  1. The Instageni Initiative Nick Bastin, Andy Bavier, Jessica Blaine, Joe Mambretti, Rick McGeer, Rob Ricci, Nicki Watts PlanetWorks, HP, University of Utah, Northwestern March 13, 2012

  2. The instageni rack • Designed for GENI Meso-scale deployment • Eight 2012 deployments, 24 2013 deployments • ProtoGENI and FOAM as native Aggregate Managers and Control Frameworks • Boots to ProtoGENI instance with OpenFlow switch • Designed for wide-area PlanetLab federation • PlanetLab image provided with boot • InstaGENI PlanetLab Central stood up • Designed for expandability • Approx 30U free in rack

  3. The instageni rack • Designed for easy deployability • Power: 220V L6-20 receptacle • Network: 10/100/1000 Base-T • Designed for Remote Management • HP iLO on each node • Designed for flexible networking • 4 1G NICs/node, 48 1G NICs, 4 10G NICs on the OpenFlow switch

  4. Instageni rack hardware • Control Node for ProtoGENI Boss, ProtoGENI users, FOAM Controller, Image storage… • HP ProLiant DL 360G7, quad-core, single-socket, dual NIC (1 Gb/sec), 12GB RAM, 4TB Disk (RAID), iLO • Five Experiment Nodes • HP ProLiant DL 360G7, six-core, dual-socket, quad NIC (1 Gb/sec), 48GB RAM, 1TB Disk, iLO • OpenFlow Switch • HP E 6600, 48 1 Gb/s, 4 10 Gb/s • Hybrid mode

  5. Instageni planned deployment • GENI funding • 8 sites in Year 1 • 24 sites in Year 2 • All in USA • Other Racks • US: Attempting program with relevant HP units • Abroad: see me.

  12. GENI Integration • Will ship with full support for GENI AM (likely v3) • Updates as GENI APIs evolve • Support for Tom Lehman’s RSpec stitching extension • Will have local FOAM and FlowVisor instances for OpenFlow integration • Will start by affiliating with the ProtoGENI clearinghouse • Switch affiliation to the GENI Clearinghouse once up

  13. Software Management • Frequent control software updates • Rarely affects running slivers • VM snapshots to roll back failed updates • Major software changes, rather than on a set schedule • All updates done by InstaGENI personnel • (Sites can make local modifications, but this “voids the warranty”) • Testing period on Utah rack first • Updating disk images • New version of standard images distributed nightly • Voluntary updates for exclusive-use nodes and VM images • Scheduled updates for VM host images • Security updates will be handled differently on case-by-case basis

  14. Operations and Management • Providing GMOC with: • Visibility into current users and slices • Health and historical data • “Kill switch” credentials for emergency shutdown • Local administrators get the same access • Automatic verification of slices upon setup • Local admins get mail about hardware failures • PlanetFlow-based mapping of address/packets to slices
