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. PEP |
|
174 provides more detailed information on how to enable functionality that is |
|
conditionally compiled in this release.</p> |

<h4><b>Indications</b></h4> |

<p class=MsoNormal>Process indications are operational in the Server. This includes support |
<tr style=""> |
for subscriptions, filters, and indication handlers, the provider API for |
|
indications and the CIMXML indication handler. </p> |
|

<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. </p> |

<h4><b>Query Language</b></h4> |
<td style="padding: 0.75pt;" align="left" height="22"> |
| |
<p>The query language today is based on WQL and is implemented and used for |
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"> |
filters and in 2.4 for execQuery. The execQuery support for WQL has |
<font size="2"><span style="font-family: Arial">21 June 2008</span></font></p> |
been implemented in Pegasus 2.4 but is considered alpha quality.</p> |
|
|
|
<h4><b>Class Repository</b></h4> |
|
|
|
<p>Pegasus uses an XML based file/directory class repository. All class and qualifier operations |
|
access this repository. The repository was modified to improve efficiency in 2.4 |
|
by adding a binary repository option to reduce repository size. The binary |
|
repository functions are considered alpha level because they have only been |
|
contributor tested and there is no test function in the automated Pegasus test |
|
suite.</p> |
|
|
|
<h4><b>Instance Repository</b></h4> |
|
|
|
<p>Pegasus uses an XML based file/directory Instance repository. The |
|
instance repository may be conditionally used as the default repository |
|
with a Pegasus configuration flag ( As defined in PEP 174, it is normally set |
|
to NOT use the instance repository as default).</p> |

<h4><b>SLP Discovery</b></h4> |
</td> |
| |
<p>SLP support is included but is conditionally compiled with the default. This code can be enabled by setting the compile |
<td style="padding: 0.75pt;" height="22"> |
environment variable PEGASUS_ENABLE_SLP. Once compiled, SLP support |
|
is enabled with the slp configuration parameter (slp=true). SLP support includes |
|
an SLP service agent in the Pegasus CIM severas 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).</p> |
|
|
|
<h4>Provider Managers</h4> |
|
|
|
<p>Pegasus is designed to support multiple Provider Managers to allow multiple |
|
provider interfaces to the CIMOM. The default provider manager is the C++ |
|
Interface. This section defines the additional provider managers available |
|
with Pegasus 2.4.</p> |

<p>Pegasus 2.4 includes a provider manager for the CMPI C interfaces.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> |

|
href="http://www-124.ibm.com/sblim/)">http://www-124.ibm.com/sblim/)</a> and |

also the working draft of the Open Group specification for these interfaces |
|
which is in review now within the <span class=SpellE>WBEMSource</span> |
|
Initiative (<a href="http://www.wbemsource.org/">http://www.wbemsource.org</a>). |
|
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. </p> |
|
|
|
<p>Today, the CMPI provider manager and interfaces are considered experimental |

and are subject to change in future versions of Pegasus until the CMPI |

<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). Use of <span |
|
class=SpellE>cimmof</span> rather that <span class=SpellE>cimmofl is encouraged</span> |
|
wherever possible.</p> |

available from the web <span class=GramE>site(</span><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 |

<h3><font color="#000000">Information on IPv6 Support (PEP 291)</font></h3> |
|
<p><b>NOTE:</b> This functionality was incorporated in OpenPegasus 2.7.0 but it |
|
was felt that the information below was worth repeating in the 2.8.0 Release |
|
Notes</p> |
|
<p style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"><font color="#000000">IPv6 is short for "Internet |
|
Protocol |
|
Version 6". IPv6 is the "next generation" protocol designed by the IETF |
|
to replace the current version Internet Protocol, IP Version 4 |
|
("IPv4"). IPv6 Support for OpenPegasus is documented in </font> <a |
|
href="http://www.openpegasus.org/pp/uploads/40/14222/PEP_291_IPv6.html"> |
|
<font color="#3333FF">PEP |
|
291</font></a><font color="#000000">.</font></p> |
|
<p>The IPv6 support in OpenPegasus is |
|
controlled by the PEGASUS_ENABLE_IPV6 build variable. The default for this |
|
variable is "true"; setting this to |
|
'false' before building OpenPegasus will disable the IPv6 support.<br> |
|
</p> |
|
<p>The following subsections provide |
|
some information on IPv6 support for the Linux and Windows platforms. |
|
Note that in the 2.6.1 release there is no automatic run-time detection |
|
of IPv6 support on a platform by OpenPegasus. If you build with |
|
PEGASUS_ENABLE_IPV6=true, your platform must support IPv6 or you will |
|
get a build failure (missing header files), a run-time bind() failure, |
|
or possibly some other failure. This applies to both the CIM Server and |
|
Listener components. For more information on IPv6 support for your |
|
specific platform, refer to the documentation for that platform.<br> |
|
</p> |
|
<p>All OpenPegasus externals that |
|
support either a hostname or an IP address as input have been updated |
|
to allow an IPv6 address to be specified. If the required input is just |
|
an IP address (eg. no optional or required port number), then the IPv6 |
|
address must be specified without brackets. For example, the |
|
OpenPegasus osinfo client (which returns information about the OS |
|
running on a host system) takes separate host and port options. In this |
|
case a host with an IPv6-configured network interface would be |
|
specified as:<br> |
|
</p> |
|
<div style="margin-left: 40px; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"><font color="#000000">osinfo -h |
|
3ffe:1:2:1 -p 5988</font></div> |
|
<p>But the cimcli command, which |
|
takes |
|
an optional "location" option including an optional port number, |
|
requires the IPv6 address to be delimited with brackets, for example:<br> |
|
</p> |
|
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">cimcli ns -l [3ffe:1:2:1]</div> |
|
<p>or</p> |
|
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">cimcli ns -l [3ffe:1:2:1]:5989<br> |
|
</div> |
|
<br> |
|
For more information on |
|
specifying |
|
IPv6 addresses, refer to <a |
|
href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2373.txt">IETF RFC 2373 - IP Version |
|
6 Addressing Architecture</a> |
|
and <a |
|
href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2732.txt">IETF RFC 2732 - Format for |
|
Literal IPv6 Addresses in URL's</a>.<br> |
|
<h4><font color="#000000">IPv6 on Linux</font></h4> |
|
<p>Modern Linux distributions already |
|
contain IPv6-ready kernels, the |
|
IPv6 capability is generally compiled as a module, but it's possible |
|
that this module is not loaded automatically on startup.</p> |
|
<p>Note: |
|
you shouldn't anymore use kernel series 2.2.x, because it's not |
|
IPv6-up-to-date anymore. Also the IPv6 support in series 2.4.x is no |
|
longer improved according to definitions in latest RFCs. It's recommend |
|
to use series 2.6.x now.<br> |
|
</p> |
|
<p>To check whether your current |
|
running |
|
kernel supports IPv6, take a look into your /proc filesystem. The entry |
|
/proc/net/if_inet6 must exist. A short automated test looks like:<br> |
|
</p> |
|
<div style="margin-left: 40px; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"><font color="#000000">test -f |
|
/proc/net/if_inet6 && echo "Running kernel is IPv6 ready"</font></div> |
|
<p>For more information on |
|
enabling |
|
IPv6 in the Linux kernel and configuring network interfaces, refer to |
|

|
Documentation Project's IPv6 HOWTO</a>.<br> |

|
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Warning</span>: |
|
There is currently an open issue with RedHat to address a problem that |
|
is seen intermittently on RHEL5 and SLES10 systems. This problem is |
|
described in <span |

|
and manifests itself as an intermittent IPv6 socket failure. You should be aware |
|
that OpenPegasus with IPv6 enabled may be significantly impacted in these |
|
environments.</p> |
|
<h4><font color="#000000">IPv6 on Windows</font></h4> |
|
<p>Microsoft provides supported IPv6 |
|
implementations for Windows Server |
|
2003, Windows XP with Service Pack 1 (SP1), Windows XP with Service |
|
Pack 2 (SP2), and Windows CE .NET 4.1 and later.</p> |
|
On Windows XP, you can use the <span |
|
style="font-weight: bold; ">ipv6.exe</span> tool to install, uninstall, and |
|
query |
|
your IPv6 configuration. For example:<br> |
|
<br> |
|
<div style="margin-left: 40px; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"><font color="#000000">ipv6 install<br> |
|
ipv6 if</font></div> |
|
<p>Windows Vista |
|
and Windows Server 2008 support an integrated |
|
IPv4 and IPv6 implementation known as the Next Generation TCP/IP stack. |
|
Note that the OpenPegasus IPv6 support has not yet been tested |
|
on Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008.<br> |
|
<br> |
|
For more information on |
|
installing, configuring, and using IPv6 on Windows platforms, refer to |
|
the document |

|
</p> |
|
<h4><font color="#000000">Testing your OpenPegasus IPv6 |
|
support</font></h4> |
|
As part of the OpenPegasus |
|
automated tests, the TestClient, g11ntest, and IndicationStressTest |
|
test clients were modified to run tests using the IPv6 loopback address |
|
(::1) if PEGASUS_ENABLE_IPV6=true.<br> |
|
<br> |
|
You can also perform manual |
|
tests |
|
using the IPv6 loopback or a real IPv6-configured network interface. |
|
For example, using the IPv6 loopback on a system with OpenPegasus |
|
running on the WBEM standard http port of 5988:<br> |

<h2><a name="Compatibility_Considerations_">Compatibility Considerations</a></h2> |
|
<p>Support for forward-compatibility is a fundamental design principle for the |
|
OpenPegasus project. As a Community, our goal is for well-behaved OpenPegasus |
|
Providers or Clients, using only the externally defined OpenPegasus interface, |
|
to continue to work with a minor version upgrade of OpenPegasus. However, there |
|
are certain classes of errors (e.g., non-compliance with a standard that |
|
significantly affects interoperability) that may require the Community to make |
|
potentially incompatible changes. The following table contains a list of defect |
|
fixes that MAY impact, even well-behaved, OpenPegasus Providers or Clients when |
|
upgrading to OpenPegasus 2.8.0.</p> |

<p align="left">In Pegasus 2.8, the algorithm used by the MessageLoader |
|
to search the accept language list to determine which message file to |
|
open was changed. Before Pegasus 2.8, the Message Loader used the |
|
following algorithm: </p> |
|
<blockquote> |
|
<p align="left">1.) The Message Loader will search the accept |
|
language list for an exact match. The first exact match found will |

be returned.<br> |

2.) If an exact match does not exist, the Message Loader will return |
|
an ICU "fallback" match for the first entry in accept language list.<br> |
|
3.) If an ICU "fallback" match does not exist for the first entry, |
|
it will return the ROOT resource bundle.</p> |
|
</blockquote> |
|
<p align="left">With the release of Pegasus 2.8, the Message Loader will |
|
not longer return ICU "fallback" matches. In addition, it will give |

preference to the default process locale over the ROOT resource bundle. |

In Pegasus 2.8, the Message Loader has been modified to use the |

following algorithm: </p> |
|
<ul> |
|
<p align="left">1.) The Message Loader will search the accept |

<p align="left">Since OpenPegasus 2.7.2 the way CMPI_chars are added to |

If you experience an error since switching over to OpenPegasus 2.8 |

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> |

|
Operations </b>- With the 1.1 version of Specification for CIM |
|
Operations over HTTP, the definition of the LocalOnly parameter for the |
|
GetInstance and Enumerate Instances 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> |

This trailer was completely removed from the DSP0200 1.2 final specification |

their corresponding fixes but also as part of the process of committing new code |

representing the work on PEPs done for Pegasus 2.6 and all subsequent versions. Therefore, a search of |

the Open Pegasus bugzilla base for bugs with the tag for a particular version |

|
|
<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> | <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> |
|

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> <b>Instance qualifiers and class |
|
qualifiers on some Operations</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> |
