0. Getting Started
Before you can complete any of the tutorials, you will need to have followed these prerequisites:
Make a reservation
Login into reserved domain
Login into reserved domain
During your approved time slot, you will be able to ssh into the console of the respective domain. A console is a dedicated machine that allows access to all resources in that domain.
For example, to access the sandbox1:
yourhost>ssh username@console.sb1.orbit-lab.org Using username "username". Authenticating with public key "xxxxxxxxx" Welcome to Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-36-generic x86_64) * Documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/ System information as of Mon Jan 28 20:25:50 EST 2013 System load: 0.0 Processes: 93 Usage of /: 2.7% of 69.43GB Users logged in: 0 Memory usage: 6% IP address for eth0: 10.50.18.10 Swap usage: 0% IP address for eth1: 10.18.0.10 Graph this data and manage this system at https://landscape.canonical.com/ 9 packages can be updated. 0 updates are security updates. |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | *** For authorized use only *** | | This system is for the use of authorized users only.

Check the status
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 gridIndividual 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

1. Basic Tutorial
1.1 Tutorials on controlling the testbed nodes
- How to load (install) a disk image on a set of nodes
- How to save an existing disk image from one node
- How to query the status of a set of nodes
- How to switch On/Off a set of nodes
1.2 Introductory Experiments
This section gives an introduction to the ORBIT testbed, its capabilities and its operations. It also presents the basic knowledge required to write and execute experiments for the testbed.
If you are new to the ORBIT testbeds, reading and running the tutorial in this section should help you getting started.
The first part of this tutorial briefly describes the ORBIT Testbed, its system architecture and its hardware and software components. The second part presents and describes a simple "Hello World" experiment with one sender and one receiver. The third and concluding part covers the collection an interpretation of measurements and results of an experiments on the ORBIT testbed.
- Brief tour of the Testbed
- First Experiment: the "Hello World" Example
- How measurements are collected
- How to post-process these measurements
2. Additional refrences
After completing the above basic tutorial, you should have a better understanding of using the ORBIT testbed to experiment your ideas, algorithms, or protocols. The tutorials in this second section further explore the various ORBIT functions that will help you write and execute more advanced experiments.
