Hi Yuanjun,

I suspect the bastion keys are expired. These keys are only on your JH container and are not pushed to your VMs. Sliver keys i.e. VM keys should not be affected. The error indicated above for SSH failure indicates login to bastion server was denied and hence the suggestion.

 

The error observed in the multi-processing pool cleanup can be ignored. We will address that error but it should not impact regeneration of the keys. Could you please see if you are able to SSH to your VMs?

Bastion key expiry can also be verified from the portal via: Experiments -> Manage SSH Keys.

Thanks,

Komal

Hi,

Please refer to the site details to view the available GPU models. For instance, the STAR site offers RTX600 and Tesla T4 GPUs. You can verify this information at [STAR site details](https://portal.fabric-testbed.net/sites/STAR).

Thanks,

Hi Yuanjun,

I suspect your bastion keys have expired. Could you please re-run the notebook to regenerate your bastion keys jupyter-examples-rel1.7.0/configure_and_validate.ipynb ?

Please let us know if you still run into errors.

Thanks,

Komal

Hi Tianrui,

Users do not have sudo access on the JupyterHub container. To install Python packages, please use the command pip install <package name> --user.

Thanks,

Please consider checkingthe following examples on how to use these services:

https://github.com/fabric-testbed/jupyter-examples/tree/main/fabric_examples/fablib_api/create_l3network_fabnet_ipv6ext_manual

Feel free to reach out in case you run into issues or have queries.

Thanks,

Hi Sourya,

You will need permission for FabNetv*Ext services to enable public connections to your VMs. This request can be made by your Project Lead. For more details, please check here!

Hi Prateek,

This looks like a bug, we have a race condition which is preventing the updates to the Slice Graph Model. I will work on addressing this. For now as a workaround, you can determine the IP Addresses via slice commander using show commands. Refer https://learn.fabric-testbed.net/knowledge-base/using-slicecommander-with-fabric/ for slice-commander usage.

Alternatively, you can get the sliver information also via

for s in slice.get_slivers():

print(s._sliver) # This is a json object will provide the needed information

Thanks,

Komal

Hi Prateek,

Could you please share your slice ID?

Hi Kriti,

This looks like a version mismatch for the fabrictestbed-extensions. Are you running into this any of the JH containers? If so, please ensure you have no entries in /home/fabric/work/fabric_config/requirements.txt and then restart your JH container via File -> Hub Start Control Panel -> Stop My Server -> Start My Server.

 

If you are running into this on you local environment, please consider updating to the latest fablib via

pip install fabrictestbed-extensions==1.7.3

Thanks,

Komal

Thank you, @yoursunny, for the excellent suggestion!

@Jestus,

In addition to @yoursunny’s point, the Project Lead for your project will need to request permissions to enable FabNetv*Ext services. You can find more details here.

Additionally, we recommend avoiding the use of the management interface for data transfer and instead utilizing the FABNetv4Ext/FABNetv6Ext services. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or comments.

Thanks,
Komal

Just closing the loop here as the issue was resolved over a short zoom call.

The error message “The token is not yet valid (iat)” indicates that the token’s “issued at” (iat) timestamp is set in the future compared to the current time. This can happen if there is a clock discrepancy between the system where the token was generated and the system validating the token.

Time on the server was behind current time, synching the clock with NTP server resolved the error.

Thanks,

Komal

Hi Yu,

I created a token and successfully validated it using the Credential Manager, but I am unable to reproduce the issue you’re experiencing. This error can sometimes occur due to stale cookies in the browser. Could you please try opening https://cm.fabric-testbed.net/ in an incognito window, then generate and validate the token? Let me know if the error persists.

Thanks,

Komal

Hi Yuanjun,

You can check the GPU types from the portal. For example information about STAR can be found here: https://portal.fabric-testbed.net/sites/STAR

Hi Prateek,

I recommend setting up your own FABRIC environment on your laptop or machine to run your experiments. This approach will allow you to capture more data and reduce reliance on Jupyter Hub. Consider configuring a local Python environment for the FABRIC API as described here, and run the notebooks locally.

Thanks,

Komal
