Lab Zero: A First Experiment Using GENI
3. Obtain Resources
Now that you are a member of a project, you can create a slice and reserve resources.
3.1 Create a slice
|
Figure 3-1 Create a new slice. |
3.2 (optional) Renew your slice
Slices and the resources within them are reserved until their individual expiration times. Renewing allows you to extend the expiration time of your slice and the resources in them.
Slices and the resources within them have distinct expiration times. You must renew both the slice and the resources separately. |
|
Figure 3-2 Renew the slice. |
3.3 Launch jFed to Reserve Two Virtual Machines at One Aggregate
The Portal is integrated with a tool, jFed, which allows you to draw topologies of GENI resources and then reserve them.
If you are on a Mac, you must us the Firefox (recommended) or Safari browsers.
