[[PageOutline]] = Tutorial: Intro to Omni = == Schedule == Tuesday, 3:00pm - 5:00pm == Session Leaders == Niky Riga and Sarah Edwards, GENI Project Office == Agenda / Details == The purpose of this tutorial is to discuss in detail the life-cycle of a GENI experiment, and provide hands-on experience about how to design and conduct IP and non-IP experiments. In this tutorial, we are also going to learn how to use the [http://trac.gpolab.bbn.com/gcf/wiki/Omni Omni client] which is a command line tool for reserving resources across control frameworks. We are going to go over different type of rspecs used by aggregates and explain the life-cycle of a GENI experiment. The tutorial instructions can be found [wiki:GEC15Agenda/IntroToOmni/Tutorial TBA]. ==== Prerequisites ==== A basic understanding of GENI concepts (will be covered in the [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GEC13Agenda/IntroToGENITutorial Intro To GENI tutorial]). Although not a requirement, it is recommended that attendees are already familiar with [wiki:GeniAggregate/PlanetLab PlanetLab], [wiki:GeniAggregate/UtahProtoGeni ProtoGENI]. ==== Please Arrive With: ==== Laptop with a recent version of [http://www.virtualbox.org/ Virtual Box]. If you are unable to bring one, you may partner with someone else. ==== Results ==== After completing this tutorial, you will have a working GENI slice that will include resources from different aggregates and you will know how to design and deploy a multi-aggregate experiment in GENI. Although your account is temporary, it is a real GENI account that you can use to run experiments in GENI until it's deactivated.
