Sliver failure for GA Tech aggregate for Confirmation Test IG-CT-3

[lnevers@bbn.com]

Running test case IG-CT-3, which includes 1 VM @GPO InstaGENI and 1 VM @ GA Tech InstaGENI connected via a GRE Tunnel.

The sliver creation is successful and the sliver status is ready for GPO InstaGENI, but the sliver failed for the GA Tech sliver. Failure shown in sliverstatus may be the same as reported by Josh in earlier email, writing ticket to track to resolution:

Was eventually able the sliver with 1 VM @ GA Tech and 1 VM @ GPO. But once the slivers were created, was not able to ping between the two allocated nodes. Waiting on firewall rule changes to allow GRE traffic to be applied at GA Tech.

The firewall updates for GRE traffic have been made for the GATech site. Traffic is now allowed for GRE connection between GPO and GA Tech. NO issues remain, closing ticket.
