Objective  Create an isolated ORCA instance in the lab with a Cisco 3750 switch  Integrate the LEARN, regional optical network, located in Texas, into the ORCA control framework (GENI Cluster D) by GENI Engineering Conference 8 (July 2010) 03/16/2010 GEC7 – ORCA-D. EL-Hadik, LEARN

Towards an Isolated ORCA Instance PRE-REQUISITES ORCA software Release: Anacortes (1.1- alpha) Ubuntu-9.0 Java version 1.5 Ant 1.7 Maven Subversion Client with https support SSH client 03/16/2010 GEC7 – ORCA-D. EL-Hadik, LEARN

Building ORCA Retrieve bootstrap directory from Subversion Soft link to build.xml file Create Work Directory Use ant to get the source First Time User : Register the Certificate of Web server Web server Certificate is installed in the Key store of Java Installation Prepare Source Tree for building Install all artifacts to the local repository 1.1-alpha release version Prepare GENI-ORCA for Use 03/16/2010 GEC7 – ORCA-D.

Building ORCA : Successful Give ant more heap space Create mysql database and populate it Setup Tomcat container to allow ORCA run in Emulation mode Deploying ORCA Generating GENI-ORCA Web Application Deploy into an already running tomcat instance on the local machine Create the webapp with the new information Wait until the actors start ticking before logging into the portal.

Node Agent Create ORCA instance to use real resources Steps: –Installing Node Agent Host - The node agent host is a axis server that hosts and runs our drivers –Install Node Agents - This installs the node agents themselves into the running axis server –Install the drivers - Register the previously generated admin certificate with the newly installed node agent 03/16/2010 GEC7 – ORCA-D. EL-Hadik, LEARN

Work till date The ORCA Master is now equipped with handlers. The node agent has drivers installed. Drivers for accessing the Cisco 6509 switch are available, which we need to modify for Cisco /16/2010 GEC7 – ORCA-D. EL-Hadik, LEARN

Next step To test if the handlers of the ORCA master are suitable for the existing drivers of the node agent. If successful, the Cisco 3750 switch needs to be accessed by node agent for our lab Finally to set up a VLAN using the switch, node agent, and the ORCA Master. 03/16/2010 GEC7 – ORCA-D.
