RSpecs: ExoSM Ad includes proper stitching extension

[ahelsing@bbn.com]

ExoSM (not individual racks) should include a propert stitching extension - once, with a single aggregate.

Per Ilia, this is hard and possibly not possible.

Stitching extension rules:

-Identify all mainBody:link elements which have a link->interface_ref component_id which is for an External Aggregate.'
-A stitch:node element must be created for each of the nodes associated with the above identified mainBody:link elements
    Note:  only the mainBody:node elements which are part of a connection to an External Aggregate must be included
                in the Stitching Extension.  However, Aggregates may include other mainBody:node elements if they desire.
-The stitch:node elements are populated as follows described below:
   --stitch:node id==mainBody:node component_id
   --stitch:port id==mainBody:link->interface_ref component_id (which equals a node->interface component_id)
   --stitch:link id==stitch:portid with ":some-descriptive-term" appended
   --stitch:remoteLinkId==the stitch:link id from the External Aggregate stitching extension
-both of the peering Aggregates need to point to each other in consistent manner with  their stitch:link and stitch:remoteLinkId elements

1. There is now only one stitching extension per document
2. I removed the extraneous dead-end domain that defined intra-rack vlans, however there is now an additional domain on same ports that shows bare-metal node resources (ie there are two aggregates on same switch ports - one for VMs and one for baremetal nodes). This will not be easily fixed.

Can you attach an example of the new Ad RSpec?

Can you give me some pseudo code for how a tool should determine the connectivity graph, given there are now 2 agregates on that share a switch-port?

Thanks.

Sample rspec for a single rack.

[ahelsing@bbn.com]

This rspec does not pass rspeclint.

See Ticket #55 to correct the schemaLocation

Once I do that, I get:

Line 2: Failed validation with root at element: Schemas validity error : Element '{http://www.geni.net/resources/rspec/3}hardware_type': The attribute 'name' is required but missing.

I believe that's the example where you have <hardware_type />

Once I fix that, I get:

: ns2:stitching

That first error is because you left off the schemaLocation for the ns3 extension. After that, these are errors in your stitching extension.

You list 3 aggregates in your stitching extension: vm, vlan, and baremetal - one per node. I think these should be 3 nodes in a single aggregate element.

Your aggregate elements need an 'id' and 'url'.

Your stich->node->port id is identical to the stitch-node->port->link ID, but should be different I think. Leave off the extra ":41-50" of the port id, making it identical to the node->interface->component_id from the main body, per Tom's instructions.

It should now pass rspeclint.

[ahelsing@bbn.com]

rspeclint does indeed pass.

There should be 1 aggregate with multiple nodes.

Your stich->node->port id is identical to the stitch-node->port->link ID, but should be different I think. Leave off the extra ":41-50" of the port id, making it identical to the node->interface->component_id from the main body, per Tom's instructions.
