*** create_slivers:
    1 d740 node(s) at Emulab are not reserved for the duration of the experiment

Hi 
could someone provision a d740 for my experiment, I have the error shown above.  If possible could the end time also be extended (urgent by Dr Aloizio) to make up for the delay in starting the experiment.

Thanks
Habib

Please always provide a link to your experiment, failed or otherwise,
when reporting issues. We cannot help you if we don't know where to
look.

Also note that your message arrived in the evening, after regular work
hours for POWDER staff. We do not provide 24/7 support. Anything
arriving after about 5:30 PM Mountain Time may not be seen or acted on
until the following day. I.e., while staff will sometimes respond
after hours, this should never be relied upon unless prior
arrangements have been made.

I have updated your reservation.

Hi there,

I dont think I can initialize a multigNB_indoor_ota (Repo: 8c5c70e3, refs/heads/main) experiment as it requires a d740 or d430 as the compute nodes for the CN and SDR. My reservation currently has d710 and d740, am I correct in thinking that with this reservation I cannot make this experiment. I am thinking I need to change the d710 to a d430 or a d740 but if my thinking is wrong and there is a workaround please let me know. 

Thanks
Habib

Hi,

I wanted to create an experiment in "multigNB_indoor_ota (Repo: 8c5c70e3, refs/heads/main)" profile. But, it shows I can only use computing nodes d740 and d430 whereas my reserved nodes are d740 and d710. Is it possible to provide access d430 instead of d710 ?? or how to use d710 to create experiment in  "multigNB_indoor_ota (Repo: 8c5c70e3, refs/heads/main)" profile ?? please let me know.

Thanks
Habib

Your reservation expired because you let it (and the associated
resources) sit idle for too long. This is something you were warned
about. Please plan your next reservation around when you will be
available, and be sure to include all resources needed for your
experiments.
