Transition Mechanics

Things to do on the big day:

AWS Portal & Clearinghouse

1. Snapshot both AWS hosts - Done.

2. Set maintenance mode

• N.B. This is a manual process on the AWS clearinghouse host

  # Portal:
  sudo geni-manage-maintenance --set-outage \
      "18-Jan-2017 3:00 p.m. UTC: The GENI Portal is down for scheduled maintenance."
  
  # Clearinghouse:
  sudo sh -c 'echo "18-Jan-2017 3:00 p.m. UTC: The GENI Portal is down for scheduled maintenance." > /etc/geni-chapi/geni_maintenance_outage.msg'
  

GPO (nye.gpolab.bbn.com)

1. Enter maintenance mode

   sudo geni-manage-maintenance --set-outage \
       "18-Jan-2017 3:00 p.m. UTC: The GENI Portal is down for scheduled maintenance."
   
   sudo geni-manage-maintenance --clear-alert
