[wiki:Documentation] | [wiki:Documentation/NodeHandler NodeHandler] | [wiki:Documentation/NodeHandler/Commands Commands] | defNodes = defNodes: Define Nodes used in Experiment = This command defines a set of nodes used in the experiment. An experiment can contain multiple such declarations. == Syntax: defNodes(setName, selector, &block = nil) == * '''setName:''' Name of the defined set. * '''selector:''' Selects the nodes contained in this set. * '''block:''' Instructions for all nodes in the set. The 'setName' is a simple string which is used in the remander of the experiment script to refer to this set of nodes. The 'selector' defines which nodes are in the set. A selector can have the following forms: * 'topology': The URI of a previously defined topology (see [wiki:Documentation/NodeHandler/Commands/defTopology defTopology]) * [x,y]: Describes a single node at location x@y * [x1..x2, y]: Describes a set of nodes along a line starting at x1@y and ending at x2@y. For instance, [2..4, 5] defines the nodes [2,5], [3,5], [4,5]. * [x, y1..y2]: Same as previous, but for the y coordinate. * [x1..x2, y1..y2]: This defines a rectangle area of nodes within the grid. * 'setName': Includes all the nodes defined by another set * [[x1,y1], [x2,y2], [x3,y3]]: An arbitrary long list of single nodes. Obvioulsy, any entry in this list can also use any of th e above defined syntaxes. The optional 'block' allows the experimenter to configure all the nodes in the set as a single entity. The following commands are defined inside the block: * [wiki:Documentation/NodeHandler/Commands/NodeSet/image image=] * [wiki:Documentation/NodeHandler/Commands/NodeSet/prototype prototype] * [wiki:Documentation/NodeHandler/Commands/NodeSet/net net] The following, additional commands are for expert users only: * [wiki:Documentation/NodeHandler/Commands/NodeSet/addApplication addApplication] * [wiki:Documentation/NodeHandler/Commands/NodeSet/onNodeUp onNodeUp] * [wiki:Documentation/NodeHandler/Commands/NodeSet/pxeImage pxeImage] == Usage == {{{ defNodes('sender1', [1, 1]) # set contains 1 node defNodes('sender2', [2, 1..8]) # set contains 8 nodes [2,1], [2,2], ...
