1165 page shows the Pegasus users and developers the status of the various
1166 features found in Pegasus using a simple color coded key (white, red,
1167 yellow, green) and a description of each feature.
1168 <p><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">Pegasus 2.6.1 is a "point"
1169 release, extending Pegasus 2.6 in
1170 selected areas. Normally an OpenPegasus "point" release does not
1171 contain major new pieces of functionality, but in this case one new PEP
1172 was added for IPv6 support, the description of which has been added to
1173 these Release Notes.</span><br>
1175 <p>The major areas of development for this release were as
1176 follows. For more information access the documented PEP:</p>

1205 <p>Finally, a significant number of internal changes and corrections
1206 were made under the control of the Pegasus bugzilla bug system. See the
1207 bug section below for more information.<br>
1209 <h3 style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">IPv6 Support<br>
1211 <p style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">IPv6 is short for "Internet
1213 Version 6". IPv6 is the "next generation" protocol designed by the IETF
1214 to replace the current version Internet Protocol, IP Version 4
1215 ("IPv4"). IPv6 Support for OpenPegasus is documented in <a
1216 href="http://www.openpegasus.org/pp/uploads/40/14222/PEP_291_IPv6.html">PEP
1219 <p style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">The IPv6 support in OpenPegasus is
1220 controlled by the PEGASUS_ENABLE_IPV6 build variable. Setting this to
1221 'true' before building OpenPegasus will enable the IPv6 support. In
1222 2.6.1 this variable will default to 'false' to omit the IPv6 support.<br>
1224 <p style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">The following subsections provide
1225 some information on IPv6 support for the Linux and Windows platforms.
1226 Note that in the 2.6.1 release there is no automatic run-time detection
1227 of IPv6 support on a platform by OpenPegasus. If you build with
1228 PEGASUS_ENABLE_IPV6=true, your platform must support IPv6 or you will
1229 get a build failure (missing header files), a run-time bind() failure,
1230 or possibly some other failure. This applies to both the CIM Server and
1231 Listener components. For more information on IPv6 support for your
1232 specific platform, refer to the documentation for that platform.<br>
1234 <p style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">All OpenPegasus externals that
1235 support either a hostname or an IP address as input have been updated
1236 to allow an IPv6 address to be specified. If the required input is just
1237 an IP address (eg. no optional or required port number), then the IPv6
1238 address must be specified without brackets. For example, the
1239 OpenPegasus osinfo client (which returns information about the OS
1240 running on a host system) takes separate host and port options. In this
1241 case a host with an IPv6-configured network interface would be
1244 <div style="margin-left: 40px; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">osinfo -h
1245 3ffe:1:2:1 -p 5988<br>
1247 <p style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">But the cimcli command, which
1249 an optional "location" option including an optional port number,
1250 requires the IPv6 address to be delimited with brackets, for example:<br>
1252 <div style="margin-left: 40px; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">cimcli ns -l
1254 <p style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">or<br>
1256 <div style="margin-left: 40px; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">cimcli ns -l
1257 [3ffe:1:2:1]:5989<br>
1259 <br style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">

1270 <h4 style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">IPv6 on Linux<br>
1272 <p style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">Modern Linux distributions already
1273 contain IPv6-ready kernels, the
1274 IPv6 capability is generally compiled as a module, but it's possible
1275 that this module is not loaded automatically on startup.</p>
1276 <p style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">Note:
1277 you shouldn't anymore use kernel series 2.2.x, because it's not
1278 IPv6-up-to-date anymore. Also the IPv6 support in series 2.4.x is no
1279 longer improved according to definitions in latest RFCs. It's recommend
1280 to use series 2.6.x now.<br>
1282 <p style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">To check whether your current
1284 kernel supports IPv6, take a look into your /proc filesystem. The entry
1285 /proc/net/if_inet6 must exist. A short automated test looks like:<br>
1287 <div style="margin-left: 40px; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">test -f

1406 <h2><a name="Conformance with DMTF Specifications">Conformance
1408 DMTF Specifications</a></h2>
1409 <p>It is a major goal
1410 of the OpenPegasus project to both drive and utilize the DMTF CIM/WBEM
1411 specifications. However, today there are a number of known
1413 As of this release, some of the differences include the following:</p>
1415 <li><b>Provider Registration</b> - Pegasus supports registration
1416 through a set of Pegasus Provider registration classes rather than
1417 support the DMTF defined Provider Qualifier. Pegasus will not support
1418 this qualifier in the future. See the readme for more information on
1419 provider registration. This is not a deviation from the
1420 specifications but is a different method of registration than many CIM
1421 Servers and means that the the provider qualifier is unused in Pegasus.</li>
1422 <li> <b>Indications </b>-Today Pegasus supports process
1423 indications and lifecycle indications when defined specifically by
1424 providers. Pegasus does not support lifecycle indications if they are
1425 not defined by the provider or for changes to CIM Classes.<font
1426 color="#ff0000"> </font><span class="norm"> <font color="#ff0000"> </font>For
1427 more information see the Pegasus CVS file <a name="comtag_137"> <font
1428 face="Courier New">pegasus/src/Unsupported/LifecycleIndicationProvider/README.LifecycleIndications.htm</font></a>.</span></li>
1430 <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"> </span><font
1431 style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">IncludeQualifiers
1432 option on Instance Operations</font><span style="color: black;"><b> </b>
1434 The DMTF specifications have deprecated the use of qualifiers on
1435 instance operations with the 1.2 CIM Operations Specification.
1436 Some CIM Client implementations expect instances
1438 from the CIM Server to include the qualifiers defined in the class
1439 definition (such as KEY qualifiers on properties). </span> Pegasus
1440 today expects the provider to complete the qualifiers on instances in
1441 accordance with the specification and generally the interpretation is
1442 that Pegasus applies class level qualifiers when the includeInstance
1443 parameter is supplied on instance operations. However, Pegasus
1444 today is inconsistent in the return of qualifiers so that the user
1445 should NOT depend on Pegasus accurately honoring the includeQualifier
1446 parameter for instance operations. In the future it is expected
1447 that Pegasus will deprecate the use of qualifiers on instance
1448 operations completely.<font color="#ff0000"> </font></p>
1450 <li><b>LocalOnly option on instance
1451 Operations </b>- With the 1.1 version of Specification for CIM
1452 Operations over HTTP, the definition of the LocalOnly parameter for the
1453 GetInstance and EnumerateInstances operations was modified. This change
1454 was incorrect, resulted in reduced functionality and introduced a
1455 number of backward compatibility issues. As a result of issues
1456 introduced by this change, we strongly recommend that CIM Clients set
1457 LocalOnly = false and do not rely on the use of this parameter to
1458 filter the set of set of properties returned. See Appendix C of this
1459 specification for more information.</li>
1461 <p class="MsoNormal"><b>MultiRequest Oprations</b> - Pegasus
1462 does not support the DMTF defined MultiRequest Operation option.</p>
1465 <p class="MsoNormal"><b>MOFCompiler namespace pragma</b> - The
1466 Pegasus compiler does not support the namespace pragma.</p>
