I&M Design Topics at GEC16
Tuesday, March 19, 10:30am - 12noon
Room: City Creek
Session leader: Harry Mussman (GENI Project Office, Raytheon BBN Technologies)
Description
This I&M session will focus on three key issues of interest to both the GIMI and GEMINI projects, as they continue to work towards a comprehensive set of I&M tools for GENI experimenters and for infrastructure measurement.
We will first review a goal to move towards a "unified experiment environment".
Then, we will discuss these topics:
- Support for GIMI and GEMINI I&M tools on both ExoGENI and InstaGENI racks
- Use of an instrumentize script, driven by rspec extension, to configure/init all I&M tools
- Options for further measurement data analysis and presentation
For each topic, we will have a review of current practice, and a discussion of how to move forward.
Finally, we will form teams to continue the discussions.
Pre-Requisites
None
Agenda
This is a tentative agenda, which may change.
1) Introductions
8:30am
2) Towards a Unified Experiment Environemnt
8:35am
Marshall Brinn (GPO)
10min
[ 5 slides:] What does it mean to move towards a "unified experiment environment"?
3) Support GIMI and GEMINI I&M tools on both ExoGENI and InstaGENI racks
8:45am
Introduction
Harry Mussman (GPO)
GENI experiment management Step 3: Obtain slice, install software
- Now: GIMI loaded (and tested) on ExoGENI, with Flukes
- Now: GEMINI loaded (and tested) on InstaGENI, with FLACK
- Next: be able to use GEMINI on ExoGENI, and GIMI on InstaGENI
- Suggest: set goal to begin testing all combinations by 5/1; good support by GEC17
Lessons learned from using GIMI tools on ExoGENI racks
Cong Wang (UMass Amherst)
5min
[ 3 slides]: current config; key techniques; known challenges
Lessons learned from using GEMINI tools on InstaGENI racks

[3 slides]: current config; key techniques; known challenges
Discussion
Cong Wang (UMass Amherst; Hussam Nasir (Univ Kentucky); Louisa Nevers (GPO); Jeanne Ohren (GPO)
15min
How do we move towards using GEMINI on ExoGENI, and GIMI on InstaGENI?
Discuss:
- Suggested approaches
- Key techniques
- Likely challenges
- Goal to begin testing all combinations by 5/1; good support by GEC17; are there any roadblocks?
Any topics, suggestions and issues suggested by members of roundtable?
At the end:
- List of conclusions
- List of issues
- Team to continue discussion
4) Use of instrumentize script, driven by rspec extension, to configure/initialize I&M tools
9:10am
Overview
Harry Mussman (GPO)
GENI experiment management Step 4: Configure/init I&M and exp app
- Now: GIMI using post boot scripts, OMF
- Now: GEMINI using instrumentize script, with choices based on rspec extensions (ignored by AggMgr's); also used to add GN (an extra node, one per Agg, for common GEMINI services)
- Next: move towards common approach, to better unify experiment environment
- Suggest: both move towards script, driven by rspec ext

15min
How do we move towards a common approach to configure and initialize I&M tools, to better unify experiment environment?
Strawman:
- move towards instrumentize script, driven by rspec ext
Or is there a better solution?

- List of issues
- Team to continue discussion
5) Options for further measurement data analysis and presentation
9:35am
Introduction
Harry Mussman (GPO)
GENI experiment management Step 6: Analyze
- Now: Both GEMINI and GIMI push measurement data objects (files) to GENI Storage Service (iRODS)
- Now: GEMINI provides dump of mongo DB, plus separate file of metadata
- Now: GIMI (will) provide SQLdump of PostgreSQL DB, which includes metadata
- Now: Both use portal on GENI Storage Service (iRODS) to curate files (objects)
Both: Pull measurement data files from GENI Storage Service (iRODS) back to user workspace, where DBs can be reconstituted, and data pulled for further analysis and presentation.
Both: Many options for further analysis and presentation, not being developed as part of tools.
Next: Consider possible ways to unify data formats, analysis and presentation; what commonly available tools might be useful?
