Test Plan Steps

Notes:

  1. Bare Metal nodes are available via EXoSM only.
  2. Bare Metal node only support one version at this time.
  3. 1 Bare metal at BBN and 1 at RENCI.

Step 1. Determine which nodes can be used as bare metal, aka exclusive node

Note that the omni_configuration includes a nick_name for the ExoSM:

exosm=,https://geni.renci.org:11443/orca/xmlrpc

Determine available bare metal resources from the ExoSM.

$ cd ..;./src/omni.py listresources -a exosm -o

The listresource output file rspec-geni-renci-org-11443-orca.xml lists the bare metal resources at the two sites BBN and RENCI:

$ egrep baremetal rspec-geni-renci-org-11443-orca.xml 
      <node component_id="urn:publicid:IDN+exogeni.net:bbnvmsite+node+orca-xcat-cloud" component_manager_id="urn:publicid:IDN+exogeni.net:bbnvmsite+authority+am" component_name="bbnvmsite.rdf#bbnvmsite/Domain/baremetalce" exclusive="false">    
      <node component_id="urn:publicid:IDN+exogeni.net:rcivmsite+node+orca-xcat-cloud" component_manager_id="urn:publicid:IDN+exogeni.net:rcivmsite+authority+am" component_name="rcivmsite.rdf#rcivmsite/Domain/baremetalce" exclusive="false">    

Verify that each is available before requesting the node.

Step 2. Obtain a list of OS images which can be loaded on bare metal nodes from the ExoGENI team.

The list should be based on successful bare metal loads by ExoGENI team or others in GENI community and should be available on a public web page.

At the time of feature delivery, only supports one image, according to nodes reserved the bare metal OS is:

[root@bbn-w4 ~]# cat /etc/issue
CentOS release 6.2 (Final)
Kernel \r on an \m
[root@bbn-w4 ~]# uname -a
Linux bbn-w4 2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Dec 6 19:48:22 GMT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[root@bbn-w4 ~]# 

Step 3. Obtain 2 licensed recent Microsoft OS images for bare metal nodes from the site (BBN)

There is no plan to support MS Windows on a bare metal node, this test will replace bare metal Windows with a Windows VM in future test runs.

Step 4. Reserve and boot 2 bare metal node using the Microsoft image.

There is no plan to support MS Windows on a bare metal node, this test will replace bare metal Windows with a Windows VM in future test runs.

Step 5. Obtain a recent Linux OS image for bare metal nodes from the ExoGENI team's successful test list

The bare metal nodes only support one image at this time. The default image is the one used to develop the support for this feature.

Step 6. Reserve and boot a bare metal node using this Linux OS image.

$ omni.py createslice 2bare
$ omni.py -a exosm createsliver 2bare EG-EXP-1-2baremetal
$ omni.py -a exosm sliverstatus 2bare

Once the sliver is ready determine the addresses associated with the sliver:

$ omni.py -a exosm listresources 2bare -o 
$ egrep hostname 2bare-rspec-geni-renci-org-11443-orca.xml

Step 7. Release bare metal resource.

Once traffic is exchanged successfully between the two bare metal nodes, delete the sliver:

$ omni.py -a exosm deletesliver 2bare

Step 8. Modify Aggregate resource allocation for the rack to add 1 additional bare metal node (2 total) for use in experimenter test cases.

Not possible at this time.
