Integrated Management Framework Evaluation

This evaluation reviews the documentation and code used for the GEC10 Demo of the Integrated Measurement Framework demonstration for the milestone:

IMF: S3.d Documentation and Code Release (Completed late 05/13/11)

According to the IMF Post-GEC11 ​status, the IMF code is available as attachments the status page. The following perfSONAR components are available:

• Standalone ​command-line client for IMF measurements
• Standalone ​GUI client for IMF measurements
• ​Measurement Handler
• ​PubSub
• IMF ​Realtime service

In addition to the software, a login account is required to access ​http://ben.renci.org. To use the features in the PubSub_for_PerfSONAR package.

Evaluation Timeline: October 7, 2011

Integrated Management Framework Findings

Found various issues captured were captured in as bugs in the ​IMF track system. The list of issues found includes:

• ​Ticket 4 MH undocumented prerequisites and version error for makefile creation
• ​Ticket 5 Real Time package installation inconsistencies and error
• ​Ticket 6Real Time Readme issues
• ​Ticket 7 Pub Sub package issues
• ​Ticket 8 MH README Feedback
• ​Ticket 9 prepare_environment.sh fails with missing components plus other errors

Integrated Management Framework How-to

Downloaded each of the 5 software packages available as attachments in the ​Code Snapshot section of the ​IMF GEC11 QSR.

Measurement Handler How-to

Unpacked and built the Measurement Handler package:

  $ tar xvzf mh.tar.gz
  $ cd mh
  $ perl Makefile.PL 

The perl command fails due to missing pre-requisite perl Modules: Date::Manip, Net::Telnet, and Thread::Queue::Any. Once installed was able to generate the makefile and proceed to the next step:

$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
lnevers@sendaria:~/IMF/mh$ perl Makefile.PL 
Argument "6.55_02" isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at Makefile.PL line 5.
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

Realtime Service How-to

Unpacked and built the Realtime Service package:

  $ tar xvzf perfsonar_imf_realtime.tar.gz 
  $ cd perfSONAR_PS-IMF-RealTime
  $ sudo make install
  sed -i "s|/opt/perfsonar_ps/imfrealtime|/opt/perfsonar_ps/imfrealtime|g" ./etc/daemon.conf
  sed -i "s|/opt/perfsonar_ps/imfrealtime|/opt/perfsonar_ps/imfrealtime|g" ./etc/daemon_logger.conf
  for i in `ls ./scripts`; do sed -i "s|/opt/perfsonar_ps/imfrealtime|/opt/perfsonar_ps/imfrealtime|g" ./scripts/${i}; done
  mkdir -p /opt/perfsonar_ps/imfrealtime
  tar ch --exclude=etc/* --exclude=*spec --exclude=MANIFEST --exclude=Makefile -T MANIFEST | tar x -C /opt/perfsonar_ps/imfrealtime
  tar: doc/README: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
  tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
  for i in `cat MANIFEST | grep ^etc`; do  mkdir -p `dirname /opt/perfsonar_ps/imfrealtime/${i}`; if [ -e /opt/perfsonar_ps/imfrealtime/${i} ]; then   install -m 640 -c ${i} /opt/perfsonar_ps/imfrealtime/${i}.new; else install -m 640 -c ${i} /opt/perfsonar_ps/imfrealtime/${i}; fi; done

PubSub How-to

Unpacked and built the PubSub package:

  $ tar xvzf PubSub_for_PerfSONAR.tar.gz
  $ $ cd PubSub_for_PerfSONAR/IMF/

Met pre-requisites for Pub Sub system:

1. Get account on ​https://ben.renci.org/.
2. Got account on geni-imf-dev.renci-dcr.ben system. Access to this system requires OpenVPN access.
3. Got Encrypted OpeenVPN Credentials to access the OpenVPN site.
4. Installed OpenVPN as described at the ​BEN Wiki page named Using BEN VPN
5. Install the network manager to configure OpenVPN.

The following packages had to be installed for OpenVPN and Network Manager:

 $ sudo apt-get install openvpn network-manager-openvpn openvpn-blacklist network-manager
 $ sudo apt-get install resolvconf 

Run the network Manager to configure the OpenVPN

 $ sudo NetworkManager
 $ sudo nm-connection-editor

The encruypted OpenVPN Credential has to be unpacked usind a passphrase provided out of band:

 $ gpg -d gpo-bbn.zip.gpg > gpo-bbn.zip
 $ unzip gpo-bbn.zip 
    Archive:  gpo-bbn.zip
   creating: gpo-bbn/
  inflating: gpo-bbn/gpo-bbn.conf    
  inflating: gpo-bbn/gpo-bbn.ovpn    
  inflating: gpo-bbn/dh1024.pem      
  inflating: gpo-bbn/ca.crt          
  inflating: gpo-bbn/gpo-bbn.key     
  inflating: gpo-bbn/gpo-bbn.crt     

The file gpo-bbn/gpo-bbn.conf is inported into the Network Manager VPN settings to connect.
