== GRAM Rack Resources Usage and Policy Documentation ==

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


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

== How To Configure a GRAM Rack Aggregate Manager To Trust GENI Slice Authorities ==
Trusted certs are placed on the control node in the directory, /etc/gram/certs/trusted_roots. 
GENI Portal Configuration is not part of the standard GRAM rack installation.

== Automatic Approval for Rack Resource Requests == 

GRAM racks are a GENI resource.   GENI is available for use by researchers from academic institutions, industry and government.

After signing up, standard GEN tools like omni will enable an experimenter to get access to GRAM rack resources and other GENI rack resources.

== Policy on Local Users within the Rack ==
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.
