  1. Access to FOAM.utah.genirack.net and FlowVisor requires more account creation. Also need to document to users the location of the foam password (/opt/foam/etc/foampasswd) and FlowVisor (/etc/flowvisor/fvpasswd).

Information to be documented for Local Admin

  • SSH no password for nodes
  • Telnet with password for control plane switch, must communicate the location of the telnet password to Local Admin.
  • SSH with password for dataplane switch, must communicate login ID (elabman) and password location to Local Admin.
  1. There are a multitude of host names for each component in the rack there need to be a list of hostnames provides to the user which documents which hostname is mapped to which address and the role of that definition.
