Voslab login instructions:

• ssh into osconsole.rutgers.edu
• you should get a shell in osconsole, from there you can ssh into any machines that we have
• currently we have voslab3 through voslab17 and voslab23
• please login as vosluser, and not as root unless you have to. Sudo is already set up on those machines to allow vosluser to have become root.
• you can ssh as vosluser between our voslab machines, public keys have already been set up.
• The current set up of voslab:
• Integrator/console machine=voslab4
• Validator machine = voslab23
• Apache servers = voslab6,voslab7
• Tomcat servers = voslab8, volab9
• mysql                 = voslab10
• lvs                       =voslab5
• The machines voslab10-17 hasn't been set up

Starting the services:

• Before starting the services, you need to start up the mendosus infrastructure. Go to voslab4, the console machine. Go to /home/vosluser/projects/vivo/scripts and do "./vivo stop" to stop the vivo if it's running. "./vivo start" to start up the infrastructure. "./vivo operator &" to bring up the operator console.
• Bring up lvs if you want to use lvs. Go to /home/vosluser/projects/vivo/scripts and do "./lvs.up" to bring up the lvs, and "lvs.down" to bring down lvs.

• Starting up services seperately. Go to /home/vosluser/projects/vivo/multi-tier/rubis/scripts/ ,you can find different scripts to start up mysql,tomcat, and web servers. To run the scripts you need to be in the directory one above the scripts, because it needs to read the rubis.properties file. 
• After starting up the services, you can verify by pointing a browser to apache servers if you're not using lvs, and point to lvs machine if you are using lvs. Firefox is install on voslab4, and lynx is on almost all the machines.
• Starting up experiments: In the same script directory, there are two scripts run_val.pl and run_no_val.pl to start up a set of experiments, one is a validation version, the other one is non validation. These scripts restart or start up the services and the CLIENTS workload. There're two versions of clients, with lvs or without lvs, you can specify it in the rubis.properties file with the client command.
