DYNES-Deployments

[William Deigaard <>]

Brian,

The IP you listed is correct for the Rice IDC.  The vm running on it is at 
168.7.170.200.


I continued to work on the issue after we sent the email below.  I believe 
most of that was caused by poor formulation of the src and dst sites in the 
OSCARS web interface.

When using the FDTAgent, I found that the most telling error was found in the 
/var/log/oscars/api.out file on the IDC VM:

ERROR ts=2013-07-02T10:43:38.794000Z 
event=OSCARSInternal-API.SubscribeManager05.getSubscription.end 
guid=dynes.rice.edu-V05-a15b14d6-4bae-42f2-9734-1456633934c1 
gri=dynes.rice.edu-319 errSeverity=MAJOR status=-1 msg="Problem writing SAAJ 
model to stream" 
url=https://learn-idc2.tx-learn.net:8443/axis2/services/OSCARSNotify 


I was planning on talking with the LEARN folks about the health and happiness 
of their IDC, but if we're planning on going to OESS sooner rather than 
later, I'll hold off on that.


And lastly, the Dell representative is willing to come to Rice to do the same 
firmware upgrade (to get to Openflow) that was already done at UofH.  Should 
we arrange for that for you, or do you want to do it?

Thanks.
