= !DiCloud Evaluation = The [wiki:DICLOUD DiCloud] project delivered an integration milestone with [wiki:GushProto GUSH] supporting access to [wiki:ORCABEN ORCA] resources. Instructions were fom the GUSH [http://gush.cs.williams.edu/trac/gush/wiki/OrcaExample Orca Example] page which walks through a scenario that uses ORCA, ProtoGENI and !PlanetLab resources. Evaluation Time Frame: October 19, 2011 = !DiCloud Findings = Ran into 2 problems accessing the ORCA aggregate, in particular one problem was in the RSPEC to NDL converter. This component is being modified for GEC12, RENCI folks suggested that GIR evaluation be postponed to after GEC12. = !DiCloud How-to = Defined the omni_config setting to access the aggregates: {{{ [omni] users = lnevers [plc] type=sfa authority=plc.bbn user=plc.bbn.lnevers cert=~/.gcf/plc.bbn.lnevers.gid key=~/.gcf/lnevers.pkey registry=http://www.planet-lab.org:12345 slicemgr=http://www.planet-lab.org:12347 [pg] type=pg ch = https://www.emulab.net:443/protogeni/xmlrpc/ch sa = https://www.emulab.net:443/protogeni/xmlrpc/sa cert = ~/.ssl/protogeni/encrypted-cleartext.pem key = ~/.ssl/protogeni/encrypted-cleartext.pem [lnevers] urn = urn:publicid:IDN+emulab.net+user+lnevers keys=~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub }}} Defined the directory.xml for each of the !PlanetLab, ProtoGENI, and ORCA resource managers: {{{ }}} Created a slice for the experiment: {{{ $ helper-scripts/handle-geni.py -n -f pg -a https://www.emulab.net/protogeni/xmlrpc/am createslice gush-orca-gir INFO:omni:Loading config file omni_config INFO:omni:Using control framework pg Created slice with Name gush-orca-gir, URN urn:publicid:IDN+emulab.net+slice+gush-orca-gir }}} Defined an ORCA rspec file named orca.rpec: {{{ }}} Created a sliver with the GUSH handle-geni.py script: {{{ $ helper-scripts/handle-geni.py -n -f pg -a https://geni.renci.org:11443/orca/xmlrpc createsliver gush-orca-gir orca.rpec INFO:omni:Loading config file omni_config INFO:omni:Using control framework pg Asked https://geni.renci.org:11443/orca/xmlrpc to reserve resources.
