1281 <h3><font color="#000000">Information on IPv6 Support (PEP 291)</font></h3>
1282 <p><b>NOTE:</b> This functionality was incorporated in OpenPegasus 2.7.0 but it
1283 was felt that the information below was worth repeating in subsequent Release
1285 <p style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"><font color="#000000">IPv6 is short for "Internet
1287 Version 6". IPv6 is the "next generation" protocol designed by the IETF
1288 to replace the current version Internet Protocol, IP Version 4
1289 ("IPv4"). IPv6 Support for OpenPegasus is documented in </font> <a href="http://www.openpegasus.org/pp/uploads/40/14222/PEP_291_IPv6.html">
1290 <font color="#3333ff">PEP
1291 291</font></a><font color="#000000">.</font></p>
1292 <p>The IPv6 support in OpenPegasus is
1293 controlled by the PEGASUS_ENABLE_IPV6 build variable. The default for this
1294 variable is "true"; setting this to
1295 'false' before building OpenPegasus will disable the IPv6 support.<br>
1297 <p>The following subsections provide
1298 some information on IPv6 support for the Linux and Windows platforms.
1299 Note that in the 2.6.1 release there is no automatic run-time detection
1300 of IPv6 support on a platform by OpenPegasus. If you build with
1301 PEGASUS_ENABLE_IPV6=true, your platform must support IPv6 or you will
1302 get a build failure (missing header files), a run-time bind() failure,
1303 or possibly some other failure. This applies to both the CIM Server and
1304 Listener components. For more information on IPv6 support for your
1305 specific platform, refer to the documentation for that platform.<br>
1307 <p>All OpenPegasus externals that
1308 support either a hostname or an IP address as input have been updated
1309 to allow an IPv6 address to be specified. If the required input is just
1310 an IP address (eg. no optional or required port number), then the IPv6
1311 address must be specified without brackets. For example, the
1312 OpenPegasus osinfo client (which returns information about the OS
1313 running on a host system) takes separate host and port options. In this
1314 case a host with an IPv6-configured network interface would be
1317 <div style="margin-left: 40px; color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-family: monospace;"><big><font color="#000000">osinfo -h
1318 3ffe:1:2:1 -p 5988</font></big></div>
1319 <p>But the cimcli command, which
1321 an optional "location" option including an optional port number,
1322 requires the IPv6 address to be delimited with brackets, for example:<br>
1324 <div style="margin-left: 40px; font-family: monospace;"><big>cimcli ns -l [3ffe:1:2:1]</big></div>
1326 <div style="margin-left: 40px;"><big><span style="font-family: monospace;">cimcli ns -l [3ffe:1:2:1]:5989</span></big><br>
1329 For more information on
1331 IPv6 addresses, refer to <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2373.txt">IETF RFC 2373 - IP Version
1332 6 Addressing Architecture</a>
1333 and <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2732.txt">IETF RFC 2732 - Format for
1334 Literal IPv6 Addresses in URL's</a>.<br>
1335 <h4><font color="#000000">IPv6 on Linux</font></h4>
1336 <p>Modern Linux distributions already
1337 contain IPv6-ready kernels, the
1338 IPv6 capability is generally compiled as a module, but it's possible
1339 that this module is not loaded automatically on startup.</p>
1340 <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Note:
1341 </span>you shouldn't use kernel series 2.2.x, because it's not
1342 IPv6-up-to-date anymore. Also the IPv6 support in series 2.4.x is no
1343 longer improved according to definitions in latest RFCs. It's recommend
1344 to use series 2.6.x now.<br>
1346 <p>To check whether your current
1348 kernel supports IPv6, take a look into your /proc filesystem. The entry
1349 /proc/net/if_inet6 must exist. A short automated test looks like:<br>
1351 <div style="margin-left: 40px; color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-family: monospace;"><big><font color="#000000">test -f
1352 /proc/net/if_inet6 && echo "Running kernel is IPv6 ready"</font></big></div>
1353 <p>For more information on
1355 IPv6 in the Linux kernel and configuring network interfaces, refer to
1356 <a href="http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Linux+IPv6-HOWTO/">The Linux
1357 Documentation Project's IPv6 HOWTO</a>.<br>
1359 <span style="font-weight: bold;">Warning</span>:
1360 There is currently an open issue with RedHat to address a problem that
1361 is seen intermittently on RHEL5 and SLES10 systems. This problem is
1362 described in <span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">

1371 that OpenPegasus with IPv6 enabled may be significantly impacted in these

1382 <div style="margin-left: 40px; color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-family: monospace;"><big><font color="#000000">ipv6 install<br>
1383 ipv6 if</font></big></div>
1385 and Windows Server 2008 support an integrated
1386 IPv4 and IPv6 implementation known as the Next Generation TCP/IP stack.
1387 Note that the OpenPegasus IPv6 support has not yet been tested
1388 on Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008.<br>

1411 <h2><a name="Compatibility_Considerations_">Compatibility Considerations</a></h2>
1412 <p>Support for forward-compatibility is a fundamental design principle for the
1413 OpenPegasus project. As a Community, our goal is for well-behaved OpenPegasus
1414 Providers or Clients, using only the externally defined OpenPegasus interface,
1415 to continue to work with a minor version upgrade of OpenPegasus. However, there
1416 are certain classes of errors (e.g., non-compliance with a standard that
1417 significantly affects interoperability) that may require the Community to make
1418 potentially incompatible changes. The following table contains a list of defect
1419 fixes that MAY impact, even well-behaved, OpenPegasus Providers or Clients when
1420 upgrading to this OpenPegasus release.</p><p> </p>

1491 <h2><a name="Conformance with DMTF Specifications">Conformance
1493 DMTF Specifications</a></h2>
1494 <p>It is a major goal
1495 of the OpenPegasus project to both drive and utilize the DMTF CIM/WBEM
1496 specifications. However, today there are a number of known
1498 As of this release, some of the differences include the following:</p>
1500 <li><b>Provider Registration</b> - Pegasus supports registration
1501 through a set of Pegasus Provider registration classes rather than
1502 support the DMTF defined Provider Qualifier. Pegasus will not support
1503 this qualifier in the future. See the readme for more information on
1504 provider registration. This is not a deviation from the
1505 specifications but is a different method of registration than many CIM
1506 Servers and means that the the provider qualifier is unused in Pegasus.</li>
1507 <li><b>Indications </b>-Today Pegasus supports process
1508 indications and lifecycle indications when defined specifically by
1509 providers. Pegasus does not support lifecycle indications if they are
1510 not defined by the provider or for changes to CIM Classes.<font color="#ff0000"> </font><span class="norm"><font color="#ff0000"> </font>For
1511 more information see the Pegasus CVS file:<a name="comtag_137"><font size="2">
1512 </font><font face="Courier New" size="2"> pegasus/src/Unsupported/LifecycleIndicationProvider/README.LifecycleIndications.htm</font></a><font size="2">.</font></span></li>
1514 <p class="MsoNormal"><font style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">IncludeQualifiers
1515 option on Instance Operations</font><span style="color: black;"><b> </b>
1517 The DMTF specifications have deprecated the use of qualifiers on
1518 instance operations with the 1.2 CIM Operations Specification and
1519 stated specifically that the client should NOT depend on the
1520 includeQualifiers parameter of the CIM/XML instance operations
1521 returning qualifiers.
1522 Some CIM Client implementations expect instances
1524 from the CIM Server to include the qualifiers defined in the class
1525 definition (such as KEY qualifiers on properties). </span> Pegasus
1526 today expects the provider to complete the qualifiers on instances in
1527 accordance with the specification and generally the interpretation is
1528 that Pegasus applies class level qualifiers when the includeInstance
1529 parameter is supplied on instance operations. However, Pegasus
1530 today is inconsistent in the return of qualifiers so that the user
1531 should NOT depend on Pegasus accurately honoring the includeQualifier
1532 parameter for instance operations. In the future it is expected
1533 that Pegasus will deprecate the use of qualifiers on instance
1534 operations completely. When Pegasus uses object normalization,
1535 the normalizer does apply qualifiers to returned instances if the
1536 includeQualifiers operation parameter is set.</p></li><li><b>LocalOnly option on instance
1537 Operations </b>- With the 1.1 version of Specification for CIM
1538 Operations over HTTP, the definition of the LocalOnly parameter for the
1539 GetInstance and Enumerate Instances operations was modified. This change
1540 was incorrect, resulted in reduced functionality and introduced a
1541 number of backward compatibility issues. As a result of issues
1542 introduced by this change, we strongly recommend that CIM Clients set
1543 LocalOnly = false and do not rely on the use of this parameter to
1544 filter the set of set of properties returned. See Appendix C of this
1545 specification for more information.</li>
1547 <p class="MsoNormal"><b>MultiRequest Operations</b> - Pegasus
1548 does not support the DMTF defined MultiRequest Operation option.</p>
1551 <p class="MsoNormal"><b>MOF Compiler namespace pragma</b> - The
1552 Pegasus compiler does not support the namespace pragma.</p>
1554 <li><b>CIMOperation Trailer </b>- Pegasus implements
1556 based on the DSP0200 1.2.0 preliminary spec. including the operation trailer
1557 defined in that specification Refer to bug
1558 <a href="http://cvs.opengroup.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6760">6760</a> for more details.
1559 This trailer was completely removed from the DSP0200 1.2 final specification
1560 as a non-compatible change so that if chunking is used Pegasus is returning
1561 a noncompliant response to enumerate type requests. <br>
1564 <h2><b><span style="font-family: Times;">OpenPegasus <a name="Supported Platforms">Supported
1565 Platforms</a></span></b></h2>
1566 <p align="left">Each OpenPegasus release lists as 'active' platforms those
1567 hardware/software platforms that have recognized ports for the Pegasus code base
1568 including a maintainer for the platform that will be willing to regularly
1569 document issues and/or fix defects as the Pegasus code base is changed.
1570 Pegasus may be operable on other platforms (ex. Windows 98) but without a group
1571 to provide the role of test and maintenance, correct operation of Pegasus
1572 cannot be assured. In all cases, including the active platforms, it is the
1573 responsibility of the entity that packages and/or compiles OpenPegasus for
1574 shipment or deployment, to read, and actively monitor the Pegasus bugzilla
1575 database for a list of relevant defects that affect their platform.
1576 The platforms that are considered ported are shown in the two tables below.
1577 The first table represents platform sofr which testing is done on a regular
1578 basis and reported to the Pegasus Nightly Build Test WEB Page. Those platforms
1579 which have been ported but do not have test results that are current at the time
