Last change on this file since c9f5490 was 9c00d41, checked in by Ted Faber <faber@…>, 17 years ago

Mods to generate gateway parameter file and place them in the local project's
/proj hierarchy as well as shipping around the keys required for setup.

Moved to configuration file to avoid remembering all the command line opts.

Moved over to IO:: file handling to stop polluting the global filehandle space.

Updated the docs.

459=head1 NAME
460
461B<splitter.pl>
462
463=head1 SYNOPSIS
464
[9c00d41]465B<splitter.pl> [B<-nd>] [B<-c> F<config_file>] [B<-f> F<experiment_tcl>]
[63f7c7e]466    [F<experiment_tcl>]
[1a8a08a]467
468=head1 DESCRIPTION
469
470B<splitter.pl> invokes the DETER experiment parser to split an annotated
471experiment into multiple sub-experments and instantiates the sub-experiments on
472their intended testbeds.  Annotation is accomplished using the
473tb-set-node-testbed command, added to the parser.
474
475The testbed labels are meaningful based on their presence in the testbeds file.
[9c00d41]476that file can be specified in the configuration file using the B<Testbeds>
477directive, and defaults to F<./testbeds>.  The syntax is described below.
478
479Most of the intermediate files are staged in a sub-directory of a temporary
480files directory and deleted at the end of the script.  Specifying the B<-d>
481flag on the command line avoids the deletion for debbugging.  By default the
482temporary files directory is directory is F</tmp> and can be reset in the
483configuration file using the B<Tmpdir> directive.  Intermediate files are
484stored under a subdirectory formed by adding the process ID of the splitter
485process.  For example, if the temporary files directory is F</tmp> and the
486B<splitter.pl> process ID is 2323, the temporary files will be stored in
487F</tmp/split2323/>.
[1a8a08a]488
489The expreriment is split out into one experiment description per testbed in the
[9c00d41]490temporary directory named as F<experiment.testbed.tcl> where the experiment is
491the experiment ID given in the configuration file, and the testbed is the
492tb-set-node-testbed parameter for the nodes in the file.
[1a8a08a]493
494If the B<-n> option is absent the sub-experiments are then instantiated on
495their testbeds.  (Here B<-n> is analogous to its use in L<make(1)>).
[9c00d41]496Per-testbed parameters are set in the testbeds file.  Sub-experiments on
[1a8a08a]497slave testbeds are instantiated in a random order, but the master testbed is
498currently instantiated last.
499
[9c00d41]500Scripts to start federation (the federation kit) are copied into the local
501experiment's tmp file - e.g., F</proj/DETER/exp/simple-split/tmp>.  These are
502taken from the directory given by the B<ScriptDir> directive in the
503configuration file.
[63f7c7e]504
[1a8a08a]505If any sub-experiment fails to instantiate, the other sub-exeriments are
506swapped out.
507
[9c00d41]508=head2 Configuration File
509
510The configuration file is a simple attribute-value pair set of colon-separated
511parameters and values.  A configuration file must be present, either specified
512in the B<-c> flag or the default F<./splitter.conf>.  All the parameter names
513are case insensitive, but should not include any whitespace.  Parameter values
514may include whitespace, but no newlines.
515
516Possible parameters are:
517
518=over 5
519
520=item Experiment
521
522The name of the experiment on the various testbeds
523
524=item Master
525
526The master testbed label from the testbeds file, described below.
527
528=item Testbeds
529
530The testbeds file described below, giving per-testbed parameters.  If this
531directive is absent the testbeds file defaults to F<./testbeds>
532
533=item ScriptDir
534
535Location of the default federation scripts, i.e. the federation kit.
536
537=item GatewayPubkey
538
539=item GatewaySecretKey
540
541The names of the files containing secret and public keys to use in setting up
542tunnels between testbeds.  These will eventually be automatically generated.
543
544=item TmpDir
545
546=item TempDir
547
548The directory where temporary files are created.  These are synonyms, but
549should both be specified, B<TmpDir> has priority.  If neither is specified,
550F</tmp> is used.
551
552=item Tclparse
553
554The pathname to the experiment parsing program.  Only developers should set
555this.
556
557=item Tclsh
558
559The pathname to the local oTcl shell.  Only developers should set
560this.
561
562=back
563
564=head2 Testbeds file
[1a8a08a]565
566The configuration file (F<./testbeds> unless overridden by B<-c>) is a
567colon-separated set of parameters keyed by testbed name.  The fields, in order,
568are:
569
570=over 5
571
572=item name
573
574The testbed to which this line of parameters applies.
575
576=item user
577
578The user under which to make requests to this testbed.  The user running
579B<splitter.pl> must be able to authenicate as this user under L<ssh(1)> to this
580testbed.
581
[c23025e]582=item host
583
584The host name of the testbed's ops node.  The user calling B<splitter.pl> must
585be able to execute commands on this host via L<ssh(1)>.
586
587=item domain
588
589The domain of nodes in this testbed (including the ops host).
590
[1a8a08a]591=item project
592
593The project under which to instantiate sub-experiments on this testbed.
594
595=item gateway type
596
597The node type for inter-testbed gateway nodes on this testbed.
598
599=item experiment start (slave)
600
601The start command to run on experimental nodes when this testbed is used as a
[9c00d41]602slave.  In all the start commands the string FEDDIR will be replaced by the
603local experiment's federation scripts directory and the string GWCONF replaced
604by the gatway configuration file.
[1a8a08a]605
606=item gateway start (slave)
607
[9c00d41]608The start command to run on gateway nodes when this testbed is used as a slave.
609The same string substitutions are made in this command as in experiment start.
[1a8a08a]610
611=item experiment start (master)
612
613The start command to run on experimental nodes when this testbed is used as a
[9c00d41]614master.  The same string substitutions are made in this command as in
615experiment start.
[1a8a08a]616
617=item gateway start (master)
618
619The start command to run on gateway nodes when this testbed is used as a
[9c00d41]620master.  The same string substitutions are made in this command as in
621experiment start.
[1a8a08a]622
623=item gateway image
624
625The disk image to be loaded on a gateway node on this testbed.
626
627=back
628
[9c00d41]629The parsing of the testbeds is extremely simple.  Colons separate each
[1a8a08a]630field and there is n provision for escaping them at this time.
631
632=head1 ENVIRONMENT
633
634B<splitter.pl> does not directly make use of environment variables, but calls
635out to L<ssh(1)> and (indirectly) to L<sh(1)>, which may be influenced by the
636environment.
