| 41 | a. If your experiment worked, save your `site.txt` and `site-X.xml` files in version control. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | == NEXT! Grow Your Experiment! == |
| 44 | |
| 45 | Now that you have successfully reserved a small topology, you can now grow your topology. |
| 46 | |
| 47 | a. Make a copy of `site.txt`. |
| 48 | {{{ |
| 49 | cp site.txt bigsite.txt |
| 50 | }}} |
| 51 | a. Edit `bigsite.txt` to have more nodes in the core star topology. |
| 52 | {{{ |
| 53 | num_nodes = 5 |
| 54 | }}} |
| 55 | a. Also change the nodes listed under `[host]` to include all of nodes `2-6`. |
| 56 | {{{ |
| 57 | node_list=2,3,4,5,6 |
| 58 | }}} |
| 59 | a. Change the name of the output file (replace `X` with the value from your worksheet) to: |
| 60 | {{{ |
| 61 | output_rspec=bigsite-X.xml |
| 62 | }}} |
| 63 | a. Go back to the [../DesignSetup Design/Setup] and repeat everything from [../DesignSetup#a3.1GenerateRSpecbasedonexistingsmallertopology Step 3.1.d] onward. |
| 64 | a. How would you go about making a topology besides a star? What if you wanted to install different software on one of the nodes? |
