the Pegasus platform

<hr>

<o:p> </o:p>

</td>

<h2>Availability of the Release</h2>

The Pegasus 2.3 release is available as a source release in both ZIP and TAR formats.

<o:p> </o:p>

The release can be downloaded from the OpenPegaus Web site at www.openpegasus.org.

In addition, the release is available through Pegasus CVS as the branch tag

RELEASE_2_3_0-branch. This defines the current released version of Pegasus 2.3 . In

addition, the following tags exist for the release. RELEASE_2_3_0-root which defines the

initial release point of Pegasus 2.3 and the point at which it branched from the trunk..

Other tags may exist to mark release candidate snapshots, etc. These will be announced on

the web site and the Pegasus mailing list.

The instructions for acquiring the released code are on the WEB site. Installation

instructions are part of the readme in the root of the source tree.

The OpenPegasus project is currently not providing binary releases. However, binary

releases may be available of selected ports and are documented on the OpenPegasus web

site.

There may be point releases to the Pegasus 2.3 release and these will be announced on the

Pegasus web site.

</td>

<h2>Functionality of This Release</h2>

The overall level of functionality in the Pegasus environment effective with this

<o:p> </o:p>

release is as follows:

CIM Server

</td>

CIM Operations over HTTP<ol>

<li>    Class Operations (getClass, deleteClass, modifyClass, enumerateClass,

enuerateClassNames) - Operational</li>

<li>    Qualifier Operations - Operational</li>

<li>    Instance Operations (getInstance, deleteInstance, modifyInstance,

enumerateInstance, enumerateInstanceNames, getProperty, setProperty) - Operational</li>

<li>    Association Operations (references, referencenames, associators,

associatornames - Operational </li>

<li>    Methods- Operational</li>

<li>    Query operation (Not Operational)</li>

</ol>

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. The Pegasus sever can be used as an Indication client. 

The Client indication  API support is complete but the interfaces are marked

experimental for version 2.3 because this is the first version of Pegasus in which these

APIs were available.

Query Language

The query language today is based on WQL and is implemented and used for filters.

However, the executeQuery operation has not been implemented pending the availability of a

standard DMTF Query language.

Class Repository

XML based file/directory Class repository.

Instance Repository

XML based file/directory Instance repository.  The instance repository is used as

the default repository unless a flag is set disabling this repository for client

operations.

Security<ol>

<li>Basic Security (Note that Digest based security is not implemented)</li>

<li>SSL support - SSL is implemented in Pegasus using the OpenSSL libraries. Pegasus does

not provide the OpenSSL libraries but SSL can be used on any platform supported by

OpenSSL.</li>

</ol>

Platform Management Functions<ol>

<li>Configuration through the defined configuration parameters.</li>

<li>Daemon operation on all supported platforms</li>

<li>User management utilities</li>

<li>Provider management. The CIM Server provides dynamic registration of providers and

automatic load and unload functionality.</li>

</ol>

SLP Discovery

SLP support is enabled in the platform but is conditionally compiled with the default

to not compile it today pending further testing.

</blockquote>

Providers

<o:p> </o:p>

There are a number of standard providers available in Pegasus release. This

</td>

includes providers in the following categories:

</tr>

Internal Providers<ul>

<li>__Namespace provider - Serves the __Namespace class to allow manipulation of namespaces.</li>

<li>Subscription Classes Providers - These provide subscription, filter, and indication

handler processing.</li>

<li>Provider registration Providers - This provide registration of providers using the

PG_Provider classes.</li>

<li>ConfigProvider - Manages Pegasus configuraton information.</li>

<li>UserAuthProvider - Manages password, etc.</li>

<li>ShutdownProvider - Provides support for Pegasus shutdown.</li>

<li>Interop Provider - Supports many of the DMTF Interop Schema Classes including

CIM_Namespace, CIM_ObjectManager, etc. (Note that this provider is part of the SLP work

package so is not compiled as part of the default compile)</li>

</ul>

Generic Providers

Generic OperatingSystem provider. See the directory src/Providers/generic.

Test/Sample Providers

See the directories src/Providers/TestProviders and src/Sample for more information

about test and sample providers.

Managed System Providers

ComputerSystem, DNSAdmin, DNSService, Operating System, Process, Processor. For more

information on these providers see the documentation for each provider in the directory

src/Providers/ManagedSystem

CIMOM Statistics Providers

IBMStatisticalData - This is an early version of the work that became

CIM_StatisticalData. It is similar to CIM_StatisticalData and provides the same data but

the structure of the Classes is slightly different.

</blockquote>

Linux Specific Providers

There are a number of providers in this category including DiskDrive, CDROMDrive,

Interrupt, IOPOrt, IPROute, NetworkAdapter, Operating System, PCI Controller, Processor,

ProviderData, ProviderSupport, SoftwareElement.  For more information about these

providers see the documentation in the directory src/Providers/linux

</blockquote>

CIM_Schema

1.0<o:p></o:p>

The default CIM_Schema loaded with the Pegasus 2.2 release is the DMTF CIM 2.7 Final

</td>

release.  In addition, Pegasus includes a number of local classes defined for

Pegasus.  These are visible in the Schemas directory.

Pegasus MOF Compiler

Pegasus implements a MOF compiler that can operate either at the client interface

(cimmof) or directly interfacing with a CIM repository (cimmofl).

05 January 2009

The direct interface compiler is used primarily to provide an initial class/instance

</td>

repository. Note that use of cimmofl to manipulate instances in the repository bypasses

any provider that is registered to serve the instances and simply installs the instances

in the instance repository; this may result in corruption if providers are using the

repository.  Use of cimmofl to manipulate instances served by a registered providers

is therefore discouraged. Use of cimmof rather that cimmofl is encouraged.

Client Tools

Pegasus CIM Server Adminstration

Karl Schopmeyer

<ol>

</td>

Pegasus Interface APIs

Details of the Pegasus public interfaces for release 2.3 is listed in PEP 96 available

<td style="padding: 0.75pt;" align="center" height="21">16 Jananuary 2008</td>

from the web site(www.openpegasus.org). This document is the authorative 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 release 2.3 (clients and providers compiled to

the Pegasus 2.1 or 2.2 interfaces should be compatible with Pegasus 2.3 without

compilation)  but there have been extensions and new interfaces added for release 2.3

  The public interfaces includes the following major functions

<ol>

<td style="padding: 0.75pt;" align="center" height="21">Karl Schopmeyer</td>

<li>Client APIs</li>

<li>Provider APIs</li>

<li>CIM Objects</li>

<li>CIM Listener (experimental for Pegasus 2.3). These are compiled only if the

PEGASUS_USE_EXPERIMENTAL_INTERFACES flag is set.</li>

<li>SLP Client (experimental for Pegasus 2.3). These are compiled only if the

PEGASUS_USE_EXPERIMENTAL_INTERFACES flag is set.</li>

</ol>

The functions are documented in their respective header files and HTML documentation

<td style="padding: 0.75pt;" height="21">Update with comments from 1.0 incorporated.</td>

based on the information in the header files extracted with the doc++ tool will be

available on the OpenPegasus web site.

WMI Mapper

A version of of the Pegasus platform that specifically communicates with Microsoft WMI

implementations and interfaces with WMI object is provided as a separately compilable code

set in the CVS.

<h2>Supported Platforms</h2>

Each Pegasus release lists as supported platforms those hardware/software platforms

that have recognized ports for the Pegasus code base including a maintainer for the

platform that will be willing to regularly assure that the port is maintained as the

Pegasus code base is changed.  Pegasus may be operable on other platforms (ex.

Windows 98) but without a group to provide the role of test and maintenance, the Pegasus

project cannot assure operation. The supported platforms for current release are:

<h2>Conformance with DMTF Specifications</h2>

Pegasus tries to conform to the CIM specifications.  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 differences.  As of Pegasus 2.3, some of the

differences include the following:

1. Provider Registration - Pegasus supports registration through a set of Provider

</tr>

registration classes  similar to the CIM Classes defined as experimental in the CIM

2.8 preliminary Schema release and does not support the Provider Qualifier. Note that

there are differences that must still be worked out between the Pegasus PG provider

registration classes and the CIM classes as part of the move to release of the CIM

classes.

2. Indications -Pegasus supports process indications but does not include any specific

support for lifecycle indications.

3. Interop Schema - Today Pegasus provides alternatives to some of the classes in the

Interop Schema including CIM_StatisticalData.

4. execQuery operaiton - Today Pegasus does not support the execQuery pending the

availability of a standard for the query language.

5. Pegasus differs from some other implementations in the delivery of instance and

class qualifiers on some operations.

6. Pegasus has not implemented the alias functions defined in the CIM specification in

the MOF compiler.

<h2>Changes in this Release</h2>

</tr>

The development and release of each version of Pegasus is defined and controlled

through Pegasus PEP documents.  PEP 57 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 functionality was completed for this release.

In general, the changes implemented for this release were:

Abstract: This document defines the release notes for the

2.9.0 release of the OpenPegasus CIM Server. The purpose of this PEP is

to summarize the characteristics of this release, point to other

documentation that defines the release in more detail, and provide

additional information about this release that is not available in the

other Pegasus documentation.

<h2>OpenPegasus Functionality for This Release</h2>

Note that there were a number of objectives that were not completely achieved

Pegasus overall status by release is defined by  a

including:

<a href="http://www.openpegasus.org/page.tpl?ggid=799">Feature Status WEB Page</a>

that is available on the OpenPegasus web site .  That web page shows the

Pegasus users and developers the status of the various features found in Pegasus

using a simple color coded key (white, red, yellow, green) and a description of

each feature.Pegasus 2.9.0

is a major release, extending the previous Pegasus release in selected

areas as described in the Pegasus  PEP defining this release

.

<ol>

The major areas of development for this release  were as follows. For

<li>SLP integration - This code is in place but is compiled only with a conditional compile

more information access the PEP for each change defined:

flag. This code can be enabled by setting the environment variables PEGASUS_SLP_ENABLE and

PEGASUS_SLP_CLASSES and recompiling Pegasus.</li>

<li>Pluggable provider manager - This was a major objective but because the code changes

were extensive and released very late in the developement cycle of 2.3, both the old and

the new provider managers are maintained in the release AND the old provider manager is

defined as the default compile.  To compile and run with the new pluggable provider

manager functions the user must set a compile flag (ENABLE_PROVIDER_MANAGER2).  NOTE:

It is the intention of the Pegasus project to move to the new provider manager as soon as

possible.</li>

<li>HTTP Monitor enhancements - As with the Pluggable Provider Manager, it was the intention

to incorporate a number of enhancements to the HTTP monitor.  Again because the time

in the development phase when they were submitted, the project team elected to release 2.3

with the existing monitor as the default compile but with the code for both monitors. It

is the intention to move to the new monitor as soon as possible and users are free to work

with either implementation.  To compile and run with the new monitor use the flag

PEGASUS_MONITOR2.</li>

</ol>

The set of PEPs defined for this release is summarized below along with the final

implementation status because not all of the PEPs originally defined for this version were

Finally, a significant number of internal changes and corrections were made

under the control of the Pegasus bugzilla bug system. See the bug section below

for more information.

<h3>Information on  IPv6 Support (PEP 291)</h3>

NOTE: This functionality was incorporated in OpenPegasus 2.7.0 but it

was felt that the information below was worth repeating in subsequent Release

Notes

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 <a href="http://www.openpegasus.org/pp/uploads/40/14222/PEP_291_IPv6.html">

PEP

291</a>.

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.

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.

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:

<div style="margin-left: 40px; color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-family: monospace;"><big>osinfo -h

3ffe:1:2:1 -p 5988</big></div>

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:

<div style="margin-left: 40px; font-family: monospace;"><big>cimcli ns -l [3ffe:1:2:1]</big></div>

or

<div style="margin-left: 40px;"><big>cimcli ns -l [3ffe:1:2:1]:5989</big>

</div>

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>.

<h4>IPv6 on Linux</h4>

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.

Note:

you shouldn't 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.

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:

<div style="margin-left: 40px; color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-family: monospace;"><big>test -f

/proc/net/if_inet6 && echo "Running kernel is IPv6 ready"</big></div>

For more information on

enabling

IPv6 in the Linux kernel and configuring network interfaces, refer to

<a href="http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Linux+IPv6-HOWTO/">The Linux

Documentation Project's IPv6 HOWTO</a>.

Warning:

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

<a href="http://cvs.opengroup.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6586">Pegasus

bug 6586</a>

and

<a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=248052">RedHat

bug 248052</a>,

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.

<h4>IPv6 on Windows</h4>

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.

On Windows XP, you can use the ipv6.exe tool to install, uninstall, and

query

your IPv6 configuration. For example:

<div style="margin-left: 40px; color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-family: monospace;"><big>ipv6 install

ipv6 if</big></div>

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.

For more information on

installing, configuring, and using IPv6 on Windows platforms, refer to

the document

IPv6

for Microsoft Windows: Frequently Asked Questions</a>.

<h4>Testing your OpenPegasus IPv6

support</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.

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:

osinfo -h ::1</big></div>

<h2><a name="Compatibility_Considerations_">Compatibility Considerations</a></h2>

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 this OpenPegasus release.

<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://bugzilla.openpegasus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8229">8229</a></td><td>The Common Information Model (CIM) Infrastructure Specification (DSP0004)

version 2.3 contains this statement in section 3.2: "If the specification

references a class without defining it first, the server must reject it as

invalid if it does not already have a definition of that class."

Previously, this check was only performed for derived classes. In

Pegasus 2.9, the check is also done for base classes. This may cause a

MOF file that previously loaded without problem to generate an error if it

contains a forward reference. Note that the CIM 2.13.1 schema in the

Pegasus source repository contained such an error in Pegasus 2.8, which is

also corrected in Pegasus 2.9.</td></tr><tr align="center">

<td align="left">In Pegasus 2.8, the behavior of the setName() method was

changed in the Pegasus C++ interface for the CIM data type model. For

data types that use a shared representation model, the setName() method

now throws an Exception when the object is "contained" by another CIM

data object.

Specifically, setName() may throw the new exception in these cases:

CIMProperty contained by CIMClass, CIMInstance, and CIMObject

CIMQualifier contained by CIMClass, CIMInstance, CIMObject,

CIMProperty, CIMParameter, and CIMMethod

CIMMethod contained by CIMClass

CIMParameter contained by CIMMethod</td>

</tr>

<td>

In Pegasus 2.8, the C++ CMPI IndicationMI function

signatures were changed to fit the CMPIIndicationMIFT definitions.

The CmpiResult parameter in CmpiIndicationMI authorizeFilter, mustPoll,

activateFilter and deActivateFilter have been removed cause it does not

exist in the CMPIIndicationMIFT definitions.

The missing CmpiContext parameter and CMPIStatus have been added to

enableIndications and disableIndications.</td>

</tr>

<td>

In Pegasus 2.8, the CMPI property filter handling performance was improved.

Two things have changed in the behaviour of the property filter

handling:

* Repeated applying of property filters onto the same instance will now

only leave the properties which build the most common dominator on the

instance.

* It is not possible anymore to add properties not defined for the

corresponding class to an instance.</td>

</tr>

<td>

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:

1.) The Message Loader will search the accept

language list for an exact match. The first exact match found will

be returned.

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.

3.) If an ICU "fallback" match does not exist for the first entry,

it will return the ROOT resource bundle.

</blockquote>

With the release of Pegasus 2.8, the Message Loader no longer returns ICU "fallback" matches. In addition, it gives

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

In Pegasus 2.8, the Message Loader was modified to use the

following algorithm:

<ul>

1.) The Message Loader will search the accept

language list for an exact match. The first exact match found will

be returned.

2.) If an exact match does not exist, the Message Loader will return

an exact match for the default process locale.

3.) If an exact match for the default process locale is not found,

it will return the ROOT resource bundle.

Since OpenPegasus 2.7.2 the way CMPI_chars are added to

arrays was corrected to follow the CMPI specification. Following the

CMPI specification means that CMPI_chars are not to be dereferenced,

contrary to all other subtypes of CMPIValues.

If you experience an error since switching over to OpenPegasus 2.8

saying "The byte sequence starting at offset xx is not valid UTF-8

encoding", this is an indication for a missing update in the provider

code.

The update for a C CMPI provider using arrays of CMPI_chars is to use a

char* now as input parameter instead of a char**.

CMPI Example:

char* role = "Unknown";

array = CMNewArray(_broker,1,CMPI_chars,rc);

from:

CMSetArrayElementAt(array,0,(CMPIValue*)&role,CMPI_chars);

to:

CMSetArrayElementAt(array,0,(CMPIValue*)role,CMPI_chars);</td>

The current bug list for Pegasus is openly available on the OpenPegasus web site.

It is a major goal

As of the release of 2.3.0, the open bug list was as follows:

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:

138 bugs found.

<li>Provider Registration - 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>Indications -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.  For

This trailer was completely removed from the DSP0200 1.2 final specification

as a non-compatible change so that if chunking is used Pegasus is returning

a noncompliant response to enumerate type requests.

<h2>OpenPegasus <a name="Supported Platforms">Supported

Platforms</a></h2>

Each OpenPegasus release lists as 'active' platforms those

hardware/software platforms that have recognized ports for the Pegasus code base

including a maintainer for the platform that will be willing to regularly

document issues and/or fix defects as the Pegasus code base is changed. 

Pegasus may be operable on other platforms (ex. Windows 98) but without a group

to provide the role of test and maintenance, correct operation of  Pegasus

<td width="957">Client API should support socks </td>

cannot be assured.  In all cases, including the active platforms, it is the

</tr>

responsibility of the entity that packages and/or compiles OpenPegasus for

shipment or deployment, to read, and actively monitor the Pegasus bugzilla

database for a list of relevant defects that affect their platform.  

The platforms that are considered ported are shown in the two tables below. 

The first table represents platform sofr which testing is done on a regular

basis and reported to the Pegasus Nightly Build Test WEB Page. Those platforms

which have been ported but do not have test results that are current at the time

of the release are reported in the second table.Actively Supported Platforms (Nightly Tests Reported for this release)

<h2><a name="PEGASUS Bugs">Pegasus Defects</a></h2>

The Pegasus bugzilla database documents any defects found in Pegasus

and  is available through the following link:  <a href="http://cvs.rdg.opengroup.org/bugzilla/">OpenPegasus bugzilla

database</a>.

Effective with the start of the Pegasus 2.6 work, all changes to the CVS tree

were documented through bugs.  Bugs reports were filed not only for bugs and

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

(ex. 

2.6.0_APPROVED</a>,

2.6.1_APPROVED</a>,

<a href="http://cvs.rdg.opengroup.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?keywords=2.7.0_APPROVED">2.7.0_APPROVED</a>) will yield all changes to

the Pegasus CVS tree for that Pegasus release.

     - Changes for Pegasus 2.9.0 release (bugs Tagged
