}}} == Agenda Details == Attendees will learn on how to use the !LabWiki tool to plan, prepare, and execute experiments in GENI testbeds. Attendees will learn these steps by creating a simple star topology in which the central node will implement an OF-based learning switch and the functionality of that switch will be verified through an experiment script. We will give an overview on the inner workings of !LabWiki, OML/OMF, AMQP, and the GENI experiment service. The tutorial is structured as follows: * [https://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GENIExperimenter/Tutorials/LabWiki/ModuleA Bring up slice run experiment] (1/2 hour) * Explain GIMI inner workings (1/2 hour) - Module B 1. describe images (tools, postboot script) 2. OMF/OML 3. !LabWiki 4. Experiment script 5. Short segment on OF * [https://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GENIExperimenter/Tutorials/LabWiki/ModuleC Extend topology (after deleting initial one)] (15 min) * [https://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GENIExperimenter/Tutorials/LabWiki/ModuleD Extend experiment script] (15 min) * [https://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GENIExperimenter/Tutorials/LabWiki/ModuleE Add flow statistics] (1/2 hour) == Prerequisites == - A GENI account, if you don't have one [wiki:SignMeUp sign up!] - Familiarity with how to reserve GENI resources with any of the GENI Tools (GENI Experimenter Portal, Omni, Flack, jFed, Jacks). If you don't know you can take any of the tutorials: * Reserving resources using Flack [wiki:GENIExperimenter/Tutorials/RunHelloGENI tutorial] * Reserving resources using Omni [wiki:GENIExperimenter/Tutorials/HelloOmni tutorial] - Familiarity with [wiki:HowTo/LoginToNodes logging in to GENI compute resources]. - [wiki:GEC18Agenda/GettingStartedWithGENI_III_GIMI/Procedure/DesignSetup#iRODs Create iRODs account] - Introduction to !LabWiki [https://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GEC18Agenda/GettingStartedWithGENI_III_GIMI tutorial] - Familiarity with Unix Command line - See "Tools" section - "Basic OpenFlow concepts". It is assumed that the attendees, already have an understanding of OpenFlow and its API ==== Please Arrive With: ==== A Laptop == How to get Help == * Always ask your tutors (tutorial helper/presenter/TA) first. They are the fastest way to solve the problem. * If you are using a specific aggregate or tool, you should consider registering in their [wiki:NikySandbox/GENIExperimenter/GENICommunity#Joinusermailinglists mailing list]. It is a great way to get connected with other GENI users and it is an excellent source of wisdom. * Send mail to the GENI help list: [mailto:help@geni.net]. * If you want to chat real-time with other GENI users and ask questions, [wiki:HowTo/ConnectToGENIChatRoom join us] in a GENI chatroom. * geni-gimi-users@googlegroups.com ==== Results ==== == Tutorial materials == Instructions: See [https://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GENIExperimenter/Tutorials/LabWiki#AgendaDetails Agenda Details] Slides: * [Powerpoint version] * [PDF version]
