    77In an OMF testbed, everything is a resource. The entity that controls one or multiple resources is called Resource Controller (RC). The RC can run directly on the resource (e.g. a PC), or run on a separate computer that can control the resources (e.g. a bunch of sensor nodes or an !OpenFlow switch). OMF is designed to support many different types of resources, and additional RCs for those resources can make use of our OMF APIs.

    1616OMF could run under Ruby with versions not earlier than 1.9.3. Your operating system most likely have this version available by the time of writing this documentation. If you do require information regarding installing Ruby, please see official ruby site, or simply search for it.

    4343OMF6 currently supports XMPP and AMQP for its message transport. Only one message transport is required.
    … …  
    4747TEST OPERATORS need to install a communication server in their testbed. It should be reachable from the outside Internet if any of the testbed users are on the outside of your organisation or if you want to federate your testbed with another organisation over the public Internet. DEVELOPERS might just run a server on their local machine for development.

    81 ==== XMPP Server (Openfire) Installation ====
     81===== XMPP Server (Openfire) Installation =====
    8282For OMF, we recommend using Openfire. Other XMPP servers may work as well, but this has not been extensively tested. Ejabberd is known to have some issues regarding node permissions and database cleanup. If are upgrading from an older Openfire release and you have trouble running OMF, please wipe your Openfire database and recreate the pubsub nodes.

    151151Ruby's ERB syntax is used here to set the UID (topic name) to the output of the Ruby command Socket.gethostname. We assume that the host name of each node is unique (e.g. assigned via DHCP), so we can use the same configuration file for all of them.

    153 ==== Start RC ====
     153===== Start RC =====
    154154If you want to start the RC using an init script and you installed this script with the '-i' flag above, you can start the daemon like this:

    177177Using the same XMPP URI as in the RC config file and your local machine's hostname (run hostname to find out), unless you changed the :uid: parameter in the RC config file to another name. Watch the output for any lines starting with ERROR. If the RC could be contacted successfully at the "test" topic, your resource is ready to run experiments.

    191191To check if a particular resource controller responds to FRCP messages properly, simply send a FRCP REQUEST message to the resource, and expect an answer from it. OMF provides a tiny utility to do exactly this:
