Interoperability of I&M tools on racks

The goal of this effort is to get the GIMI and GEMINI tools working on both InstaGENI and ExoGENI racks. To work toward this goal, we need to address items in the following areas:

  • Tools
    • Slice creation (Flack/Flukes/Omni)
    • Presentation/Orchestration (GENI Desktop/Labwiki)
  • Resources
  • Images
  • Rspecs
  • Configuration
    • initialize/instrumentize
    • postboot scripts
  • Testing
    • What are the basic use cases?
  • Certificates
    • Which should I be able to use for both sets of tools?
      • Utah emulab, UKY emulab, PGENI, GENI Portal

Below are the specific items being tracked in these areas for each set of tools.

GIMI on InstaGENI

Tools

  • Slice creation
    • Flack
    • Omni
  • Presentation/Orchestration
    • Labwiki
    • OMF/OML

Resources

What are the resource restrictions for GIMI? What resources are available on instaGENI?

Images

  • Create custom VM image
  • Fedora
    • common Ubuntu image not expected until July

Rspecs

  • Convert current tutorial RDF to rspec
  • Test the rspec on InstaGENI using both Flack and omni

Configuration

  • Convert postboot functionality into execute service script

Testing

GEMINI on ExoGENI

Tools

  • Slice creation
    • Start with Flukes, transition to Flack when it works with ExoGENI
    • Omni
  • Presentation/Orchestration
    • GENI Desktop

Resources

What are the resource restrictions for GEMINI? What resources are available on ExoGENI?

Images

  • Create custom VM image?
  • Which OS? Fedora? Debian?

Rspecs

  • How does ExoGENI handle GEMINI extensions?
    • Outstanding issue: ORCA is not able to pass thru extensions that is does not know about to the manifest. This includes Flack and GEMINI extensions.
  • Convert current tutorial rspec to RDF
  • Test the RDF on ExoGENI using Flukes
  • Test the rspec on ExoGENI using omni
  • Test the rspec on ExoGENI using Flack when it is ready

Configuration

  • Do the initialize/instrumentize scripts work on ExoGENI nodes?
  • Can initialize/instrumentize get everything it needs from the ExoGENI manifest?
