1. SFI Tutorial Tony Mack

2. What is SFI SFI: the the command line client for SFA interfaces. SFA: minimal set of interfaces and data types that permit the federation of slice-based network components. Registry Interface Slice Interface o Component o Aggregate o Slice Manager

3. SFA Interfaces Registry Interface - Manage Records Add Update Remove Show List Slice Interface - Manage Slices Resources Create Delete Start Stop

4. Current Aggregates PlanetLab (PLC) PlanetLab Europe (PLE) PlanetLab Japan (PLJ) VINI GpENI

5. Installing SFI Fedora RPM Installation Add yum repository [myplc] name= MyPLC baseurl=http://build.planet-lab.org/planetlab/f8/pl-f8-i386-4.3-k22-latest/RPMS/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 $ yum install sfa-client Install sfa-client Install from source $ svn export http://svn.planet-lab.org/svn/sfa/trunk sfa $ cd sfa/trunk/sfa && python setup.py install

6. Configuring SFI Create sfi directory $ mkdir ~/.sfi Install private key # username is email without domain $ cp ~/.ssh/id_rsa ~/.sfi/.pkey # remove passphrase from key $ ssh-keygen -p -f ~/.sfi/.pkey create config file ~/.sfi/sfi_config SFI_AUTH='plc.princeton' SFI_USER='plc.princeton.tmack' SFI_REGISTRY='http://www.planet-lab.org:12345/' SFI_SM='http://www.planet-lab.org:12347/'

7. Registry Interface

8. Add Record Slice record template <record description="Test description" hrn="plc.princeton.tmacktestslice" type="slice" url="http://planet-lab.org/" plc.princeton.tmack plc.princeton.llp $ sfi.py add slice-record.xml Add the record to the Registry

9. Update Record $ sfi.py update slice-record.xml

10. Display Record Show detailed record information $ sfi.py show plc.princeton.tmacktestslice peer_authority: None hrn: plc.princeton.tmacktestslice last_updated: 20100625T18:42:41 authority: plc.princeton gid: hrn: plc.princeton.tmacktestslice urn: urn:publicid:IDN+plc:princeton+None+tmacktestslice uuid: 98680966165612911378858199233917520628 date_created: 20100625T18:42:41 type: slice researcher: ['plc.princeton.tmack']

11. Listing Records List all records at a specific level in the hierarchy $ sfi.py list plc plc.iss (authority) plc.cesnet (authority) plc.princeton (authority) $ sfi.py list plc.princeton plc.princeton.planetlab-01 (node) plc.princeton.tmack (slice) plc.princeton.tmacktestslice (slice)

12. Slice Interface

13. Get Available Resources $ sfi.py resources -o nodes.rspec Princeton alice.cs.princeton.edu 10000 planetlab-9.cs.princeton.edu 10000...

14. Get Allocated Resources $ sfi.py resources plc.princeton.testslice -o slice-nodes Princeton alice.cs.princeton.edu 10000 planetlab-9.cs.princeton.edu 10000...

15. Allocate Resources Pt. 1 1.Modify RSpec by hand (adding the tag) 2.Use client tools Using Client Tools Get available resources $ sfi.py resources -o nodes.rspec Create a text file of hostnames $ sfiListNodes.py -i nodes.rspec -o nodes.txt Remove/Add nodes to/from text file Create an RSpec with requested resource allocations $ sfiAddSliver.py -i nodes.rspec -n nodes.txt -o mynodes.rspec

16. Allocate Resources Pt.2 Create the slice on the specified resources $ sfi.py create plc.princeton.slice mynodes.rspec Check it $ sfi.py resources plc.princeton.slice You can use 'sfi.py create' to deallocate resources as well. Just create an RSpec with only the resources you want and execute create again.

17. Deallocate All Resources $ sfi.py delete plc.princeton.slice

18. Other Calls $ sfi.py stop plc.princeton.tmacktestslice $ sfi.py start plc.princeton.tmacktestslice Stop a slice Start a slice
