There are two mistakes in the guideline (
http://parsa.epfl.ch/simflex/doc/deploy_cloudsuite.pdf).
Firstly, as Wang mentioned earlier, the checkpoint_path is incorrect. It
produces the error output as follows.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[error] setting attribute files in besim_sd0_image:
Error opening file /slice.1: No such file or directory
Error while loading a configuration: Failed to initialize all objects
This has left the configuration system in an inconsistent state.
Restarting Simics is recommended.
Failed to initialize all objects
Failed reading configuration
simics>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To fix the problem, we should fix the path like below.
checkpoint_path: ("/home/flexus/datasets/binary_disk",
"/home/flexus/datasets/binary_disk",
"/home/flexus/datasets/nutch-disks",
"/home/flexus/workloads/nutch/1cpu")
Secondly, there is no 'save-configuration' command in Simics 3.0.31. We
need to replace 'save-configuration' with 'write-configuration' to create
initial checkpoint as phase_000.
