] Creating a storage block device according to the storage initiator and the storage location identifier;

[0141] Obtaining storage interface information of the intelligent network card;

[0142] Storing the mounting identification number and the storage block device according to the storage interface information to obtain an association result, so as to realize the storage mounting operation according to the storage configuration information.

[0143] In this embodiment, before performing the storage mounting operation, the mounting identification number is used to determine the storage information of the elastic bare metal, that is, to determine which storage disks of the physical server can be used by the elastic bare metal, so the storage range needs to be determined according to the mounting identification number of the elastic bare metal, and the storage range needs to be associated with the intelligent network card, so that the user can correctly access the elastic bare metal when accessing 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 can include a storage initiator (initiator_name) and a storage location identifier (url number), and then the storage initiator and the storage location identifier are used to connect the distributed block storage of the physical server, and a storage block device (bdf device) is created in the physical server. At the same time, the storage interface information of the intelligent network card is obtained by using the above mounting identification number, and then the storage interface information is associated with the storage block device by the server to obtain an association result. At this time, the elastic bare metal can recognize the storage block device by scanning the hardware device after restarting, which facilitates the storage mounting of the elastic bare metal and the elastic bare metal.

[0145] In addition, it is worth noting that the storage mounting is connected to the file system hierarchy of the physical server through the storage interface information of the intelligent network card, so that the user can access the remote file as if accessing the local file.

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

[0147] acquire at least one disk;

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

[0149] in a case where the number of disks is one, the disk is determined as a system disk;

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

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

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

[0153] In one embodiment, in order to realize the life cycle management of the elastic bare metal, form a complete operation closed loop, and perform a quick operation response, the elastic bare metal also needs to be configured with an unloading volume, and not only the unloading of the storage block device but also the deletion of the network port and the unbundling of the network are realized.

[0154] After the mounting operation is performed 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 of the user end, acquiring a storage location identifier transmitted by the user end;

[0156] determining a mounting identification number according to the storage location identifier;

[0157] unloading the storage block device according to the mounting identification number to obtain an unloading result and transmitting the unloading result to the user end.

[0158] In the embodiment, since the storage mounting operation is performed based on the storage performance development kit (SPDK), when the unmounting is performed, a storage block device unmounting command of the user end is first received, the storage location identifier, i.e., the address of the storage block device corresponding to the user end, is contained in the unmounting command, the mounting identifier of the elastic bare metal is determined through the storage location identifier, the storage block device is unmounted through the mounting identifier, and the unmounting result is obtained. As an example, the unmounting result includes unmounting success and unmounting failure.

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

[0160] In another embodiment, in order to realize the unmounting of the virtual network port, after the mounting operation is performed according to the storage configuration information and the network configuration information, the method further includes:

[0161] In response to the virtual network port unmounting request of the user end, the virtual network port information corresponding to the user end is obtained;

[0162] The mounting identifier is determined according to the virtual network port information;

[0163] The second access address of the intelligent network card is called according to the mounting identifier;

[0164] The access interface is determined according to the second access address;

[0165] The access interface is deleted, and the first deletion result is obtained;

[0166] The first deletion result is sent to the user end.

[0167] In the embodiment, the virtual network port unmounting request transmitted by the user end is received, the virtual network port information created in the foregoing is obtained, the mounting identifier of the elastic bare metal is determined through the virtual network port information, since the mounting identifier corresponds to the second access address of the intelligent network port, the access interface of the intelligent network card can be determined through the mounting identifier, and then the access interface is deleted to obtain the first deletion result. The first deletion result includes success or failure of deletion, and finally the first deletion result is sent to the user end, so that the user knows the first deletion result.

[0168] In another embodiment, after the mounting operation is performed according to the storage configuration information and the network configuration information, the method further includes:

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

[0170] The virtual machine representative port is deleted according to the virtual port information, and a second deletion result is obtained;

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

[0172] In the embodiment, the virtual machine representative port also needs to be unbound to realize the disassociation of the virtual machine and the elastic bare metal, so when the 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, a second deletion result is obtained, and the second deletion result is transmitted to the user end, so that the user end knows 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, and new virtual port information is obtained.

[0175] In the embodiment, in order to ensure the consistency of the elastic bare metal and the intelligent network card, the network card access address and the virtual port need to be updated. Only when the network card access address and the virtual port information of the elastic bare metal are consistent, the elastic bare metal can be accessed through the intelligent network card. Therefore, the virtual port information can be updated through the network card access address, so that the virtual port information is consistent with the network card access address.

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

[0177] In addition, by managing system disks through the storage block service, direct mounting through SPDK can significantly shorten the creation period and improve the creation efficiency.

[0178] In another aspect, since the elastic bare metal is associated with the intelligent network card, the virtual network port, the storage block device creation, and the storage block device deletion interface are uniformly configured, so that the same interface can be used to manage the life cycle of the traditional elastic bare metal and the intelligent network card at the same time, thereby reducing the development workload.
