| | 5 | == !Slice/Sliver Expiration Times == |
| | 6 | Different resources in GENI have different expiration times. This many times trips up students and their reservations unexpectedly expire. |
| | 7 | |
| | 8 | Let's try that: |
| | 9 | 1. Login to the portal |
| | 10 | 2. Create a slice |
| | 11 | 3. When the new slice loads click the add resources button |
| | 12 | 4. Choose the "One Virtual machine rspec" and the Utah Instageni Aggregate [[BR]] |
| | 13 | [[Image(add-resources.png)]][[BR]] |
| | 14 | 5. Once the reservation goes through, navigate back to your slice |
| | 15 | 6. Repeat setps 3-5 but this time reserve one VM at Clemson Instageni |
| | 16 | 7. From the slice page: |
| | 17 | i. Note the slice expiration time |
| | 18 | ii. Scroll down and get the status for the Clemson Instageni AM, what is the expiration time? |
| | 19 | iii. What is the expiration time at Utah Instageni? |
| | 20 | |
| | 21 | '''''Action: Send an email to tutorials@geni.net the three discovered expiration times''''' |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | == Access Information with other tools == |
| | 24 | All the reservation information is stored at the various `Authorities` and `Managers`, so you can access your information with any tool. You will find that different tools are better for different things. |
| | 25 | |
| | 26 | Let's try that: |
| | 27 | 1. In the slice you created in the above exercise Launch Flack and wait until your slice is loaded. Is your slice ready? |
| | 28 | 2. (optional) If you have omni installed run readyToLogin script to get your login information |
| | 29 | {{{ |
| | 30 | readyToLogin.py <slicename> -a clemson-ig -a utah-ig |
| | 31 | }}} |
| | 32 | 3. If you have omni installed renew your slivers to expire on Monday |
| | 33 | {{{ |
| | 34 | omni.py renewsliver <slicename> 20140127 -a clemson-ig -a utah-ig |
| | 35 | }}} |
| | 36 | {{{ |

| | 44 | If you don't have Omni, go back to the portal and renew your resources from there, you might need to only renew the Utah resources. |
