Create server

To use a Bare Metal Server, you must create one from the NAVER Cloud Platform console. To create the Bare Metal Server, follow these steps:

1. Click the environment you are using in the Region menu and the Platform menu on the NAVER Cloud Platform console.
2. Click Services > Compute > Server > Bare Metal Server in order.
3. Click [Create server].
4. When the server creation screen appears, proceed with the following steps in order:
   • 1. Select server image
   • 2. Set server
   • 3. Set authentication key
   • 4. Set network access
   • 5. Final confirmation

1. Select server image

Select the server image to create.

1. From the server image list, click [Next] to the right of the server image you want.
2. Check the popup window and click [OK].

2. Set server

Specify the server configuration information.

1. Select the zone to deploy the server.
2. Select the server type.
   • Select the appropriate number of CPUs and memory capacity for your purpose of use.
3. Select the RAID type (a method of grouping and using multiple disks).
   • RAID 5: RAID level generally used, which is appropriate for typical applications such as web services
   • RAID 1+0: appropriate for applications that require high performance and stability, such as DBMS
   • JBOD: method of using multiple disks but handling the input and output on a single disk. When the disk is full, the data is saved on another disk
4. Set the partition.
   • Number of partitions: select the number of partitions that logically distinguish the disk. Up to 5 partitions can be created.
   • Partition settings: set the mount point and capacity for each partition
     • Mount point: directory to mount (connect) the disk. It must start with an English letter and only lowercase English alphabets and numbers can be entered
     • Partition capacity (GiB): capacity of the disk, which is segmented within the available capacity. The last partition is calculated automatically.
5. Select the pricing plan.
   • Bare Metal Servers offer hourly pricing plans only.
   • The fee for the server is charged even when the server is stopped. If the server is not in use, terminate it.
6. Enter the number of servers and server names.
   • You can create up to 5 servers.
   • If you create multiple servers, you must enter a starting number. You can only enter numbers in the starting number, and "001" is the default value.
   • You can enter server names in 3-15 characters and they must begin with an English letter. Lowercase English letters, numbers, and hyphens (-) are allowed. If you do not enter a server name, the name is automatically generated.
   • The server name must not be duplicated.
7. Select the server termination protection status.
   • Termination protection helps prevent the accidental termination of servers. Enable termination protection for servers with essential roles.
8. If necessary, enter a note or select an automatic execution script.
   • Selecting an automatic execution script runs a script automatically after server creation is complete and allows you to configure the initial environment of the server. You must create scripts in the Init Script menu beforehand to select the option.
9. If you have completed all settings, click [Next].

3. Set authentication key

Select an authentication key you have or create a new one and click [Next].

• To create a new authentication key, select Create new authentication key, enter the authentication key name, and then click [Create and save authentication key].

4. Set network access

Select an ACG that you have or create a new one and click [Next].

• You can select up to 5 ACGs.
• default-acg is the ACG provided by default.

5. Final confirmation

Check the details, and then click [Create server].

Manage server

You can manage a Bare Metal Server and change its settings in the same way as for a regular server. For more information, see Manage server.
