    2020`GetVersion` is intended to provide information about the configuration of this aggregate, helping experimenter tools determine how to communicate with this aggregate.

    201201`Allocate` is used to request a reservation of resources. If the request can be completely satisfied, the manifest RSpec is returned. Otherwise, an error is returned.
    202202
     203'''Arguments''':
     204Most arguments are described on the main page. Here a few additional details are provided.
    203205 `rspec`::
    204206    An RSpec matching the [http://www.protogeni.net/trac/protogeni/wiki/RSpec GENI standard] request RSpec [http://www.geni.net/resources/rspec/3/request.xsd schema] containing the resources that the caller is requesting for allocation to the slice specified in {{{slice_urn}}}. These are expected to be consistent with the resources returned by a previous invocation of [wiki:GAPI_AM_API_V3#ListResources ListResources]. If this RSpec is in a format not listed as supported by `GetVersion`, then the aggregate will return an error of {{{BADVERSION}}} ({{{4}}}).
    … …  
    206208If `geni_end_time` is supplied, the experimenter is requesting a particular sliver reservation expiration date. Local policy may however dictate the expiration date. The AM therefore may ignore this argument; the `Allocate` call should still succeed, even if the date argument cannot be satisfied.
    207209
    208 At some aggregates, experimenter tools may call `Allocate` multiple times, to add resources to the existing reservation for the same slice. Other aggregates may limit such requests or forbid them entirely. See the Common Concepts page for details on Operations on Individual Slivers.

Other aggregates may limit such requests or forbid them entirely.

    223225`Renew` requests a changed expiration for one or more slivers in a slice. At some aggregates, this expiration may be shorter. This method applies both to slivers that are `geni_allocated` and to those that are already `geni_provisioned`. Depending on local aggregate configuration, the aggregate may only support `Renew` on all current slivers in the slice, or may permit renewing only some slivers. Local policy will dictate maximum expiration times. These times are typically quite short (~ 10 minutes initially, ~120 minutes maximum) for reservations (`geni_allocated`), and longer for provisioned (`geni_provisioned`) slivers (~ 5-8 days initially). Since these expiration times are different, typically `Renew` is used only for slivers in the same allocation state.

    260263Some resource types allow experimenter access. The `geni_users` option allows specifying login key material to be installed on the resources (e.g. SSH public keys).
    261 
    262  `geni_error`::
    263     A free form string. The aggregate manager should set this to a string that could be presented to a researcher to give more detailed information about the state of the sliver if this operation fails for a given sliver.

    320320Example actions include `geni_start` (boot a computer), `geni_restart` (reboot a computer), and `geni_stop` (power down a computer).

    323     A free form string. The aggregate manager should set this to a string that could be presented to a researcher to give more detailed information about the state of the sliver if this operation fails for a given sliver.

    345342This operation should generally succeed for a valid sliver, despite the `geni_best_effort` option. However, when `geni_best_effort` is supplied and is false, and an aggregate cannot delete all the named slivers, no slivers are deleted.
