<div style="margin-left: 40px;"><b>OpenPegasus </b>(also
referred to
as <b>Pegasus</b>) is an open-source CIM Server for DMTF
CIM objects.
It is
written
in C++ and includes the Object manager (CIMOM), a set of defined
interfaces, an implementation of the CIM Operations over HTTP
operations
and their cimxml HTTP encodings, and Interface libraries
for both clients and providers. It is maintained
to be compliant with
the DMTF CIM and WBEM specifications with
exceptions
noted in the documentation.<br>
<br>
<span class="norm"></span>OpenPegasus includes
components for: <br>

<h2><a name="peg_sup_plat">Supported Platforms</a></h2>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">OpenPegasus is regularly
tested against a
variety of platforms by the
development group. The results of the nightly tests can be
found
here on our <a
href="http://cvs.opengroup.org/cgi-bin/pegasus-build-status.cgi">Nightly
Build and Test Status</a> page. The Release Notes for each
release
(pegasus/ReleaseNotes.htm) provide additional details
regarding the platforms, compilers, etc. for the current release.<br>
</p>
<h2><a name="peg_dep">Dependencies</a></h2>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">
We have worked to minimize the dependence of OpenPegasus on other
software
packages and tools. Currently OpenPegasus has the following
dependencies. Note that all of the dependencis listed below are
required only if selected options are enabled except for GNUMAKE which
is the required make tool:
</p>
<ol style="margin-left: 40px;">
<li><b>GNUMAKE</b> - To simplify the building of
OpenPegasus across
multiple platforms we
have standardized on a set of build tools including: GNUMAKE. We are
using GNUMAKE 3.79.1 successfully both in Windows and Linux
environments. It is available from <a href="http://www.gnu.org">http://www.gnu.org</a>.
The windows version of GNUMAKE is available on the Pegasus
web site <a
href="http://www.openpegasus.org/pb/protected/index.tpl?CALLER=index.tpl">
tools page</a>.</li>
<li><b>FLEX</b> and <b>BISON</b> -
These tools were used to develop the MOF
compiler and WQL and CQL parsers. These tools are required <b>ONLY</b>
for
development of the parsers, not for building OpenPegasus.
Bison
version 2.3 or later and flex version 2.5.4 or later are required.</li>
<li><b>Doxygen </b>- The OpenPegasus documentation
is taken from a combination of text files and header files themselves.
This documentation is formatted with Doxygen and GAWK. This
is required <b>ONLY</b> if you want to build documentation
from the source tree. <span class="norm"></span><font
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">These tools are required to
build the
interface documentation set.</font> </li>
<li><b>ICU Internationalization libraries</b> -
These libraries are
used as the basis for message catalogs for message
internationalization. See the ICU website
(<a href="http://icu.sourceforge.net/">http://icu.sourceforge.net</a>)
for more information on these
libraries.<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> These
libraries are used ONLY if you set the requisite environment variable (
PEGASUS_HAS_ICU) to use ICU</span><br>
</li>
<li><b>OpenSSL
</b>- If it
is intended to use SSL on the
communication protocol, the OpenSSL libraries are required (<a
href="http://www.openssl.org">http://www.openssl.org</a>).</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">OpenSLP</span>
- If you choose
to use
OpenSLP as your choice of SLP implementations, then it will need to be
installed and available to OpenPegasus. Refer to the
PEGASUS_USE_OPENSLP and PEGASUS_OPENSLP_HOME build variables in the
doc/BuildAndReleaseOptions.html file, and the OpenSLP web site (<a
href="http://www.openslp.org">http://www.openslp.org</a>).</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">zlib
</span>- If you choose to
enable the compressed repository feature with the
PEGASUS_ENABLE_COMPRESSED_REPOSITORY build variable, you will need to
install the gzip (GNU zip) compression utility. Refer to
readme.compressed_repository in OpenPegasus source tree, and the gzip
web site (<a style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"
href="http://www.gzip.org">http://www.gzip.org</a>).</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">sqlite</span>
- If you choose to enable the use of sqlite for the repository, refer
to the doc/BuildAndReleaseOptions.html file for the defintion of the
build variables and the sqlite implementation which may be obtained
either as part of a standard distribution or from <a
href="http://www.sqlite.org">http://www.sqlite.org</a>.</li>
</ol>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE</span>:
A set of the required
tools for building on the Windows platform is available on the
OpenPegasus <a

<blockquote>
<ol style="margin-left: 40px;">
<li>Refer to the admin guide in
pegasus/doc/Admin_Guide_Release.pdf
for
more information about administering the OpenPegasus CIM Server.</li>
<li>There are differences between Windows and other
platforms in
starting the CIMserver as a daemon/service. Whereas most supported
platforms use
the OpenPegasus <span style="font-weight: bold;">daemon</span>
configuration option to start the CIM Server as a daemon, on
Windows it
must be specifically installed as a service (ex. cimserver -install)
and then
started as a service (cimserver -start). The cimserver --help option
explains the
exact format of the start and stop options.</li>
<li>The cimuser command is used to manage OpenPegasus users
only when
the CIM Server is compiled without the PEGASUS_PAM_AUTHENTICATION
environment variable defined. See <a
href="http://www.openpegasus.org/pp/uploads/40/16781/PEP308_RecommendedReleaseOptions.htm">
PEP 308</a> for more information on these configuration options.<br>

<strong></strong>
<h2><a name="set_envt_var"><strong>Set the
Environment
Variables</strong></a></h2>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">Before building, installing,
or running
OpenPegasus, some environment variables may
have to be defined or updated. See PEP 292 for the full list
of
environment variables and configuration options for OpenPegasus. The
minimum set is:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<ul>
<li>PEGASUS_ROOT -- The directory
containing the OpenPegasus root directory from CVS.</li>
<li>PEGASUS_HOME -- The directory
that will contain all output from building and running OpenPegasus, it
can be the same as PEGASUS_ROOT if desired.</li>
<li>PEGASUS_PLATFORM -- The
platform on which OpenPegasus is being built.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">There are a significant number of
environment variables that control the compile and test of features in
the OpenPegasus package in addition to the 3 variables described above.
These variables are documented in the Pegasus documentation in CVS (see
the pegasus/doc directory).</div>
<h2><a name="bld_peg"></a>Build the Executables<br>
</h2>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">OpenPegasus
is compiled and linked using a make structure that recurses through
the OpenPegasus source tree.<br>
<font><font color="RED"><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"><br>
Makefile commands
</span></font></font><br>
<br>
OpenPegasus
includes several Makefiles that enable
you to quickly build or
refresh files for the server, clients, providers, test cases, and
repository. To use these Makefiles, type "make" followed by one of the
supplied targets. <br>
<br>
For more information on the
available make targets, enter "make usage" from the PEGASUS_ROOT
directory. A recommended minimum set
to know are:
<br>
<ul>
<li>usage -- Explains the
available make targets in some detail.</li>
<li>new -- Clean out all
objects, libs, executables, and the repository.</li>
<li>build -- Builds
dependencies, compiles, links, and installs the server. After this
OpenPegasus is ready to run.</li>
<li>alltests - Builds the
repository entries and other resources required by the tests, and then
executes all automated tests.</li>
<li>world - Builds the complete environment and runs the test suite.</li>
</ul>
For a comprehensive
list of the
make targets, refer to <big><span
style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">pegasus/Makefile</span></big>
at the top of the OpenPegasus source directory.<br>
</div>
<ul>
</ul>
<h2><a name="pop_peg_rep">Populate the Repository</a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">
Before using OpenPegasus you must populate the repository. Typically,
this
is done during the build process by the 'make repository' target.
However,
you
can also compile MOF (Managed Object Format) code manually with the
cimmof compiler.<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">The 'make repository' target
in the makefile <big><span
style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">pegasus/Makefile</span></big>
performs several functions including:
</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Removes
the existing
repository (if one exists).</span><br>
</li>
<li>Generates the default
CIM Schema (defined in pegasus/mak/config.mak)
in the repository (skeleton of CIM
objects). Refer to PEGASUS_CIM_SCHEMA environment
variable in Pegasus PEP 308 to
set alternate schema versions.<br>
</li>
<li>Loads
schema for CIM Server functions (shutdown, add users, etc) and
CIM indications
(SNMP, Events, Alert, Threshold, etc)
internal to Pegasus. </li>
<li>Registers included CIM Providers (libOSProvider.so,
libDNSProvider.so, … ) in OpenPegasus (which are located in
src/Providers) <br>
</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="reg_prov">Register
Providers</a></h2>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">OpenPegasus registers
Providers using a
set of provider registration classes
encoded in MOF. This classes are proprietary to OpenPegasus
today. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">Registration
is performed by creating instances of the
registration classes that represent the provider module, providers,
capabilities, etc. to be
registered. The easiest way to create a new
registration today is to copy from one of the existing registration
MOFs. See the <big><span
style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">pegasus/src/Providers/sample/Load</span></big>
directory for examples of
several registration instance implementations that do work with
OpenPegasus
today.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">Registration may be performed by creating
compiling the registration mof with either the on-line or off-line
Pegasus mof compiler. It is recommended that providers be
registered with the on-line compiler because this allows pegasus to
validate the registration information.</p>
<h2><a name="note_bld_peg_lnx">Notes about
Building on Linux </a></h2>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">
To build OpenPegasus on Linux, ensure that you you have the necessary
environment
variables set (eg. PEGASUS_HOME, PEGASUS_ROOT,
PEGASUS_PLATFORM).
For
32 bit Linux, the definition of PEGASUS_PLATFORM is normally
LINUX_IX86_GNU. For 64 bit IX86 Linux the
definition
of
PEGASUS_PLATFORM is normally LINUX_IX86_64_GNU. Use the g++
compiler to compile and link the executables. All of the supported
platform
definitions are defined in <big><span
style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">pegasus/mak</span></big>
as make files with the
definition:</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;"> <span
style="font-family: monospace;">
platform_<operatingSystem>_<architecture>_<compiler></span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">The
<operatingSystem>_<architecture>_<compiler>
component is what forms the PEGASUS_PLATFORM environment variable so
that the
appropriate platform make file can be found during the build process.<br>
</p>
<h2><a name="bld_peg_win">Notes
about Building on Windows </a></h2>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">
Use of Windows 2000 SP3 or later is recommended. OpenPegasus
is
regularly tested on mulitple windows platforms.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">We build OpenPegasus
on Windows
using a set of Makefiles
contained
in the source distribution, the Microsoft compilers (DevStudio 5.x is
not supported, Visual Studio 6.0 (SP5) or later is supported) and the
GNUMAKE
make utility. Note that you MUST have the OpenPegasus <a
href="#mu_utility">mu.exe </a>utility compiled and
available
before trying to compile OpenPegasus on the normal windows platform
(This utility allows use of unix command line semantics for certain
operations in windows).
The
following is the basic setup steps for the environment.
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">Setup the environment
variables and path
for the Micrososft Visual C
compiler.
Typically this can be done by running the VCVARS32.BAT file supplied
with Microsoft Visual C++. (contained in the same directory as cl.exe).
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">For Windows, try the
following for an
example environment: </p>
<blockquote>
<pre style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-family: monospace;">REM call the standard Microsoft .bat for VC 6 setup. </span><br
style="font-family: monospace;"><span style="font-family: monospace;">call 'C:/Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin\Vcvars32.bat' </span><br
style="font-family: monospace;"><span style="font-family: monospace;">REM Set debug to something if you want to compile in debug mode </span><br
style="font-family: monospace;"><span style="font-family: monospace;">set PEGASUS_DEBUG=true </span><br
style="font-family: monospace;"><span style="font-family: monospace;">REM set PEGASUS_ROOT to top of source tree </span><br
style="font-family: monospace;"><span style="font-family: monospace;">set PEGASUS_ROOT=C:/cimom/pegasus </span><br
style="font-family: monospace;"><span style="font-family: monospace;">REM (Note: </span><span
style="font-family: monospace;" class="norm">The '/' characters are intentional and required by the OpenPegasus build system). <br>REM Also the disk designator (C:) is required for at least some newer versions of the Microsoft<br>REM compilers to avoid confusion between options and paths<br></span><span
style="font-family: monospace;">REM set PEGASUS_HOME to where you want repository and executables, it can be the same as PEGASUS_ROOT</span><br
style="font-family: monospace;"><span style="font-family: monospace;">set PEGASUS_HOME=%PEGASUS_ROOT% </span><br
style="font-family: monospace;"><span style="font-family: monospace;">REM set PEGASUS_PLATFORM for Windows</span><br
style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: monospace;"><span
style="font-family: monospace;">set PEGASUS_PLATFORM=WIN32_IX86_MSVC</span><br
style="font-family: monospace;"><span style="font-family: monospace;">REM setup the path to the runtime files. </span><br

<h3>
<a name="mu_utility">The MU Utility </a></h3>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">
In order to provide a consistent build structure across multiple
platforms, we
developed a utility to provide a consistent set of functions across
these platforms. The MU utility is a simple utility that
contains
many
commands. For example:
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;"><font face="Courier New">
</font><span style="font-family: monospace;">C:\>
mu rm myfile.cpp yourfile.cpp</span> </p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">You may type "mu" to get a
list of valid
commands. Here are some
of them:
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">
rm, rmdirhier, mkdirhier, echo, touch, pwd, copy, move, compare depend
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">The MU utility supports
globing
(expansion of wildcards) so
you can do things like this:
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;"><font face="Courier New"> </font><span
style="font-family: monospace;">
C:\> mu rm *.obj *.exe</span> </p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">MU is required to build
under the Windows
environment. MU is
available as part
of the distribution of OpenPegasus.<br>
</p>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE:</span>
The binary for
MU.EXE is not
distributed in the OpenPegasus bin
directory.
You must build it separately. MU source code is part of the
distribution
in the directory src/utils/MU with its own make file. You must compile
MU
before you initiate the OpenPegasus make. A copy of the binary is made
available as a zip file on the OpenPegasus <a
href="http://www.openpegasus.org/pb/index.tpl?CALLER=index.tpl">Tools</a>
web page.<br>
</div>
<h2><a name="note_bld_peg_ssl">Notes about
Building with SSL
</a></h2>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">
To build with SSL you need the OpenSSL libraries and header files. They
are NOT distributed with OpenPegasus. Make sure you have them in a
standard
directory so OpenPegasus can find them. If that's not
the case, set the environment variable OPENSSL_HOME= to point where
your OpenSSL
installation is (refer to PEP 292
for more details on build variables).<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">You
must also have the PEGASUS_HAS_SSL environment variable defined. Then
when you
build
OpenPegasus, it
will include the SSL support.
</p>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">Refer to the OpenPegasus
SSL Guide
(found in doc/PegasusSSLGuidelines.htm)
for details on
using OpenPegasus with SSL,
creating SSL certificates, etc.<br>
</div>
<h1>
<a name="test">Testing an OpenPegasus Installation</a></h1>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">
OpenPegasus includes an extensive set of test facilities as part of the
CVS
environment, including:
</p>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
<ul>
<li><b>Test Clients</b> - There are several
clients that have been
built specifically to test OpenPegasus, or parts of OpenPegasus,
including
TestClient, Client, cimcli, ipinfo,
osinfo, wbemexec,
etc. See the
src/Clients directory for more information. These programs require a
running CIM Server with a
complete repository. Note that some of
these tests use classes and instances that are only installed with the
"make testrepository" target including: test namespaces, extra
classes and instances in those namespaces, and additional sample and
test providers.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
<ul>
<li><b>Sample and Test Providers</b> -
Test providers exist
for
the major provider types in the src/Providers/sample
and src/Providers/TestProviders directories.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<ul>
<ul>
</ul>
</ul>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
<ul>
<li><b>Unit Tests</b> - Most OpenPegasus
functions include unit
tests
for
the functions. These are normally executed with the "make
unittests"
top-level target, or "make tests"
which can be executed at many different levels of the source
tree. Usually the unit test functions can be found
in test
directories immediately below their corresponding source code
(i.e Common/tests contains the unit test
functions for the Common
directory). Unit tests are executed with the CIM Server shutdown and
normally do not require the existence of class definitions in the
repository.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<ul style="margin-left: 40px;">
<li><b>End-to-end Test Suite</b> - the directory
"test" contains
a
set of operation
tests that cover the major CIM Operations. See
TestMakefile in the PEGASUS_ROOT directory to execute
these tests. This set of tests executes an extensive set of
fixed
tests and compares the results against predefined results.</li>
</ul>
<p>
Once OpenPegasus is
successfully built, the tests can be executed through the
root Makefile
with targets such as:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>make unittests </b>- Execute the unit
tests. These do not depend on having a running server or repository
installed. They test components of the OpenPegasus code.
These tests run to completion if successful but normally stop on the
first error found by a test program.</li>
<ul>
</ul>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li><b>make servertests</b> - Executes the
OpenPegasus end-to-end test suite against a running OpenPegasus server
starting and stopping the server as required to modify configuration
parameters. The repository must be installed for these tests to execute
and they are tested against the default repository as part of regular
OpenPegasus development and release testing. These tests will run to
successful completion if there are not errors detected but will
normally stop on the first error. There is a subset of these
tests that can be run in an environment that does not have root
privileges but root privileges are required to run the complete suite.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<ul>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-left: 40px;">
<li><b>make alltests</b> - execute both the
unit and end-to-end tests.</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="test_icu">Testing with ICU enabled</a></h2>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">ICU (International
Components for
Unicode) refers to the set of
libraries that OpenPegasus uses to run with globalization support. 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, OpenPegasus
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
pegasus/docs
directory for details.<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">When users run "make
servertests"
to verify the integrity of an OpenPegasus download, a series of tests
are
run that
require the CIM Server to be running. These tests currently depend on
specific
messages returned from the CIM Server. When ICU is enabled, all
messages
come from the resource bundles and these usually do not match the
hardcoded default messages within OpenPegasus. These hardcoded default
messages are what the various test programs expect in order to complete
successfully. If the ICU-enabled CIM Server is started without
disabling message loading from the bundles, "make servertests"
will
fail.
In order to run "make servertests"
successfully with ICU enabled, an
environment variable called PEGASUS_USE_DEFAULT_MESSAGES must be
defined
prior to
starting OpenPegasus. Once
this is defined, when OpenPegasus starts,
all
messages generated will be the default hardcoded messages. This will
enable
"make servertests"
to complete successfully. Once "make
servertests"
is
complete, you should stop OpenPegasus and
then undefine
PEGASUS_USE_DEFAULT_MESSAGES. If this variable is left defined,
OpenPegasus
will not be able to load messages
using ICU resource bundles.<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">When
running the "make unittests"
command with ICU enabled, the PEGASUS_MSG_HOME
environment variable must be set to the home directory where the ICU
resource bundles are built. By default the resource bundles are built
into directories below PEGASUS_HOME/msg, so that should be the setting
for PEGASUS_MSG_HOME.<font style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br>
