 == 5. Instantiate the new experiment using Omni ==

-When it is ready, it will give login info in terminal.  Log in to client,

-{{{
-/tmp/iperf-logs/
-}}}
+For this step, we'll change the approach a bit and switch to a new client tool: the command line Omni client.  If you haven't yet configured Omni, please follow [http://trac.gpolab.bbn.com/gcf/wiki/OmniConfigure/Automatic these instructions] now.
+
+Once Omni is installed and configured, bringing up the sliver you designed earlier is a one-step procedure.  Just enter the command:
+
+{{{
+$ omni.py -a AM_NICKNAME createsliver SLICENAME RSPEC_FILE
+}}}
+
+where {{{AM_NICKNAME}}} is the nickname for your assigned aggregate manager and {{{SLICENAME}}} is the name of the slice you created at the portal (both of these are given on your worksheet).  {{{RSPEC_FILE}}} should be replaced with the filename of the rspec you saved in step 4.
+
+
+If all is well, Omni should give you a number of informational messages, such as:
+{{{
+INFO:omni:Loading config file /home/geni/.gcf/omni_config
+}}}
+
+It should quickly proceed to the point where it makes the request to the remote manager:
+{{{
+INFO:omni:Creating sliver(s) from rspec file /home/geni/Downloads/experiments.rspec for slice ...
+}}}
+
+This step can sometimes be time-consuming, so please be patient.  If it succeeds, within a few minutes Omni should report:
+{{{
+INFO:omni: Completed createsliver:
+}}}
+
+and your sliver is complete!
