  1. Client Installation • ACGRID-III (Hanoi) • 1 November 2011

  2. Tutorial Infrastructure • Reference Cloud Infrastructure • Allow users to test a StratusLab cloud without having to install one • Ask for real account via support@stratuslab.eu • Or soon, via the Registration Service… • In this tutorial we will be using: • Endpoint: cloud-lal.stratuslab.eu • Your username and password.

  3. Prerequisites • Client allows remote access and control of VMs in cloud. • Client has minimal prerequisites: • Python 2.6+ (but not Python 3.x) • Java 1.6+ (for metadata signatures/validation) • SSH client with user keypair • Certificate (grid is OK) for signing image metadata entries • Support for multiple platforms: • Fedora 14(tarball and RPM package) • Other linux systems (tarball) • Mac OSX (tarball) • Windows (tarball)

  4. Tarball Download • Install client via OS-independent tarball/zip: • Create the directory: $HOME/stratuslab • Follow links from “Get Started” button on http://stratuslab.eu/ • Download the tarball (stratuslab-cli-user-zip-*.tar.gz|*.zip) • Untar the tarball there: tar zxfmytarball $HOME/stratuslab • Configure path variables: • Define: PATH=$HOME/stratuslab/bin:$PATH • Define: PYTHONPATH=$HOME/stratuslab/lib/stratuslab/python • Test: stratus-run-instance --help • Adjust for other OSes/packages/shells as necessary.

  5. Authn/Authz Configuration • Ensure that you have an SSH keypair: • Generate: ssh-keygen • StratusLab client configuration: • Create the directory: $HOME/.stratuslab • cp $HOME/stratuslab/conf/stratuslab-user.cfg.ref ~/.stratuslab/stratuslab-user.cfg • Edit ~/.stratuslab/stratuslab-user.cfg: • endpoint = cloud-lal.stratuslab.eu • username = XX • password = XX • key = $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

  6. Test Client Configuration • Run a command to list your VMs on the infrastructure. • Run: stratus-describe-instance • If working: • If not working, ask a StratusLab person for help! $ stratus-describe-instance id state vcpu memory cpu% ip name
