Abstract: This document defines the release notes for the

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

2.11.0 release of the OpenPegasus CIM Server with notes to reflect the 2.11.1 revision. The purpose of this PEP

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>Availability

of this Release</h2>

NOTE: This document defines

the OpenPegasus 2.11.0 version release with comments added to define

the 2.11.1 revision to that release.  OpenPegasus 2.11.1 is a bug

fix revision to Pegasus 2.11.0. The complete list of changes (total of

32 bugs fixed)  is defined in OpenPegasus bugzilla with the <a href="http://bugzilla.openpegasus.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=2.11.1_APPROVED">2.11.1_APPROVED bugs</a>

query.  We recommend that all uses of 2.11.0 review this list.

OpenPegasus tries to execute only bug fixes for revision releases and

not include enhancements but in exceptional cases including 2.11.1 some

extensions are included (See the Functionality of this Release

section). The OpenPegasus team recommends that users of Pegasus 2.11.0

update to Pegasus 2.11.1 because of of issues defined in a couple of

the bugs below, in particular an api incompatibility defined in bug

9014. Note that in OpenPegasus ALL changes including enhancements are

defined as bugs and committed only when the APPROVED keyword is set so

that the list in the query above defines ALL changes between 2.11.0 and

2.11.1.

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

("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

controlled by the PEGASUS_ENABLE_IPV6 build variable. The default for

variable is "true"; setting this to

this

variable is "true"; setting this to

'false' before building OpenPegasus will disable the IPv6 support.

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

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>

to use series 2.6.x now.

kernel supports IPv6, take a look into your /proc filesystem. The entry

/proc/net/if_inet6 must exist. A short automated test looks like:

in Pegasus bug <a href="http://bugzilla.openpegasus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8773">8773</a>

and there is a patch available for users.  However, since the

change is considered a change to behavior this will not be patched

until pegasus does a major version update. NOTE: There are some

documented bugs in Pegasus such as this that the OpenPegasus team feels

cannot be modified until a major version update.  These bugs are

documented with the Bugzilla tag <big style="font-weight: bold;"><samp>"3.0_TARGET".</samp></big></li>

behavior in the Pegasus repository does not match the DMTF specification.

Under some conditions (ex. if no propertyList is supplied) it modifies

all properties rather than just the properties supplied with the

for more information.</li>

<li>Covered Properties (multiple properties with the same name but different class origin)
