Test Plan Steps

Step 1. Determine which nodes can be used as exclusive nodes

Able to determine which node are exclusive and if they are available via Omni listresources. No issues found. ListResources obtained with the following Omni command:

 $ ./src/omni.py -a insta-utah listresources --available --api-version 2 -t GENI 3 -o

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

Need to talk to Peter about licenses and Windows VM images. Need to get InstaGENI folks to document the non-support of MS Windows (​ticket 13).

Step 3. Reserve and boot 2 physical nodes using Microsoft image

Step 4. Obtain a recent Linux OS image for physical nodes from the InstaGENI list

Have requested the list of currently supported OS by InstaGENI. Initially only Standard 32-bit Fedora 15 image was available, two images have been added to the list of available OS in the Utah InstaGENI rack (​ticket 13). Need to test each images made available to experimenters, by setting up a 2 raw pc with 1 lan experiment for each image and attach Rspec:

• FreeBSD 8.2 32-bit version
• Standard 64-bit Ubuntu 11 image
• Standard 32-bit Fedora 15 image (default)

Commands used:

$ ./src/omni.py -a insta-utah createslice image 
$ ./src/omni.py -a insta-utah createsliver image ./instarspec/insta-2rawpc-bsd82.rspec --api-version 2 -t GENI 3 #

Add link to RSpecs here XXXX.

Step 5. Reserve and boot a physical node using this Linux OS image

Need to verify each of the available images.

Step 6. Release physical node resource

Need to verify each of the available images.

Step 7. Modify Aggregate resource allocation for the rack to add 1 additional physical node
