Dear Jeongseob and Wang, Thanks for pointing this out. I will fix it in the guide.
The first path in the Simics file typically points to the OS image, like: checkpoint_path: ( “/path/to/os_disk”, “/path/to/binary_disk”, “/path/to/media_streaming_data”, “/path/to/cloudsuite/images/streaming/4cpu”) So, there is no need to replicate the binary disk path twice. -- Cansu On 23 Jun 2014, at 12:07, J Ahn <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: 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. 2014-06-20 18:08 GMT+09:00 J Ahn <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>: Hi Wang You mean that I need to replace the OS path with the binary_disk path? I do not understand why the binary_disk path should be duplicated. 2014-06-20 17:03 GMT+09:00 Wangjintang <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>: For you reference checkpoint_path: ( "/home/mainsd/datasets/binary_disk", "/home/mainsd/datasets/binary_disk", "/home/mainsd/datasets/data_analysis_data", "/home/mainsd/workloads/classification/1cpu") Best Regards, Wang jintang / Jed <image001.jpg> Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
