Apologies for the string of emails ... logging stuff as I hit it:
- The XML example above shows name, uri and description for each capability
added. After applying the patches, I see the name and uri but no description
... json output is copied below - see empty decsription:
{"id":"http://qeblade39.rhq.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com:3001/cimi/resource_metadata","count":1,"resourceMetadata":[{"id":"http://qeblade39.rhq.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com:3001/cimi/resource_metadata/machine","name":"Machine","typeUri":"http://qeblade39.rhq.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com:3001/cimi/machines","capabilities":[{"name":"DefaultInitialState","uri":"http://schemas.dmtf.org/cimi/1/capability/Machine/DefaultInitialState","description":[],"values":[{"value":"STARTED"}]},{"name":"DefaultInitialState","uri":"http://schemas.dmtf.org/cimi/1/capability/Machine/DefaultInitialState","description":[],"values":[{"value":"STARTED"},{"value":"STOPPED"}]}]}],"resourceURI":"http://schemas.dmtf.org/cimi/1/ResourceMetadataCollection"}
- When creating a new machine, where in the POST command would I specify the
desired initial state?
