     80geni@GEC16-Tutorials:~$ omni-configure.py -f portal
     81}}}
     82
     83== Look around the omni_config file  ==
     84Open the file `~/.gcf/omni_config` using either vim or emacs. Close to the top of the file you will see two parameters called `default_cf` and `users`. Your username should be at least listed in the user section. Look for the sections in the file that are named `[pgch]` and  `[<username>]`.
     85
     86In the `[<username>]` section, the information need for logging-in to reserved compute resources are provided. It includes your unique user URN and a public key that would be uploaded to the hosts that you reserve.
     87
     88In the `[pgch]` section you configure Omni to use your personal information. The cert and the key attribute point to files that we have manually downloaded from the portal.
     89
     90Another interesting section to look at is the `[aggregate-nicknames]` sections. Flack already knows the URL for all the AMs and present you a list of AMs to choose from using a short, descriptive name. In Omni a user is required to pass the URL for each call to the GENI AM API. In this section the user gets a chance to provide short descriptive names to the URLs that are easier to memorize and use.
     91
     92== Test Omni setup ==
     93In order to test that our configuration is correct, you can issue a `getversion`
     94command. For this step we have used ProtoGENI's AM, but you can use any
     95Aggregate Manager(AM).
     96  i. In the terminal type:
     97  {{{
     98omni.py getversion -a ig-gpo
     99}}}
     100  In GENI each AM can be contacted using a specific URL. In order to make it
     101  easier to talk to AMs, Omni uses nicknames; i.e. it maps each URL into an easy
     102  to remember nickname.  Nicknames are defined in each user's omni_config file.
     103
     104  For the rest of the tutorial we are going to use aggregate nicknames.
     105
     106=  Obtain Resources =
     107In this step we are going to setup a sample GENI experiment, in order to
     108get familiarized with most of the Omni commands.
     109
     110== Create and renew a slice ==
     111The first thing to do when preparing to run a GENI experiment is to create a
     112slice.
     113  i. To create a slice type, use as `<slicename>` omniXXX, where XXX are your initials. :
     114  {{{
     115  omni.py createslice <slicename>
     116  }}}
     117  ii. To verify that your slice has been created and in general to keep track of
     118  your slices, use the `listmyslices`. You can figure out your username under the `Profile` tab. Type:
     119  {{{
     120  omni.py listmyslices <username>
     121  }}}
     122  iii. Renew your slice. To extend the lifetime of your slice type:
     123  {{{
     124  omni.py renewslice <slicename> YYYYMMDD
     125  }}}
     126
     127==  Reserve resources, a.k.a create a sliver ==
     128The next step in a GENI experiment is to actually reserve resources. For this
     129experiment we are going to use the Aggregate manager of ProtoGENI in Utah.
     130  i. In Omni in order to see what each AM offers you can use the
     131  `listresources` command. Type:
     132   {{{
     133 omni.py listresources -a pg-utah -o
     134}}}
     135  The `-o` option will save the output to a file. The filename is chosen by Omni and printed as part of the output. The output will look like :
     136  {{{
     137geni@GEC16-Tutorials:~$ omni.py listresources -a pg-utah -o

     161INFO:omni: ============================================================
     162}}}
     163  In the last line of the output Omni will tell you the name of the file that output is saved at. In the example above this would be `rspec-www-emulab-net-protogeniv2.xml`. Open the file that Omni saved and just take a look to see how an advertisement RSpec looks like.
     164  In order to see only available resources type
     165  {{{
     166  omni.py listresources -a pg-utah --available -o
     167  }}}
     168  i. To be able to reserve resources you will need to craft a request rspec.
     169  For this example we have created the rspec for you, use this rspec URL :[[BR]]
     170http://www.gpolab.bbn.com/experiment-support/HelloGENI/hellogeni.rspec . Type :
     171  {{{
     172  omni.py createsliver -a pg-utah <slicename> <rspec_url>
     173  }}}
     174 
     175  i. Look at your reserved resources. Type:
     176  {{{
     177  omni.py listresources -a pg-utah <slicename>
     178  }}}
     179  i. Extend the lifetime of your sliver:
     180  {{{
     181omni.py renewsliver -a pg-utah <slicename> YYYYMMDD
     182  }}}
     183  i. Check the status of your resources. Type:
     184  {{{
     185  omni.py sliverstatus -a pg-utah <slicename>
     186  }}}
     187  The `sliverstatus` command reports the status of your overall GENI slice. When
     188  the status is ready we are ready to continue to the next step.
