| 29 | '''Understanding the GENI AM API through a simple experiment''' |
| 30 | |
| 31 | Understand how resources are described and reserved in GENI. Learn how to customize those resources using standard mechanisms. Use multiple tools to act on a slice and reserve resources. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | This tutorial will discuss the strengths of different types of GENI racks. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | While doing this experiment, use and understand the following terms: resource specification (RSpec), sliver, and aggregate manager API (AM API) |
| 36 | |
| 37 | Do the experiment using the following tools: Flack, omni (and GENI Experimenter Portal and ssh) |
| 38 | |
| 39 | |
| 40 | ==== Pre-Requisites ==== |
| 41 | |
| 42 | This is the second part of a [wiki:GEC17Agenda/GettingStartedWithGENI three part tutorial]. [wiki:GEC17Agenda/GettingStartedWithGENI_I Part I] or equivalent experience is a pre-requisite for this part. |
| 43 | |
| 44 | ''This tutorial or equivalent experience is a pre-requisite for Part III: [wiki:GEC17Agenda/GettingStartedWithGENI_III_GEMINI Part III/GEMINI] or [wiki:GEC17Agenda/GettingStartedWithGENI_III_GIMI Part III/GIMI].'' |
| 45 | |
| 46 | In addition, the following background will be helpful for this tutorial: |
| 47 | * A basic familiarity and comfort with using a UNIX command line |
| 48 | * A basic understanding of GENI concepts such as those covered in the [wiki:GEC17Agenda/IntroToGENI Introduction to GENI and Experimentation using GENI] talk |
| 49 | |
| 50 | ==== Please Arrive With: ==== |
| 51 | |
| 52 | 1. Laptop with a recent version of [http://www.virtualbox.org/ Virtual Box]. |
| 53 | 1. A GENI Experimenter Portal account. |
| 54 | |
| 55 | ==== Results ==== |
| 56 | |
| 57 | In Part II, attendees will run their second complete experiment in GENI. |
| 58 | |
| 59 | At the end of Part II, attendees will be able to: |
| 60 | * Use and understand the following terms: |
| 61 | - Resource Specification (aka RSpec) |
| 62 | - sliver |
| 63 | - Aggregate Manager API (AM API) |
| 64 | * Customize the resources they reserve using standard mechanisms: |
| 65 | - understand that a resource specification (RSpec) is an XML file |
| 66 | - understand that resources are reserved using the aggregate manager API (AM API) |
| 67 | - understand how to load a topology using an RSpec |
| 68 | - have edited an RSpec using a tool (Flack) as well as by hand |
| 69 | - have reserved and deleted resources using a command line tool (omni) |
| 70 | - know how to specify the image to load on a compute node |
| 71 | - know how to have software automatically loaded and run on a compute node |
| 72 | - have run a simple layer 2 experiment |
| 73 | * Use multiple tools to act on a slice and reserve resources |
| 74 | - understand that all tools use common mechanisms to describe resources (RSpecs) and to reserve resources (the AM API) |
| 75 | * Understand the strengths of different types of GENI racks |
| 76 | |
