'''Notes:''' [[BR]]
1. Bare metal nodes are available via ExoSM only. [[BR]]
2. Bare metal node only support one OS version at this time, CentOS release 6.3. [[BR]]
3. Two bare metal nodes at BBN and 2 bare metal nodes at RENCI. [[BR]]

== Step 1. Determine which nodes can be used as bare metal, aka exclusive node ==

The omni_configuration used for this scenario includes a nick_name for the ExoSM which is used through out the steps:
{{{
eg-sm=,https://geni.renci.org:11443/orca/xmlrpc
}}}

Determine available bare metal resources from the ExoSM. 
{{{
$ omni.py listresources -a eg-sm -o
}}}  

The ''listresources'' output file rspec-geni-renci-org-11443-orca.xml has the bare metal resources at the two ExoGENI sites BBN and RENCI:
{{{
$ egrep "xcat-cloud|available now|type_slot" rspec-geni-renci-org-11443-orca.xml
      <node component_id="urn:publicid:IDN+exogeni.net:rcivmsite+node+orca-xcat-cloud" 
        component_manager_id="urn:publicid:IDN+exogeni.net:rcivmsite+authority+am" 
         component_name="orca-xcat-cloud" exclusive="false">    
            <hardware_type name="orca-xcat-cloud">      
                  <ns3:node_type type_slots="2"/>      
            <available now="true"/>    
      <node component_id="urn:publicid:IDN+exogeni.net:bbnvmsite+node+orca-xcat-cloud" 
        component_manager_id="urn:publicid:IDN+exogeni.net:bbnvmsite+authority+am" 
         component_name="orca-xcat-cloud" exclusive="false">    
            <hardware_type name="orca-xcat-cloud">      
                  <ns3:node_type type_slots="2"/>      
            <available now="true"/>    

}}}

Verify that each is available (available now="true") before requesting the bare metal nodes.

== Step 2. Obtain a list of OS images which can be loaded on bare metal nodes from the ExoGENI team. ==

The list should be based on successful bare metal loads by ExoGENI team or others in GENI community and should be available on a public web page. 

At the time of feature delivery, bare metal nodes only supported one image. The reserved bare metal nodes ran these two OS:

{{{
[root@bbn-w4 ~]# cat /etc/issue
CentOS release 6.3 (Final)
Kernel \r on an \m
[root@bbn-w4 ~]# uname -a
Linux bbn-w10 2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jun 22 12:19:21 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
}}}
and
{{{
[root@rci-w4 ~]# cat /etc/issue
CentOS release 6.3 (Final)
Kernel \r on an \m
[root@rci-w4 ~]# uname -a
Linux rci-w10 2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jun 22 12:19:21 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
}}}
The plan is for all bare metal to run the ''CentOS release 6.3'' OS, at some point.

== Step 3. Obtain 2 licensed recent Microsoft OS images for bare metal nodes from the site (BBN) ==

There is no plan to support MS Windows on a bare metal node, this test will replace bare metal Windows with a Windows VM in future test runs.

== Step 4. Reserve and boot 2 bare metal node using the Microsoft image. ==

There is no plan to support MS Windows on a bare metal node, this test will replace bare metal Windows with a Windows VM in future test runs.  

== Step 5. Obtain a recent Linux OS image for bare metal nodes from the ExoGENI team's successful test list ==

The bare metal nodes only support one image at this time. The default image is the one used to develop the support for this feature.

== Step 6. Reserve and boot a bare metal node using this Linux OS image. ==

Second, login on the GPO bare metal node and send traffic:

Exchange traffic between the two nodes:



''' Ping from RENCI PC to GPO PC '''
{{{
60 packets transmitted, 59 received, 1% packet loss, time 61181ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 17.360/34.837/1045.749/132.739 ms, pipe 2
}}}


== Step 7. Release bare metal resource. ==

Once traffic is exchanged successfully between the two bare metal nodes, delete the sliver while traffic is being exchanged:

{{{
$ omni.py -a eg-sm deletesliver EG-EXP-1
}}}

== Step 8. Modify Aggregate resource allocation for the rack to add 1 additional bare metal node (2 total) for use in experimenter test cases. ==

Not possible at this time.
