|
New for the Pegasus 2.5 release is a Feature Maturity Dashboard. |
|
This document shows the Pegasus users and developers the maturity of |
|
the various features found in Pegasus using a simple color coded |
|
key. That document can be found here: <a |
|
href="http://www.openpegasus.org/page.tpl?ggid=799">Feature |
|
Maturity Link</a><br> |
|
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><br> |
|
</span>The overall level of functionality in the Pegasus environment |
|
effective with |
|
this release is as follows: |
|
<h3><b>CIM Server Functionality</b></h3> |
|
<p>The following paragraphs list the functions in this release. |
|
All functions are considered community tested and operational unless |
|
specifically noted below. Features that are marked alpha or beta are |
|
not generally of the quality or completeness for production |
|
usage. Interfaces that are part of the Pegasus public |
|
interface definitions but that the Pegasus team feels may change are |
|
marked experimental. In many cases these features and interfaces |
|
are conditionally compiled with special environment variables. <a |
|

style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><span |
|
style="text-decoration: underline;">PEP 200</span> </span></span></a> |
|
provides more detailed information on how to enable |
|
functionality that is conditionally compiled in this release.</p> |
|
<blockquote> |
|
<h4><b>CIM Operations over HTTP support</b></h4> |
|
<ol> |
|
<li>Class Operations (<span class="SpellE">getClass</span>, <span |
|
class="SpellE">deleteClass</span>, <span class="SpellE">modifyClass</span>, |
|
<span class="SpellE">enumerateClass</span>, <span class="SpellE">enumerateClassNames</span>)</li> |

|
<li>Methods Operations (invokeMethod)</li> |
|
<li>Query operation - Support for ExecQuery was added in 2.4 with |
|
WQL as query language and is defined in PEP 119. This feature is |
|
considered at alpha quality because it has only been contributor |
|
tested. Additional tests have been added in 2.5 for ExecQuery.<br> |
|
</li> |
|
</ol> |

<blockquote> |
|
<h4><b>Indications</b></h4> |
|
<ul> |
|
<li>Process indications - Process indications are operational in |
|
the |
|
Server. This includes support |
|
for subscriptions, filters, and indication handlers, the provider API |
|
for |
|
indications and the CIMXML indication handler.</li> |
|
<li>Lifecycle indications - With the support for embedded objects, |
|
lifecycle indications (ie. those |
|
classes of indications derived from CIM_ClassIndication and |
|
CIM_InstIndication) can now be created. Pegasus 2.5 provides some |
|
enablement for the generation of lifecycle indications. For more |
|
details, refer to |
|
<src/Unsupported/LifecycleIndicationProvider/readme.LifecycleIndications.htm>.</li> |
|
</ul> |
|
<h4><b>Indication Listener</b></h4> |
|
<p class="MsoNormal">The generic components for a CIM Listener and a |
|
listener API are operational. This includes the functions for |
|
HTTP, XML indication input and response, and consumers of indications. |
|
This code can be used to define a separate listener package and is used |
|
as an indication listener in the Pegasus server. <br> |
|
</p> |
|
<p class="MsoNormal"><br> |
|
<font style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" color="#330099">Pegasus 2.5 |
|
includes a new standalone listener that is separate |
|
from the current standalone CIMListener and the ExportServer listener |
|
in the CIM server. |
|
The use model that this listener fits is the following: |
|
<ul> |
|
<li><span class="norm"></span> The listener may be packaged as |
|
part of the CIMOM or it may be packaged independently as part of |
|
another application. </li> |
|
<li><span class="norm"></span> Consumers |
|
are developed independently of the listener and may be shipped with the |
|
listener or added to an installed listener at a future time. </li> |

style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">This |
|
new "Dynamic Listener" provides a solution for the above use model. It |
|
is essentially a lightweight, pluggable listener that |
|
provides a small set of management features. The DynamicListener can be |
|
run inside a daemon or a service. It is easily configurable and |
|
bypasses traditional registration procedures. See <a |

details.</span> </font></p> |
|
<h4>Object Normalization</h4> |
|
The Object Normalizer is an entity introduced in Pegasus 2.4 that |
|
ensures |
|
objects delivered from providers are complete and accurate. Two major |
|
issues were identified with the initial implementation: 1) the Object |
|
Normalizer drops instances it considers bad, and 2) the Object |
|
Normalizer code slows performance. These issues are now addressed by |
|
moving the Object Normalizer from the Dispatcher to the Response |
|
Handler (or equivalent) and optimizing the existing implementation. The |
|
move allows errors to be reported to the provider at the point of |
|
delivery and ensures that only a single copy is made to preserve the |
|
CIMOM/provider boundary.<br> |
|
Two new configuration properties were added to control object |
|
normalization.<br> |
|
<ol> |
|
<li>enableNormalization (true|false) - Enables or disables object |
|
normalization for provider objects.</li> |
|
<li>excludeModulesFromNormalization (colon delimited list of |
|
provider modules) - List the provider modules by name (as specified in |
|
PG_ProviderModule.Name) to exclude from normalization. Keep in mind |
|
that all objects managed by all providers will be excluded from |
|
normalization if its module name appears in this list.<br> |
|
</li> |
|
</ol> |
|
<br> |
|
<h4>Embedded Object support</h4> |
|
Pegasus 2.5 now provides embedded object support. The proposed solution |
|
is restricted to the following:<br> |
|
The only representation for embedded objects supported by this |
|
PEP is CIM-XML. <br> |
|
CIMObject is implemented as a new CIMValue type. This type will be used |
|
internally to represent embedded objects. When externalized (via |
|
CIM-XML) these objects will be converted to strings representing valid |
|
INSTANCE or CLASS elements, in accordance with the CIM Infrastructure |
|
Specification. Embedded instances will also carry the |
|
EmbeddedObject attribute with |
|
the value "object", as specified by CR Interop-00217.001. <br> |

<h4><b>SLP Discovery</b></h4> |
|
<p>SLP support is included but is conditionally compiled in or out on |
|
a platform basis. <a |
|
href="http://www.openpegasus.org/pp/uploads/40/8502/PEP200_RecommendedReleaseOptions.htm"> |
|
PEP 200</a> describes the use of proper environment variable use to |
|
enable or disable this code. PEGASUS_DISABLE_SLP and |
|
PEGASUS_ENABLE_SLP are the environment variables that control inclusion |
|
of this feature. Once compiled, SLP |
|
support is enabled with the slp configuration parameter (slp=true). SLP |
|
support includes an SLP service agent in the Pegasus CIM sever and |
|
generates SLP advertisements compatible with the DMTF slp template |
|
specification. The SLP support also includes extensions to the |
|
CIM Client libraries to execute SLP User Agent requests and analyze the |
|
results (note that these interfaces are not yet part of the Pegasus |
|
public SDK).<br> |
|
Note: Pegasus on Windows is built with SLP support on by default and to |
|
exclude it from the build, then PEGASUS_DISABLE_SLP must be set.<br> |
|
</p> |
|
<h4>Provider Managers</h4> |
|
<p>Pegasus is designed to support multiple Provider Managers to allow |
|
multiple provider interfaces to the CIMOM. The two default |
|
provider managers are the Pegasus C++ Interface and Common |
|
Manageability Programming Interface (CMPI) Interface.<br> |
|
</p> |
|
<blockquote> |
|
<h5><b style="">CMPI C interface Provider Manager<o:p></o:p></b></h5> |
|
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">Pegasus 2.5 includes |
|
a provider manager for the CMPI C interfaces. This C interface is the |
|
result of a project by the IBM SBLIM team (see |
|
http://sblim.sourceforge.net) and is written to the Common |
|
Manageability Programming Interface, which is an OpenGroup standard. |
|
The CMPI |
|
specification is available at: |
|
http://www.opengroup.org/bookstore/catalog/c051.htm. This provides a |
|
standardized C level interface for creating providers that can be |
|
registered with the Pegasus CIM Server in the same manner as the |
|
current C++ providers. </span><span |
|
style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span class="norm"></span></span>The |
|
ability for CMPI providers to do user authorization is now available in |
|
Pegasus 2.5.<br> |

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"> <br> |
|
Information on writing providers with the CMPI interface is available |
|
in the specification today (see above) and in the following documents |
|
(http://sblim.sourceforge.net/whitepaper.html and |
|
http://sblim.sourceforge.net/presentations.html) and readme.cmpi in the |
|
Pegasus source root directory.</span><br> |
|
<h5>JMPI Java Interface Provider Manager</h5> |
|
<p>Pegasus includes an experimental provider manager for Java |
|
provider interfaces based on the SNIA provider interface |
|
definitions. This provider manager is considered alpha |
|
quality and is not compiled in the default build. See |
|
readme.jmpi in the Pegasus source root directory for more information.</p> |

<h3><b> Providers</b></h3> |
|
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">New for 2.5 is the ability of Providers |
|
to run out of process at |
|
request user- level and running CMPI providers remotely or out of |
|
process space.<br> |
|
<br> |
|
<span class="norm"></span>Administrators should check the providers to |
|
ensure that the provider vendor |

has made use of available authorization capability.<br> |
|
</div> |
|
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">There are a number of providers available |
|
in the Pegasus release. |
|
This includes providers in the following categories:</p> |
|
<blockquote style="margin-top: 5pt; margin-bottom: 5pt;"> |
|
<h4>Pegasus Internal Providers</h4> |
|
<p>Pegasus provides a set of "internal" providers that have direct |
|
access to the CIMOM for information and provide information and |
|
services to support the CIMOM and its administration. The |
|
providers in this category are mostly defined in the directory |
|
src/pegasus/controlproviders and include support for the following |
|
classes:</p> |
|
<ul> |
|
<li>DMTF Interop classes including __Namespace, <span |
|
class="SpellE">CIM_Namespace</span>, <span class="SpellE">CIM_ObjectManager</span>, |
|
<span class="SpellE">CIM_CommunicationMechanism, and |
|
CIMOMStatistics.</span></li> |
|
</ul> |
|
<h4><span class="SpellE">CMPI Remote</span></h4> |
|
<h4><span class="SpellE"></span></h4> |
|
<span class="SpellE">Pegasus includes an experimental support for |
|
running CMPI providers to be run on remote systems without the need for |
|
an extra CIMOM. It uses a special proxying provider to relay requests |
|
to a remote location using so-called communication layers. The remote |
|
side has to start a CMPIRDaemon process, which accepts remote requests |
|
and passes them on to CMPI style providers.<br> |
|
</span><span class="SpellE"></span><span class="SpellE"><br> |
|
</span> |
|
<h4><b>Generic Providers</b></h4> |
|
<p>Generic <span class="SpellE">OperatingSystem</span> provider. See |
|
the |
|
directory <span class="SpellE">src</span>/Providers/generic.</p> |
|
<h4><b>Test/Sample Providers</b></h4> |
|
<p>See the directories <span class="SpellE">src/Providers/TestProviders</span> |
|
and <span class="SpellE">src</span>/Providers/Sample for more |
|
information about test and |
|
sample providers.</p> |
|
<h4><b>Managed System Providers</b></h4> |
|
<p><span class="SpellE">ComputerSystem</span>, <span class="SpellE">DNSAdmin</span>, |
|
<span class="SpellE">DNSService</span>, Operating System, Process, |
|
Processor. For |
|
more information on these providers see the documentation for each |
|
provider in |
|
the directory <span class="SpellE">src/Providers/ManagedSystem</span></p> |
|
<h4><span class="SpellE">Server Statistics<br> |
|
</span></h4> |
|
CIM Server statistics, based on the DMTF 'CIM_StatisticalData' class, |
|
are implemented in this release. The statistics gathering is disabled |
|
by default. It may be enabled or disabled by performing a |
|
ModifyInstance operation on the singleton 'CIM_ObjectManager' instance |
|
in the 'PG_InterOp' namespace to set the GatherStatisticalData property |
|
to 'true' or 'false'. This property setting is persistent across CIM |
|
Server restarts. A statistics display test tool, cimperf, is available |
|
from the Pegasus CVS repository. |
|
<h4><br> |
|
<span class="SpellE"></span></h4> |
|
<h4><span class="SpellE">SLP Provider</span></h4> |
|
<p><span class="SpellE">This provider acts as the definer of |
|
SLP information for SLP registration and also controls the Pegasus SLP |
|
Service Agent. It is treated as a normal provider rather than a control |
|
provider because it does not use internal functions of the CIMOM to |
|
generate any of its information today. (conditionally compiled today)<br> |
|
</span></p> |
|
<br> |
|
<br> |
|
</blockquote> |
|
<h3><span class="SpellE"><b>CIM_Schema</b></span></h3> |
|
<p>The default <span class="SpellE">CIM_Schema</span> loaded with this |
|
release is |
|
the DMTF CIM 2.9, Final release. In addition, Pegasus includes |
|
a number of |
|
local classes defined for Pegasus. These are defined in the |
|
pegasus/Schemas |
|
directory. <span style=""></span>There are also a |
|
number of older schema available in the CVS.</p> |
|
<p>The mechanism to install other schemas than the default is defined |
|
in the mak/config.mak</p> |
|
<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><b>NOTE:</b> The CIM 2.5 schema is |
|
maintained in the |
|
CVS repository because it remains the basis for parts of the Pegasus |
|
test |
|
environment.</p> |
|
<h3><b>Pegasus MOF Compilers</b></h3> |
|
<p>Pegasus implements a MOF compiler that can operate either at the |
|
client |
|
interface to the Pegasus CIM Server (<span class="SpellE">cimmof</span>) |
|
or directly interfacing with a CIM |
|
repository (<span class="SpellE">cimmofl</span>).</p> |
|
<p>The direct interface compiler is used primarily to provide an |
|
initial |
|
class/instance repository. <font color="#ff0000"><b>WARNING:</b></font> |
|
the use of <span class="SpellE">cimmofl</span> |
|
to manipulate instances in the repository bypasses any provider that is |
|
registered to serve these instances and simply installs the |
|
instances in the |
|
instance repository; this may result in 1) bad data in the repository |
|
if there are registered providers, 2) corruption of the repository if |
|
the CIM Server is running or, 3) MOF data that is loaded but not |
|
available until the server is stopped and restarted in some |
|
cases. Use of <span class="SpellE">cimmofl in general is |
|
discouraged and particularly </span> to manipulate |
|
instances served by a registered providers (ex. Provider registration). |
|
<br> |
|
</p> |
|
<h3><b>Client Tools</b></h3> |
|
Lightweight statistics are now implemented for |
|
the |
|
client. The client statistics surfaces the elapsed time spent in the |
|
client, |
|
and the |
|
elapsed time spent on the network between client and server.<br> |

<h3><b>Pegasus Interface APIs</b></h3> |
|
<p>Details of the Pegasus public interfaces for this release are listed |
|
in PEP 209 |
|
available from the web <span class="GramE">site(</span><a |
|
href="http://www.openpegasus.org/pp/uploads/40/Administrator/My%20Documents/processes/www.openpegasus.org">www.openpegasus.org</a>). |
|
That document is the <span class="SpellE">authorative</span> source |
|
for the list of publicly supported Pegasus APIs. The Client |
|
and Provider API were originally frozen at the Pegasus version 2.1 |
|
release. The interfaces in the release of Pegasus 2.1 are forward |
|
compatible to this release. Well-behaved clients and providers compiled |
|
to the Pegasus 2.1 or 2.2 interfaces should be compatible with this |
|
release without compilation. There have been extensions and new |
|
interfaces added for this release and these are marked as experimental. |
|
The Pegasus public |
|
interfaces includes the following major functions</p> |

<h3><b>WMI <span class="SpellE">Mapper</span></b></h3> |
|
<p>The WBEM to WMI <span class="SpellE">Mapper</span> provides a way |
|
to access |
|
WMI data from Windows platform systems. It converts incoming XML/CIM |
|
requests |
|
to Microsoft WMI requests, executes the requests, converts the results |
|
to |
|
XML/CIM and returns the results to the client. WMI <span class="SpellE">Mapper</span> |
|
receives an HTTP message containing the XML/CIM request. It decodes the |
|
XML |
|
message and extracts from the HTTP message header the user credentials |
|
provided |
|
on the connection (username and password). The WMI <span class="SpellE">Mapper</span> |
|
authenticates these credentials, verifying if the provided credentials |
|
have |
|
access to the desired WMI data. This is done because the WMI <span |
|
class="SpellE">Mapper</span> runs as a service, logged on using an |
|
account with |
|
administrative rights (which has all access to WMI data). Because of |
|
this, the |
|
WMI <span class="SpellE">Mapper</span> impersonates the user |
|
credentials provided |
|
on the HTTP message to ensure that the calling user has rights to |
|
browse WMI |
|
data. Hence, ALL requests made to the WMI <span class="SpellE">Mapper</span> |
|
MUST |
|
contain user credentials.<br> |

<h3><b><b>Indication Handlers</b></b></h3> |
|
System Log Indication Handler<br> |
|
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">The SysLog Indication Handler is a new |
|
for 2.5 |
|
type of Indication Handler which allows CIM Indications to be delivered |
|
to the system syslog file. It has following features:<br> |
|
</div> |
|
<ul> |
|
<li>Each syslog file entry has a tag 'CIM Indication' to distinguish |
|
an entry made by Syslog Indication Handler.</li> |
|
</ul> |
|
<ul> |
|
<li>If a subscriber includes PerceivedSeverity property in the SELECT |
|
list of the filter condition for the indication, the PerceivedSeverity |
|
will be mapped to syslog error severity. Otherwise, syslog error |
|
severity 'LOG_INFO' is used.</li> |
|

|
|
|
<p>It is a major goal |
|
of the OpenPegasus project to both drive and utilize the DMTF CIM/WBEM |
|
specifications. However, today there are a number of known |
|
differences. |
|
As of this release, some of the differences include the following:</p> |
|
|
|
<ol> |
|
|
|
<li><b>Provider Registration</b> - Pegasus supports registration |
|
through a set of Pegasus Provider registration classes rather than |
|
support the DMTF defined Provider Qualifier. Pegasus will not support |
|
this qualifier in the future. See the readme for more information on |
|
provider registration. This is not a deviation from the specifications but |
|
is a different method of registration than many CIM Servers and means that the |
|
the provider qualifier is unused in Pegasus.</li> |
|
|
|
<li> <b>Indications </b>-Today Pegasus supports process indications and |
|
lifecycle indications when defined specifically by providers. Pegasus does not |
|
support lifecycle indications if they are not defined by the provider or for |
|
changes to CIM Classes.<font color="#FF0000"> </font><span class="norm"> |
|
<font color="#FF0000"> </font>For more information see the Pegasus CVS |
|
file <a name="comtag_137"> <font face="Courier New">pegasus/src/Unsupported/LifecycleIndicationProvider/README.LifecycleIndications.htm</font></a>.</span></li> |

|
option on Instance Operations</font><span style="color: black;"><b> </b> |
|
- |
|
The DMTF specifications have deprecated the use of qualifiers on instance |
|
operations with the 1.2 CIM Operations Specification. Some CIM Client implementations expect instances |
|
returned |
|
from the CIM Server to include the qualifiers defined in the class |
|
definition (such as KEY qualifiers on properties). </span> Pegasus |
|
today expects the provider to complete the qualifiers on instances in |
|
accordance with the specification and generally the interpretation is |
|
that Pegasus applies class level qualifiers when the includeInstance |
|
parameter is supplied on instance operations. However, Pegasus |
|
today is inconsistent in the return of qualifiers so that the user |
|
should NOT depend on Pegasus accurately honoring the includeQualifier |
|
parameter for instance operations. In the future it is expected |
|
that Pegasus will deprecate the use of qualifiers on instance |
|
operations completely.<font color="#FF0000"> </font></p> |
|
|
|
</li> |
|
|
|
<li><b>LocalOnly option on instance |
|
Operations </b>- With the 1.1 version of Specification for CIM |
|
Operations over HTTP, the definition of the LocalOnly parameter for the |
|
GetInstance and EnumerateInstances operations was modified. This change |
|
was incorrect, resulted in reduced functionality and introduced a |
|
number of backward compatibility issues. As a result of issues |
|
introduced by this change, we strongly recommend that CIM Clients set |
|
LocalOnly = false and do not rely on the use of this parameter to |
|
filter the set of set of properties returned. See Appendix C of this |
|
specification for more information.</li> |
|
|
|
<li> |
|
|
|
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>MultiRequest Oprations</b> - Pegasus |
|
does not support the DMTF defined MultiRequest Operation option.</p> |

<h2><span style="color: black;"><a name="PEGASUS Bugs">Pegasus Defects</a></span></h2> |
<h2><a name="Conformance with DMTF Specifications">Conformance with |
|
DMTF Specifications</a></h2> |
|
<p>It is a major goal |
|
of the OpenPegasus project to both drive and utilize the DMTF CIM/WBEM |
|
specifications. However, today there are a number of known |
|
differences. |
|
As of this release, some of the differences include the following:</p> |
|
<ol> |
|
<li><b>Provider Registration</b> - Pegasus supports registration |
|
through a set of Pegasus Provider registration classes rather than |
|
support the DMTF defined Provider Qualifier. Pegasus will not support |
|
this qualifier in the future. See the readme for more information on |
|
provider registration.</li> |
|
<li> <b>Indications </b>-Today Pegasus supports process |
|
indications but does not |
|
include any specific support for lifecycle indications.</li> |
|
<li> |
|
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"> </span><font |
|
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">IncludeQualifiers |
|
option on Instance Operations</font><span style="color: black;"><b> </b> |
|
- |
|
The DMTF specifications are unclear regarding the inclusion of |
|
qualifiers on |
|
CIM instances. Some CIM Client implementations expect instances |
|
returned |
|
from the CIM Server to include the qualifiers defined in the class |
|
definition (such as KEY qualifiers on properties). </span> Pegasus |
|
today expects the provider to complete the qualifiers on instances in |
|
accordance with the specification and generally the interpretation is |
|
that Pegasus applies class level qualifiers when the includeInstance |
|
parameter is supplied on instance operations. However, Pegasus |
|
today is inconsistent in the return of qualifiers so that the user |
|
should NOT depend on Pegasus accurately honoring the includeQualifier |
|
parameter for instance operations. In the future it is expected |
|
that Pegasus will deprecate the use of qualifiers on instance |
|
operations completely.</p> |
|
</li> |
|
<li><b>LocalOnly option on instance |
|
Operations </b>- With the 1.1 version of Specification for CIM |
|
Operations over HTTP, the definition of the LocalOnly parameter for the |
|
GetInstance and EnumerateInstances operations was modified. This change |
|
was incorrect, resulted in reduced functionality and introduced a |
|
number of backward compatibility issues. As a result of issues |
|
introduced by this change, we strongly recommend that CIM Clients set |
|
LocalOnly = false and do not rely on the use of this parameter to |
|
filter the set of set of properties returned.</li> |
|
<li> |
|
<p class="MsoNormal"> <b>CIM MOF compiler function for |
|
instance aliasing</b> - The Pegasus MOF compiler does not today support |
|
this function. This function is planned for a future version.</p> |
|
</li> |
|
<li> |
|
<p class="MsoNormal"><b> MultiRequest Oprations</b> - Pegasus |
|
does not support the DMTF defined MultiRequest Operation option.</p> |
|
</li> |
|
<li> |
|
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>MOFCompiler namespace pragma</b> - The |
|
Pegasus compiler does not support the namespace pragma.</p> |
|
</li> |
|
</ol> |
|

<p>The development and release of each version of Pegasus is defined |
|
and |
|
controlled through Pegasus PEP documents. PEP 180 is the |
|
controlling document |
|
this release and lists the original set of changes proposed and the |
|
status of |
|
each of those changes. Note that not all of the originally defined |
