In this -way the host environment of the node will get the tools needed to -manage the 3G umts/hsdpa interface. Then, you have to add the vsys -attribute to the sliver you want to grant the access to the umts/hsdpa -interface. The value of this attribute ("vsys") has to be set to -"umts_backend" +With the OneLab distribution, you need to add 'umts' to the +'extensions' tag of your node; this tag contains a space-separated +list of software extensions to be installed on a node, so that your +nodes has the tools needed to manage the 3G umts/hsdpa interface. This +needs to be done before you install your node. Note that with the lxc +distribution this code now is shipped on all nodes so there is no need +anymore to deal with the 'extensions' tag. + +Then, the slivers (or slices) you want to grant access to the +umts/hsdpa interface need to have a 'vsys' tag named 'umtsd'. Please read README.user for further explanations on how the 3G umts/hsdpa interface is supported. - -[1] At the moment this can only be done by calling the -PlanetLab/Onelab APIs; however we provided a python script (called -add_to_nodegroup.py) that can be used to do this operation automatically. - ======================================================================== SUPPORTED CARDS -At present the Globetrotter 3G/HSDPA and MERLIN U530 UMTS PCMCIA are -supported.
