<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 the 2.8.0 Release

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

("IPv4"). IPv6 Support for OpenPegasus is documented in <a href="http://www.openpegasus.org/pp/uploads/40/14222/PEP_291_IPv6.html">

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

PEP

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

Line 1346

Line 1314

case a host with an IPv6-configured network interface would be

specified as:

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

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

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

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;">cimcli ns -l [3ffe:1:2:1]</div>

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

or

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

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

</div>

<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:

Note:

you shouldn't anymore use kernel series 2.2.x, because it's not

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.

Line 1382

Line 1348

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);">test -f

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

<TD>

In Pegasus 2.8, the CMPI property filter handling has

been improved in performance.

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 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:

<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.

</ul>

</TD>

</TR>

7501</a></TD>

<TD>

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>
