Tutorial: Get started with GreenNode Bare-metal
Step 1: Configure Tenant Network
- Open the GreenNode console at https://(TBD)
- At the navigation menu bar, select VPC Tab
- Select Create VPCs, at the "VPC Name" field, enter a name for your VPC. Note that the name can only contain characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, '.', '@', '_', and '-'. At the same time, the length of the name must be between 5 and 50 characters.
- Select a location for your VPC from the list of available locations.
In the "CIDR Block," enter the CIDR address for your network. Make sure that the IP address falls within one of the following ranges:
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.0.0
172.16.0.0 - 172.24.0.0
192.168.0.0
Click the "Create" button or similar to begin the process of creating your new VPC.
These steps will help you create a new VPC with specific parameters and ensure that the conditions are followed.
Step 2: Create Bare-metal
Use the instructions below to get started creating your first Bare-metal:
Log on to the GreenNote console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose .
Click Create an Bare-metal.
Complete the basic settings
Take note of the following settings in the Basic Configurations step:
Parameter
Description
Region and Zone
Bare metal instances are available only in specific regions and zones. You can check the regions and zones in which Bare Metal Instance families are available on the Instance Types Available for Each Region page. You can check Bare Metal Instance types that are available for your account on the instance creation page.
Instance Type
Select the bare-metal instance type. We provide you with suitable Instance configuration packages with powerful performance including optimal parameters for CPU, RAM, GPU, Storage, Network.
Network settings
Complete the setup in the Network Connection step by selecting your VPC.
Configure security settings by using methods for your bare-metal using 2 methods:- Manual form: Using a form to input information
- User data: Upload file or input user data
Then select your SSH Key using the generated list- Review your options and the fees.
Click Create Bare-metal, then complete the payment.
Step 3: Connect to your Bare-metal
After you
create a Bare-metal, you can log in to it using multiple methods. This section
describes the procedure to log in to a Bare-metal using an SSH key pair and
console
Connect Bare-metal using console
This method requires you to have the server's password. By default, the VNG Cloud system automatically generates a password for the virtual server when you create a new one. This information will be emailed when the virtual server is created and is in Active state. You can also use the username and password you entered earlier in the server creation process.
Request
Some cases need to use this connection method to solve, such as:
• The server has a network connection problem
• When it is necessary to find out the problem and handle it, the abnormal programs running on the server cause network congestion or CPU processing is too high.
• The server has an incorrect firewall configuration
• Bare-metal connection information at the creation step
2. Select the bare-metal and click "Console" to open the bare-metal management window via console.
3. Enter the operating system password to log inConnect
Using SSH Tool
Users can use the operating system password or SSH key pair to connect to the bare-metal via the SSH protocol.
When making connections to a Linux server, you should prefer the method of using SSH key pairs and tools that support the SSH protocol such as Linux terminal or PuTTY on Windows. This is the most secure and convenient method to connect to the server.
Request
• The bare-metal must be running: After the bare-metal is successfully initialized, its information appears on the control panel's server list page and the server's status is Active
• Bare-metal connection information at the creation step
Procedure
To use SSH Key to log in to the bare-metal by using password, you can use the following commands:
- Use Linux Terminal to connect to vServer
- Use ssh command: sh <username>@<bare-metal-ip>
- (Replace
the corresponding values).
- Examle: ssh Johb@192.168.0.1
- Change the password for the stackops user the first time you log in
- Enter the stackops user's password with the content instancePassword in the email
- Re-enter the stackops user's password with the content instancePassword in the email
- Enter a new password for the stackops user to use for future login
- Re-enter the new password for the stackops user to use for future login
- Type the command sudo -i or sudo su to gain root execution rights on the Server
