Web interface

In order to submit from the web interface, you should first login and then go to Scheduler > Submit.

In the submit page, copy and paste the job definition and click on Validate.

The server will validate the job definition and return any errors or warning found.

If the job is valid, the Submit button will become active. Clicking on it will actually submit the job.

lavacli

In order to submit using lavacli, start by installing and configure lavacli with the lavacli tutorial.

Submit the job with:

lavacli -i <identity> jobs submit qemu.yaml

lavacli will submit and print the job identifier that you can use to inspect the current job.

lavacli -i <identity> jobs show <id>
lavacli -i <identity> jobs logs <id>
lavacli -i <identity> jobs wait <id>
