Background
In the field of cloud computing, the deployment mode of the virtual machine is simple and efficient, and the virtual machine has the advantages of on-demand distribution, elastic expansion and quick delivery. However, virtual machines also have problems with virtualization loss, high latency, and low performance. In order to fully exert the performance of the physical machine, eliminate the virtualization loss, and manage and deploy the physical machine in a cloud computing environment, bare metal server technology has been developed. Bare metal servers allow virtual machines to run directly on physical hardware, thereby providing virtualization advantages while continuing to preserve performance advantages of physical machines.
However, the deployment and management process of bare metal servers is relatively complex. The traditional bare metal deployment method is mainly divided into two types of manual delivery and unattended operation. Manual delivery methods include on-site wiring and through iso-installers, but these methods are difficult to standardize delivery and require long deployment cycles. Unattended deployment is typically implemented by means of network boot (PXE) with the aid of an Ironic component of an open source project such as OpenStack. However, this approach also has some limitations, such as the effect of the mirror size on deployment success, and the inability of the user to adjust the logical disk configuration.
Particularly in the deployment process of bare metal servers, operations such as RAID configuration and data disk cleaning may be involved. RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks ) configuration is a technique that improves performance and fault tolerance by combining multiple disks. However, manually configuring RAID and formatting of data disks may result in problems of complex operations, high error rates, long deployment times, etc. In addition, the data security problem of bare metal servers is also of concern because improper data disk processing may result in data leakage from the previous user to the next user.

s4: and setting the bare metal node according to the preset mirror image activation of the operating system.
The implementation process of the invention is to set a deployment template, enter deployment parameters, enter a bare metal stage randisk, take over a bare metal node by a management process (ironic-python-agent) of a bare metal server, configure RAID and format a data disk, inject mirror image data, guide an operating system and activate the bare metal node. Aiming at the problems of deployment failure of the bare metal server and data residue of the bare metal data disk caused by unreasonable distribution of the bare metal logic disk, the invention realizes that the bare metal server automatically carries out raid configuration and deployment installation of data disk cleaning, and improves the deployment flexibility and data safety of the bare metal server.

starting the bare metal server from the bare metal network as a client;
requesting ip from a server side in a bare metal network through a bare metal server, and receiving the ip distributed by the server side, the address of a designated tftp (simple file transfer protocol) server and a system start guide file;
the bare metal server acquires ip and executes a system start guide file, and downloads kernel and ramdisk according to the setting of the system start guide file;

and the management process of the bare metal server formats the data disc according to the formatting command.
After the scheduling and network configuration are completed, the nova investigation ironic module starts to perform bare metal deployment. The deployment system is run through ipxe. After the bare metal is started from the network, a dhcp client in the network card requests an ip to a dhcp server, the server allocates the ip, simultaneously, the address of a tftp server and a system start guide file are designated, after the bare metal acquires the ip, the start guide file is downloaded and executed according to the guidance, a kernel and a ramdisk are downloaded from the tftp server according to the setting in the guide file, the kernel and the ramdisk are sequentially started after the downloading is completed, and after the starting is successful, an init process pulls up an ironic-python-agent process. IPA gets its corresponding ironic_node_uuid from the Ironic connector via a lookup. IPA communicates with Ironic through HeartBeat, and the drive deployment flow triggers the Ironic-conductor to send RAID configuration commands to IPA, so that IPA performs RAID configuration.
Entering a bare metal stage randisk. The bare metal server runs the deployment system through the px and pulls up the ironic-python-agent process.
The ironic-python-agent takes over the bare metal node. "ironic-python-agent" is an agent for managing bare metal servers. In this step, the agent will take over the bare metal node, responsible for performing subsequent operations such as RAID configuration, data disk formatting, mirror injection, etc.
In the RAID configuration and data disk formatting phase, the ir-python-agent receives a conductor request for hardware RAID configuration (e.g., disk redundancy) and formatting of the data disk. These operations will ensure that the data storage and redundancy of the server are satisfactory.
RAID configuration can be flexibly set according to user requirements. And the data disk cleaning is completed, so that data leakage is avoided.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 1, the step of generating the RAID configuration command by the management process of the bare metal server communicating with the ironic-conductor through a heartbeat protocol includes:
responding to the ironic-conductor receiving the first heartbeat protocol message, triggering the ironic-conductor to issue a RAID configuration command to a management process of the bare metal server;
in response to the irong-conductor receiving the second heartbeat protocol message, triggering the irong-conductor to issue a preparation_image (mirror preparation operation service) to a management process of the bare metal server;
in response to the irong-conductor receiving the third heartbeat protocol message, triggering the irong-conductor to query a command status on a management process of the bare metal server.
After receiving the Heartbase message (RPC message from ironic-api), the ironic-conductor processes the message according to the current state. The first HeartBeat message triggers the ironic-conductor to issue RAID configuration to IPA, later HeartBeat message triggers the preparation_image to IPA, later HeartBeat message triggers the ironic-conductor to query command status on IPA, its purpose is to monitor whether the commands such as preparation_image are still running. Once the command status display command ends. The next deployment operation is continued, including setting up the physical server to start up from disk, shut down, switch network, start up. Until the deployment process ends.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 1, in response to the RAID configuration being completed, the step of uploading the preset operating system image to the disk of the bare metal server includes:
in response to RAID configuration completion, acquiring new logic disk configuration from the bare metal server, and extracting a minimum disk according to the new logic disk configuration;
and the management process of the bare metal server injects the preset operating system image into the minimum disk.

IPA: the full scale ironic-python-agent is a service written with python exposing REST API to the conductor. The agent that actually controls the bare metal will actually run on top of the bare metal to receive the instruction of ironic to operate the bare metal in an in-band manner. The method is used in bare metal inspection, configuration, cleaning and mirror image deployment processes, and has different functions in different processes. In the scheme, the deployment flow for bare metal is mainly used for RAID configuration and bare metal deployment. The Ironic-Python-Agent can directly access hardware at the depoy module, providing the following functions:
disk formatting, disk partitioning, installing an OS (Bootloaders), firmware upgrading, and raid configuration.
