[[PageOutline]] = 4.3) I&M Use Cases for Infrastructure Measurement, and Support for Operators = == 4.3.1) Goals == Provide a concise but complete definition of I&M Use Cases for Infrastructure Measurement [[BR]] Include the support that should be available to operators [[BR]] Update the [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GeniInstrumentationandMeasurementsArchitecture GENI I&M Architecture document]: [[BR]] Sec. 3.1. I&M Use cases for Experimenters [[BR]] Sec. 4.3.1 Type 1 I&M Service: Service Contained within a Slice [[BR]] Use as guidance in the design of GENI I&M tools, particularly for the GEMINI and GIMI projects [[BR]] == 4.3.2) Issues == 1) Can an Operator (e.g., GMOC) ever see MD owned by an Experimenter, e.g., to verify acceptable use of GENI resources or to troubleshoot problems in GENI infrastructure? If so, how? [[BR]] == 4.3.2) Team == LEAD Martin Swany (Indiana U) Eric Boyd (Internet2) Jason Zurawski (Internet2) Prasad Calyam (Ohio Super Center) Chris Small (Indiana U); Ilia Baldine, for ExoGENI racks (RENCI); ?, for InstaGENI racks (HP); ?, for GMOC [[BR]] Harry Mussman (GPO) [[BR]] == 4.2.3) Meetings == Review with operators at GEC13 [[BR]] 1) Definition of topic: [[BR]] a) Delineate what infrastructure monitoring is and is not covered by this approach. [[BR]] 1) Yes: monitoring of clusters/racks [[BR]] 2) Yes: passive measurements of transport switches, etc. [[BR]] 3) Yes: active measurements of IP networks, of Layer 2 and OpenFlow paths [[BR]] b) Nominal infrastructure measurement process: [[BR]] 1) Setup persistent or on-demand infrastructure measurement slice. [[BR]] 2) Make passive measurements or make active measurements. [[BR]] 3) Gather MD, and observe as it is gathered; formulate MDOD. [[BR]] 4) Store MD in collector, describe with MDOD, and register MDOD so that MD can be shared. [[BR]] 5) Typically share MD with Aggregate Operator, GMOC and/or Experimenters, per policy written into MDOD. [[BR]] 6) Pull MD out of collector, analyze and visualize. [[BR]] 7) Archive MD with MDOD. [[BR]] 8) Share archived MD with others, per policy included within MDOD. [[BR]] 9) Pull MD out of archive, to analyze and/or visualize. [[BR]] c) What support must be provided for Operator? how? [[BR]] 2) Who: LEAD Martin Swany (Indiana U); Eric Boyd (Internet2); Jason Zurawski (Internet2); Prasad Calyam (Ohio Super Center); Chris Small (Indiana U); Ilia Baldine, for ExoGENI racks (RENCI); ?, for InstaGENI racks (HP); ?, for GMOC [[BR]]
