| 12 | Hello Nick,
|
|---|
| 13 |
|
|---|
| 14 | My name is Luisa Nevers and I work at BBN. I am currently looking at FlowVisor 0.8.1.2
|
|---|
| 15 | for the GENI Integration Release. I have some questions and feedback about the
|
|---|
| 16 | https://openflow.stanford.edu/display/flowvisor/fv_deploy page. I followed the
|
|---|
| 17 | instructions for a FlowVisor Ubuntu package install and configuration on a new system
|
|---|
| 18 | and have run into these issues/questions:
|
|---|
| 19 |
|
|---|
| 20 | 1. Page points to file /usr/local/etc/flowvisor/flowvisor-config.xml,
|
|---|
| 21 | but file tha is delivered has different name and path /usr/etc/flowvisor/config.xml.
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | 2. Several mismatched paths are found:
|
|---|
| 24 | /usr/local/sbin/ should be /usr/sbin/
|
|---|
| 25 | /usr/local/etc/flowvisor/ should be /usr/etc/flowvisor/
|
|---|
| 26 |
|
|---|
| 27 | 3a. If a user follow the" install ubuntu package and configure" path, the instructions jump into
|
|---|
| 28 | using a password, but no instructions are given to set/generate a FlowVisor password.
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | 3b. Also missing when following the " install ubuntu package and configure" path, are steps to set the
|
|---|
| 31 | user/group for the flowvisor.
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | In the "source" sections there are instructions to generate a configuration which allows the user to
|
|---|
| 34 | set the password. Should the user generate the configuration when they install from Ubuntu
|
|---|
| 35 | package and overwrite the example provided to define a password and user/group?
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | 4. If a user follow the" install ubuntu package and configure" path and runs the example invocation for
|
|---|
| 38 | flowvisor, they will set the SSL_KEYPASSWD=CHANGEME_PASSWD in the /usr/etc/flowvisor/envs.sh file.
|
|---|
| 39 | Should there be instructions to modify this variable? Although this is in the clear and not secure.
|
|---|
| 40 |
|
|---|
| 41 | 5. Is this still appropriate? Flowvisor 0.8.1.2 reports "FlowVisor version: flowvisor-0.8.1".
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 | One more question, do you want bug reports for any of the above?
|
|---|
| 44 |
|
|---|
| 45 | Thank You,
|
