+To access GENI resources, an experimenter must have GENI credentials! If you don't have credentials, follow the instructions at SignMeUp.
+'''Note:''' If you have an account with a Clearinghouse other than pgeni.gpolab.bbn.com (e.g. www.emulab.net, planet-lab.org) you can still use Omni to reserve resources but you will not be able to complete the above two examples so we strongly recommend that you [wiki:SignMeUp sign up] with GPO's clearing house.
 The Clearinghouse must have a copy of your existing or newly generated SSH public key, which is placed on the allocated resource to allow access.  The Omni tools automatically upload your SSH public key when you create a slice, so if you plan to use Omni tools you can skip the manual SSH key upload. Without Omni tools, this is done manually by logging into the server ([https://www.pgeni.gpolab.bbn.com GPO ProtoGENI],[https://planet-lab.org PlanetLab], or [https://www.emulab.net Emulab]) and uploading the SSH keys that you will use to run the experiment.  For [https://planet-lab.org PlanetLab], the ssh key manual uploaded is in the ''My Account'' page in the ''keys'' section. For ProtoGENI [https://www.emulab.net Emulab], the manual key uploaded in the ''Profile'' tab in the ''Edit SSH Keys'' page.
