Setup on users

/share/benito/{qemu,mixed}_experiment.py

• partition nodes (qemu_experiment only)
• create physical topo and DETER experiment
• call the python scripts described below

/share/benito/setup/*.py

• embed nodes onto pnodes
• assign experiment IPs
• configure networking (VDE switches, wirefilter shaping)
• calculate static routes
• configure control net IPs for QEMU

On-Node Setup

/share/benito/setup

• hv
  • bootstrap
    • node start command (pnode), rc.local entry (qemu)
    • mainly exists to install required python modules needed by all other scripts, including hv setup
    • calls hv exactly once
  • hv
    • sets up hv:hv
    • creates upstart script for booting on pnode/qemu
    • installs debs
    • calls other scripts in this dir to set up children hv's
  • qemu - calls scripts in /var/benito/setup/qemu in numerical order
  • process - same as qemu
• qemu - numbered sequence of scripts for creating qemu vnodes
• process - same as qemu

Boot

• pnode: upstart entry launches hv:hv, which launches children hv's
• qemu: same upstart entry as pnodes

scripts to launch hv's and their children are in /share/benito/launch. Each hv has its own subdirectory, and the main script that launches the hv is named hv.
