Load an Image

  1. Before we begin using the nodes, it's a good idea to check their status first. This is done with the omf stat command.

    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

    user@console.outdoor:~# omf stat -t all

  2. It is recommended that the node be in the POWEROFF state prior to any experiment process. If the node is in the POWERON state you can use the omf tell command to get the node into the off state.

    omf tell

    OMF command to control the power state/reset the nodes.

    Usage: omf tell

    user@console:omf tell
    Switch ON/OFF and reboot the nodes in a testbed
    Usage:
          omf tell [-h] -t TOPOLOGY -a ACTION [-c AGGREGATE]
     
          With: 
          -h, --help           print this help message
     
          -a, --action ACTION  specify an action
          ACTION:
          on              turn node(s) ON
          offs            turn node(s) OFF (soft)
          offh            turn node(s) OFF (hard)
          reboot          reboots node(s) (soft)
          reset           resets node(s) (hard)
     
          -h, --help                print this help message
          -t, --topology TOPOLOGY   a valid topology file or description (MANDATORY)
          -c, --config AGGREGATE    use testbed AGGREGATE
     
          Some Examples: 
                        omf tell -a reset -t node1-1.grid.orbit-lab.org
                        omf tell -a on -t system:topo:all -c grid
                        omf tell -a reboot -t node1-1
                        omf tell -a offh -t [1..2,1..5]
                        omf tell -a offh -t system:topo:all
                        omf tell -a reset -t system:topo:imaged
    

    The commands are: on, offh (equivalent to pulling out the power cord), offs (software shutdown), reboot (software reboot) and reset (hardware reset).

    Example: turn off node1-1 on the outdoor domain

  3. Once node set is on an POWEROFF state, load an image with omf 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

    If the node is in the NOT REGISTERED state, you may need to wait for it to recover the POWEROFF state (it some times requires a few moments for the services to sync up). If the node takes more than 60 seconds to come out of the NODE NOT AVAILABLE state please report it to an administrator.
