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 ​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 TBA?.

Prerequisites

A basic understanding of GENI concepts (will be covered in the ​TBA). Although not a requirement, it is recommended that attendees are already familiar with PlanetLab, ProtoGENI.

Please Arrive With:

Laptop with a recent version of ​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. If you would like to get a permanent account, please contact us at ​help@geni.net.
