The Slice
When you first log into Flack, you will see the map of the Protogeni resources and a listing of your slices. Starting from this tutorial, you will have no slices.
Create a new slice by typing the name of the slice in the text box to replace the text "Create slice...". Slice names must be unique per aggregate. An easy way to keep track of this is to use your user name as part of the slicename. For this tutorial, use the slice name given in your handout.
Press enter/return to create the slice.
The Slice window will appear with the new slice name in the upper left. In this case the name is "gslice1".
Nodes can be added to the slice by dragging from the aggregate where you want to create the node.
There are 4 basic node types to choose from. From left to right we have
raw, exclusive virtual, shared virtual and delay.
To see and edit information about the node, click on the i icon.
Click "Cancel" to close the information window.
Drag another node from utahemulab.cm onto the slice window.
Nodes can be connected together by dragging the green "+" signs. Connect the two nodes.
Add a third node, this time from ukgeni.cm. Connect it to both of the utahemulab.cm nodes.
Close the slice window using the "x" in the upper right. When asked to clear the changes say "Yes".
