<p>Finally, a significant number of internal changes and corrections |

<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 subsequent |
|
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 |

<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>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-family: monospace;"><big><font |
|
color="#000000">osinfo -h |
|
3ffe:1:2:1 -p 5988</font></big></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; font-family: monospace;"><big>cimcli ns |
|
-l [3ffe:1:2:1]</big></div> |
|
<p>or</p> |
|
<div style="margin-left: 40px;"><big><span |
|
style="font-family: monospace;">cimcli ns -l [3ffe:1:2:1]:5989</span></big><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 |
|

|
and <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2732.txt">IETF RFC 2732 - |
|

|
<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><span style="font-weight: bold;">Note: |
|
</span>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.<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-family: monospace;"><big><font |
|
color="#000000">test -f |
|
/proc/net/if_inet6 && echo "Running kernel is IPv6 ready"</font></big></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> |

<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 style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"> |

</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-family: monospace;"><big><font |
|
color="#000000">ipv6 install<br> |
|
ipv6 if</font></big></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> |
|
<div style="margin-left: 40px;"><br> |
|
<big style="font-family: monospace;"> osinfo -h ::1</big></div> |
|
<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 this OpenPegasus release.</p> |

<h2><a name="Conformance with DMTF Specifications">Conformance |
|
Exceptions to |
|
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. 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 |
|
size="2"> </font><font face="Courier New" size="2"> pegasus/src/Unsupported/LifecycleIndicationProvider/README.LifecycleIndications.htm</font></a><font |
|

|
<li> |
|
<p class="MsoNormal"><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 have deprecated the use of qualifiers on |
|
instance operations with the 1.2 CIM Operations Specification and |
|
stated specifically that the client should NOT depend on the |
|
includeQualifiers parameter of the CIM/XML instance operations |
|
returning qualifiers. |
|
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. When Pegasus uses object normalization, |
|
the normalizer does apply qualifiers to returned instances if the |
|
includeQualifiers operation parameter is set.</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 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> |
|
<li> |
|
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>MultiRequest Operations</b> - Pegasus |
|
does not support the DMTF defined MultiRequest Operation option.</p> |
|
</li> |
|
<li> |
|
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>MOF Compiler namespace pragma</b> - The |
|
Pegasus compiler does not support the namespace pragma.</p> |
|
</li> |
|
<li><b>CIMOperation Trailer </b>- Pegasus implements |
|
chunking |
|
based on the DSP0200 1.2.0 preliminary spec. including the operation |
|
trailer defined in that specification Refer to bug <a |
|
href="http://cvs.opengroup.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6760">6760</a> |
|
for more details. 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. </li> |
|
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Whitespace in XML value Element</span> |
|
- Pegasus trims the leading and trailing whitespace from XML value |
|
elements that are of the Type String. This behavior is documented |
|
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> |
|
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">modifyInstance operation |
|
behavior in the Pegasus repository does not match the DMTF specification</span>. |
|
Under some conditions (ex. if no propertyList is supplied) it modifies |
|
all properties rather than just the properties supplied with the |
|
request thereby Nulling out existing values. See bug <a |
|
href="http://bugzilla.openpegasus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8752">8752</a> |
|
for more information.</li> |

<h2><b><span style="font-family: Times;">OpenPegasus <a |
|
name="Supported Platforms">Supported |
|
Platforms</a></span></b></h2> |
|
<p align="left">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 |
|
cannot be assured. In all cases, including the active platforms, |
|
it is the |
|
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 |

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

CVS tree are documented through bugs. Bugs reports are 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 |

(PEPs) that serve both as the definition and review mechanism for new |
|
and |
|
modified Pegasus functionality and for the definition and documentation |
|
of releases.</p> |
