Thank you for being such a great help! It’s just my experiment involves a huge amount of dataset and I have to redownload it every time I recreate the slice. Anyways, I think automation could be a great help and I’ll incorporate it into my workflow in no time.

Best,

Hi Paul,

Sorry to bother you again, but actually I see the same issue several times. I tried different sites (including Utah, TACC), and the connection will automatically close after a certain period of time.

I feel like this is a renewal issue, but I renew the slice just according to the Jupyter examples. Also the status of the slice/node is still active, could you please help me with it? Thanks!

Renew the slice:

import datetime

#Set end host to now plus 1 day
end_date = (datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(days=2)).strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")

try:
slice = fablib.get_slice(name=slice_name)
slice.renew(end_date)
except Exception as e:
print(f"Exception: {e}")

Got it. Thanks so much!

Best,

Yes the ssh worked perfectly before, and the experiments are just some local simulation/data-analysis work which definitely has nothing to do with IP or route.

I remember I was running the python-based data analysis experiment at that time (which I have successfully run before on the VM), and after a while it said the connection is closed by the remote host and I can not get access to the VM anymore.

Thanks,

Guanlong

Thank you so much Paul!!

Actually I renewed my slice in the very beginning, but the lease-end didn’t change. I guess it’s just a display problem because when I tried to renew a shorter lease-end it gives me the “HTTP response body: Attempted new term end time is shorter than current slice end time” (please refer to the attached).

Also, now the slice still exists (no matter from FabricPortal/Experiments/Myslices, or by get_slice function in fablib application). The slice state is still “StableOK” and the lease-end is still the old one (Please refer to the attached).

Sorry for the late reply due to different timezones 🙂

 

Thanks,

Guanlong
