== ExoGENI Design ==

Three ExoGENI Design document versions have been made available:
||[http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/GENIRacksHome/ExogeniRacks/ExoGENIDesignv1.02.pdf ExoGENI Design V1.02 document] || Posted after the design meeting to deliver wordsmithing changes, no design changes were made in this version. ||
||[http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/GENIRacksHome/ExogeniRacks/ExoGENI%20Design%20v1.01.pdf ExoGENI Design V1.01 document] || Used for the review meeting. ||
||[http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/GENIRacksHome/ExogeniRacks/ExoGENI%20Design%20v1.00.pdf ExoGENI Design V1.0 document]|| Initial version of the ExoGENI design. ||

In response to the proposed design the following were defined and discussed on the mail list named [mailto:exogeni-design@geni.net]:
 * [wiki:GENIRacksHome/ExogeniUseCases ExoGENI Use Cases] - Eight Use Cases were submitted for discussion in the design review. Post-meeting discussions on the  mail list are captured in this page. [[BR]]
 * [wiki:GENIRacksHome/ExogeniOpenQuestions ExoGENI Open Questions] - Questions submitted for the design meeting were not discussed due to time constraints and were addressed in the mail list.

== ExoGENI Links ==

 * [http://wiki.exogeni.net ExoGENI wiki] - This site provides ExoGENI technical documentation delivered by the ExoGENI team. 
 * [http://groups.geni.net/exogeni ExoGENI Issue Tracking website] - GPO maintained wiki for ExoGENI tracking of issues found during acceptance testing. 
 * [http://geni-orca.renci.org ORCA-BEN site] - This site provides software releases, documentation and usage for the ORCA framework.
 * [http://www.exogeni.net ExoGENI Project website] - This page is under construction, content is coming soon.  RENCI maintains this page.

== Acceptance Tests ==

Although [wiki:GeniRacks GENI Rack Requirements] are the same for each of the GENI rack projects, a separate '''[wiki:GENIRacksHome/AcceptanceTests/ExogeniAcceptanceTestsPlan ExoGENI System Acceptance Test Plan]''' is defined based on the [wiki:GENIRacksHome/ExogeniUseCases ExoGENI Use Cases].  

See the '''[wiki:GENIRacksHome/ExogeniRacks/AcceptanceTestStatus ExoGENI Acceptance Test Status]''' page for test status and issues as the ExoGENI Acceptance Tests are executed. 

An [wiki:GENIRacksHome/ExogeniRacks/PreliminaryAcceptanceTestReport ExoGENI Preliminary Acceptance Test Report] was generated for the ExoGENI Acceptance Tests as of August 15, 2012.

The [wiki:GENIRacksHome/ExogeniRacks/AcceptanceTestReport ExoGENI Final Acceptance Test Report] will be made available upon project completion, this page will capture all test findings, configurations used, unresolved issues, etc.


== Rack Deployment == 

The '''[wiki:GENIRacksHome/ExogeniRacks/SiteConfirmationTests InstaGENI New Site Confirmation Tests]''' have been defined to validate the introduction of new ExoGENI sites.

See the [wiki:GENIRacksHome/ExogeniRacks/ConfirmationTestStatus ExoGENI Confirmation Test Status]''' page for overall status of new ExoGENI sites as they are deployed and validated for general use.


== Misc/Historical Links ==

The [wiki:EXOGENI-GEC13-SR Post-GEC13 status report] captures the development status post GEC 13.

The [wiki:GENIRacksHome/ExogeniRacks/AggregateSurvey ExoGENI Aggregate Surveys] is a historical page that captures the initial testing completed while the rack solution was first being implemented.  Experiments include the following: a simple 2 node experiment, AM API Acceptance test results and the GPO Development Analysis of the results.
