+## CDN on VTN - headnode
+
+1. nova flavor-create --is-public true m1.cdnnode auto 8192 110 4
+2. in XOS create flavor m1.cdnnode and add to deployment
+
+## CDN on VTN - CMI
+
+1. Make sure plenty of glance space on ctl node
+2. Make sure plenty of instance space on compute nodes
+3. Install cmi-0.3.img into XOS images/ directory
+4. Install CentOS-6-cdnnode-0.3.img into XOS images/ directory
+5. Wait for these two images to be loaded into glance (check glance image-list for status)
+6. XOS UI: Add cmi and CentOS images to MyDeployment
+7. Run recipe xos/configurations/cord-pod/pod-cdn.yaml
+ * this will create mysite_cdn slice, cdn-public network, and add management and cdn-public networks to slice
+8. Instantiate CMI instance in mysite_cdn
+ * flavor: m1.large
+ * image: cmi-0.3.img
+9. edit configurations/cord-pod/cdn/cmi-settings.sh
+ * update COMPUTE_NODE and MGMT_IP to match CMI instance
+ * update NODE_KEY to match ssh key for root @ the compute node
+ * do not change VM_KEY; the pubkey is baked into the instance
+10. edit configurations/cord-pod/cdn/cmi.yaml
+ * update gateway_ip and gateway_mac to reflect public internet gateway CMI will use
+11. copy the keygen and allkeys.template to the private/ directory
+12. copy cmi_id_rsa
+13. run setup-cmi.sh
+ * this will SSH into the CMI and run setup, then modify some settings.
+ * it may take a long time, 10-20 minutes or more
+ * takeover script will be saved to takeovers/. Takeover script will be used in the next phase.
+
+## CDN on VTN - cdnnode
+
+1. Instantiate cdnnode instance in mysite_cdn
+ * flavor: m1.cdnnode
+ * CenOS-6-cdnnode-0.3.img
+2. Log into compute node and Attach disk
+ * virsh attach-disk <instance_name> /dev/sdc vdc --cache none
+ * (make sure this disk wasn't used anywhere else!)
+3. log into cdnnode VM
+ * make sure default gateway is good (check public connectivity)
+ * make sure arp table is good
+ * make sure CMI is reachable from cdnnode
+ * run takeover script that was created by the CMI
+ * (I suggest commenting out the final reboot -f, and make sure the rest of it worked right before rebooting)
+ * Node will take a long time to install
+4. log into cdnnode
+ * to SSH into cdnnode, go into CMI, vserver coplc, cd /etc/planetlab, and use debug_ssh_key.rsa w/ root user
+ * check default gateway
+ * fix arp entry for default gateway
+
+## CDN on VTN - cmi part 2
+
+1. run setup-logicalinterfaces.sh
