    77A typical experiment requires the following five steps:
    88
    9  1. Create reservation: before you can access the testebed,you need to [http://www.orbit-lab.org/scheduler/ make a reservation] and get it approved by the  [wiki:Documentation/Scheduler reservation service]. First time users are '''highly''' encouraged to reserve time on a sandbox instead of the main grid, and start with the built-in [wiki:/Tutorials/HelloWorld Hello World] experiment.

For the rest of this tutorial we will assume that user reserved sb1.

    11  3. Load the baseline.ndz image on the nodes in reserved domain. [[CollapsibleStart(Load an image on the nodes)]] [[Include(Documentation/Short/LoadImage)]][[CollapsibleEnd]] Prior to executing the "Hello World" experiment, users need to install an image on the hard disks of the nodes. For this tutorial we will use '''baseline.ndz'''. This image is built on top of '''Ubuntu 12.04''', and is pre-configured with the proper modules and start up scripts to take advantage of the rest of the Orbit services / [wiki:/Hardware hardware].  The imageing process will turn the nodes back off after completing imageing. At this point the nodes disks are imaged with the ''basline'' image and need to be turned back on before proceeding:
    12     {{{
    13       username@console.domain:~$ omf tell -a on -t all
    14     }}}
    15     Give the nodes a couple of minutes to turn on / boot, then check their status with omf stat
