Description
The test case EG-ADM-7 checks for availability of ExoGENI rack documentation. This ticket captures the requirement to deliver a ExoGENI Software Components Identification Documentation.
Overall goal
Find documents or procedures that:
- identify the ExoGENI software components
- identify the ExoGENI software components versions
- describe system file configuration settings required by the identified components
- provide instructions on how to get information about recent changes to the rack software and its configuration.
Findings:
Item 2, and item 4 - Could not find information for software versions and recent changes to the software, and changes to its configuration. Please let me if I missed any pages that define item 2 and 4.
Item 1 - Determine the complete list of software components. Have found the Software page at https://wiki.exogeni.net/doku.php?id=public:software:start which provides a list of:
- ExoGENI Software - provides list of ExoGENI software stack components
- GENI Software - provides list of additional components (external to ORCA).
- Software aux_infrastructure - provides a list of auxiliary Infrastructure elements.
Do these 3 software pages provide the full list of components that ExoGENI uses for item 1?
Item 3 - Configuration information can be found at the private ExoGENI rack configuration page, which details:
- configuration for the management switch(8052) and server IPMI
- configuration for the ISCSI storage
- configuration for the dataplane switch (8264)
- installation and configuration for xCAT
- installation and configuration for OpenStack with NEuca extensions
- installation and configuration for ORCA
- installation and configuration for OpenFlow components
Need to compare the list from item 3 with the full list of components from item 1, to makes sure all are captured in documentation.

Agree, the pages listed above takes care of:
- item 1(identify the ExoGENI software components)
- item 2(identify the ExoGENI software components versions)
- item 3(describe system file configuration settings required by the identified components)
In the original description there is one more items that is still needed. Sorry, if I maybe missed it:
- item 4(provide instructions on how to get information about recent changes to the rack software and its configuration).
https://wiki.exogeni.net/doku.php?id=public:software:start has the overview of software
https://wiki.exogeni.net/doku.php?id=private:operation:software_updates has information on how to obtain the versions.
https://wiki.exogeni.net/doku.php?id=private:configuration:start has all the configuration procedures we have to date.
