Bare Metal Server Deployment: Complete Guide
Bare metal servers are physical servers without a virtualization layer, and deploying them typically involves the following steps:
- Hardware preparation: First, prepare bare metal servers and corresponding network devices to ensure the connection between servers and network devices is functioning properly.
- Operating system installation: Installing the operating system onto a bare metal server is typically done through methods such as USB boot drives or network installation.
- Set up the network: configure the network settings of the bare metal server, including IP address, subnet mask, gateway, etc., to ensure that the server can communicate properly with other devices.
- Install necessary software: Install the required software and applications according to actual needs, such as databases, web servers, etc.
- Configure security settings such as firewall, access control, and other security measures to ensure the security of bare metal servers.
- Testing and debugging: testing and debugging the deployed bare metal servers to ensure that the performance and stability meet the requirements.
- Regular maintenance: Periodically maintain and update bare-metal servers to ensure that the server systems and software are always kept up to date, enhancing the stability and security of the servers.
