2. Availability of Pegasus: |
|
============================ |
|
|
|
Pegasus is distributed as open source. The distribution is available via |
|
CVS and snapshot images in tar and zip file formats. |
|
|
|
The source code from CVS can be found at the following Open Group CVS server; |
|
|
|
cvs.opengroup.org:/cvs/MSB |
|
|
|
using the password authenticating server option (pserve). |

======================= |
|
| |
Pegasus is distributed as open source. Today the distribution is limited |
%export CVSROOT=:pserver:anon@cvs.opengroup.org:/cvs/MSB |
because we want to reach a predefined level of development before making the |

|
be a decision of the Pegasus development team and The Open Group and should |
|
occur before March 2001. |

Pegasus Dependencies |
|
==================== |
|
|
|
We have worked to minimize the dependence of Pegasus on other software |
|
packages and tools. Currently Pegasus has the following dependencies |
|
| |
1. ACE_Wrappers communication package - The ACE Wrappers package is used for |
Pegasus MOF Compiler - FA standalone compiler for MOF files that can be used |

SDK, and the Pegasus Provider SDK. ACE is available from the following site. |
There is also a tool to extract the MOF from the repository. |
| |
http://ace.cs.wustl.edu/cvsweb/ace-cvs.cgi/ACE_wrappers/ |
|
| |
Currently we are using version 5.1 of ACE_Wrappers both in Linux and Windows. |

|
7. Building Pegasus |
|
===================== |
| |
Building from a Distribution --- General |
1. Check that you have requisite programs (listed in Pegasus Dependencies). |
======================================== |
|
| |
Pegasus is buildable and runnable on either Linux or WIndows Platforms today. |
These include GNU Make, MU.EXE (if using Windows), Flex, and Bison (Flex |
It uses a common build system for the two platforms based on build files and |
and Bison only required if changes will be made to the MOF compiler or WQL |
GUNMAKE. |
parser). |
| |
Generally we support four targets in our make system: |
Be sure these are on your path. |
| |
| |
C:\> make clean |
2. Define the following three environment variables: |
C:\> make depend |
|
C:\> make |
|
C:\> make tests |
|
| |
The Pegasus Client server tests are executed separately from the above because |
PEGASUS_ROOT - this should be the "pegasus" directory you've pulled from CVS |
they require the initiation of separate process for the Pegasus server and |
|
Pegasus client. These tests can be executed as follows: |
|
| |
ATTN: Add the procedure for Client/Server Test start here. |
PEGASUS_HOME - to point to a directory to contain output binary files |
|
(e.g., set it to $HOME/pegasus_home). Then the output will go into |
|
$HOME/pegasus_home/bin and $HOME/pegasus_home/lib |
| |
|
PEGASUS_PLATFORM - this must be set to a supported platform identifier. |
| |
For information on particular installation characteristics, tools, etc. for |
This identifier has the following form: |
each platform see |
|
the appropriate sections below: |
|
| |
Generally the build commands are as follows: |
<Operating-System>_<Architecture>_<Compiler> |
| |
1. There is a Makefile in the Pegasus root. Simply executing make in the |
For example (Linux on IA32 platform using the GNU Compiler): |
Pegasus root directory will make everything. |

| |
2. In order to provide a working class repository for Pegasus until the |

PEGASUS_HOME to something like this: |
| |
3. To test a fresh release, go to the pegasus root and type |
$HOME/pegasus_home_LINUX_IX86_GNU |
| |
"make world". |
That way, the output of each build will be placed in its own directory. |
| |
|
3. Now place $PEGASUS_HOME/bin on your path |
| |
This will clean, build dependencies, build binaries, and then run all |
and |
tests except the Client/Server tests. |
|
|
Place $PEGASUS_HOME/lib on your LD_LIBRARY_PATH (for Unix only). |
|
For RedHat/SuSE/UL, edit /etc/ld.so.conf and add $PEGASUS_HOME/lib |
|
|
|
4. Change to the root of the Pegasus distrubution and type "make" |
|
(where make refers to GNU make). |
|
|
|
5. Then create the repository, which is needed to serve data. |
|
"make repository" |
| |
4. To execute the basic test suite that is shipped with pegasus type |
6. To test the build type "make tests". |
| |
"make tests" |
The following make targets are supported: |
| |
5. To run the Client/Server tests provided, simply type |
<default> - Build everything. |
|
clean - Clean out all objects, libs, and executables. |
|
depend - Create the dependencies. |
|
repository - Create the repository in $PEGASUS_HOME/repository |
|
tests - Execute all tests (except client server tests). |
|
rebuild - clean, depend, <default> |
|
world - depend, <default> |
|
|
|
The Pegasus Client server tests are executed separately from the above because |
|
they require the initiation of separate process for the Pegasus server and |
|
Pegasus client. To execute these tests please refer to the scripts in |
|
pegasus/mak/BuildMakefile - refer to the prestarttests and poststarttests. |
|
|
|
For information on particular installation characteristics, tools, etc. for |
|
each platform see the appropriate sections below: |
|
|
|
Generally the build commands are as follows: |
|
|
|
1. There is a Makefile in the Pegasus root directory. Simply executing |
|
make in the Pegasus root directory will make everything. "make rebuild" |
|
will clean and rebuild everything. The "make rebuild" will also populate |
|
the repository with the current CIM Schemas. |
|
|
|
2. To test a fresh release, go to the pegasus root and type |
|
|
|
"make world". |
|
|
|
|
|
This will build dependencies, build binaries, and then run all |
|
tests except the Client/Server tests. |
| |
"make tests" |
3. To execute the basic test suite that is shipped with pegasus type |
|
|
|
"make tests". This also reintalls the repository. |
| |
Running "make -s tests" suppresses extraneous output such as the | Running "make -s tests" suppresses extraneous output such as the |

| |
6. "Make Clean" removes all object and library files from the structure. |
4. "make clean" removes all object and library files from the structure. |

| |
PEGASUS_OS_TYPE - optional. The is currently set to windows. If you build |
1. Register the MOF (Managed Object Format) file describing the skeleton of the object. |
on Linux you must change this before initiating make. |
2. Register a second MOF which only points out which lib*.so file to be loaded when a |
|
specific object is activated. |
| |
PEGASUS_ROOT - Points to the root directory of the Pegasus tree. |
This is done automatically for the providers included in Pegasus by doing: |
|
make repository. |
| |
COMMENTS: In the future, we will probably automate this more. However, |
The 'make repository' in pegasus/Schemas does three things |
setting these variables today is manual. |

| |
Building Pegausu on Linux |
|
========================= |
|
|
|
1. Obtain, unpack and build the ACE_Wrappers package for Linux. |
|
|
|
2. Define an environment variable called ACE_ROOT that points to the root of |
|
the ACE_WRAPPERS distribution. For example |
|
| |
IMPORT PEGASUS_ACE_ROOT=\local\ACE_Wrappers |
10. Notes about Building Pegasus on Linux |
|
=========================================== |
| |
ATTN: Mike. what is a viable directory for Linux (what do you use) |
No problem. Just make sure you have the environment variables set. |
| |
3. Define an environment variable PEGASUS_ROOT that points to the |
|
root of the Pegasus Distribution |
|
| |
4. Append %PEGASUS_ROOT%/bin to your path |
11. Notes about Building Pegasus with SSL |
|
========================================== |
5. Unpack the ace distribution. |
|
| |
ATTN: Unpack with what since ZIP. |
To build with SSL you need the OpenSSL libraries and header files. Make sure |
|
you have them in a standard directory so Pegasus can find them. If that's not |
|
the case, set the environment varialble OPENSSL_HOME= to point where your OpenSSL |
|
installation is. |
| |
5. Build using the make commands defined in the section on General Build. |
Also have the PEGASUS_HAS_SSL=yes variable set. Then just run 'make' in Pegasus |
|
directory and you will have Pegasus with SSL enabled. See section "Creating SSL |
|
certificates" for more information of how to use SSL. |

C++. (contained in the same directory as cl.exe). |
|
|
|
2. Define an environment variable called ACE_ROOT that points to the |
|
root of the ACE_Wrappers distribution. For example: |
|
|
|
C:\> set PEGASUS_ACE_ROOT=c:/ACE_wrappers |
|
|
|
Now append %ACE_ROOT%/bin to the path like this: |
|
|
|
C:\> set path=%path%;%PEGASUS_ACE_ROOT%/bin |
|
|
|
3. Define an environment variable called PEGASUS_ROOT that points to |
|
the root of the Pegasus distribution. For example: |
|
|
|
C:\> set PEGASUS_ROOT=c:/pegasus |
|
|
|
Now append %PEGASUS_ROOT%/bin to your path like this: |
|
|
|
set path=%path%;%PEGASUS_ROOT%/bin |
|
|
|
4. Unpack and build the ACE_Wrappers distribution for windows. |
|
|
|
As an example, we created a file called %ACE_ROOT%/ace/config.h |
|
containing the following: |
|
|
|
#include "ace/config-win32.h" |
|
|
|
and then opened this DSW file in MSVC++ IDE: |
|
|
|
%ACE_ROOT%/ace/ace.dsw |
|
|
|
From the build menu we picked "ace.dll". For me it built without complaint. |
|
|
|
The ACE package can be built in several configurations: |
|
|
|
ace.dll - The basic package without debugging |
|
aced.dll - debugging added to the basic package |
|
acemfc.dll - ACE with Microsoft MFC support |
|
acemfcd.dll - The ACE MFC version with debugging. |
|
|
|
ace.dll is used for the server build acemfc is used for the client builds. |
|
|
|
NOTE: In the near future we will be building debugging options into Pegasus |
|
and at that time the aced and acemfcd libraries will also be required. |
|
|
|
Each library can be built separately from Microsoft Visual C++. |
|
| |
5. Unpack the Pegasus distribution. On Windows systems, PKzip25 or WINZIP can |
For Windows, try the following for an example environment: |
be used. Be certain to use the option that expands the directory tree of the |
|
files. This expansion will create a directory called ./pegasus |
|
| |
If you are using pkzip25.exe do this: |
REM call the standard Microsoft .bat for VC 6 setup. |
C:\> pkzip25 -extract -recurse -directories pegasus.zip |
call 'C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/VC98/Bin/Vcvars32.bat' |
|
REM Set debug to something if you want compile in debug mode |
|
set PEGASUS_DEBUG=true |
|
REM set PEGASUS_ROOT to top of source tree |
|
set PEGASUS_ROOT=C:/cimom/pegasus |
|
REM set PEGASUS_HOME to where you want repository and executables |
|
set PEGASUS_HOME=%PEGASUS_ROOT% |
|
REM setup the path to the runtime files. |
|
set path=%path%;%PEGASUS_HOME%/bin |
| |
This will create a directory tree called ./pegasus under the |
13. Installing the Pegasus HTML Test Client: |
current directory. |
============================================= |
|
|
ATTN: Define for Linux also |
|
|
|
6. Change directory to %PEGASUS_ROOT% and type "make world". See the general |
|
build section for the full set of make commands. |
|
|
|
This builds Pegasus and all of its examples. |

15. Commands: |
|
============= |
|
|
|
The manpages for each of the commands are in rpm/manLinux/man1.Z directory (on CVS) |
| |
|
To see simple help for each of the commands, use the "-h" flag. |
|
Examples: |
|
bin/cimserver –s (Shuts it down) |
|
bin/cimserver traceLevel=4 traceComponents=ALL (starts server with config flags) |
|
bin/cimprovider –l –s (lists providers and their status) |
|
bin/cimprovider –e –m OperatingSystemModule (enables the OperatingSystem provider) |
|
bin/cimuser –a –u guest –w ThePassword |
|
bin/cimuser –l (lists the users) |
|
bin/tomof CIM_Config (extract CIM_Config from repository and present it in MOF type) |
|
|
|
|
|
16. Creating SSL certifications |
|
================================ |
|
|
|
Type these commands in your shell to create the SSL certifications. The PEGASUS_ROOT |
|
and PEGASUS_HOME have to be set to your respective installation and source directory. |
|
|
|
CN="Common Name" |
|
EMAIL="test@email.address" |
|
HOSTNAME=`uname -n` |
|
sed -e "s/$CN/$HOSTNAME/" \ |
|
-e "s/$EMAIL/root@$HOSTNAME/" $PEGASUS_ROOT/ssl.cnf \ |
|
> $PEGASUS_HOME/ssl.cnf |
|
chmod 644 $PEGASUS_HOME/ssl.cnf |
|
chown bin $PEGASUS_HOME/ssl.cnf |
|
chgrp bin $PEGASUS_HOME/ssl.cnf |
|
|
|
/usr/bin/openssl req -x509 -days 365 -newkey rsa:512 \ |
|
-nodes -config $PEGASUS_HOME/ssl.cnf \ |
|
-keyout $PEGASUS_HOME/key.pem -out $PEGASUS_HOME/cert.pem |
|
|
|
cat $PEGASUS_HOME/key.pem $PEGASUS_HOME/cert.pem > $PEGASUS_HOME/server.pem |
|
rm $PEGASUS_HOME/key.pem $PEGASUS_HOME/cert.pem |
|
cp $PEGASUS_HOME/cert.pem $PEGASUS_HOME/client.pem |
|
|
|
17. Testing with ICU enabled: |
|
============================== |
|
|
|
ICU (International Compoments for Unicode) refers to the set of libraries that |
|
Pegasus uses to run globalized. For example: these libraries are used to |
|
load messages in different languages, format currency and numbers according to |
|
a specific locale etc. In order to enable globalization in Pegasus, Pegasus |
|
must be built with ICU enabled, ie. the right environment variables must be |
|
set prior to running "make". Refer to the GlobalizationHOWTO.htm in the docs |
|
directory for details. That said, when users run "make poststarttests" |
|
to verify the integrity of a Pegasus download, a series of tests are run that |
|
require the cimserver to be running. These tests currently depend on specific |
|
messages returned from the server. When ICU is enabled, all messages come |
|
from the resource bundles and these usually do not match the hardcoded |
|
default messages within Pegasus. These hardcoded default messages |
|
are what the various test programs expect in order to complete |
|
successfully. If the ICU enabled server is started without |
|
disabling message loading from the bundles, "make poststartests" will fail. |
|
In order to run "make poststarttests" successfully with ICU enabled, an |
|
environment variable called PEGASUS_USE_DEFAULT_MESSAGES must exist prior to |
|
starting the server. Once this is defined, when the cimserver starts, all |
|
messages generated will be the default hardcoded messages. This will enable |
|
"make poststarttests" to complete successfully. Once "make poststarttests" is |
|
complete, you should stop the cimserver and then undefine PEGASUS_USE_DEFAULT_MESSAGES. |
|
If this variable is left defined, Pegasus will not be able to load messages |
|
using ICU resource bundles. |
