10 | | The purpose of this tutorial is to provide an overview of the GENI multi-campus, backbone (layer 2) network, and provide hands-on experience about how to design and conduct experiments that span multiple aggregates. In this tutorial, we are going to use the Omni client which is a command line tool for reserving resources across control frameworks. Although not a requirement, it is recommended that attendees are already familiar with Planetlab, ProtoGENI and OpenFlow aggregates. At the end of the tutorial attendees will have a working GENI slice including resources from the above aggregates. |

In this tutorial, we are going to use the [http://trac.gpolab.bbn.com/gcf/wiki/Omni Omni client] which is a command line tool for reserving resources across control frameworks. We are going to go over different type of rspecs used by aggregates and explain the life-cycle of a GENI experiment. |

| 13 | === Prerequisites === |
| 14 | A basic understanding of GENI concepts (will be covered in the Newcomers' Session) and of GENI experiments (will be covered in the Flack Tutorial). Although not a requirement, it is recommended that attendees are already familiar with Planetlab, ProtoGENI and OpenFlow aggregates. |

| 20 | '''Note''' - Please complete this step in advance, as doing it on the day of |
| 21 | the tutorial will take up a lot of time. |

| 26 | For Project Name use : Gec11Gpo |
| 27 | If you already have an account, you don't need to take this step. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | 2. Download and install [http://www.virtualbox.org/ Virtual Box] on the laptop you are using for the tutorial. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | 3. Download the VM image. '''Location for the Image will be announced soon, please check back again before GEC11''' |

| 33 | === Results === |
| 34 | After completing this tutorial, you will have will have a working GENI slice that will include resources from different aggregates and you will know how to design and deploy a multi-aggregate experiment in GENI. |
| 35 | The account that you create for the tutorial is a real GENI account that you can use to run experiments in GENI, but it will expire |
| 36 | on August 15th 2011. If you would like to experiment on GENI after that, please contact as at [mailto:help@geni.net]. |
