ExoGENI Aggregate

GPOLab ExoGENI

This ExoGENI aggregate supports the GENI Aggregate Provider Agreement (02/27/2013). Recording agreement date based on conversation with Heidi Dempsey.

ExoGENI Aggregate Overview

Color( #FF8C10, #ffffff , This rack is used for early development and integration of new GENI features. Scheduled maintenance and upgrades are likely to be more frequent here than at other racks.)?

Aggregate Manager URL https://bbn-hn.exogeni.net:11443/orca/xmlrpc , Component Manager ID: "bbnvmsite"
Aggregate Resources An ExoGENI aggregate includes 10 Hosts (8 VM Servers and 2 dedicated PCs ) that can load experimenter specified OS images. Racks support extensions onto campus networks. Note PCs are only available via RENCI Global resource manager the ExoSM. OpenFlow topologies are supported, see pGPOLab ExoGENI !OpenFlow page.
Typical Experiments ExoGENI supports both compute and and network resource slivers, that can be managed by either a site specific aggregate manager or by the ExoSM, the RENCI Global Resource Manager. Experimenters can get virtual machines or dedicated PCs on which they have full "root" access, run operating systems of their choice, and connect nodes in an arbitrary topology. Supports campus network connections.
Aggregate Status Operational monitoring not widely available, restricted access to monitoring at GMOC
Slice Authorities Recognized GENI Portal (https://portal.geni.net), ProtoGENI (http://www.emulab.net)
Usage Policies The GENI Recommended Use Policy is available.
Layer 2 Connectivity NLR and Internet2. Interconnectivity to ExoGENI racks is implemented through a hub and spoke topology that maps ExoGENI rack participants to RENCI ExoGENI resources using NLR's FrameNet service. For BBN, Vlans 2601-2610 extend from RENCI to NOX where they're delivered directly to BBN.

The following is the layout of ExoGENI Aggregate compute resources:

See the GPOLab OpenFlow Aggregate page for details on connecting to GENI Meso-scale backbone via Internet2 and NLR.
