1 Enabling the Autonomic Data Center with a Smart Bare-Metal Server Platform Arzhan Kinzhalin, Rodolfo Kohn, Ricardo Morin, David Lombard 6 th International Conference on Autonomic Computing Barcelona, Spain June 17, 2009

2 Agenda Motivation The requirements The solution The value for autonomic computing Summary 2

3 The Motivation Data Centers consist of 10s or even 100s thousands of commodity servers Modern applications that Data Centers run are designed to scaleout and thus require dynamic allocation of the resources The Data Centers employ management software to discover, query, provision, configure, allocate and de-allocate resources Nevertheless, there is an automation gap which is referred to as time-zero problem 3

4 Time-zero Problem Illustrated A general-purpose BIOS forces clusters, enterprise grid, or cloud, which have welldefined but limited operational modes, to be operated as PCs in racks, instead of a robust, scalable, integrated entity vs. 4

5 Time-zero Problem and PXE PXE is widely used to address the time-zero problem It allows booting arbitrary OS image Normal management layer takes it from there Management tools are proprietary PXE is static Bound to MAC, normally configured manually Dynamic provisioning capabilities are minimal PXE is unreliable and not scalable Uses UDP and TFTP 5

6 Understanding the Industry Needs Data Centers need a platform that is Based on standards DMTF, Networking Scalable Routable protocols, low-overhead Reliable Discovery and transport Secure Authentication and authorization Available at time zero Take it off the box, plug it in, turn it on 6

7 Proposed solution Use the technologies available with modern Intel platforms to expose the server as an manageable entity thus enabling the intelligent hardware and software configuration, provisioning, and management 7

8 Data Center Model Simplified node roles Resource Manager owns and manages the datacenter server repository Directory Agent is the SLP DA Server Configuration Manager is the policy enforcement server Bare-metal servers are the commodity server units 8

9 The architecture Workload Characterization WBEM interfaces for discovery and access Compiler, binutils Toolkit Firmware Management Platform configuration Better Boot Power Management Custom/ Additional Capability Infrastructure Elements Capability Inventory Standardized Runtime Environment Standardized runtime FWT Driver EFI-bootable OS (transient) or Domain0 (persistent) Developer s docs Deployment tools FWT Driver Firmware Tools API PXE++ Virtual Machine Monitor (present only in persistent mode) EFI BIOS NPTM ME Firmware Hardware ME Development Deployment 9

10 The features Runs at time zero on bare-metal platform All the features are readily available out-of-the-box on power on Does not require human intervention once it s plugged in Automatic discovery, configuration, and provisioning Uses reliable protocols Both application- and transport-level Extensible Based on standard CIM model Easy to develop and deploy custom providers Leverages modern DC infrastructure Uses stable, widely accepted technologies Enables smart policy-based resource management 10

11 Technology Overview WBEM-compliant set of protocols and technologies Service Location Protocol (SLP) RFC 2608 Reliable discovery protocol Common Information Model (CIM) Schema DMTF standard representation of manageable resources It has own XML representation (CIM-XML) as well as bindings to WS-Management Extensible Security SSL/TLS transport level security 11

12 Patagonia Lake: Proof-of-Concept Implementation SLP DA receives WBEM service registration and notifies all registered applications 3 Upon initiation, EFI BIOS passes control to Patagonia Lake in preboot. SLP SA and SFCBD with special providers are running SLP Directory Agent 2-Subscribe for WBEM services 7-Notification of new WBEM services 1- Subscribes to SLP DA to receive Notifications of new WBEM services WBEM Resource Manager (developed by any ISV) Configures the discovered server in pre-boot environment and tells the server to continue booting 11-Continues booting the existing OS (or the provisioned one) 12

13 Message Sequence Diagram Manageable Server Resource Manager Directory Agent DHCP Server Subscribe to new registration events Request IP address Start CIM broker Assign IP address SLP: register WBEM service CPU configuration provider CIM-XML: request server configuration Notify on new service registration CIM-XML: report server configuration Boot control provider CIM-XML: configure CPU knobs CIM-XML: success CIM-XML: boot to the production OS CIM-XML: success 13

14 Proof-of-Concept Overview CIM Broker SBLIM-SFCB, a light-weight low-footprint implementation CIM providers CIM_Processor extension to expose CPU configuration >Adjacent Sector pre-fetcher, aka Second Sector pre-fetcher >Hardware pre-fetcher CIM_BootControl SLP >Controls the boot sequence OpenSLP, client integrated into SFCB and stand-alone SA Linux* kernel + uclibc + busybox for the runtime All in 1.28MB! 14

15 The Enabling Technologies Intel Rapid Boot Toolkit UEFI-compliant BIOS >Certain features irrelevant to server market removed >E.g. video, UI, waiting for user input >Freed up space could be used to place payloads Payloads >These are EFI applications >One of them is Linux* >IRBT 1.0 leaves 1.28MB for the payload kexec mechanism Replaces kernel with another one We used it for fast-boot >No hard reset required 15

16 Enabling Autonomous Data Center The runtime environment presented is the first step and one of the possible enabling technologies for the future smart hardware platforms The solution enables intelligent Resource Managers that Discover newly plugged servers Creates capability inventory of the server Make intelligent allocation and provisioning decisions There are many applications >Dynamic inventory >Power-reduction mechanisms >Hardware and software configuration >Provisioning >Reliable network boot 16

17 Example application: rack-level power management Mgt Fabric (Ethernet) Display shows real-time power utilitzation Headnode (TBD) Message Fabric (IB) Intel Smart Platform 12 RC (Menlow ) 0-U, tucked away in top, side, or bottom of rack DMTF CIM RC detail Security WS Events WS Mgmt CIM Broker Security Field-level CIM Providers Runtime/Libraries SLP Discovery Ethernet/IP, Serial, (other options?) Moblin Menlow 17

18 Future work Larger flash spaces will enable new features Security WS-Security Transport WS-Management via WS-CIM binding Persistent VMM Production deployments HPC for starters 18

19 Conclusion We present a smart server platform which enables extensible representation of the server identity and can be used as the vehicle for autonomic computing use cases It provides a better solution for pre-boot environment than the existing ones The proof-of-concept demonstrates how CPU configuration can be made scalable and driven by policies 19

20 Thank you!
