These are useful files and scripts for the FNAL evaluation of CTA

• Go to https://fcl1801.fnal.gov/dashboard/project/
• Select Project Services/storage
• Create new instance with 2 CPUs and 4 GB of RAM. Select the and the sl7_smalldisk_v1 image
• Wait a few minutes to let puppet finish the node setup ssh root@[IP ADDRESS] (take note of node name for future logins) If logging in by IP doesn't work (doesn't work for Eric from home), do dig -x IP_ADDRESS to get the hostname and use that instead.

git clone https://github.com/ericvaandering/CTAEvaluation.git
~/CTAEvaluation/scripts/bootstrap_k8s.sh (this runs as root)

then follow the instructions given to work through the other three stages. The other stages all run as CTA, so su - cta at the beginning. There is a reboot needed between stage 1 and stage 2 There is a check that image creation worked between stage 2 and stage 3. I often find I need to restart docker again and run prepareImage.sh multiple times.

One everything is up and running you can then try running various tests like

cd ~/CTA/continuousintegration/orchestration/tests/
./archive_retrieve.sh

or running individual commands on the CLI: kubectl --n cta exec ctacli -- cta-admin tape ls --all

In the case where authorizataion failed, you need to renew the kerberos token for the CLI with:

kubectl -n cta exec ctacli -- kinit -kt /root/ctaadmin1.keytab [email protected]

(this differes a bit from what is in the documentation). You can also save a bit of time by invoking a shell directly on the client machine with

kubectl -n cta exec -it ctacli -- bash

and from there just issue cta-admin commands directly.
