INSTOOLS Findings

INSTOOLS How-to

The INSTOOLS v3.3 package software was found by reviewing the August2011 status report . From the status page, users are redirected to the INSTOOLS summary page, where the user can find that the package and documentation are found at Instrumentize page.

Downloaded the INSTOOLS V3.3 package, which contains both the INSTOOLS python scripts and it supporting documentation. After downloading and unpacking the package, reviewed the docs/README and the docs/INSTOOLSf-SETUP files for additional instructions.

Set up the prerequisites which require:

  • placing the file SSL Certificate encrypted.pem and the password files in ~/.ssl/ directory.
  • creating a file .protogeni-config.py defining the XMLRPC_SERVER value.

Create an experiment. Note: this step creates a slice and assigns resources to the slice:

$ ./createExp.py -n neverslice2 -m https://www.uky.emulab.net/protogeni/xmlrpc/cm uky.rspec 
CMURI = https://www.uky.emulab.net/protogeni/xmlrpc
