GEC19 Tutorial: Getting Started with GENI
Schedule
This tutorial spans two sessions:
Monday 11:00am-12:30pm and 1.30pm-3pm
Session Leaders
Sarah Edwards GPO |
Niky Riga GPO |
Vic Thomas GPO |
Agenda / Details
This session is for those with little to no experience running experiments on GENI. Attendees will be introduced to key GENI concepts, will run simple experiments on GENI and learn the basics of debugging their GENI experiments. By the end of this session participants should feel comfortable running their own experiments on GENI.
Pre-Requisites
None. Attendees must have done the advance work (getting a GENI account, installing GENI tools, etc) as described in ….
Tutorial materials
Instructions:
Slides:
Complete your first experiment using GENI!
Develop a basic understanding of the experiment workflow by doing a simple layer 2 experiment.
While doing this experiment, use and understand the following terms: experimenter, project, slice, aggregate, resource, resource specification (RSpec)
Do the experiment using the following tools: GENI Portal, Flack, ssh & ssh keys
Pre-Requisites
There are no pre-requisites for this tutorial.
This is the first part of a three part tutorial. This tutorial or equivalent experience is a pre-requisites for Part II.
The following background will be helpful for this tutorial:
- A basic familiarity and comfort with using a UNIX command line
- A basic understanding of GENI concepts such as those covered in the Introduction to GENI and Experimentation using GENI talk immediately prior to this tutorial
Please Arrive With:
- Laptop with a recent version of Virtual Box.
- A GENI Experimenter Portal account.
Results
In Part I, attendees will run their first complete experiment in GENI.
At the end of Part I, attendees will be able to:
- Use and understand the following terms:
- Experimenter
- Project
- Slice
- Aggregate
- Resource
- Resource Specification (aka RSpec)
- Do the complete experiment workflow:
- understand how to use their GENI Experimenter Portal account to join a project and create a slice
- know how to draw an experimental topology and reserve resources using a graphical tool (Flack)
- know how to log into compute resources using ssh and a private key
- know how to manually load software onto a compute node
- have run a simple layer 2 experiment
- know how to delete resources
