[Planetlab-users] Slice Whitelisting

[Marc E. Fiuczynski]

Hello Cameron,

Site admins cannot block slices from their sites.

In this particular case Polish Telecom R&D has requested to set aside a 
number of their PlanetLab nodes for a specific technology trial.  Only a 
specific set of slices are permitted to run on those nodes.   You should 
not even be able to see those nodes via the webgui and API.  How are you 
learning that these nodes are even there?  slices.xml?

Best regards,
Marc
