Prerequisite

This sample experiment requires sandbox 7 (sb7.orbit-lab.org) and the two nodes (node1-1 & node1-2).

The tutorial experiment

This experiment is given in the attached script wimax-tutorial2.rb​. Download this file to your home directory.

To run this experiment:

1. ssh into sandbox 7

   ssh sb7.orbit-lab.org
   

2. Image node1-1 & node1-2 with wimax.ndz (this should be in the repository)

   omf-5.2 load [1,1..2] wimax.ndz
   

The output of the imaging command should look similar to the following:

nilanjan@console.sb7:~$ omf-5.2 load [1,1..2] wimax.ndz

3. Once the imaging process is complete, we need to turn the nodes on

   omf-5.2 tell on [1,1..2]
   

Use the following command to query the status of the node to see is they are on

omf-5.2 stat

nilanjan@console.sb7:~$ omf-5.2 stat
 INFO NodeHandler: init OMF Experiment Controller 5.2.408
-----------------------------------------------
 INFO Topology: Loading topology 'system:topo:all'.
 Testbed : sb7.orbit-lab.org
 Node n_1_1 - State: POWERON
 Node n_1_2 - State: POWEROn
-----------------------------------------------

4. Run the experiment script (from above)

   omf-5.2 exec wimax-tutorial2.ndz
   

The output of the experiment script should be similar to the following:

nilanjan@console.sb7:~$ omf-5.2 exec wimax-tutorial2.rb
