    36 Launch the Flack for your slice that has been cleaned up, import the pre-saved ''4node-final.rspec''. You can also download the RSpec from [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/GENIExperimenter/Tutorials/SystematicExprCaseStudy/ScalingUp/DesignSetup/4node-final.rspec here] to your local machine, and import it to your slice.
    37 Now you should be able to see the topology on your canvas in Flack.
     36Log in to the GENI Portal and launch your slice that has been cleaned up, import the pre-saved ''4node-final.rspec''. You can also download the RSpec from [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/GENIExperimenter/Tutorials/SystematicExprCaseStudy/ScalingUp/DesignSetup/4node-final.rspec here] to your local machine, and import it to your slice.
     37Now you should be able to see the topology on your canvas on the Portal.

    41 We will select three InstaGENI aggregates that support stitching links from the [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GeniNetworkStitchingSites GENIStitchingSites], so that the ''client'' and ''router-1'' are from ''wisconsin-ig'', ''router-2'' and ''router-4'' are from ''nysernet-ig'', and ''router-3'' and the ''server'' are from ''illinois-ig''. Here we show how to change aggregate for ''router-1'' using Flack. Click [[Image(GENIExperimenter/Tutorials/SystematicExprCaseStudy/ScalingUp/DesignSetup:info.jpg)]] to open node property information, in the '''Manager''' field, select ''instageni.wisc.edu'' from the pull-down list, and apply the updates. Similarly, change the aggregates for the rest of the nodes. Note that, the '''Manager''' refers to the aggregate.
     41We will select two InstaGENI aggregates that support stitching links from the [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GeniNetworkStitchingSites GENIStitchingSites], so that the ''Client'',''router-1'' and ''router-2'' are in the same aggregate; ''router-2'' ,''router-4'' and ''Server''  are in the same aggregate. Here we show how to add an aggregate on the Portal.Click on the ''Site'' button on the dashboard and drag it onto the canvas. Now drag the desired nodes such as ''router-1'',''router-2'' and ''Client'' into the new site.

     45Your canvas should look similar to the following image.

    54 If you use "Name" instead of "URL" to the regular "Ubuntu 12.04" disk image for the client and server before, you need to re-select the "Ubuntu 12.04" for the client and server after changing the aggregates. You do not need to do this for the routers, because use the URL of the custom image. For example, we change the aggregate for the client node from "stanford-ig" to "wisconsin-ig", so we also need to reselect the advertise image again, so that the disk image name shown in the field is "instageni.wisc.edu", which is consistent with "wisconsin-ig" aggregate.

     53= 2. Get Resource Using Portal =
     54
     55You can reserve multi-aggregate topologies using the '''Reserve Resources''' button on the Portal.

    67 
    68 == b. Change Link Types ==
    69 
    70 Now we have three aggregates selected, the link types between nodes are changed to '''gre-tunnel'''.
    71 
    72 [[Image(GENIExperimenter/Tutorials/SystematicExprCaseStudy/ScalingUp/DesignSetup:4node-3aggregates-gre.png)]]
    73 
    74 So we need to update the type of links between different aggregates to be '''stitched''' links, which are ''gre-tunnel0'', ''gre-tunnel1'', ''gre-tunnel2'', ''gre-tunnel3'' in the original topology, and the rest of ''gre-tunnel#'' need to be changed back to ''lan#'' type. We show how to change link type for ''gre-tunnel1'' here. Click [[Image(GENIExperimenter/Tutorials/SystematicExprCaseStudy/ScalingUp/DesignSetup:info.jpg)]] to open link ''gre-tunnel0'' property information. Select '''stitched''' from the pull-down list at the '''Type''' field, apply the update. Similarly, update the link type for the other '''gre-tunnel''' links.
    75 
    76 [[Image(GENIExperimenter/Tutorials/SystematicExprCaseStudy/ScalingUp/DesignSetup:change-link-type.png)]]
    77 
    78 
    79 Similarly, update the link type for the other '''gre-tunnel''' links, and you will see the topology now looks like:
    80 
    81 [[Image(GENIExperimenter/Tutorials/SystematicExprCaseStudy/ScalingUp/DesignSetup:4node-stitching.png)]]
    82 
    83 Export the request RSpec to your local machine, save it as `4node-stitching.rspec`.
    84 
    85 == c. Edit New RSpec ==
    86 
    87 Now open the RSpec file `4node-stitching.rspec`, and we need to do some small editing locally first.
    88 
    89 Recall that we have changed the link type and aggregate type, the RSpec still keeps the information about `stanford-ig`, which we are not using it any more, so we need to manually delete this information from the RSpec, otherwise,  we will see errors when requesting resources.
    90 
    91 For example, the `stitched0` link has three `component_manager` tags, and the one has name "urn:publicid:IDN+instageni.stanford.edu+authority+cm" is not needed. Also, we need to reduce the capacity down to less than 20000, it is 100000 by default.
    92 {{{
    93 <link client_id="stitched0">
    94     <flack:link_info x="-1" y="-1" unboundVlantag="true" xmlns="http://www.protogeni.net/resources/rspec/ext/flack/1"/>
    95     <flack:link_info x="-1" y="-1" unboundVlantag="true" xmlns="http://www.protogeni.net/resources/rspec/ext/flack/1"/>
    96     <component_manager name="urn:publicid:IDN+instageni.wisc.edu+authority+cm"/>
    97     <component_manager name="urn:publicid:IDN+instageni.nysernet.org+authority+cm"/>
    98     <component_manager name="urn:publicid:IDN+instageni.stanford.edu+authority+cm"/>
    99     <interface_ref client_id="xen-0:if0"/>
    100     <interface_ref client_id="xen:if0"/>
    101     <property source_id="xen-0:if0" dest_id="xen:if0" capacity="100000"/>
    102     <property source_id="xen:if0" dest_id="xen-0:if0" capacity="100000"/>
    103     <flack:link_info x="526" y="405" unboundVlantag="true"/>
    104   </link>
    105 }}}
    106 
    107 So, for each link block in the `4node-stitching.rspec` file, delete the following line, and update the capacity from 100000 to 10000, then save the file.
    108 
    109 {{{
    110 <component_manager name="urn:publicid:IDN+instageni.stanford.edu+authority+cm"/>
    111 }}}
    112 
    113 Now the link block for stitched0 should look like:
    114 {{{
    115   <link client_id="stitched0">
    116     <flack:link_info x="-1" y="-1" unboundVlantag="true" xmlns="http://www.protogeni.net/resources/rspec/ext/flack/1"/>
    117     <flack:link_info x="-1" y="-1" unboundVlantag="true" xmlns="http://www.protogeni.net/resources/rspec/ext/flack/1"/>
    118     <component_manager name="urn:publicid:IDN+instageni.wisc.edu+authority+cm"/>
    119     <component_manager name="urn:publicid:IDN+instageni.nysernet.org+authority+cm"/>
    120     <interface_ref client_id="xen-0:if0"/>
    121     <interface_ref client_id="xen:if0"/>
    122     <property source_id="xen-0:if0" dest_id="xen:if0" capacity="10000"/>
    123     <property source_id="xen:if0" dest_id="xen-0:if0" capacity="10000"/>
    124     <flack:link_info x="526" y="405" unboundVlantag="true"/>
    125   </link>
    126 }}}
    127 
    128 It is very important to note that '''DO NOT SUBMIT''' VM reservation request in Flack.  We will use a command line tool called '''stitcher''' to request resources in the next step.
    129 
    130 = 2. Get Resource Using Stitcher =
    131 You have two options for reserving multi-aggergate topologies: the Portal and `stitcher`.
    132 == a. Get Resource Using the Portal ==
    133 You can reserve multi-aggregate topologies using the '''Add Resources''' button on the Portal.
    134 
    135 == b. Get Resource Using Stitcher ==
    136 Stitcher is a command line tool to get resources, including create VM slivers and stitched links. We run stitcher from command line to get resources by providing the RSpec file `4node-stitching.rspec` just created. To run stitcher, you need to install `omni` tool.
    137 
    138 The command is:
    139 {{{
    140 $stitcher --logconfig <path to stitcher_logging.conf> createsliver <slicename> <path to your rspec>
    141 }}}
    142 
    143 The option `"--logconfig"` is not necessary, but if you see message like "WARNING:root:Failed to find log config file /Applications/omniTools-2.6/stitcher.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python27.zip/gcf/stitcher_logging.conf", you may need to manually download [http://groups.geni.net/geni/raw-attachment/wiki/GENIExperimenter/Tutorials/SystematicExprCaseStudy/ScalingUp/DesignSetup/stitcher_logging.conf stitcher_logging.conf] to your local system.
    144 
    145 If you successfully run stitcher, you will see similar output as below:
