Using different GENI Reservation Tools
Slice/Sliver Expiration Times
Different resources in GENI have different expiration times. Frequently, this trips up students and their reservations unexpectedly expire.
Let's try that:
- Login to the portal
- Create a slice
- When the new slice loads click the Add resources button
- Choose the 1 OpenVZ container (IG) and the NYSERNet InstaGENI Aggregate
- Once the reservation goes through, navigate back to your slice
- Repeat steps 3-5 but this time reserve 1 OpenVZ container (IG) at the Clemson InstaGENI aggregate
- From the Slice page:
- Note the slice expiration time
- Scroll down and get the status for the Clemson InstaGENI aggregate by pressing the Ready? button. What is the expiration time at Clemson InstaGENI?
- What is the expiration time at NYSERNet InstaGENI?
Action: Send an email to tutorials@geni.net the three discovered expiration times
Access Information with other tools
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.
Let's try reserving and renewing resources:
- In the slice you created in the above exercise Launch Flack and wait until your slice is loaded. Is your slice ready?
- (optional) If you have omni installed run readyToLogin script to get your login information
readyToLogin.py <slicename> -a clemson-ig -a utah-ig
- If you have omni installed renew your slivers to expire on Monday
omni.py renewsliver <slicename> 20140127 -a clemson-ig -a utah-ig
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.
