+Much of that is useful only for debugging but the last line indicates the final status of the experiment creation.  The two choices are {{{active}}} and {{{failed}}}.
+
+To gather detailed information about how the system has created the experiment, use the {{{fedd_ftopo.py}}} command (ftopo is short for "federated topology").  Here's a sample invocation; again the {{{--experiment_name}}} parameter is the shorthand name returned by {{{fedd_create.py}}} or picked from {{{fedd_multistatus.py}}}.

+The output is colon-separated.  The first fields are:
+
+ * The node name from the experiment layout file
+ * The local names that the individual testbed has given to the node.  These are testbed dependent.  If there is more than one name assigned by the testbed, they will be comma-separated.
+ * The status of the individual node
+ * Operations allowed on the node
+ * The testbed name on which the node is instantiated
+
+The first line describes node {{{d}}}.  It can be accessed at {{{bpc144.isi.deterlab.net}}} and {{{d.fed1-exp1.TIED.isi.deterlab.net}}}.  The node is active, defines no operations, is instantiated on {{{deter/exp1}}}.
