[[PageOutline]] = Interoperability of I&M Tools on GENI Racks = == 1) Goals == The primary goal of this effort is to get the GIMI and GEMINI tools working on both InstaGENI and ExoGENI racks by GEC17. [[BR]] To work toward this goal, we need to address items in the following areas: * Tools * Sliver creation (Flack/Flukes/Omni) * Presentation/Orchestration (GENI Desktop/Labwiki) * Archival (iRODS) * Resources * Images * Rspecs * Configuration * initialize/instrumentize * postboot scripts * Testing * What are the basic use cases? * Certificates * We should be able to use certificates issued by all four of these authorities for both sets of tools * Utah emulab, UKY emulab, PGENI, GENI Portal == 2) Mailing lists == These lists should be used for help on questions or issues with each of the racks. Subscribing to each of these lists will allow you to see the latest questions, answers, known issues and scheduled downtime related to each of the racks. * ExoGENI: geni-orca-users@googlegroups.com * InstaGENI: progoteni-users@googlegroups.com == 3) Known differences between racks == || || '''ExoGENI''' || '''InstaGENI''' || || '''Virtualization technology''' || KVM || openvz || || '''Images''' || requires separate filesystem/kernel/ramdisk images, highly recommended to add NEuca guest extensions, must run on KVM || Because VMs are openvz containers, must be same OS as hypervisor (Fedora) || || '''Data plane IPs''' || doesn't auto-assign IPs when not specified in request || auto-assigns IPs when not specified in request || || '''Login information''' || Not available in manifest until resources are active || Available as soon as resources are provisioned || == 3) GIMI on InstaGENI == === 3.1) Tools === * Sliver creation * Flack * Omni * Presentation/Orchestration * Labwiki * OMF/OML === 3.2) Resources === No known resource restrictions identified yet. === 3.3) Images === * Create custom VM image * Fedora * common Ubuntu image not expected until July === 3.4) Rspecs === * Convert current tutorial RDF to rspec * Should work if only nodes and links are specified * Changes required * images changed * sliver-types changed (different virtualization) * component managers removed * Test the rspec on InstaGENI using both Flack and omni === 3.5) Configuration === * Convert postboot functionality into execute service script === 3.6) Certificates === * Certificates not yet used for Labwiki === 3.7) Testing === ==== Browser Compatibility ==== || || '''Mac''' || '''Ubuntu 12.04''' || '''Windows 7''' || || '''Firefox''' || || || || || '''Chrome''' || || || || || '''IE''' || N/A || N/A || || || '''Safari''' || || || N/A || == 4) GEMINI on ExoGENI == === 4.1) Tools === * Sliver creation * Read https://wiki.exogeni.net/doku.php?id=public:experimenters:start * Flack * Omni * Presentation/Orchestration * GENI Desktop === 4.2) Resources === * Main concern is public IPs with access to certain ports for instrumentation * Ilia confirms that all nodes have public IPs assigned.

This includes Flack and GEMINI extensions. * Let's discuss a more general 'measurement' extension for RSpecs usable by GIMI and GEMINI. We can add an NDL extension to support it in ORCA /ib * Convert current tutorial rspec to RDF * Test the RDF on ExoGENI using Flukes * Test the rspec on ExoGENI using omni * Test the rspec on ExoGENI using Flack when it is ready === 4.5) Configuration === * Test the initialize/instrumentize scripts work on ExoGENI nodes * Ahmed has tested converting ExoGENI manifest into UNIS schema * Hussam reported earlier that GENI Desktop relies on location tags in the manifest for lat/long in topology map * Ilia will look into possibly adding these to the ExoGENI rspec === 4.6) Certificates === * All four types of certificates should work for GENI Desktop login and instrumentize === 4.7) Testing === ==== Certificate Compatibility ==== || || Login || Instrumentize || || '''Utah Emulab''' || || || || '''UKY Emulab''' || || || || '''PGENI''' || || || || '''GENI Portal''' || || || ==== Browser Compatibility ==== || || '''Mac''' || '''Ubuntu 12.04''' || '''Windows 7''' || || '''Firefox''' || || || || || '''Chrome''' || || || || || '''IE''' || N/A || N/A || || || '''Safari''' || || || N/A || ==== Tickets ==== These are tickets addressing issues that GEMINI has also encountered during testing/investigation: http://groups.geni.net/exogeni/ticket/109: SSH Keys: Only one ssh key is installed == 5) Team == Jeanne Ohren (BBN) Luisa Nevers (BBN) Ezra Kissel (IU) Hussman Nasir (Kentucky) Ilia Baldine (RENCI) Cong Wang (UMass Amherst) Mike Zink (UMass Amherst) Divyashri Bhat (UMass Amherst) == 6) Planning and Status Meetings == ~~041113~~ 042513 050913 051313; 2-4pm EDT; GIMI demo session 051413; 2-4pm EDT; GEMINI demo session 052313 061013; 2-4pm EDT; GIMI demo session; bulk of work done on v2 GIMI Portal 061113; 2-4pm EDT; GEMINI demo session; bulk of work done on v2 GIMI Portal 061313 062713 070813; 2-4pm EDT; GIMI demo session; v2 ready for testing 070913; 2-4pm EDT; GEMINI demo session; v2 ready for testing 071113 072113 - 072313 is GEC17 == 7) Key Task List == || '''ID''' || '''Description''' || '''Assignee''' || '''Due''' || '''Status''' || '''Notes''' || || 1 || Create basic Fedora image for ExoGENI || Ezra, Hussam, and Jeanne || || [[Color(#B0E0E6, In Progress)]] || || || 2 || Create custom GIMI image for InstaGENI || Divya and Cong || || [[Color(#B0E0E6, In Progress)]] || || || 3 || Convert current GIMI tutorial RDF to rspec || Jeanne || || [[Color(#B0E0E6, In Progress)]] || || || 4 || Test the GIMI rspec on InstaGENI using both Flack and omni || Jeanne and Luisa || || || || || 5 || Convert postboot functionality into execute service script || Mike and Cong || || [[Color(#B0E0E6, In Progress)]] || || || 6 || Determine basic use cases for testing both sets of tools || || || || || || 7 || Test the GEMINI rspec on ExoGENI using omni || Ezra || || [[Color(#B0E0E6, In Progress)]] || || || 8 || Test the rspec on ExoGENI using Flack || Ezra || || [[Color(#B0E0E6, In Progress)]] || || || 9 || Determine if initialize and instrumentize can get everything it needs from the ExoGENI manifest || Hussam || || || || || 10 || Look into possible common measurement extensions for ExoGENI || Ilia, Ezra, Hussam, and Mike || || [[Color(#B0E0E6, In Progress)]] || || || 11 || Add support for GENI Portal certificates in GENI Desktop || Hussam || || [[Color(#B0E0E6, In Progress)]] || || || 12 || Look into adding location (lat/lon) tags to the ExoGENI manifest || Ilia || || [[Color(#B0E0E6, In Progress)]] || || || 13 || Create custom GEMINI image for InstaGENI || || || || ||
