Hi Amjad,

I am adding geni-users to the distribution. I saw that you also sent an
email to protogeni-users as well, when you need help you can just email
geni-users there is no reason for cross-posting.

I am not sure why you are getting this error. What is your slice name,
what machine (client-id) is giving you this error? Can you check the
availability of space by running 'df -k'?

Cheers,
Niky

Hmm I think that someone from Utah has to take a look to your node and
figure this out. It looks like your hard disk is full but you say that
the output is the same for all OVS hosts and in some of them the command
works so I am out of ideas.

Hi. I am not sure I see in the email what aggregate managers your slivers are on.
Can you provide that info please. Also an rspec would be handy.

Hi. So here is what I did on one of your nodes:

vm> cd /
vm> du -s -h -x *

This indicated that /var had 3.5 gigs in it, which is quite unusual.
Drilling down into /var:

vm> cd /var
vm> du -s -h -x *

I see that all the space is in the logs directory. Drilling down another
level:

vm> cd /var/logs
vm> ls -lS | head -n 5

-rw-rw-r-- 1 root utmp 7716864 Jan 29 17:24 wtmp

We see that there is a giant log file. I have no idea what this log file or
what generates it, but I will not that you are running the Ubuntu1204GIMIOVS2
image, so someone who knows what is running inside this image will have to
say more.

Hi Amjad,

What experiment are you trying to run on this image? Also could you please send us the file omf_rc.log
The path for that file on your node is:
/var/log/omf_rc.log.

Just to clarify, Amhad only care about the OVS in this image, it is just
the one stable OVS image I had so far and shared it with him,
so probably he can shut off the gimi stuff (although it is still useful
to figure out why the logs are so big).

I will go back and work on an OVS-only image.

If this is the recent image we built during the winter camp, I can take a look.
The only thing I can think of now is the log messages that show up when there are no experiments running is the connection to the XMPP server but I cannot imagine this growing up to 3.1GB. Once he sends us the log file from the node, I will take a look.

Send him a public key so you can log in, don't transfer a 3.5 gig file.

Thanks Leigh. Amjad would have to add my key to the portal under SSH keys. Is that correct?

Amjad, my public key is attached here. Could you add this key so that I can take a look at that file?

Thanks.

The easiest way to do this at the moment is to directly edit his
authorized keys file.

Amjad open this file on the node ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and append in
the end the content of the file Divya sent you. Then please send to
Divya the login command you use to login to the nodes, i.e. :
* the username
* the hostname
* the port

Amjad, could you please follow the steps Niky has mentioned above and allow me to login to any one of the nodes? If I can take a look at the entire log file, it may help me to figure out why these logs are so big. 

Also, since how long has your node been up and running (How old is your node)?

Thanks.

Hi Divyashri,

I have tried to follow the steps Niky sent me. But The file is not allowing me to append anything. I think we have to work in alternative way. I have added you public key in my profile. Here I have attached my one. Let me know if you need anything else.

Hi Divyashri,

I have tried to follow the steps Niky sent me. But The file is not allowing me to append anything.
Can you be more specific about what is the error you get?
What you have to do is:
  1. open the file  ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
  2. go to the end of the file
  3. paste in the end the contents of the file that Divya sent
  4. save the file

Can you tell me which of these steps if failing?

Thanks,

I am guessing its becasue the disk is full that any editor that he is trying to open up fails since they require to write a tmp file. I know for a fact that vim does this where in it opens up in read only mode due to the disk being full.

Aw yes, stupid me, you are absolutely right.

Amjad can you send us the content of your /tmp directory?

ls -al /tmp

Also, while we try to debug this you can start in a slice and bring up
your setup. Divya can tell you how to stop the omf service so that this
log does not get that big in your new slice.

Hi Niky,

I can write anything in the "authorized keys" file but it does not allow me to save. In fact I have lost the file's old content when I tried to save from a visual ssh terminal ( MobaXterm). 


Divya please try to login VM-0 or VM-2 because I have lost the content of " authorized_keys" file in  VM-1.

Here is the content of tmp directory:

vm-2:~% ls -al /tmp
total 20
drwxrwxrwt  4 root root 4096 Jan 30 15:17 .
drwxr-xr-x 36 root root 4096 Jan  8 14:19 ..
drwxrwxrwt  2 root root 4096 Jan 28 01:54 .ICE-unix
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 1642 Jan 28 01:54 ntp.conf.new
drwxrwxrwt  2 root root 4096 Jan 28 01:54 .X11-unix


I will try to load the Rspec in another slice.


Thanks

HI Divya,

I have sent you invitation to join the project I am working in. The project name is KENT-MMCSALE and Slice name is KernelOVS. Accept the invitation, then I will be able to add you in my slice. But the problem is, probably you will not be able to access the resources already reserved using Flack. Because I have seen following text in the page where I tried to add you in my project/slice: 

Slice members will be able to login to resources reserved in the future if:

  • The resources were reserved directly through the portal (by clicking Add Resources on the slice page), and
  • The slice member has uploaded an ssh public key.
Problem is with first point. I have reserved resources using Flack.

Now we can do what Niky said. I will reserve same resources in another new slice. You just tell me how to stop OMF service.


Thanks

Hi all,

I found that the log file in var directory increasing continuously. In my another slice, last night ( 11:PM) I found the size of log file 754 but now its 2.2Gb. I didn't run any experiment from last night. 


Thanks

You can stop the OMF service by executing this command on each of your nodes:

sudo service omf_rc stop

This should stop the log file from growing any further.

Hi Divya,
As you are looking into this keep in mind that there are no boot scripts
executed when this image boots. So although there are the gimi stuff
installed gimiboot is not installed and run.

Cheers,
Niky

Hi Amjad,

As I suspected this problem has come up because the resource controller client is not connected to the correct XMPP server because the config file has not been changed. This config file is changed in the postboot script.

When you use GIMI enabled images with InstaGENI, kindly add the following postboot script to your request RSpec to avoid the RC logs filling up.

 <services>
      <execute command="sudo cp /gimibot/gimibot.sh /gimibot/postboot_script.sh /; chmod +x /gimibot.sh; chmod +x /postboot_script.sh; sudo sh /postboot_script.sh" shell="sh"/>
      <install install_path="/" url="http://emmy9.casa.umass.edu/GEC-17/gimibot_omf6.tar.gz"/>
   </services>

In the current resource if you are not interested in using GIMI services you could stop the Resource Controller by running 
sudo stop omf_rc
as Jeanne suggested.  To free up space you could delete the contents of /var/log/omf_rc.log after you execute the above command.

If you would like to use GIMI for measurements, here is a link to an introductory tutorial,


Really sorry about the inconvenience this has caused you.

Thanks Divya. In my experiment I don't need to use GIMI now. So, I will work just stopping the omf service.

Thanks all.
