Oh, I see.

Probably a good idea to mention in the upgrade announcement, if existing users are supposed to re-run the configuration notebook. The announcement just said “minimal impact to the existing notebooks” 😉

(Actually, a changelog that lists all the user-facing changes to fablib would be very helpful when there is an upgrade.)

Will the official “Configure your Environment” notebook be updated to reflect this new recommendation?

Thanks!

> If you have collaborators/students who need to use Google accounts, we need the project lead to provide a list of users/Google accounts that we should approve and we will approve them as they come in.

What is the process you would prefer for this?  is there a support email we should send these emails to?

Also: I have a collaborator who just tried to join, whose institution was not on the list, so I think she did it through NCSA since she had an NCSA account from previous GENI use. Do I need to do anything special to get her approved? (Not sure where NCSA shakes out in all this.)

> One other possibility is if an institution is not listed on the CIlogon page but the institution uses Google as a email provider.

Unrelated question: if someone

1. first uses FABRIC with institution that is listed CIlogon page

2. then tries to use FABRIC with Google with institutional email

will this be one FABRIC account since it is tied to the same email, or two separate FABRIC accounts?

Thanks for the update!

It would be useful if the sphinx docs for this function (and similar ones) would briefly mention what they do “under the hood” in cases where it’s not obvious.

For example, I have some teaching experiments that remove the default route (first replacing it with a more specific routes to maintain SSH access) in order to show what happens when there is no route to a particular destination. I also have some research experiments that change the default route in order to route most Internet traffic through another host in the testbed topology. So it would be useful to know when I should expectget_management_os_interface() to fail. (Even besides for old software versions.)

Hi! I did a bunch of other execute calls for that node in the same notebook, no problem with those.

FYI – the 504 Gateway Time-out error is still happening for me when I create a new topic on this forum.

[Fraida Fund]

Also, both today (on this post) and yesterday, when I create a new topic on this forum, it takes a long time to load and then times out with nginx error 504 Gateway Time-out. (It does still create the topic.)

I think it’s easier if all of the get_x functions behave in a similar way. What happens with add_node/get_node or add_network/get_network if you try to use the same name more than once?

[Fraida Fund]

Cool, thanks, that should work for now.

[Fraida Fund]

Thanks. I am somehow under the impression that right now, the “sliver key” in the FABRIC portal doesn’t do anything – is that right or did I misunderstand that? So for the moment, the only key installed in a sliver is one from the Jupyter environment, and I can’t ssh/scp from my laptop.

Thanks!

Will we be able to:

* access data in persistent storage directly from the Jupyter environment, without necessarily having an active slice?

* use something like fablib download_file to transfer a file that is too big for “work” directly from a FABRIC node to the persistent storage?

* access the persistent storage space directly (without having to copy stuff to “work”) to do data analysis in the same notebook as the rest of the experiment?

[Fraida Fund]

Related question 😉

How do I copy a file off a FABRIC node if the file does not fit in /home/fabric/work?

[Fraida Fund]

How stable is this API? Should we expect lots of changes in the near future, or not too much?
