Experiment Controller (OMF)

Used to execute various experiments in the testbed domain. Invoked with omf command.

user@console:omf
Run a command on the testbed(s)
Usage: omf-5.4  [COMMAND] [ARGUMENT]...
  Available COMMANDs:
    help   Print this help message or a specify command usage
    exec   Execute an experiment script
    load   Load a disk image on a given set of nodes
    save   Save a disk image from a given node into a file
    tell   Switch a given set of nodes ON/OFF or reboot them
    stat   Returns the status of a given set of nodes
  To get more help on individual commands: 'omf-5.4 help [COMMAND]'
  Examples:
            omf-5.4  help exec   Return usage/help for the 'exec' command
            omf-5.4  help load   Return usage/help for the 'load' command

omf load

Load command is used to put an image onto the hard disk of the node.

Usage: omf load

Install a given disk image on the nodes in a testbed
Usage:
      omf-5.4 load [-h] [-i IMAGE_PATH] [-o TIMEOUT] [-t TOPOLOGY] [-c AGGREGATE]
 
      With: 
      -h, --help                print this help message
      -c, --config AGGREGATE    use testbed AGGREGATE
      -t, --topology TOPOLOGY   a valid topology file or description (defaults to 'system:topo:all')
                                (if a file 'TOPOLOGY' doesn't exist, interpret it as a comma-separated list of nodes)
      -i, --image IMAGE         disk image to load
                                (default is 'baseline.ndz', the latest stable baseline image)
      -o, --timeout TIMEOUT     a duration (in sec.) after which imageNodes should stop waiting for
                                nodes that have not finished their image installation
                                (default is 800 sec, i.e. 13min 20sec)
          --outpath PATH        Path where the resulting Topologies should be saved
                                (default is '/tmp')
          --outprefix PREFIX    Prefix to use for naming the resulting Topologies
                                (default is your experiment ID)
 
      Some Examples: 
                    omf-5.4 load
                    omf-5.4 load -t system:topo:all -i baseline-2.4.ndz
                    omf-5.4 load -t omf.nicta.node1 -i wireless-2.6.ndz
                    omf-5.4 load -t omf.nicta.node1,omf.nicta.node2 -i baseline.ndz -o 400
                    omf-5.4 load -t system:topo:circle -i my_Own_Image.ndz
                    omf-5.4 load -t my_Own_Topology -i baseline-2.2.ndz -t 600 -c grid
                    omf-5.4 load -t my_Own_Topology --outpath ./ --outprefix my_Own_Prefix

Two important arguments are TOPOLOGY describing the set of nodes one wishes to image , and !IMAGE specifying the name of the image one wants to load the nodes with. If the imaging process does not does not finish within the default timeout period, that period can be increase by using the -o flag (e.g. -o 1600). Typical command to load both nodes of sandbox 1 with the baseline image would look like:

Example: omf load-i baseline.ndz -t node1-1

username@console.sb3:~$ omf load -i baseline.ndz -t node1-1

omf stat

This omf command is used to display the power status of the node/domain.

Usage: omf stat

username@consoles.outdoor:omf stat
Returns the status of the nodes in a testbed
Usage:
      omf-5.4 stat [-h] [-s] [-t TOPOLOGY] [-c AGGREGATE]
 
      With: 
      -h, --help                print this help message
      -s, --summary             print a summary of the node status for the testbed
      -c, --config AGGREGATE    use testbed AGGREGATE
      -t, --topology TOPOLOGY   a valid topology file or description (defaults to 'system:topo:all')
 
      Some Examples: 
                    omf-5.4 stat
                    omf-5.4 stat -s
                    omf-5.4 stat -t omf.nicta.node1,omf.nicta.node2 -c sb1
                    omf-5.4 stat -t system:topo:all -c grid

Individual nodes are identified in the output of stat command by their fully qualified domain name (FQDN). This establishes their "coordinates" and the "domain" to which they belong. Nodes in different domains typically can NOT see each other. Node can be in 1 of 3 states:

POWEROFF Node is Available for use but turned off
POWERON Node is Available and is on
NOT REGISTERED Node is not Available for use

Example: omf stat on the outdoor domain
