Basic Tutorial/Experiment with GIMI v1.1 I&M Tools: Instructions

Tutorial Overview

• This tutorial will show how to reserve resources with ​Flukes tool, implement experiments on ​ExoGENI testbed via OML/OMF, analyze measurement results, and store and retrieve data to/fromm ​iRODS.
• In this tutorial, Users are expected to get familiar with GIMI tools and command line based OML/OMF, in order to submit experiment scripts, run experiments, and get visualized results.
• As GIMI I&M service example, users will get hands on experience on setting up a specific topology, add routing on top of that topology and measure the network performance based on UDP packet size.

Common Errors

• Be careful cutting and pasting
  • Doesn’t work from Trac
  • Sometimes even txt file inserts hidden characters
  • Some lines require edits; don’t cut and paste the newline
  • Make terminal windows big
  • Sometimes terminal gets corrupted when pasting a line that runs to the next line (especially when backspacing)
  • ​Here you can find some shortcuts on cutting and pasting for tools that run in VirtualBox.
