Example of an RSpec request to create a single node with a disk image loaded on it.

On the Emulab Component Manager, you can request one of several disk images to be loaded on a node during sliver creation. Each image has a different Operating System installed. If no disk image is specified, a default image will be used which is typically an old Redhat 9 image.

Most nodes at Emulab can use the following two image names:

• urn:publicid:IDN+emulab.net+image+emulab-ops//FBSD72-STD
• urn:publicid:IDN+emulab.net+image+emulab-ops//FEDORA10-STD
