Hi Yuanjun,

This behavior is intentional; resource information is retrieved from cached data. Due to the scale of the system, updating it after each create or delete operation would be resource-intensive. Instead, the cache is refreshed at regular intervals, currently every 30 minutes.

Thanks,

/tmp/fablib/fablib.log log file exists on JH container. Could you please check and share that?

Thanks,

Hi Yuanjun,

Could you please try using upload_directory API and let us know if that works?

Also, are you able to SSH to the VMs? Could you please check if you see any errors in /tmp/fablib/fablib.log ?

If so, please share the log file.

Thanks,

Komal

Hi Ilya,

VM timedout on WASH for this slice. Hypervisor on the worker is currently down. Working to recover it. Will keep you posted.

Hey Yuanjun,

You don’t need to have slice_key and slice_key.pub files. By default, Fablib expects an fabric_rc environment file to be present in the $HOME/work/fabric_config directory. A typical fabric_rc file contains the following:


export FABRIC_ORCHESTRATOR_HOST=orchestrator.fabric-testbed.net
export FABRIC_CREDMGR_HOST=cm.fabric-testbed.net
export FABRIC_CORE_API_HOST=uis.fabric-testbed.net
export FABRIC_AM_HOST=artifacts.fabric-testbed.net
export FABRIC_TOKEN_LOCATION=/Users/kthare10/work/id_token_maint.json
export FABRIC_PROJECT_ID=
export FABRIC_BASTION_HOST=bastion-renc-1.fabric-testbed.net
export FABRIC_BASTION_USERNAME=
export FABRIC_BASTION_KEY_LOCATION=/Users/kthare10/.ssh/bastion-prod-2
export FABRIC_SLICE_PUBLIC_KEY_FILE=/Users/kthare10/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
export FABRIC_SLICE_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE=/Users/kthare10/.ssh/id_rsa
export FABRIC_AVOID=
export FABRIC_SSH_COMMAND_LINE=ssh -i {{ _self_.private_ssh_key_file }} -F /Users/kthare10/work/fabric_config/ssh_config {{ _self_.username }}@{{ _self_.management_ip }}
export FABRIC_LOG_LEVEL=INFO
export FABRIC_LOG_FILE=/tmp/fablib/fablib.log
export FABRIC_BASTION_SSH_CONFIG_FILE=/Users/kthare10/work/fabric_config/ssh_config


It looks like you’re running the Fablib API directly from your laptop. I recommend reviewing the documentation for guidance on the two available approaches. You can find the relevant information here:

• Install Fablib API on your laptop
• Launch Docker Container

Thanks,

Komal

Hi Yuanjun,

Could you please share your fabric_rc file for your environment?

Thanks,

Komal

Hi Sepideh,

Is this still an issue? If so, could you please share your slice ID?

Also, this may happen because of expired bastion keys. Could you please run the notebook:  jupyter_examples-rel1.7.1/configure_and_validate.ipynb ? This notebook will renew your keys if the keys are expired.

Please let us know if this helped.

Thanks,

Komal

Hi Pinxiang,

GUI does not support automatic configuration of IP addresses or complex topologies. When creating a slice from GUI, user is expected to configure the IP addresses manually after logging into the VM. You are right in this case the interface would be enp7s0. This can also be confirmed by matching the MAC address shown in the GUI and the interface.

I would strongly encourage you to try JupyterHub, we have several example available there which might be very helpful.

Please follow the instructions here to setup your Jupyter Hub environment and create a simple slice.

Also, sharing instruction for creating K8s cluster on FABRIC (Example created by Professor Fraida Fund).

Please let us know if you run into any issues or have questions.

Thanks,

Komal

Also, please note FabNetv4 network service is like an internet within Fabric and does not provide external connectivity. Please check out more details about the Network Services offered by Fabric here.

FabNetv*Ext services do offer external connectivity but require special permission to be enabled which can be requested by the Project Lead.

Thanks,

Komal

Hi Pinxiang,

Looking at your slice, you have 3 VMs connected to FabNetv4 service as you mentioned. But the IP addresses are not configured on the respective interfaces on the VMs, hence the traffic does not pass.

Could you please try Fabnetv4 example accessible via start_here.ipynb?

FABNet IPv4 (Layer 3): Connect to FABRIC’s IPv4 internet – it has 3 options auto, manual and full auto.

In the auto, and full auto, API takes care of configuring the IP addresses and traffic should pass on the IPv4 address while in the manual configuration, user is explicitly required to configure the IP addresses.

Please feel free to reach out in case of questions or concers.

Hi Pinxiang,

Could you please share your Slice ID?

Thanks,

Komal

[Komal Thareja]

Hi Sean,

Could you please share the snapshot of the screen from the portal?

Experiments -> Manage SSH Keys -> Bastion

Please include the Bastion User name shown on this screen as well.

In addition, could you please try running the notebook jupyter-examples-rel1.7.0/configure_and_validate.ipynb from the JH. This notebook validates your configuration, creates bastion and sliver keys if not present or expired. Please try a Hello example as well after this to verify if your keys and configuration is  working.

Thanks,

Komal

Hi Nirmala,

We currently do not have an example available for this. But I plan to work on one after the holidays and will share an update with you once I have a working version.

Thanks,

Komal

Hi Prateek,

We recently published the steps to launch a local JH container from your desktop and laptop.

Please consider giving this a try. Also, regarding your existing setup, could you please check fabric_rc is pointing to the correct token location where you have uploaded the newly generated token.

Another thing to verify would be to generate the token via an incognito browser window to ensure any stale cookies.

Please let me know if this helps or you still face issues!

Thanks,

Komal

Hi Ilya,

EDC and NCSA are connected to the same switch and share the same /17 subnet for FabNetv4 allocation. Between these two sites EDC(65) and NCSA(63), we currently have 128 active FabNetv4 services provisioned leaving no available subnet. The error message returned is not user friendly. I will fix the error message in the 1.8 update.

Thanks,

Komal
