This page contains instructions for WiMAX site administrators that describe how to GIMI-enable a WiMAX site. If you are looking for instructions on how to use GIMI functionality on a WiMAX site, please see the user instructions.

Overview

A GENI site is considered GIMI-enabled if a user can, without an unreasonable expenditure of effort, use the site to:

• Execute an experiment with OMF
• Instrument an experiment with OML
• Archive experiment measurements to iRODS

The steps required to set up OMF have already been described extensively on this wiki and at ​https://www.mytestbed.net/projects/omf/wiki/Installation, so they will not be covered here. Similarly, the steps required to install an OML server are described ​here.

The steps required to instrument an experiment with OML are already well documented as well. Use these links to find out how to

• Instrument an application that is written in ​C/C++, ​Ruby, or ​Python or
• ​Write a wrapper for an application written in another language, or one whose source code is not available
• Create an ​application definition for your application

This document primarily describes how to provide tools for users to archive an experiment to iRODS. This consists of three parts:

• Installing icommands
• Installing the extra iarchive script
• Setting up iRODS accounts for users
• Installing the iRODS web frontend (optional)
