Obtain Resources: create a slice and reserve resources
Introduction: Getting Started with GENI using the GENI Portal
|
Instructions
Now that you are a member of a project, you can create a slice and reserve resources.
1. Create a slice
|
Figure 1.1 Create a new slice.
2. Reserve Virtual Machines at Two Aggregates
For this tutorial, we have manually reserved a VLAN (a layer 2 circuit) from a GENI rack in Utah (Utah InstaGENI) to a GENI rack in Massachusetts (GPO InstaGENI).
Now reserve a virtual machine (VM) connected to each end of the manually configured VLAN.
In order to pace the creation of the VMs, please only reserve your two VMs when you are given a "blinking ball" by the tutorial instructor. |
First, reserve a VM on the Utah end of the VLAN. This node will be refered to as the "client".
|
Figure 1.1 Create a new slice.
Second, reserve a virtual machine connected to the Massachusetts end of the manually configured VLAN. This node will be refered to as the "server".
|

3. Check Whether Virtual Machines are Ready to be Used
It takes some time for the VMs to boot. Check to see if they are up.
|
Figure 1.1 Create a new slice.
- The rows for GPO InstaGENI and Utah InstaGENI should say READY against a green background and look as shown on the left.
- If one of the rows do not say READY, press the Get Status button on that row periodically until it does.
