Test Plan Steps

This test was August 7, 2012.

The pgeni.gpolab.bbn.com slice authority is used for the credentials and the following aggregate manager nick_names were defined in the omni_config:

#ExoGENI Compute and OF Aggregates Managers 
exobbn=,https://bbn-hn.exogeni.net:11443/orca/xmlrpc
exorci=,https://rci-hn.exogeni.net:11443/orca/xmlrpc
exosm=,https://geni.renci.org:11443/orca/xmlrpc
of-exobbn=,https://bbn-hn.exogeni.net:3626/foam/gapi/1
of-exorci=,https://rci-hn.exogeni.net:3626/foam/gapi/1

#Meso-scale Compute and OF Aggregates Managers
of-bbn=,https://foam.gpolab.bbn.com:3626/foam/gapi/1
of-clemson=,https://foam.clemson.edu:3626/foam/gapi/1
of-i2=,https://foam.net.internet2.edu:3626/foam/gapi/1
of-rutgers=,https://nox.orbit-lab.org:3626/foam/gapi/1
plc-bbn=,http://myplc.gpolab.bbn.com:12346/
plc-clemson=,http://myplc.clemson.edu:12346/

1. As Experimenter1, request ListResources from BBN ExoGENI, RENCI ExoGENI, and FOAM at NLR Site.

Requested listresources from each of the FOAM aggregates:

$ omni.py listresources -a of-exobbn -o
$ omni.py listresources -a of-bbn -o
$ omni.py listresources -a of-nlr -o
$ omni.py listresources -a of-i2 -o 
$ omni.py listresources -a of-exorci -o

2. Review ListResources output from all AMs

Requested listresources from each of the GENI AM aggregates:

$ omni.py listresources -a plc-bbn
$ omni.py listresources -a plc-clemson
$ omni.py listresources -a pg2 
$ omni.py listresources -a exobbn
$ omni.py listresources -a exorci

3. Define a request RSpec for a VM at the BBN ExoGENI.

Defined an RSpec for one VM on the shared VLAN 1750 in the BBN ExoGENI rack: [EG-EXP-6-exp1-exobbn.rspec]

4. Define a request RSpec for a VM at the RENCI ExoGENI.

Define an RSpec for one VM on the shared VLAN 1750 in the RENCI ExoGENI rack: [EG-EXP-6-exp1-exorci.rspec]

5. Define request RSpecs for OpenFlow resources from BBN FOAM to access GENI OpenFlow core resources.

Defined an OpenFlow RSpec for the FOAM controllers in each rack:

  • BBN Rack RSpec: [EG-EXP-6-exp1-openflow-exobbn.rspec]
  • RENCI Rack RSpec: [EG-EXP-6-exp1-openflow-exorci.rspec]

The BBN ExoGENI rack connects to the GENI backbone via the BBN GPO Lab OpenFlow switch named poblano. In order for this scenario to work OpenFlow must be configured also on the poblano switch to allow the BBN ExoGENI rack OF traffic to get to the OF GENI core. The following OpenFlow RSpec was defined for the BBN site switch poblano: [EG-EXP-6-exp1-openflow-bbn.rspec]

6. Define request RSpecs for OpenFlow core resources at NLR FOAM.

Defined an OpenFlow RSpec for the NLR FOAM controller: [EG-EXP-6-exp1-openflow-nlr.rspec]

7. Create the first slice

Created the first slice:

$ omni.py createslice EG-EXP-6-exp1

8. Create a sliver in the first slice at each AM, using the RSpecs defined above.

 $omni.py -a exobbn createsliver EG-EXP-6-exp1 EG-EXP-6-exp1-exobbn.rspec
 $omni.py -a of-bbn createsliver EG-EXP-6-exp1 EG-EXP-6-exp1-openflow-bbn.rspec
 $omni.py -a of-nlr createsliver EG-EXP-6-exp1 EG-EXP-6-exp1-openflow-nlr.rspec
 $omni.py -a exorci createsliver EG-EXP-6-exp1 EG-EXP-6-exp1-exorci.rspec

Here are of the Rspecs used: [EG-EXP-6-exp1-exobbn.rspec], [EG-EXP-6-exp1-openflow-bbn.rspec], [EG-EXP-6-exp1-openflow-nlr.rspec], and [EG-EXP-6-exp1-exorci.rspec].

9. Log in to each of the systems, verify IP address assignment. Send traffic to the other system, leave traffic running.

Determine the status of the OpenFlow slivers, check the sliverstatus for each to make sure that they have been approved. Note that 'geni_status' is 'ready' when the sliver is approved. If the OpenFlow sliver is waiting for approval the 'geni_status' will be 'configuring:

 $ omni.py -a of-bbn sliverstatus EG-EXP-6-exp1
 $ omni.py -a of-nlr sliverstatus EG-EXP-6-exp1

Determine compute resources allocated to each sliver in the ExoGENI racks. First make sure the sliverstatus is ready:

 $ omni.py -a exobbn sliverstatus EG-EXP-6-exp1
 $ omni.py -a exorci sliverstatus EG-EXP-6-exp1

Once the slivers are ready get the list of hosts allocated with Omni:

 $ omni.py -a exobbn listresources EG-EXP-6-exp1 -o
 $ omni.py -a exorci listresources EG-EXP-6-exp1 -o 
 $ egep hostname EG-EXP-6-exp1-rspec-bbn-hn-exogeni-net-11443-orca.xml 
   <login authentication="ssh-keys" hostname="192.1.242.6" port="22" username="root"/> 
 $ egrep hostname EG-EXP-6-exp1-rspec-rci-hn-exogeni-net-11443-orca.xml 
   <login authentication="ssh-keys" hostname="152.54.14.18" port="22" username="root"/>   

10. As Experimenter2, define a request RSpec for one VM and one bare metal node at BBN ExoGENI.

Defined an RSpec for one VM and one bare metal node on the shared VLAN 1750 in the BBN ExoGENI rack [EG-EXP-6-exp2-exobbn.rspec]. Attached as a reference, even though it could not be used for this test case as described.

Two options were available because the Bare Metal node is only available via the ExoSM:

  1. Replace the BBN SM reservation with a reservation via the ExoSM, but this will cause the next step to fail. The RENCI SM reservation will report that a sliver by that name already exists, due to the ExoSM request. To get around this problem, one option is to replace the bare metal node with a VM, so that the requests could be submitted as expected to each of the local SMs.
  1. Replace the BBN SM reservation with a reservation via the ExoSM, but create a new slice and sliver name for the RCI portion. So the BBN resources are reserved via the ExoSM, and the RENCI resources are reserved via the local RENCI SM.

Option a was chosen for this test run, and the new RSpec used is [[EG-EXP-6-exp2-exobbn-mod.rspec].

11. Define a request RSpec for two VMs on the same worker node at RENCI ExoGENI.

Defined an RSpec for two VMs on the shared VLAN 1750 in the RENCI rack: [EG-EXP-6-exp2-exobbn.rspec]

12. Define request RSpecs for OpenFlow resources from GPO FOAM to access GENI OpenFlow core resources.

The experiment uses the flows defined by the previous experiment, as defined in [EG-EXP-6-exp1-openflow-bbn.rspec]

13. Define request RSpecs for OpenFlow core resources at NLR FOAM

The experiment uses the flows defined by the previous experiment, as defined in [EG-EXP-6-exp1-openflow-nlr.rspec]

14. Create a second slice

$ omni.py createslice EG-EXP-6-exp2

15. Create a sliver in the second slice at each AM, using the RSpecs defined above

In order the bare metal node to be part of the resources in the BBN ExoGENI rack, had to submit the request to the ExoSM rather than the BBN SM. The request still includes a VM in the BBN rack and a bare metal node.

$ omni.py -a exobbn createsliver EG-EXP-6-exp2 EG-EXP-6-exp2-exobbn-mod.rspec 

Created a sliver at RENCI ExoGENIrack aggregate:

$ omni.py -a exorci createsliver EG-EXP-6-exp2 ./exorspec/EG-EXP-6/EG-EXP-6-exp2-exorci.rspec 

16. Log in to each of the systems in the slice, and send traffic to each other systems; leave traffic running

Determine compute resources allocated to each sliver in the ExoGENI racks. First make sure the sliverstatus is ready:

 $ omni.py -a exobbn sliverstatus EG-EXP-6-exp2
 $ omni.py -a exorci sliverstatus EG-EXP-6-exp2

Once the slivers are ready get the list of hosts allocated with Omni:

 $ omni.py -a exobbn listresources EG-EXP-6-exp2 -o
 $ omni.py -a exorci listresources EG-EXP-6-exp2 -o 
 $ egep hostname EG-EXP-6-exp2-rspec-bbn-hn-exogeni-net-11443-orca.xml 
   <login authentication="ssh-keys" hostname="192.1.242.9" port="22" username="root"/>      
   <login authentication="ssh-keys" hostname="192.1.242.8" port="22" username="root"/>       
 $ egrep hostname EG-EXP-6-exp2-rspec-rci-hn-exogeni-net-11443-orca.xml 
   <login authentication="ssh-keys" hostname="152.54.14.20" port="22" username="root"/>      
   <login authentication="ssh-keys" hostname="152.54.14.19" port="22" username="root"/>       

17. As Experimenter3, request ListResources from BBN ExoGENI, GPO FOAM, and FOAM at Meso-scale Site

For the initial run only had 2 user account available, so the Experimenter3 steps are executed with the same credentials as experiment 1. Also the WAPG resource at Rutgers is available via the Emulab PG aggregate. Executed the following to get resources for each aggregate:

$ omni.py listresources -a exobbn -o
$ omni.py listresources -a of-bbn -o
$ omni.py listresources -a of-i2 -o
$ omni.py listresources -a of-rutgers -o   
$ omni.py listresources -a pg2 --api-version 2 -t GENI 3 -o   

18. Review ListResources output from all AMs

Reviewed content of advertisement RSpecs for each of the aggregates polled in the previous step.

19. Define a request RSpec for a VM at the BBN ExoGENI

Defined RSpec for one VM on the shared VLAN 1750 in the BBN ExoGENI rack: [EG-EXP-6-exp3-exobbn.rspec]

20. Define a request RSpec for a compute resource at the GPO Meso-scale site

Defined RSpec for one PG Resource at the GPO PG site: [EG-EXP-6-exp3-bbn-pgeni.rspec]

21. Define a request RSpec for a compute resource at a Meso-scale site

Defined RSpec for one WAPG Resource at the Rutgers site [EG-EXP-6-exp3-rutgers-wapg.rspec]

22. Define request RSpecs for OpenFlow resources to allow connection from OF BBN ExoGENI to Meso-scale OF sites GPO (NLR) and Rutgers Sites (I2)

Defined the OpenFlow RSpecs for the sites below, note that the BBN OF RSpec overlaps with the one in experiment 1 and is being used here:

  • Rutgers [EG-EXP-6-exp3-openflow-rutgers.rspec]
  • BBN [EG-EXP-6-exp1-openflow-bbn.rspec]
  • Internet2 [EG-EXP-6-exp3-openflow-i2.rspec]

23. Create a third slice

$ omni.py createslice EG-EXP-6-exp3

24. Create a sliver that connects the Internet2 Meso-scale OpenFlow site to the BBN ExoGENI Site, and the GPO Meso-scale site

As stated in step 22, the BBN OpenFlow flows were requested as part of experiment1 and are not re-executed here. The remaining requests are as follows:

 $ omni.py -a exobbn createsliver EG-EXP-6-exp3 EG-EXP-6-exp3-exobbn.rspec
 $ omni.py -a pgeni createsliver EG-EXP-6-exp3 EG-EXP-6-exp3-bbn-pgeni.rspec 
 $ omni.py -a of-i2 createsliver EG-EXP-6-exp3 EG-EXP-6-exp3-openflow-i2.rspec
 $ omni.py -a pg2 createsliver EG-EXP-6-exp3 --api-version 2 -t GENI 3 EG-EXP-6-exp3-rutgers-wapg.rspec 
 $ omni.py -a of-rutgers createsliver EG-EXP-6-exp3 EG-EXP-6-exp3-openflow-rutgers.rspec 

25. Log in to each of the compute resources in the slice

Determine compute resources allocated to the sliver in the BBN ExoGENI rack. First make sure the sliverstatus is ready and once the sliver is ready get the host allocated with Omni:

 $ omni.py -a exobbn sliverstatus EG-EXP-6-exp3
 $ omni.py -a exobbn listresources EG-EXP-6-exp3 -o
 $ egep hostname EG-EXP-6-exp3-rspec-bbn-hn-exogeni-net-11443-orca.xml 
   < 

Determine the resources allocated to the WAPG Rutgers node:

 $ omni.py -a pg2 sliverstatus EG-EXP-6-exp3 --api-version 2 -t GENI 3 

Determine the resources allocated to the GPO PG node:

 $ omni.py -a pgeni sliverstatus EG-EXP-6-exp3
 $ omni.py -a pgeni listresources EG-EXP-6-exp3 -o  
 $ egrep "hostname" EG-EXP-6-exp3-rspec-pgeni-gpolab-bbn-com.xml
    <login authentication="ssh-keys" hostname="pc9.pgeni.gpolab.bbn.com" port="22" username="lnevers"/>  

Login to each node in the slice, onfigure data plane network interfaces on any non-ExoGENI resources as necessary, and send traffic to each of the other systems; leave traffic running.
