12 | Hello Nick,
|
---|
13 |
|
---|
14 | My name is Luisa Nevers and I work at BBN. I am currently looking at FlowVisor 0.8.1.2
|
---|
15 | for the GENI Integration Release. I have some questions and feedback about the
|
---|
16 | https://openflow.stanford.edu/display/flowvisor/fv_deploy page. I followed the
|
---|
17 | instructions for a FlowVisor Ubuntu package install and configuration on a new system
|
---|
18 | and have run into these issues/questions:
|
---|
19 |
|
---|
20 | 1. Page points to file /usr/local/etc/flowvisor/flowvisor-config.xml,
|
---|
21 | but file tha is delivered has different name and path /usr/etc/flowvisor/config.xml.
|
---|
22 |
|
---|
23 | 2. Several mismatched paths are found:
|
---|
24 | /usr/local/sbin/ should be /usr/sbin/
|
---|
25 | /usr/local/etc/flowvisor/ should be /usr/etc/flowvisor/
|
---|
26 |
|
---|
27 | 3a. If a user follow the" install ubuntu package and configure" path, the instructions jump into
|
---|
28 | using a password, but no instructions are given to set/generate a FlowVisor password.
|
---|
29 |
|
---|
30 | 3b. Also missing when following the " install ubuntu package and configure" path, are steps to set the
|
---|
31 | user/group for the flowvisor.
|
---|
32 |
|
---|
33 | In the "source" sections there are instructions to generate a configuration which allows the user to
|
---|
34 | set the password. Should the user generate the configuration when they install from Ubuntu
|
---|
35 | package and overwrite the example provided to define a password and user/group?
|
---|
36 |
|
---|
37 | 4. If a user follow the" install ubuntu package and configure" path and runs the example invocation for
|
---|
38 | flowvisor, they will set the SSL_KEYPASSWD=CHANGEME_PASSWD in the /usr/etc/flowvisor/envs.sh file.
|
---|
39 | Should there be instructions to modify this variable? Although this is in the clear and not secure.
|
---|
40 |
|
---|
41 | 5. Is this still appropriate? Flowvisor 0.8.1.2 reports "FlowVisor version: flowvisor-0.8.1".
|
---|
42 |
|
---|
43 | One more question, do you want bug reports for any of the above?
|
---|
44 |
|
---|
45 | Thank You,
|
