Detailed test plan for IG-MON-3: GENI Active Experiment Inspection Test

This page is GPO's working page for performing IG-MON-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.

Last substantive edit of this page: 2012-07-26

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.

Status of test

Step State Date completed Open Tickets Closed Tickets/Comments
1 Color(yellow,Completed)? needs retesting when 3 is retested
2 needs retesting when 3 is retested
3 Color(yellow,Completed)? needs retesting once OpenFlow resources are available from InstaGENI AM
4 Color(green,Pass)? 2013-02-28 (35, 26) blocked on resolution of MAC reporting issue
5 Color(lightgreen,Pass: most criteria)? 2013-02-28 (26, 31) terminated experiments display format is a little hard to use, but contains the requested information
6 Color(orange,Blocked)? blocked on availability of OpenFlow functionality
7 ready to test non-OpenFlow functionality
8 ready to test non-OpenFlow functionality

High-level description from test plan

This test inspects the state of the rack data plane and control networks when experiments are running, and verifies that a site administrator can find information about running experiments.

Procedure

  • An experimenter from the GPO starts up experiments to ensure there is data to look at:
    • An experimenter runs an experiment containing at least one rack OpenVZ VM, and terminates it.
    • An experimenter runs an experiment containing at least one rack OpenVZ VM, and leaves it running.
  • A site administrator uses available system and experiment data sources to determine current experimental state, including:
    • How many VMs are running and which experimenters own them
    • How many physical hosts are in use by experiments, and which experimenters own them
    • How many VMs were terminated within the past day, and which experimenters owned them
    • What OpenFlow controllers the data plane switch, the rack FlowVisor, and the rack FOAM are communicating with
  • A site administrator examines the switches and other rack data sources, and determines:
    • What MAC addresses are currently visible on the data plane switch and what experiments do they belong to?
    • For some experiment which was terminated within the past day, what data plane and control MAC and IP addresses did the experiment use?
    • For some experimental data path which is actively sending traffic on the data plane switch, do changes in interface counters show approximately the expected amount of traffic into and out of the switch?

Criteria to verify as part of this test

  • VII.09. A site administrator can determine the MAC addresses of all physical host interfaces, all network device interfaces, all active experimental VMs, and all recently-terminated experimental VMs. (C.3.f)
  • VII.11. A site administrator can locate current configuration of flowvisor, FOAM, and any other OpenFlow services, and find logs of recent activity and changes. (D.6.a)
  • VII.18. Given a public IP address and port, an exclusive VLAN, a sliver name, or a piece of user-identifying information such as e-mail address or username, a site administrator or GMOC operator can identify the email address, username, and affiliation of the experimenter who controlled that resource at a particular time. (D.7)

Step 1 (prep): start a VM experiment and terminate it

  • An experimenter requests an experiment from the InstaGENI AM containing two rack VMs and a dataplane VLAN
  • The experimenter logs into a VM, and sends dataplane traffic
  • The experimenter terminates the experiment

Results of testing step 1: 2012-05-18

  • I'll use the following rspec to get two VMs:
    jericho,[~],05:29(0)$ cat IG-MON-nodes-C.rspec 
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!-- This rspec will reserve two openvz nodes, each with no OS specified,
         and create a single dataplane link between them.  It should work

      </link>
    </rspec>
    
  • Then create a slice:
    omni createslice ecgtest2
    
  • Then create a sliver using that rspec:
    jericho,[~],05:31(0)$ omni -a http://www.utah.geniracks.net/protogeni/xmlrpc/am createsliver ecgtest2 ~/IG-MON-nodes-C.rspec

  • Getversion succeeded, though, and after awhile, sliverstatus succeeded again.
  • According to sliverstatus, my nodes are:
    pc3.utah.geniracks.net port 30010
    pc3.utah.geniracks.net port 30011
    
  • Login to pc3.utah.geniracks.net on port 30010 with agent forwarding
  • Find that it is virt1 and has eth1=10.10.1.1
  • Find a big file:
    [chaos@virt1 ~]$ ls -l /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive-rpm 
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 99154656 May 20  2011 /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive-rpm
    
  • Copy the big file over the dataplane:

  • Look at the arps table on virt1 and virt2:

  • Sliverstatus still doesn't contain mac addresses at all:
    jericho,[~],11:33(0)$ grep -i mac ecgtest2-sliverstatus-www-utah-geniracks-net-protogeni.json 
    jericho,[~],11:33(1)$ 
    
  • The original spec for this step said to delete the sliver, but let's leave it running to demonstrate the lack of MAC addresses in sliverstatus.

Step 2 (prep): start a bare metal node experiment and terminate it

  • An experimenter requests an experiment from the InstaGENI AM containing two rack hosts and a dataplane VLAN
  • The experimenter logs into a host, and sends dataplane traffic
  • The experimenter terminates the experiment

Step 3 (prep): start an experiment and leave it running

  • An experimenter requests an experiment from the InstaGENI AM containing two rack VMs connected by an OpenFlow-controlled dataplane VLAN
  • The experimenter configures a simple OpenFlow controller to pass dataplane traffic between the VMs
  • The experimenter logs into one VM, and begins sending a continuous stream of dataplane traffic

Results of testing step 3: 2012-05-18

Note: per discussion on instageni-design on 2012-05-17, request of an OpenFlow-controlled dataplane is not yet possible. So this will need to be retested once OpenFlow control is available.

  • Not creating a new experiment here, but instead reusing my experiment, ecgtest, created yesterday for IG-MON-1.
  • Login to pc3, whose eth1 is 10.10.1.1
  • Make a bigger dataplane file by catting the other a few times, then start copying it around again:
    [chaos@phys1 ~]$ ls -l /tmp/locale-archive 
    -rw-r--r-- 1 chaos pgeni-gpolab-bbn 3149922720 May 18 04:14 /tmp/locale-archive
    
    while [ 1 ]; do scp /tmp/locale-archive 10.10.1.2:/tmp/; done
    
  • This lets me see that the first instance of the file copy takes about a minute, at about 55MBps:
    [chaos@phys1 ~]$ while [ 1 ]; do scp /tmp/locale-archive 10.10.1.2:/tmp/; done

Note: per discussion on instageni-design on 2012-05-17, request of an OpenFlow-controlled dataplane is not yet possible. So this will need to be retested once OpenFlow control is available.

Step 4: view running VMs

Using:

  • On boss, use AM state, logs, or administrator interfaces to determine:
    • What experiments are running right now
    • How many VMs are allocated for those experiments
    • Which OpenVZ node is each VM running on
  • On OpenVZ nodes, use system state, logs, or administrative interfaces to determine what VMs are running right now, and look at any available configuration or logs of each.

Verify:

  • A site administrator can determine what experiments are running on the InstaGENI AM
  • A site administrator can determine the mapping of VMs to active experiments
  • A site administrator can view some state of running VMs on the VM server

Results of testing step 4: 2012-05-18

    • Click (ecgtest) to view the details of that experiment at https://boss.utah.geniracks.net/showexp.php3?experiment=363#details.
    • This shows what nodes it's using, including that its VM has been put on pc5:
      Physical Node Mapping:

    • That last one is mysterious, because the experimenter's sliverstatus command contains:
        { 'attributes':
          { 'client_id': 'phys1:if0',
            'component_id': 'urn:publicid:IDN+utah.geniracks.net+interface+pc3:eth1',
            'mac_address': 'e83935b14e8a',
      ...
        { 'attributes':
          { 'client_id': 'virt1:if0',
            'component_id': 'urn:publicid:IDN+utah.geniracks.net+interface+pc5:eth1',
            'mac_address': '00000a0a0102',
      
    • So i think it should be possible for the admin interface to know that virtual mac address too.
    • Huh, but also, that mac address reported in sliverstatus is in fact wrong. Let me summarize:
      MAC addrs reported for phys1:0 == 10.10.1.1
        E8:39:35:B1:4E:8A: from /sbin/ifconfig eth1 run on phys1 (authoritative)
        e83935b14e8a:      from sliverstatus as experimenter (correct)
        e8:39:35:b1:4e:8a: from: https://boss.utah.geniracks.net/showexp.php3?experiment=363#details (correct)
      
      MAC addrs reported for virt1:0 == 10.10.1.2
        82:01:0A:0A:01:02: from /sbin/ifconfig mv1.1 run on virt1 (authoritative)
        00000a0a0102:      from sliverstatus as experimenter (incorrect: first four digits are wrong)
        -                : from https://boss.utah.geniracks.net/showexp.php3?experiment=363#details (not reported)
      
      I opened 26 for this issue.
  • Now, use the OpenVZ host itself to view activity:
    • As an admin, login to pc5.utah.geniracks.net
    • Poking around, i was led to a couple of prospective data sources:
      • Logs in /var/emulab
      • The vzctl RPM, containing a number of OpenVZ control commands
    • The latter seems to give a list of running VMs easily:
      vhost1,[/var/emulab],05:00(1)$ sudo vzlist -a
            CTID      NPROC STATUS    IP_ADDR         HOSTNAME
               1         15 running   -               virt1.ecgtest.pgeni-gpolab-bbn-com.utah.geniracks.net
      
    • I also see a command to figure out which container is running a given PID. Suppose i run top and am concerned about an sshd process chewing up all system CPU:
          PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND         
        51817 20001     20   0  116m 3780  872 R 94.4  0.0   0:05.74 sshd             
      
    • Since the user is numeric, i can assume this process is probably running in a container, so find out which one:
      vhost1,[/var/emulab],05:05(0)$ sudo vzpid 51766
      Pid     CTID    Name
      51766   1       sshd
      chaos      51804   51163  0 05:04 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto ssh
      
    • and then look up the container info as above.
    • The files in /var/emulab give details about how each experiment was created. In particular:
      Information about experiment startup attributes:
        /var/emulab/boot/tmcc.pcvm5-1/
        /var/emulab/boot/tmcc.pcvm5-2/
      
      Logs of experiment progress:

Earlier, i said:

Step 5: get information about terminated experiments

Using:

  • On boss, use AM state, logs, or administrator interfaces to find evidence of the two terminated experiments.
  • Determine how many other experiments were run in the past day.
  • Determine which GENI user created each of the terminated experiments.
  • Determine the mapping of experiments to OpenVZ or exclusive hosts for each of the terminated experiments.
  • Determine the control and dataplane MAC addresses assigned to each VM in each terminated experiment.
  • Determine any IP addresses assigned by InstaGENI to each VM in each terminated experiment.
  • Given a control IP address which InstaGENI had assigned to a now-terminated VM, determine which experiment was given that control IP.
  • Given a data plane IP address which an experimenter had requested for a now-terminated VM, determine which experiment was given that IP.

Verify:

  • A site administrator can get ownership and resource allocation information for recently-terminated experiments which used OpenVZ VMs.
  • A site administrator can get ownership and resource allocation information for recently-terminated experiments which used physical hosts.
  • A site administrator can get information about MAC addresses and IP addresses used by recently-terminated experiments.

Results of testing step 5: 2012-05-21

  • In red dot mode, https://boss.utah.geniracks.net/genihistory.php, i can view lots of previous slivers, of which ecgtest3 and ecgtest2 are among the most recent
  • I can type:
    urn:publicid:IDN+pgeni.gpolab.bbn.com+slice+ecgtest2
    
    into the search box, and bring up all previous instances of slivers in that slice.
  • Note that this is an exact match, not a regexp:
    urn:publicid:IDN+pgeni.gpolab.bbn.com+slice+ecgtest
    
    only pulls up ecgtest slivers, not ecgtest2 or ecgtest3. And just searching for ecgtest reports nothing.
  • As promised by the default text in the search box, searching for:
    urn:publicid:IDN+pgeni.gpolab.bbn.com+user+chaos
    
    does appear to get all of my slivers.
  • That UI shows that the following slivers were created in the past 24 hours:

  • That display shows which GENI user created each experiment.
  • The clickable manifests can be used to get the sliver-to-resource mappings. Within each manifest, <rs:vnode /> elements can be used to find the resources used by the experiment. These look like:
    <rs:vnode xmlns:rs="http://www.protogeni.net/resources/rspec/ext/emulab/1" name="pc4"><host name="phys1.ecgtest.pgeni-gpolab-bbn-com.utah.geniracks.net"><services><login authentication="ssh-keys" hostname="pc4.utah.geniracks.net" port="22" username="chaos"></login></services></host></rs:vnode></sliver_type></node>
    <rs:vnode xmlns:rs="http://www.protogeni.net/resources/rspec/ext/emulab/1" name="pcvm3-1"><host name="virt1.ecgtest.pgeni-gpolab-bbn-com.utah.geniracks.net"><services><login authentication="ssh-keys" hostname="pc3.utah.geniracks.net" port="30010" username="chaos"></login></services></host></rs:vnode></sliver_type></node>
    
  • In addition, the manifests contain dataplane IP addresses and MAC addresses for each experiment (though these are wrong or missing for VMs, per 26)

  • Note, i semi-automated getting that information from the manifest using awk, as follows:
    • Download the XML data from the page (copy/paste)
    • Find every line that starts with <interface , and concatenate the next line, which contains </interface> to it
    • Find the node assignments:
      grep "<rs:vnode" tmpfile | awk '{print $6 " " $3 " " $4}' | awk -F= '{print $2 " " $3 " " $4}' | awk -F\" '{print $2 " " $4 " " $6}' | awk -F\. '{print $1 " " $4}' | awk '{print $1 ":" $3 "(" $4 ")"}'
      
    • Find the interface data for interfaces which have mac addresses defined:
      grep "<interface " tmpfile | grep mac_address | awk '{print $7 " " $2 " " $5}' | awk -F\" '{print $2 " " $4 " " $6}' | awk -F: '{print $1 " " $2}' | awk '{print $1 "(" $2 ":" $4 ")"}'
      
    • Find the interface data for interfaces which don't have mac addresses defined:
      grep "<interface " tmpfile | grep -v mac_address | awk '{print $6 " " $2}' | awk -F\" '{print $2 " " $4}' | awk -F: '{print $1}' | awk '{print $1 "(" $2 ":UNKNOWN)"}'
      
  • Incidentally, i came across this UI (https://boss.utah.geniracks.net/showpool.php), which shows the utilization of the nodes in the shared pool. That's not bad.
  • I poked around regarding how to do these:
    • Determine the control and dataplane MAC addresses assigned to each VM in each terminated experiment.
    • Determine any IP addresses assigned by InstaGENI to each VM in each terminated experiment.

Since i couldn't figure out anything really bulletproof, i created 31 to see whether Utah has a preferred solution to this. It's possible that some of this information can be obtained from the OpenVZ hosts. However, i can't get the information for e.g. Luisa's 20 VM experiment from earlier today, because the hosts have been swapped out and back in since then. This is an unusual situation in general, but not an unheard-of one. It would be better to cache information which might be forensically relevant on boss.

This test is also blocked by 26 from being fully completed, though i expect that the relevant parts of this will succeed too, and a cursory check should be sufficient.

Step 6: get OpenFlow state information

Using:

  • On the dataplane switch, get a list of controllers, and see if any additional controllers are serving experiments.
  • On the flowvisor VM, get a list of active FV slices from the FlowVisor
  • On the FOAM VM, get a list of active slivers from FOAM
  • Use FV, FOAM, or the switch to list the flowspace of a running OpenFlow experiment.

Verify:

  • A site administrator can get information about the OpenFlow resources used by running experiments.
  • When an OpenFlow experiment is started by InstaGENI, a new controller is added directly to the switch.
  • No new FlowVisor slices are added for new OpenFlow experiments started by InstaGENI.
  • No new FOAM slivers are added for new OpenFlow experiments started by InstaGENI.

Step 7: verify MAC addresses on the rack dataplane switch

Using:

  • Establish a privileged login to the dataplane switch
  • Obtain a list of the full MAC address table of the switch
  • On boss and the experimental hosts, use available data sources to determine which host or VM owns each MAC address.

Verify:

  • It is possible to identify and classify every MAC address visible on the switch

Step 8: verify active dataplane traffic

Using:

  • Establish a privileged login to the dataplane switch
  • Based on the information from Step 7, determine which interfaces are carrying traffic between the experimental VMs
  • Collect interface counters for those interfaces over a period of 10 minutes
  • Estimate the rate at which the experiment is sending traffic

Verify:

  • The switch reports interface counters, and an administrator can obtain plausible estimates of dataplane traffic quantities by looking at them.
