Creating a BMS Supporting Quick Provisioning
Scenarios
When provisioning a common BMS, you need to download its OS from the cloud and install it. The download costs a long time. BMSs using EVS disks as system disks can be provisioned quickly.
BMSs supporting quick provisioning have the following advantages over other BMSs:
- BMSs booted from EVS disks can be provisioned within about 5 minutes.
- BMSs support CSBS backups, ensuring data security.
- BMS rebuilding upon faults is supported, enabling quick service recovery.
- An Image of a BMS can be exported to apply configurations of the BMS to other BMSs without the need of configuring the BMSs again.
On the page for creating a BMS, select a flavor that supports quick BMS provisioning, set the system disk type and capacity, and configure other required parameters to obtain a BMS.
Procedure
You can create a BMS supporting quick provisioning by following the instructions in Creating a BMS.
When creating the BMS, pay attention to the following parameters:
- Flavor: Select physical.s4.medium, physical.s4.large, physical.s4.xlarge, physical.s4.2xlarge, or physical.s4.3xlarge. For more information about flavors, see Instance Family.
- Image: Select a public image that supports quick provisioning.
- Disk: Set the system disk type and size.
- Auto Backup: You are advised to select Enable auto backup and set Backup Policy to ensure data security.
