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:

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
orca.xmlrpc.url=https://geni.renci.org:11443/orca/xmlrpc,https://rci-hn.exogeni.net:11443/orca/xmlrpc,https://bbn-hn.exogeni.net:11443/orca/xmlrpc,https://nicta-hn.exogeni.net:11443/orca/xmlrpc
ssh.options=-o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -X
xterm.path=/usr/bin/xterm

# replace XX with your user index (with leading 0, if necessary)
user.keystore=/home/geniuser/Tutorials/GIMI/gimiXX/ssh/gimiXX.jks
ssh.key=/home/geniuser/Tutorials/GIMI/gimiXX/ssh/gimiXX_key
ssh.pubkey=/home/geniuser/Tutorials/GIMI/gimiXX/ssh/gimiXX_key.pub

image1.name=gec14-gimi-image
image1.url=http://emmy9.casa.umass.edu/GEC14-GIMI-Tutorial/dilip-gec14.xml
image1.hash=8cc0ebc000f2332fa51d42f14b3cae16d43518ab 

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