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 Common BMS.

When creating the BMS, pay attention to the following parameters:

• Flavor: Select physical.h2.large or physical.hs2.large. 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.
