     50== 6.1 Wait for experiment setup ==
     51
     521. Please use the command:
     53{{{
     54readyToLogin.py --no-keys -a AM_NICKNAME SLICENAME
     55}}}
     56where (as before) {{{AM_NICKNAME}}} and {{{SLICENAME}}} are your aggregate
     57manager nickname and your slice name (both found on your worksheet).
     58
     592. If it reports that the sliver is not yet ready (for example, it might say that the status is "changing"), then please wait a minute
     60or two and try again.  Once everything is complete, {{{readyToLogin.py}}}
     61will give output that should look something like this:
     62
     63{{{
     64...
     65server's geni_status is: ready (am_status:ready)
     66User example logs in to server using:
     67        ssh -p 32768 example@pc1.utah.geniracks.net
     68User example logs in to client using:
     69        ssh -p 32769 example@pc1.utah.geniracks.net

     77more <tt>ssh</tt> commands to choose from (which should work, although might require the key passphrase).</td></tr></table>

     80== 6.2 Log in to client node ==
     81
     821. Copy and paste the {{{ssh}}} command lines directly into your terminal
     83to log in to either of your hosts.  While you're welcome to inspect either
     84one, for the purpose of this experiment, the {{{client}}} host is the one
     85running the {{{iperf}}} tests and collecting all the logs, so please use
     86the {{{client}}} ssh command now.
     87
     88You may get a warning from {{{ssh}}} complaining that the authenticity of the
     89host cannot be established.  This is just because your {{{ssh}}} client has
     90never accessed this VM before, and so does not yet recognise its key.  Say
     91"yes", you do want to continue connecting, and you should see a shell prompt
     92from the remote end:
     93{{{
     94[example@client ~]$
     95}}}
     96
     97The {{{install}}} and {{{execute}}} services requested in our rspec have
     98already started, and measurements are now being collected.  (You can
     99verify that things are working by inspecting the {{{/local}}} directory
     100on each host, and looking for the approriate processes with a command like
     101{{{ps ax}}}.  If you do not see the proper files and processes, please
     102double-check the {{{rspec}}} you used in the previous step.)
     103
     1042. The client machine is saving all the test results in the {{{/tmp/iperf-logs}}}
     105directory.  Files with timestamps in the names will gradually appear
     106there (there are 100 tests overall, and it may take 20 minutes for all
     107of them to complete if you want to wait for them). 
     108
     109Each log file corresponds to one test with some number of simultaneous
     110TCP connections over the VLAN link you requested between the two hosts.
     111Later tests gradually include more concurrent connections, so the
     112throughput of each individual connection will decrease, but the
     113aggregate throughput (the {{{[SUM]}}} line at the end of each file)
     114should remain approximately consistent.
     115
     116For a real experiment, of course, this step would be the most imporant
     117and collection, analysis and archival of the results would be critical,
     118but for now, play around as necessary to satisfy your curiosity and
     119then continue.
