Test Plan Steps

A nick_name alias is used for the Utah InstaGENI aggregate manager in the omni_config:

insta-utah=,http://utah.geniracks.net/protogeni/xmlrpc/am

GPO ProtoGENI user credentials for lnevers@bbn.com were used for Experimenter1.

Step 1. Determine which nodes can be used as exclusive nodes

Able to determine which node are exclusive and if they are available via Omni listresources. No issues found. ListResources obtained with the following Omni command:

 $ omni.py -a insta-utah listresources --available --api-version 2 -t GENI 3 -o

Step 2. Obtain 2 licensed recent Microsoft OS images for physical nodes from the site (BBN)

Need to get InstaGENI folks to document the non-support of MS Windows and cleanup of windows references (ticket 13).

Step 3. Reserve and boot 2 physical nodes using Microsoft image

MS Windows is not verified (ticket 13) According to email from Leigh, this is very time intensive and would require weeks. Also Windows XP instructions exist.

Step 4. Obtain a recent Linux OS image for physical nodes from the InstaGENI list

Have requested the list of currently supported OS by InstaGENI. Initially only Standard 32-bit Fedora 15 image was available, two images have been added to the list of available OS in the Utah InstaGENI rack (ticket 13). Tested each images made available to experimenters, by setting up a 2 raw pc with 1 lan experiment for each image and attached Rspec:

  • FreeBSD 8.2 32-bit version
  • Standard 64-bit Ubuntu 11 image
  • Standard 32-bit Fedora 15 image (default)

Command used to determine images:

 $ omni.py -a insta-utah listresources --available --api-version 2 -t GENI 3 --available -o
 $ egrep "node component|disk_image|available" rspec-boss-utah-geniracks-net-protogeni-xmlrpc-am-2-0.xml 

Step 5. Reserve and boot physical node using each loading a different Linux OS image

Using the RSpec IG-EXP-1.rspec that includes 1 FreeBSD, and 1 Ubuntu node, create a slice and sliver:

$ omni.py createslice IG-EXP-1
$ omni.py -a insta-utah createsliver IG-EXP-1 IG-EXP-1.rspec --api-version 2 -t GENI 3 

Verify that the sliver is ready with a Omni sliverstatus command and verify that 'pg_status' is 'ready':

 $ omni.py -a insta-utah sliverstatus IG-EXP-1 --api-version 2 -t GENI 3

Once sliver is ready, check the host allocation for the sliver EG-EXP-1:

 $ omni.py -a insta-utah listresources IG-EXP-1 --api-version 2 -t GENI 3 -o
 $ egrep "login" IG-EXP-1-rspec-utah-geniracks-net-protogeni.xml 
      <login authentication="ssh-keys" hostname="pc4.utah.geniracks.net" port="22" username="lnevers"/>    
      <login authentication="ssh-keys" hostname="pc2.utah.geniracks.net" port="22" username="lnevers"/>   

VerifY dataplane connectivity for each host in each experiment. Check the FreeBSD host:

 $ ssh pc4.utah.geniracks.net

Step 6. Release physical node resource

Release compute resources:

 $ omni.py -a insta-utah deletesliver IG-EXP-1

Step 7. Modify Aggregate resource allocation for the rack to add 1 additional physical node
