Instructions for using the GEC14 Tutorial VM for GEMINI
Loggin in
Login information for the VM should be in the email that was sent with the download information.
Email Jeanne if you cannot find it.
Once you are on the VM, you can access the credentials directly in the directory:
/home/geniuser/Tutorials/GEMINI.
There is a directory for each user. The ssh
directory contains the certificates and keys.
Pick a user and use the associated password send in a previous email.
Place this password in the file /home/geniuser/.ssl/password
Creating the slice
- If you are using Flack (there is currently a bug being fixed here), log in as the tutorial user that you chose
(don't forget to log into the SA first: pgeni.gpolab.bbn.com). There are bookmarks for both in the Firefox toolbar.
- If you are using omni, cd to the directory for your user (~/Tutorials/GEMINI/<username>)
You can run omni commands directly from here and it will use the omni_config in that directory.
- If you are using protogeni test scripts, you can find them in /opt/protogeni.
Use the -f option to specify the path to the certificate (/home/geniuser/Tutorials/GEMINI/<username>/ssh/<username>.pem)
Running instrumentize script
- Make sure you have the most up-to-date scripts by running "git pull" in the directory ~/src/UW.
- Before running instrumentize.py, you will want to start the ssh-agent and add your key to the agent using the following commands:
$ ssh-agent -s $ ssh-add /home/geniuser/Tutorials/GEMINI/<username>/ssh/<username>_key
This will keep it from continuously prompting you for the password.
- You can then run instrumentize.py from the directory /home/geniuser/Tutorials/GEMINI/common
instrumentize.py -f /home/geniuser/Tutorials/GEMINI/geminiXX/ssh/geminiXX_key -n geminXXslice
Accessing the portal
Before accessing the portal, add your certificate to the browser using these instructions
Using iRODS
Before using iRODS, you will need to configure /home/geniuser/.irods/.irodsEnv replacing thisIrodsUser with your tutorial username.
You can then run iinit to store the password so you are not prompted each time.
Issues?
Notify Jeanne if you run into any issues.
