LAMP I&M System: Tutorial

Welcome to the LAMP I&M System tutorial. This tutorial will take you through the steps in creating a ​ProtoGENI slice with Instrumentation & Measurement (I&M) capabilities based on the ​perfSONAR framework and the ​perfSONAR-PS software suite. This tutorial and the full documentation for the LAMP I&M System is still under development, but we have made a Quick Start Guide to get you started right away. Please feel free to contact us with questions or any type of feedback at ​lamp@damsl.cis.udel.edu.

Getting Ready

The LAMP I&M System is currently tailored to characteristics of the ProtoGENI Control Framework. The LAMP I&M System is also limited to the UBUNTU91-LAMP disk image that can be found on Utah's (Emulab.net) ProtoGENI testbed. We intend to create software packages and instructions for customizing existing or new images with the LAMP software. In the meantime, the following steps must be taken prior to testing our system:

• Get a ProtoGENI account and familiarize yourself with using ProtoGENI. The ​ProtoGENI tutorial is a great resource for this. Make sure you follow the instructions to get your SSH Keys set up.

• Download the ProtoGENI test scripts. We will use these to create and start our slice.

• Download the following LAMP scripts: lamp-getcertificate.py and lamp-sendmanifest.py. These scripts will be used to help setup your slice with LAMP support.
