Latest news
Grid'5000 now offers IPv6 connectivity to Internet from nodes !
To get a global IPv6 address on an interface, you can run dhclient -6 <interface> on your node.
Inside Grid'5000, new DNS entries have been added. For example :
-
dahu-1-ipv6.grenoble.grid5000.frfor the IPv6 address on the main interface of dahu-1 -
chetemi-2-eth1-ipv6.lille.grid5000.frfor the IPv6 address on the secondary interface of chetemi-2
Please note that IPv6 connectivity to Internet is now available but we are still working on some improvements and additional features such as :
- IPv6 addresses for Kavlan. It is only for production network for the moment.
- A tool to open access to your nodes from Internet. Incoming traffic from Internet to nodes is currently filtered.

Refactoring of the users' portal
We refactored the users' portal page of the Grid'5000 website, in order to give a better structure to the set of tutorials and guides. Some titles were slightly modified as well as some content, but you should be able to find all the information you were using so far easily.
For new comers, we hope it will be easier to find out efficiently how to use the testbed and its many features.
Also note that we removed the list of pages automatically provided by the wiki engine at the bottom, as we think this was not so relevant. All pages, even the outdated ones, can however still be found in the wiki.

Grid'5000 General Conditions of Use now available
To clarify the legal frame and the application of law surrounding Grid'5000 usage, we added a "General Conditions of Use" document to the Usage Policy.
From now on, usage of Grid'5000 must be in accordance with those two documents:
- https://www.grid5000.fr/w/Grid5000:General_Conditions_of_Use
- https://www.grid5000.fr/w/Grid5000:UsagePolicy

New monitoring service for Grid'5000 available for beta testing
We are happy to announce a new service to provide environmental and performance metrics monitoring for Grid'5000 experiments.
The service uses the Kwollect framework and currently makes following metrics available:
- Energy consumption from dedicated “wattmetre” devices (currently available for some clusters in Lyon, Grenoble, Nancy) - Metrics collected from nodes’ Board Management Controller (out-of-band management hardware, such as Dell iDRAC), such as ambient temperature, hardware component temperature, energy consumption from PSU, fan speed, etc. - Traffic collected from network devices - Energy consumption from PDU, when available
It is also planned to add more metrics in the future.
The service documentation is available at:
https://www.grid5000.fr/w/Monitoring_Using_Kwollect
The service is currently in beta. Many things may change in the future. Feel free to give us your feedback at support-staff@lists.grid5000.fr
