<h2><span style="color: black;">Availability of this Release</span></h2> |
|
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE:</span> This document |
|
defines the OpenPegasus 2.12.0 minor version release with |
|
comments added to define the 2.12.1 revision to that minor |
|
release. OpenPegasus 2.12.1 is a bug fix revision to |
|
OpenPegasus 2.12.0. The complete list of changes (total of 12 |
|
bugs fixed) is defined in OpenPegasus bugzilla with the <a |
|
href="http://bugzilla.openpegasus.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=2.12.1_APPROVED">2.12.1_APPROVED |
|
|
|
|
|
bugs</a> query. We recommend that all users of 2.12.0 |
|
review this list. OpenPegasus tries to execute only bug fixes |
|
for revision releases and not include enhancements. The |
|
OpenPegasus team recommends that users of Pegasus 2.12.0 update |
|
to Pegasus 2.12.1. 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.</p> |

<h4><b>Indications</b></h4> |
|
<ul> |
|
<li>Process indications - Process indications are operational in |
|
the |
|
Server. This includes support |
|
for subscriptions, filters, and indication handlers, the provider API |

indications and the CIMXML indication handler.</li> |
|
<li>Lifecycle indications - With the support for embedded objects, |
|
lifecycle indications (ie. those |
|
classes of indications derived from CIM_ClassIndication and |
|
CIM_InstIndication) can now be created. Pegasus 2.5 provides some |
|
enablement for the generation of lifecycle indications. For more |

details, refer to |

|
</ul> |

<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. <br> |
|
</p> | </p> |
<p class="MsoNormal"><br> |
<p>However, since the definition of a standard name for this |

includes a new standalone listener that is separate |
"root/interop" with "interop" being the preferred alternative) |
from the current standalone CIMListener and the ExportServer listener |
the use of "root/PG_InterOp" has become an issue.<br> |
in the CIM server. |
|
The use model that this listener fits is the following: |
|
<ul> |
|
<li><span class="norm"></span> The listener may be packaged as |
|
part of the CIMOM or it may be packaged independently as part of |

<h4>Object Normalization</h4> |
|
The Object Normalizer is an entity introduced in Pegasus 2.4 that |
|
ensures |
|
objects delivered from providers are complete and accurate. Two major |
|
issues were identified with the initial implementation: 1) the Object |
|
Normalizer drops instances it considers bad, and 2) the Object |
|
Normalizer code slows performance. These issues are now addressed by |
|
moving the Object Normalizer from the Dispatcher to the Response |
|
Handler (or equivalent) and optimizing the existing implementation. The |
|
move allows errors to be reported to the provider at the point of |
|
delivery and ensures that only a single copy is made to preserve the |
|
CIMOM/provider boundary.<br> |
|
Two new configuration properties were added to control object |
|
normalization.<br> |
|
<ol> |
|
<li>enableNormalization (true|false) - Enables or disables object |
|
normalization for provider objects.</li> |
|
<li>excludeModulesFromNormalization (colon delimited list of |
|
provider modules) - List the provider modules by name (as specified in |
|
PG_ProviderModule.Name) to exclude from normalization. Keep in mind |
|
that all objects managed by all providers will be excluded from |
|
normalization if its module name appears in this list.<br> |
|
</li> |
|
</ol> |
|
<br> |
|
<h4>Embedded Object support</h4> |
|
Pegasus 2.5 now provides embedded object support. The proposed solution |
|
is restricted to the following:<br> |
|
The only representation for embedded objects supported by this |
|
PEP is CIM-XML. <br> |
|
CIMObject is implemented as a new CIMValue type. This type will be used |
|
internally to represent embedded objects. When externalized (via |
|
CIM-XML) these objects will be converted to strings representing valid |
|
INSTANCE or CLASS elements, in accordance with the CIM Infrastructure |
|
Specification. Embedded instances will also carry the |
|
EmbeddedObject attribute with |
|
the value "object", as specified by CR Interop-00217.001. <br> |

<h4><b>Query Language</b></h4> |
|
<p>The query language today is based on WQL and is implemented and |
|
used for filters and in 2.4 for execQuery. <br> |
|
</p> | </p> |
<p>CQL Stage 1 has been included for Pegasus 2.5. PEPs 138, |
<p>Effective OpenPegasus 2.12.0 a new build variable has been |
193, 205 combine to describe the function submitted.<br> |
defined (PEGASUS_INTEROP_NAMESPACE) which allows an |
|
OpenPegasus builder to define an alternate name for the Interop |
|
namespace to either "interop" or "root/interop" (ex. |
|
PEGASUS_INTEROP_NAMESPACE = interop). Once this build |
|
variable is defined and OpenPegasus compiled, the actual name of |
|
the interop namespace is what was defined in this variable and |
|
all components of OpenPegasus use this as the interop namespace |
|
name include the complete OpenPegasus test suite. The only |
|
name for the interop namespace will be the name defined through |
|
this build variable.<br> |
</p> | </p> |
<h4><b>Schema Repository</b></h4> |
<p>However, today OpenPegasus is committed to the single namespace |
<span class="norm"></span>By default, Pegasus uses an XML-based |
defined at build "(root/PG_InterOp", "interop", or |
schema repository. A binary encoding option is also available.<span |
"root/interop"). However, a number of OpenPegasus |

support is enabled with the slp configuration parameter (slp=true). SLP |
|
support includes an SLP service agent in the Pegasus CIM sever and |

<h4><span class="SpellE"></span></h4> |
|
<span class="SpellE">Pegasus includes an experimental support for |
|
running CMPI providers to be run on remote systems without the need for |
|
an extra CIMOM. It uses a special proxying provider to relay requests |
|
to a remote location using so-called communication layers. The remote |
|
side has to start a CMPIRDaemon process, which accepts remote requests |
|
and passes them on to CMPI style providers.<br> |

|
<h4><span class="SpellE">Server Statistics<br> |
|
</span></h4> |
|
CIM Server statistics, based on the DMTF 'CIM_StatisticalData' class, |
|
are implemented in this release. The statistics gathering is disabled |
|
by default. It may be enabled or disabled by performing a |
|
ModifyInstance operation on the singleton 'CIM_ObjectManager' instance |
|
in the 'PG_InterOp' namespace to set the GatherStatisticalData property |
|
to 'true' or 'false'. This property setting is persistent across CIM |
|
Server restarts. A statistics display test tool, cimperf, is available |
|
from the Pegasus CVS repository. |
|
<h4><br> |
|
<span class="SpellE"></span></h4> |
|
<h4><span class="SpellE">SLP Provider</span></h4> |
|
<p><span class="SpellE">This provider acts as the definer of |
|
SLP information for SLP registration and also controls the Pegasus SLP |
|
Service Agent. It is treated as a normal provider rather than a control |
|
provider because it does not use internal functions of the CIMOM to |
|
generate any of its information today. (conditionally compiled today)<br> |

<h3><span class="SpellE"><b>CIM_Schema</b></span></h3> |
|
<p>The default <span class="SpellE">CIM_Schema</span> loaded with this |
|
release is |
|
the DMTF CIM 2.9, Final release. In addition, Pegasus includes |
|
a number of |
|
local classes defined for Pegasus. These are defined in the |
|
pegasus/Schemas |
|
directory. <span style=""></span>There are also a |
|
number of older schema available in the CVS.</p> |

<p>The mechanism to install other schemas than the default is defined |
|
in the mak/config.mak</p> |

<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). |

<h3><b>Pegasus Interface APIs</b></h3> |
|
<p>Details of the Pegasus public interfaces for this release are listed |
|
in PEP 209 |
|
available from the web <span class="GramE">site(</span><a |
|
href="http://www.openpegasus.org/pp/uploads/40/Administrator/My%20Documents/processes/www.openpegasus.org">www.openpegasus.org</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 |
|
interfaces includes the following major functions</p> |

is a component that can be used to consume indications without a |
|
dependency on the Pegasus CIMOM. In environments where no CIMOM is |

<h3><b>WMI <span class="SpellE">Mapper</span></b></h3> |
|
<p>The WBEM to WMI <span class="SpellE">Mapper</span> provides a way |
|
to access |
|
WMI data from Windows platform systems. It converts incoming XML/CIM |
|
requests |
|
to Microsoft WMI requests, executes the requests, converts the results |
|
to |
|
XML/CIM and returns the results to the client. WMI <span class="SpellE">Mapper</span> |
|
receives an HTTP message containing the XML/CIM request. It decodes the |
|
XML |
|
message and extracts from the HTTP message header the user credentials |
|
provided |
|
on the connection (username and password). The WMI <span class="SpellE">Mapper</span> |
|
authenticates these credentials, verifying if the provided credentials |
|
have |
|
access to the desired WMI data. This is done because the WMI <span |
|
class="SpellE">Mapper</span> runs as a service, logged on using an |
|
account with |
|
administrative rights (which has all access to WMI data). Because of |
|
this, the |
|
WMI <span class="SpellE">Mapper</span> impersonates the user |
|
credentials provided |
|
on the HTTP message to ensure that the calling user has rights to |
|
browse WMI |
|
data. Hence, ALL requests made to the WMI <span class="SpellE">Mapper</span> |
|
MUST |
|
contain user credentials.<br> |

<h4><font color="#000000">IPv6 on Linux</font></h4> |
|
<p>Modern Linux distributions already contain IPv6-ready kernels, |

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 |

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> |

|
<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 |

<h4><font color="#000000">Testing 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 defects/fixes that MAY |
|
impact, even well-behaved, OpenPegasus providers or clients when |
|
upgrading to this OpenPegasus release. <br> |

<p>It is a major goal of the OpenPegasus project to both drive and |
<span class="norm"></span><br> |
utilize the DMTF CIM/WBEM specifications. However, today |
</p> |
there are a number of known differences. As of this |
<table class="MsoNormalTable" style="width: 302.25pt;" border="1" |
release, some of the differences include the following:</p> |
cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" height="409" width="504"> |
<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>Lifecycle 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 |
|

|
<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 incorporated into the code |
|
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> |
|
<li><b>OpenPegasus Interop Namespace</b> - The default interop |
|
namespace name in OpenPegasus is "root/PG_Interop". In |
|
versions of OpenPegasus prior to 2.12.0 this could be changed |
|
during build by modifying a string definition in the code. |
|
Effective version 2.12 this has become a build option |
|
with the build configuration environment variable |
|
PEGASUS_INTEROP_NAMESPACE = <name for this namespace> |
|
however, the default if built without this change is still |
|
"root/PG_InterOp"<br> |
|
</li> |
|
<li><b>OpenPegasus WSMAN protocol on windows does not handle |
|
NaN, INF, or -INF</b> (bug <a |
|
href="http://bugzilla.openpegasus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8836">8836</a>) |
|
- If requests or responses include properties or parameters |
|
with floating point property types (Real32 or Real64) with the |
|
special states NaN, INF, or -INF on a Windows platform, the |
|
input is not accepted because these special strings are not |
|
understood by the decoder on Windows.</li> |
|
<li><b>OpenPegasus outputs Nan, INF, -INF special values for |
|
Real32 and Real64 property and Parameter types for the |
|
CIM/XML protocol</b> - (bug <a |
|
href="http://bugzilla.openpegasus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9392">9392</a>). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Today the DMTF Specification DSP0201 allows only numeric |
|
information in the format definition for this type and does |
|
not all the special strings Nan, etc. However, OpenPegasus |
|
actually outputs the special strings if that is what is |
|
defined in the internal values. OpenPegasus does not |
|
allow these special Strings on input however,</li> |
|
<li><b>OpenPegasus does not handle covered properties</b> - (bug |
|
<a href="http://bugzilla.openpegasus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3571">3571</a>) |
|
Covered properties (properties which have the same name in a |
|
superclass and subclass without overridding the property in |
|
the superclass) are not allowed in OpenPegasus. While the |
|
requirement for this functionality was added to DSP0004 |
|
subsequent to version 2.4, the general agreement is that the |
|
requirement itself is not supportable and particularly not |
|
with the existing OpenPegasus APIs. Further, the |
|
requirement is expected to be removed in the future (i.e CIM |
|
3.0).<br> |

<h2><a name="Conformance with DMTF Specifications">Conformance with |
|
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> | <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> |
|
<li> <b>Indications </b>-Today Pegasus supports process |
|
indications but does not |
|
include any specific support for lifecycle indications.</li> |
|
<li> |
|
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"> </span><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 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> |
|
</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 EnumerateInstances 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.</li> |
|
<li> | <li> |

<p style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"> <font |

|
