Documentation for the OpenFabrics Fabric Software Development Platform (FSDP)
The lab is available to members of the Open Fabrics Alliance, to support the development and mainteance of fabric drivers and software, as well as the upstream activities, such as the Linux Kernel.
Usage of the lab is doverned by an Acceptable Usage Policy
External users will connect to the lab and the systems hosted therein over an openVPN connection. Once connected, the networks shown below are available to the user directly over the VPN.
Unless ohterwise noted, users should have access to each system (test nodes, PDUs, etc.) in the lab via either their SSH key, or their password. We are, to the extend possible, avoiding the use of any shared or published credentials for the systems.
The figure below shows the general layout of the lab network. The Lab Network Information page provides additional information about the lab systems, including lists of host names, etc.
Each lab user must have an account to access the lab through the OpenVPN connection. Accounts should be requested by completing the Account Creation Request Form and submitting the completed form, along with the user's public SSH key to FSDP Account Request Email.
Once the account has been created by the lab staff, the lab will notify the user, by email, providing the temporary, one-time-use password. As part of the email notification, the lab will provide an OpenVPN configuration file.
Once connected to the OpenVPN, users can reach the lab resources, including the Beaker Server, lab infrastructure, and the test nodes. The Network Information page provides additional details for the resources and hardware within the lab. The Test Nodes page describes the systems within the cluser, and the cards installed and connected fabrics.
Users connecting to the lab for the first time should immedately SSH into the builder-00.ofa.iol.unh.edu server, following to prompts to change their password. This username and password will be used to access all resrouces within the lab.
It is recommended each company appoint a primary delegate, who will notify the OFA and FSDP lab of any staffing changes that require the deactivation or removal of any FSDP lab accounts. The Account Deletion Request Form should be used for this purpose.
