an alternate "filename" for the dhcpd.conf file.  "Inner plabs" are likely
to need this (to boot pxelinux for emulating the plab boot CD).

dhcpd_makeconf picks up the DB field and sets the filename field accordingly.

nfree will invoke dhcpd_makeconf if any node being freed has a non-NULL
pxe_boot_path value, in order to reset it.

like templates won't be possible in elabinelab unless its a 6.0
elabinelab (which is my default these days).

Add a 'Syntax Check' button like the one on beginexp so that you
can syntax check without loosing all your edits if you had
syntax errors.

Add a file upload box and an option to use an NS file on ops,
like the beginexp page has.

Maybe we should try to find a spiffy ajax editor for this page?

First cut at a tool for measuring scheduling latency.  It will be used to
run some trials to see how accurate we can get when scheduling events on
Planetlab nodes.

you can turn it on in your devel tree by setting the $EXPOSETEMPLATES
variable in www/defs.php3.in to 1. BE SURE NOT TO CHECK THAT CHANGE IN!

planetlab, not inside Emulab.

Note, you shouldn't run this by hand, let run-monitor-libnetmon.sh run
it - it wants to have the EXPERIMENT and PROJECT env variables set.

convention the script expects.

couple of MFS booting problems:
 * in the RPC power controller, make sure that an "on" command succeeds
   by checking the status, retrying if it failed (we already did this for
   "off")
 * if nodes fail to boot up the MFS after a power on, try again with a
   power cycle.  I have seen "power on" leave pc600s hung, and a power
   cycle seems to cure it.

Let's increase the idle check period a bit...

Hmm, we even called ourselves Netlab in one place. :)

Minor bugfix.

Some event system fixes for the plab proxy and testing enhancements to tbsend.

* event.c / event.h

Fix assertion failure that appears to be caused by notifications coming in
on a subscription that is pending deletion (via async API call).

Also add idle polling to the ops endpoint connection to help maintain
connectivity (will do failover).

Add function to set failover flag on connection handle.

* tbsend.c

Add ability to set connection retry, failover, idle polling, and perform
looped and triggered testing.

this means we should now be able to invoke them via the program agent.

instead of 'netbed', and has new text at the bottom.  We may do a
redisgn of the page header, but for now, I was getting sick of the
banner saying 'netbed'.

Approved by Jay.

The .svg file is the source used to generate the gifs. To generate
a gif, export the page from inkscape into a png, then use
'convert overlay.png overlay.gif' - we need a gif, rather than a
png, because IE's png transparency support is broken. The font used,
which you'll need to edit it, is Emblem, which is free.

Change the email going to testbed-errors from:

  From: user
  To: user
  Cc: testbed-errors

to

  From: testbed-ops
  To: user
  Bcc: testbed-errors
  X-NetBed-Cc: testbed-errors

This should cause all replies to these message to go to testbed-ops
instead of testbed-errors.  The only thing is that you need to be
careful when replying since if you only reply to the sender than it
will go to testbed-ops only and not to the user.  I was also thinking
about changing the other swap* failures messages still going to
testbed-ops in a similar way but due to the reply issue for those on
testbed-ops I will hold off on that for now unless someone else thinks
it's a good idea.

The addition of the X-NetBed-Cc header is to make filtering the email
easier since the fact that it is going to testbed-errors will no
longer be in the header.  This header is also present in the swap*
failures messages still going to testbed-ops.

doesn't have to redo the layout after they load.

installing a second one.

Fixed a time-calculation bug in the monitor. Added bandwidth and base-rtt calculations based on TCP-vegas. Miscellaneous cleanups.

TODOs

Don't start the plab renew daemon anymore.

Fix up plab renewal for current scheme.  We must now go out to each sliver
individually and ask for it to be renewed.  I've added a new script to be
run out of cron that will run through and attempt to renew all active slices.
If a node cannot be renewed with its slice and comes sufficiently close to
it's recorded expiration (currently two weeks out), mail will be sent to
testbed ops warning about this situation.  Note that there will only be
one email message per slice, containing a list of all nodes at risk for
expiration.  The plab renewal daemon will no longer run as a result of
this change.  Note that this is sort of a hack.  The better way would be
to have the daemon perisistenly try to renew nodes that have failed until
success, but that will take more work, and I might farm it off to the
plab monitoring daemon anyway.

Hhave swapexp/batchexp dump the error when the -w" option is
specified.  The error will look something like:

  ERROR:: <cause desc>

  <text of the error>

  Cause: <cause>
  Confidence: <confidence>

This will be the last thing printed.  The "::" is there to make
recognizing the error easy to scripts since they can just look for the
"ERROR::".

Add "plabeventkeys" tmcc command to libtmcc.pm

* Add Princeton IP subnet to the allowed list for viewing plabstats.php3
* Mention PlanetLab AUP on EZ creation page.
* Change language a bit RE PlanetLab AUP on the Portal doc page.
