This guide describes how to create and manage general bare metal servers on NAVER Cloud Platform console.
For the guide to create and manage GPU A100 bare metal servers, see GPU A100 bare metal server.

Check server information

You can view the bare metal server information in the same way as viewing a regular server information. For more information, see Check server information.

Create server

To use a bare metal server, you must create one from NAVER Cloud Platform's console. The following describes how to create the bare metal server.

1. Click the environment you are using in the Region menu and Platform menu of NAVER Cloud Platform console.
2. Click the Services > Compute > Server > Bare Metal Server menus, in that order.
3. Click the [Create server] button.
4. When the Create server 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. Select the server type.
   • Bare Metal Server (general): general Bare Metal Server
2. From the server image list, click the [Next] button to the right of the server image you want.
3. Check the pop-up message and click the [OK] button.

2. Set server

Specify server configuration information.

1. Select the VPC and subnet you want to deploy a server to.

   • You can deploy servers only to subnets intended for bare metal server use.
   • To communicate with an external private network, you must deploy the server to a public subnet so it can be assigned a public IP.
   • If you need to create a new VPC or subnet, click the [Create VPC] or [Create subnet] buttons and proceed with the operation on the page.

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

4. Set the partition.

   • Number of partitions: select the number of partitions that logically separate the disk
   • 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): disk capacity which can be fragmented within the available capacity

5. Select the pricing plan.

   • Bare metal servers only offer hourly pricing plans.
   • The fee for the server is charged even when the server is stopped. If the server is not used, 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 between 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.
   • Select The host name is set with the entered server name. to apply the host name set on the server OS identical to the server name.

7. Enter the network interfaces to assign to the server.

   • You must register the eth0 IP, and it becomes the server's default private IP.
     • Enter the desired IP, and then click the [Add] button. The IP must be within the selected subnet range.
     • Leaving the IP field blank and clicking the [Add] button automatically allocates it.
   • Apart from the default eth0, you can create 1 additional network interface. However, it requires a private subnet for bare metal servers in the same zone. The entered value becomes the additional private IP for the server.
   Note

   See the following usage tips related to network interfaces.

   • You can utilize network interfaces to distinguish multiple servers intuitively based on their purpose of use.

<example> Distinguish 10.1.1.1x as the development server and 10.1.1.2x as the operational server

• Create multiple network interfaces in the following cases:
  • When you need different subnets based on the characteristics of applications to be used on servers
  • When you designed subnets separated by purpose but need to integrate them into one server for use
• You can have up to 2 network interfaces, including 1 additional interface.

:::

8. Select the server termination protection status.

   • Termination protection helps prevent accidental termination of servers. Enable termination protection for servers with essential roles.

9. 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.

10. If you have completed all settings, click the [Next] button.

3. Set authentication key

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

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

4. Set network access

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

• You can select up to 3 ACGs.
• default-acg is the ACG provided by default.
• The setting is available only when creating a new network interface; if you use existing network interfaces, the preset ACG is applied automatically.

5. Final confirmation

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

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.
