+= ProtoGENI Evaluation =
+
+This evaluation is a documentation effort. ProtoGENI software installation was executed by Chaos, who has captured all installation findings in the [http://groups.geni.net/syseng/wiki/OpsProtoGeni OpsProtoGeni] page.
+
+The [http://groups.geni.net/syseng/wiki/OpsProtoGeni OpsProtoGeni] page was initially reviewed, but it was determined that it could not be published externally without major changes. Mostly because many details were very GPO Lab specific.  For example:
+
+ * Lots of puppet instructions
+ * The 3 network used in ProtoGENI were replaced by one network in our installations.
+ * All references to the 3 network point to the one generic network.
+ * Some housekeeping operation are not placed in proper context.
+ * Some image are re-located to GPO Lab servers, need reference to external sources.
+ * Various reference to "Node" do not clearly state what type of node.
+
+Because of the above, changed approach to start with the ProtoGENI Emulab documentation and add our findings.
+
+This effort is documented in internal pages, and was not completed.

+= ProtoGENI How-to =
+
+The ProtoGENI software installation is made up of various steps which are highlighted in this page, the full details of the
+installation are found at the Emulab wiki.  Throughout this document references are made to the appropriate Emulab page.  
+This page will expand on the instructions provided, when appropriate.  
+
+1. According to the [https://users.emulab.net/trac/protogeni/wiki/ProtoGENIInstall ProtoGENI Install] page,  the latest ProtoGENI Development software should be used, which can be accessed as describe in [http://users.emulab.net/trac/emulab/wiki/GitRepository Git Repository] page:
+  
+{{{
+ $ git clone git-public.flux.utah.edu:/flux/git/emulab-devel.git
+}}}
+
+2. Users are instructed to update the Boss system as been described in [http://users.emulab.net/trac/emulab/wiki/install/update-testbed.html update] page.
+
+3. The libdnet port should be installed on the boss server.  [http://libdnet.sourceforge.net/ Libnet] provides a simplified, portable interface to several low-level networking routines. 
+
+4. Configuration is required to enable GENI. The defs (~/emulab-devel/defs-default) to include:
+
+{{{
+PROTOGENI_SUPPORT=1
+PROTOGENI_DOMAIN="myProtoGENI"
+}}}
+
+Once the settings are in place, compilation can be performed:
+{{{
+ $ sudo cp /usr/testbed/tmp/defs-pgeniN /proj/emulab-ops/data/src/testbed/defs-gpolab-pgeniN
+ $ cd /proj/emulab-ops/data/obj/testbed
+ $ /proj/emulab-ops/data/src/testbed/configure --with-TBDEFS=/proj/emulab-ops/data/src/testbed/defs-gpolab-pgeniN
+ $ gmake clean
+ $ gmake
+ $ sudo gmake boss-install
+ $ cd protogeni
+ $ gmake
+ $ sudo gmake install
+}}}
+  ''' Question: Where did obj dir come from? '''
+
+5. Run the initsite script, which can be run multiple times until all initialization pre-requisites are met:
+{{{
+    $sudo /usr/testbed/sbin/protogeni/initsite
+}}}
+
+See the [http://groups.geni.net/syseng/wiki/OpsProtoGeni#InstallProtoGeni InstallProtoGENI] Section Step 5 for an 
+example captures of 6 consecutive runs that eventually initialize the site.
+
+6. Site is now initialized.
+
+7. Install and start the ProtoGENI expiration daemon. The expiration daemon backgrounds itself and will automatically starts as part of boss system startup:
+{{{
+ $ cd /proj/emulab-ops/data/obj/testbed/rc.d
+ $ gmake
+ $ sudo gmake install
+ $ sudo /usr/testbed/sbin/protogeni/expire_daemon
+}}}
+
+8. To register resources with the clearinghouse run the following on the boss system:
+{{{
+ $ /usr/testbed/sbin/protogeni/register_resources
+}}}
