- Reserve a single xen node at the aggregate you are using for your experiment. (The "1 Xen VM (IG)" RSpec in the GENI Portal.)
- Login to your node using ssh.
- Install Ansible on this node. Following the instructions for Ubuntu and repeated here for convenience.
$ sudo apt-get install software-properties-common $ sudo apt-get install python-software-properties $ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ansible/ansible $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install ansible
- Run
ssh-keygen
to generate a new key pair. When prompted save the key in a fileansiblekey
. - Start your ssh agent (enter your passphrase when prompted):
$ ssh-agent bash $ ssh-add ~/ansiblekey
- Copy the public key onto your local machine (TBD).
- Upload the public key to your account on the GENI Portal via the Profile page.
