== B. Obtain Slice ==

=== 2) Obtain slice of GENI resources, install I&M tools and experiment services ===
=== B.1 Select target aggregates ===
In this tutorial, we focus on ExoGENI and do not select any additional aggregates. In future tutorials we will present
how GIMI can support experiments on other aggregates and a combination of aggregates (e.g., ExoGENI and WiMAX).
----
=== B.2 Formulate slice topology for experiment, and build request rspec ===
We will not go into any detail on this topic since this is covered in the ExoGENI tutorial.
----
=== B.2 Acquire resources and load images/packages for I&M tools and experiment services ===
=== B.2.1 Flukes ===
B.2.1.1 Download the RDF file that describes the ExoGENI topology for your experiment with the following commands:
{{{
#!html
Don't forget to replace gimiXX with your current userID.
}}}
{{{
$ cd ~/Tutorials/GIMI/gimiXX
$ wget http://emmy9.casa.umass.edu/RDFs/gimiXX.rdf
}}}
B.2.1.2 Before experimenters can use Flukes, its properties file has to be modified.
Open the properties file with your favorite text editor (e.g., nano):
{{{
$ nano ~/.flukes.properties
}}}
Then change the file as indicated below.
{{{
# Do not change these

Now start Flukes by double-clicking on the icon on the VM's desktop.
