Rspecrequesttarballexample
Example of an RSpec request for a node with software to install and run at startup.
This is a request which specifies a tarball to download and run together with a simple startup script on a node:
After you have created your rspec, you can take a look at ServicesFaq for more help on getting your shell script to run properly on the node itself.
RSpec V2 Example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <rspec xmlns="http://www.protogeni.net/resources/rspec/2" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.protogeni.net/resources/rspec/2 http://www.protogeni.net/resources/rspec/2/request.xsd" type="request" > <node client_id="node"> <sliver_type name="raw-pc" /> <services> <install url="http://example.net/path/tarball.tgz" install_path="/local"/> <install url="http://example.net/path/other.tgz" install_path="/usr/local"/> <execute shell="sh" command="sudo /local/myserver.sh"/> </services> </node> </rspec>
RSpec V0.1 Example (Deprecated)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <rspec xmlns="http://www.protogeni.net/resources/rspec/0.1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.protogeni.net/resources/rspec/0.1 http://www.protogeni.net/resources/rspec/0.1/request.xsd" type="request" > <node virtual_id="my-node" virtualization_type="emulab-vnode" exclusive="1" tarfiles="/local http://www.protogeni.net/example.tar.gz" startup_command="/bin/echo Example Text Here > /local/example.txt; /bin/cat /local/example/text.txt >> /local/example.txt"> <node_type type_name="pc" type_slots="1"/> <interface virtual_id="control"/> </node> </rspec>
The above request is suitable for asking a component manager for a single node. The component manager will uncompress the file at "http://www.protogeni.net/example.tar.gz" into the path "/local" on the node and then execute a simple shell program on that node.
Note that "http://www.protogeni.net/example.tar.gz" doesn't point to a valid file.
