| | 15 | An [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/GENIRacksHome/InstageniRacks/InstaGENI%20Design%20Document%20Rick%202-15%282%29.pdf InstaGENI Design Document] is available. |
| | 16 | HP also published [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GENIRacksHome/InstageniMfg detailed manufacturing documentation]. |
| | 17 | |
| | 18 | In response to the proposed design the following were discussed on the mail list [mailto:instageni-design@geni.net]: |
| | 19 | |
| | 20 | * [wiki:GENIRacksHome/InstageniUseCases InstaGENI Use Cases] - Nine Use Cases were submitted for discussion in the design review, discussions are captured in this page. [[BR]] |
| | 21 | * [wiki:GENIRacksHome/InstageniOpenQuestions InstaGENI Open Questions] - Page capturing InstaGENI design question discussed at Design meeting and on the mail list. |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | == InstaGENI Links == |
| | 24 | |
| | 25 | * [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/INSTAGENI InstaGENI Project page] |
| | 26 | |
| | 27 | == Acceptance Tests == |
| | 28 | |
| | 29 | Although [wiki:GeniRacks GENI Rack Requirements] are the same for each of the GENI rack projects, a separate '''[wiki:GENIRacksHome/AcceptanceTests/InstageniAcceptanceTestsPlan InstaGENI System Acceptance Test Plan]''' is defined and is also based on the [wiki:GENIRacksHome/InstageniUseCases InstaGENI Use Cases]. |
| | 30 | |
| | 31 | See the '''[wiki:GENIRacksHome/InstageniRacks/AcceptanceTestStatus InstaGENI Acceptance Test Status]''' page for test status and issues as the InstaGENI Acceptance Tests are executed. |
| | 32 | |
| | 33 | The [wiki:GENIRacksHome/InstageniRacks/AcceptanceTestReport InstaGENI Acceptance Test Report] will be made available upon project completion, this page will capture all test findings, configurations used, unresolved issues, etc. |
| | 34 | |
| | 35 | |
| | 36 | == Site Deployment == |
| | 37 | |
| | 38 | A [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/GENIRacksHome/InstageniRacks/ExampleSiteSurvey.pdf site survey] is completed by each site for each site deployment. The site survey capture all site specific information that will be initially configured for the rack, such as network details and initial local site administrator account. Once the rack has undergone the initial setup based on the site survey, the GPO works with Campus Engineering and the InstaGENI Rack Team to set up and coordinate testing of the control, !OpenFlow, and campus connections, as well as site monitoring. An outline of the '''[wiki:GENIRacksHome/RacksChecklist GENI Rack Site Installation Checklist]''' is available that is a baseline for the [wiki:GENIRacksHome/GENIRacksDeploymentSites#InstaGENISites InstaGENI Sites] installation. |
| | 39 | |
| | 40 | The GPO also executed '''[wiki:GENIRacksHome/InstageniRacks/SiteConfirmationTests InstaGENI New Site Confirmation Tests]''' to validate the introduction of each new InstaGENI site. See the '''[wiki:GENIRacksHome/InstageniRacks/ConfirmationTestStatus InstaGENI Confirmation Test Status]''' page for all new InstaGENI sites. This page captures status as sites are deployed and validated for general use by Experimenters. Upon completion of the site confirmation tests, campus engineering will be able to fully manage resources and access monitoring data for their site. |
| | 41 | |
| | 42 | InstaGENI sites are also being configured to support GENI Network Stitching, for a list of operational InstaGENI sites that support stitching see the [wiki:GeniNetworkStitchingSites GENI Network Stitching Sites] page. |
| | 43 | |
| | 44 | The GPO additionally creates a test slice that run continuously even after the confirmation tests. This slice is part of the Plastic Slices measurements experiment and collects measurement data that can be found [wiki:PlasticSlices here]. |
| | 45 | |
| | 46 | '''[wiki:GENIRacksHome/InstageniRacks/Operators Operators]''' information is available for InstaGENI Rack that capture sites connectivity details. |
| | 47 | |
| | 48 | == Racks Administration == |
| | 49 | |
| | 50 | The '''[wiki:GENIRacksAdministration#InstaGENIAdministration InstaGENI Administration]''' page provides details about administrative tasks for the racks and available documentation for managing an InstaGENI site. |
| | 51 | |
| | 52 | See the ''' [wiki:GENIRacksHome/InstageniRacks/Monitoring InstaGENI Rack Monitoring]''' page for details about available rack monitoring features. |
| | 53 | |
| | 54 | Additional help is available by contacting us at help@geni.net or at the real-time public IRC chat room chat.freenode.net channel #geni, see HowTo/ConnectToGENIChatRoom for details. |
| | 55 | |
| | 56 | == !Misc/Historical Links == |
| | 57 | |
| | 58 | The [wiki:GENIRacksHome/InstageniRacks/AggregateSurvey InstaGENI Aggregate Surveys] is a historical page that captures the initial testing completed while the rack solution was first being implemented. Experiments included: a simple 2 node experiment, AM API Acceptance test results and the GPO Development Analysis of the results. |
