| | 1 | == GRAM Rack Resources Usage and Policy Documentation == |
| | 2 | |
| | 3 | For experimenters, the GRAM Rack consists of |
| | 4 | * 3 Dell !PowerEdge R620 server hosts. Of these, we have configured |
| | 5 | * 1 as the !OpenStack control node (bbn-cam-ctrl-1.bbn.com) |
| | 6 | * 2 as !OpenStack compute nodes both act as VM servers (bbn-cam-cmpe-1.bbn.com, bbn-cam-cmpe-2.bbn.com). |
| | 7 | * 1 Dell Force10 S4810P !OpenFlow switch. [http://www.dell.com/support/Manuals/us/en/04/Product/force10-s4810 Manuals][[BR]] |

| | 10 | GRAM racks currently only support VM servers. Bare metal and Windows Virtual Machines are currently not supported on a GRAM rack. |

| | 12 | == How To Configure a GRAM Rack Aggregate Manager To Trust GENI Slice Authorities == |
| | 13 | Trusted certs are placed on the control node in the directory, /etc/gram/certs/trusted_roots. |
| | 14 | GENI Portal Configuration is not part of the standard GRAM rack installation. |
| | 15 | |
| | 16 | == Automatic Approval for Rack Resource Requests == |
| | 17 | |
| | 18 | GRAM racks are a GENI resource. GENI is available for use by researchers from academic institutions, industry and government. |

| | 26 | == Policy on Local Users within the Rack == |
| | 27 | There is 1 local user, gram, on the rack that can be trusted that gains access through a local clearing house on the rack. There will be one standard gram account on all racks. Experimenters must use the GENI Clearinghouse to access GRAM rack resources. |
