    1010
    11 This I&M session will focus on the key issues of interest to both the GIMI and GEMINI projects, as they continue to work towards a comprehensive set of I&M tools for GENI experimenters and for infrastructure measurement. In particular, we will consider the services and functions that can be used by both the GIMI and GEMINI projects.[[BR]]
     11This I&M session will focus on three key issues of interest to both the GIMI and GEMINI projects, as they continue to work towards a comprehensive set of I&M tools for GENI experimenters and for infrastructure measurement.  [[BR]]
    1212
    13 We will form teams that can resolve these issues.  [[BR]]
     13We will first review the overall goal to move towards a "unified experiment environment". [[BR]]
     14
     15Then, we will discuss these topics:
     16 * Support for GIMI and GEMINI I&M tools on both ExoGENI and InstaGENI racks
     17 * Use of an instrumentize script, driven by rspec extension, to configure/init all I&M tools
     18 * Options for further measurement data analysis and presentation
     19
     20For each topic, we will have a review of current practice, and a discussion of how to move forward. [[BR]]
     21
     22Finally, we will form teams for continued discussion.  [[BR]]
    1423
    1524Finally, we will discuss the I&M goals for the next 4 months, particularly how to best support experimenters and those doing infrastructure measurement. [[BR]]

     120How do we move towards a common approach to configure and initialize I&M tools, to better unify experiment environment?
     121
     122Consider:  move towards script, driven by rspec ext;  or is there a better solution?

    139141 * Now:  Both GEMINI and GIMI push measurement data objects (files) to GENI Storage Service (iRODS)
    140142 * Now:  GEMINI provides dump of mongo DB, plus separate file of metadata
    141143 * Now:  GIMI (will) provide SQLdump of PostgreSQL DB, which includes metadata

    143144 * Now:  Both use portal on GENI Storage Service (iRODS) to curate files (objects)
    144145
    145 Both:  Pull measurement data files from GENI Storage Service (iRODS) back to user workspace, where DBs can be reconstituted, and data pulled for further analysis and presentation.
