Detailed test plan for IG-ADM-3: Full Rack Reboot Test
This page is GPO's working page for performing IG-ADM-3. It is public for informational purposes, but it is not an official status report. See GENIRacksHome/InstageniRacks/AcceptanceTestStatus for the current status of InstaGENI acceptance tests.
Page format
- The status chart summarizes the state of this test
- The high-level description from test plan contains text copied exactly from the public test plan and acceptance criteria pages.
- The steps contain things i will actually do/verify:
- Steps may be composed of related substeps where i find this useful for clarity
- Each step is either a preparatory step (identified by "(prep)") or a verification step (the default):
- Preparatory steps are just things we have to do. They're not tests of the rack, but are prerequisites for subsequent verification steps
- Verification steps are steps in which we will actually look at rack output and make sure it is as expected. They contain a Using: block, which lists the steps to run the verification, and an Expect: block which lists what outcome is expected for the test to pass.

High-level description from test plan
In this test, a full rack reboot is performed as a drill of a procedure which a site administrator may need to perform for site maintenance.
Procedure
- Review relevant rack documentation about shutdown options and make a plan for the order in which to shutdown each component.
- Cleanly shutdown and/or hard-power-off all devices in the rack, and verify that everything in the rack is powered down.
- Power on all devices, bring all logical components back online, and use monitoring and comprehensive health tests to verify that the rack is healthy again.
Criteria to verify as part of this test
- IV.01. All experimental hosts are configured to boot (rather than stay off pending manual intervention) when they are cleanly shut down and then remotely power-cycled. (C.3.c)
- V.10. Site administrators can authenticate remotely and power on, power off, or power-cycle, all physical rack devices, including experimental hosts, servers, and network devices. (C.3.c)
- V.11. Site administrators can authenticate remotely and virtually power on, power off, or power-cycle all virtual rack resources, including server and experimental VMs. (C.3.c)
- VI.16. A procedure is documented for cleanly shutting down the entire rack in case of a scheduled site outage. (C.3.c)
- VII.16. A public document explains how to perform comprehensive health checks for a rack (or, if those health checks are being run automatically, how to view the current/recent results). (F.8)
Step 1: Shut down the rack
Step 1A: Test functionality before shutting down the rack
Overview of Step 1A
Check the state of the rack before shutting down:
- Attempt to SSH to control.instageni.gpolab.bbn.com:
ssh control.instageni.gpolab.bbn.com
- If SSH is successful, attempt to sudo:
sudo whoami
- Browse to https://www.instageni.gpolab.bbn.com/ and attempt to login
- If successful, browse to https://boss.instageni.gpolab.bbn.com/nodecontrol_list.php3?showtype=dl360 and confirm that all five nodes are up (green dot in the "Up?" column of the table)
- Browse to http://monitor.gpolab.bbn.com/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?hostgroup=all&style=detail&sorttype=2&sortoption=3 and ensure that GPO nagios is available
- If successful, enumerate any InstaGENI-relevant errors currently outstanding in GPO nagios
- Run omni getversion and listresources against the BBN rack PG AM:
omni -a https://instageni.gpolab.bbn.com:12369/protogeni/xmlrpc/am getversion omni -a https://instageni.gpolab.bbn.com:12369/protogeni/xmlrpc/am listresources
- Run omni getversion and listresources against the BBN rack FOAM AM:
omni -a https://foam.instageni.gpolab.bbn.com:3626/foam/gapi/1 getversion omni -a https://foam.instageni.gpolab.bbn.com:3626/foam/gapi/1 listresources
- Verify that http://monitor.gpolab.bbn.com/connectivity/campus.html currently shows that the connection from argos to instageni-vlan1750.bbn.dataplane.geni.net is OK
Make a note of anything that wasn't ok before shutting down, since it may not be ok after starting up, and if it isn't, that won't indicate a problem with the test.

Step 1B: Shut down all rack components
Overview of Step 1B
Shut everything down:
- Browse to https://boss.instageni.gpolab.bbn.com/showpool.php, and use the table a the top of the page to identify which nodes are in the shared pool, and which are exclusive nodes.
- Log in to boss, and from there:
- Shut down the testbed:
sudo testbed-control shutdown
- Shut down the nodes:
for node in pc{1..5} ; do sudo ssh $node shutdown -H now ; done
- Shut down the testbed:
- Log out of boss.
- Log in to control, and from there:
- Shut down all of the VMs that run there:
sudo xm shutdown -a -w
- Shut down control itself:
sudo init 0 && exit
- Shut down all of the VMs that run there:
Visually verify that everything in the rack is powered off, and physically power off anything that isn't already.

Step 2: Start up the rack on
Step 2A: Start up all rack components
Overview of Step 2A
Turn everything on:
- Power on the switches
- Power on the control node
- Wait for the contol node and its VMs to come up
- Power on the experimenter nodes
Verify that everything in the rack is powered on.

Step 2B: Test functionality after starting up the rack
Overview of Step 2B
Check the state of the rack after starting up:
- Attempt to SSH to control.instageni.gpolab.bbn.com:
ssh control.instageni.gpolab.bbn.com
- If SSH is successful, attempt to sudo:
sudo whoami
- Browse to https://www.instageni.gpolab.bbn.com/ and attempt to login
- If successful, browse to https://boss.instageni.gpolab.bbn.com/nodecontrol_list.php3?showtype=dl360 and confirm that all five nodes are up (green dot in the "Up?" column of the table)
- Browse to http://monitor.gpolab.bbn.com/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?hostgroup=all&style=detail&sorttype=2&sortoption=3 and ensure that GPO nagios is available
- If successful, enumerate any InstaGENI-relevant errors currently outstanding in GPO nagios
- Run omni getversion and listresources against the BBN rack PG AM:
omni -a https://instageni.gpolab.bbn.com:12369/protogeni/xmlrpc/am getversion omni -a https://instageni.gpolab.bbn.com:12369/protogeni/xmlrpc/am listresources
- Run omni getversion and listresources against the BBN rack FOAM AM:
omni -a https://foam.instageni.gpolab.bbn.com:3626/foam/gapi/1 getversion omni -a https://foam.instageni.gpolab.bbn.com:3626/foam/gapi/1 listresources
- Verify that http://monitor.gpolab.bbn.com/connectivity/campus.html currently shows that the connection from argos to instageni-vlan1750.bbn.dataplane.geni.net is OK
Make a note of anything that isn't ok now and *was* ok before shutting down.
