}}} === 2) Obtain slice of GENI resources, install I&M tools and experiment services === === B.1 Select target aggregates === In this tutorial, we focus on ExoGENI and do not select any additional aggregates. In future tutorials we will present how GIMI can support experiments on other aggregates and a combination of aggregates (e.g., ExoGENI and WiMAX). ---- === B.2 Formulate slice topology for experiment, and build request rspec === We will not go into any detail on this topic since this is covered in the ExoGENI tutorial. ---- === B.2 Acquire resources and load images/packages for I&M tools and experiment services === === B.2.1 Flukes === Before experimenters can use Flukes the properties file for it has to be modified. Open the properties file with your favorite text editor (e.g., nano): {{{ $ nano ~/.flukes.properties }}} Then change the file as indicated below. {{{ # Do not change these orca.xmlrpc.url=https://geni.renci.org:11443/orca/xmlrpc,https://rci-hn.exogeni.net:11443/orca/xmlrpc,https://bbn-hn.exogeni.net:11443/orca/xmlrpc,https://nicta-hn.exogeni.net:11443/orca/xmlrpc ssh.options=-o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -X xterm.path=/usr/bin/xterm # replace XX with your user index (with leading 0, if necessary) user.keystore=/home/geniuser/Tutorials/GIMI/gimiXX/ssh/gimiXX.jks ssh.key=/home/geniuser/Tutorials/GIMI/gimiXX/ssh/gimiXX_key ssh.pubkey=/home/geniuser/Tutorials/GIMI/gimiXX/ssh/gimiXX_key.pub image1.name=gec14-gimi-image image1.url=http://emmy9.casa.umass.edu/GEC14-GIMI-Tutorial/dilip-gec14.xml image1.hash=8cc0ebc000f2332fa51d42f14b3cae16d43518ab }}} Now start Flukes by clicking on the icon on the VM's desktop. === B.2.2 Omni === ---- 2.1) Select target aggregates 2.2) Select desired software images/packages for I&M tools and experiment services 2.3) Obtain certs, credentials, passwords and keys 2.4) Formulate slice topology for experiment, and build request rspec 2.5) Acquire resources and load images/packages for I&M tools and experiment services 2.6) Start selected software processes 2.7) Confirm slice with installed I&M tools and experiment services [[BR]] [[BR]] [[http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GIMIv1.1Tutorial/Environment Back to previous step]] [[http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GIMIv1.1Tutorial/Orchestrate Forward to next step]] [[http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GIMIv1.1Tutorial/ Back to tutorial main page]]
