[[PageOutline]] = US Ignite InstaGENI Racks Project = The US Ignite InstaGENI (IG) Racks follow the process below to deliver experimenter resources: [[Image(Racks-project-outline.jpg)]] == Ordering US Ignite InstaGENI Racks == Please contact Scott Turnbull for quotes and information on purchasing US Ignite InstaGENI racks. == US Ignite InstaGENI Design == US Ignite InstaGENI racks are based on the [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/GENIRacksHome/InstageniRacks/InstaGENI%20Design%20Document%20Rick%202-15%282%29.pdf InstaGENI Design]. == Site Deployment == A [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/GENIRacksHome/InstageniRacks/ExampleSiteSurvey.pdf site survey] is completed by each site for each site deployment. The site survey capture all site specific information that will be initially configured for the rack, such as network details and initial local site administrator account. Once the rack has undergone the initial setup based on the site survey, the GPO works with Campus Engineering to set up and coordinate testing of the control, !OpenFlow, and campus connections, as well as site monitoring. An outline of the '''[wiki:GENIRacksHome/USIgniteRacksChecklist US Ignite GENI Rack Site Installation Checklist]''' is available that is a baseline for the [wiki:GENIRacksHome/GENIRacksDeploymentSites#USIgniteInstaGENISites US Ingite IG Sites InstaGENI Sites] installation. The GPO also executed '''[wiki:GENIRacksHome/USInstageniRacks/SiteConfirmationTests US Ignite IG Site Confirmation Tests]''' to validate the introduction of each new site by focusing on experimenter, administrative, monitoring and network connectivity for GENI Stitching. See the '''[wiki:GENIRacksHome/USIgniteInstageniRacks/ConfirmationTestStatus US Ignite IG Confirmation Test Status]''' page for all US Ignite IG sites. This page captures status as sites are deployed and validated for general use by Experimenters. Upon completion of the site confirmation tests, campus engineering will be able to fully manage resources and access monitoring data for their site. The US Ignite Project is a special deployment of the [wiki:GENIRacksHome/InstageniRacks InstaGENI Racks]. Details for each of the planned US Ignite racks site can be found in these pages: * [wiki:GeniAggregate GENI Aggregates] - Contains experimenter information for US Ignite racks * [wiki:GENIRacksHome/Operators GENI Operators] - Contains Operator information for US Ignite Sites * [wiki:GeniNetworkStitchingSites GENI Network Stitching Sites] - Contains US Ignite Sites that support GENI Stitching, as each site is validated. == Racks Administration == The '''[wiki:GENIRacksAdministration#InstaGENIAdministration InstaGENI Administration]''' page provides details about administrative tasks for the racks and available documentation for managing an InstaGENI site. See the ''' [wiki:GENIRacksHome/InstageniRacks/Monitoring InstaGENI Rack Monitoring]''' page for details about available rack monitoring features. Not all monitoring features are available on a USIgnite rack. ---- {{{ #!html Email help@geni.net for GENI support or email me with feedback on this page! }}}
