| 38 | |
| 39 | 1. As soon as possible, e-mail help@geni.net letting us know you are running this tutorial. Doing this will help by: |
| 40 | a. allowing us to notify GMOC (GENI Operations) that you are running a tutorial |
| 41 | b. help us deconflict shared resources (we can generate a customized worksheet for your tutorial) |
| 42 | c. giving us an opportunity to answer any questions you may have and provide any needed support. |
| 43 | 1. If you don't already have the ''project lead'' permission in the portal, request it now. You can request the project lead permission via the Home page of the portal. |
| 44 | 1. If you haven't already, read through the slides (including the notes) and work through the tutorial exercise and let us know if you have any questions. |
| 45 | 1. One or two weeks in advance, invite attendees to [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/SignMeUpPortal login to the portal] and request an account from the GENI IdP if necessary. This may require some manual intervention, so it's important that people do this early. |
| 46 | 1. One week in advance, e-mail attendees information about any other pre-work. In particular, they will need to be able to ssh using a private key. Drop us a note at help@geni.net if you need help with this step. |
| 47 | 1. One or two days in advance, create a project in the portal. (Note: you must be a project lead to create a project.) |
| 48 | 1. A few hours before the tutorial, invite attendees to join the project and approve their requests (doing this in advance makes the tutorial go more quickly) |
| 49 | |
| 50 | At the tutorial, please distribute: |
| 51 | 1. one worksheet to each attendee (or pair of attendees) doing this exercise. The worksheet does three things: |
| 52 | a. it helps attendees identify the data (and not the control plane interface) which they will bring down during the tutorial |
| 53 | a. it ensures slice names are unique |
| 54 | a. it ensures each attendee (or pair of attendees) use different IP addresses and subnets. (The VLAN used in the tutorial is shared and so IPs need to be deconflicted.) |
| 55 | 1. a [attachment:GettingStartedWithGENIPortal_2rspec_130401.pdf hardcopy of the instructions] |
| 56 | 1. Use the [attachment:GettingStartedGENIPortal_130401.pptx slides] to cover the background material needed to do the tutorial |
