STEPS FOR SETTING UP

Using GENI Portal to get Virtual Machines from instaGENI:

  • 1. Reserve the resources for this experiment:
    • For the RSpec use tcp-xen-centos that has been uploaded on the GENI Portal and for the aggregate use any "InstaGENI" rack (e.g."Utah DDC InstaGENI").
  • 2. Log onto the reserved nodes following instructions here: LoginToNodes

NOTES

Note: when you try to login the nodes, you might encounter errors like the following:

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@    WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!     @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that a host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is
12:3b:a0:19:db:b8:62:46:5d:a3:e2:06:27:eb:de:e2.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /Users/shuang/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending RSA key in /Users/shuang/.ssh/known_hosts:20
RSA host key for 192.1.242.65 has changed and you have requested strict checking.
Host key verification failed.

This type of error happens when you have previously logged in a machine with the same IP address and that machine happens not to be the same one as the VM you want to log in.
As a result, this error might happen a lot, especially if you have done experiments on ExoGENI before (since it always uses the same IP range for its VMs and each VM is different from each other, i.e., with different RSA keys).
In this case, simply open ~/.ssh/known_hosts and remove the line corresponding to the IP address you are trying to login. In our case here, find 192.1.242.65 and remove that line.
Note that the nodes are ready to login does not mean the interfaces are up and well configured. Users may need to wait for up to 5 minutes after nodes are up.
