CIM/WBEM packages (SBLIM) - call to advocate
Ancoron, are you aware of the existence of other CIM providers in Karmic called OpenDRIM ? Regards -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Guillaume, I didn't realize that they made it into Karmic, but I just saw them right after I wrote my mail. Sorry that I forgot them. But the problem remains the same that there are just too few providers. Just providing a very basic set isn't enough to compete with the other distributions and as the OpenDRIM providers also depend on SFCB it shouldn't matter which provider set we provide as long as the enterprise users get what they need/want. Also I could additionally start to package the other OpenDRIM providers if that is officially preferred but I stuck to the SBLIM implementation until now because SFCB is available since Intrepid and their providers are confirmed to work and at least bug reports are available and bugs get fixed by upstream devs rather quickly. In addition it is nice that there's an alternative. Alternatives are always a good thing. However as OpenDRIM is a rather new project (compared to SBLIM) I think SBLIM providers should be preferred for now in terms of security and stability. I also miss some upstream documentation about the matching management profiles of the providers and the providers doesn't even have a ChangeLog file to track upstream changes automatically. This is true for some of the newer providers from SBLIM too but at least they made it into a variety of distributions including RedHat and Suse for years so I would consider them rather stable. What do you think? The work I have done until now and the time I spent shouldn't be wasted. In my PPA I have the following additional providers: sblim-cmpi-service sblim-cmpi-smbios sblim-cmpi-sysfs Others are coming soon. As I have a lot of spare time in the next weeks I would really like to concentrate on packaging to get the last bits in the right place. I will take a closer look at the OpenDRIM providers and see how they work. If we focus on OpenDRIM we should also take another CIM broker as it doesn't make sense to provide nice GPL'ed providers when there is no GPL'ed broker available.

If a list of the schemas and profiles supported by existing management tools could be created, it would be very helpful in choosing which providers to include (or start developing) in Ubuntu. Well, I did some research to find out what those management tools but couldn't find any specific documentation about that but on the other hand I found some docs describing the profiles that are provided from the various implementations: Sun ILOM - - - DSP1004 - Base Server Profile - - DSP1009 - Sensors Profile - - DSP1010 - Record Log Profile - - DSP1011 - Physical Asset Profile - - DSP1018 - Service Processor Profile - - DSP1022 - CPU Profile - - DSP1026 - System Memory Profile - - DSP1033 - Profile Registration - - DSP1074 - Indicator LED Profile Reference: http://docs.sun.com/source/820-6413-11/WS_MAN_CIM.html#50647112_53720 IBM System z Hardware Management Console - - - DSP1004 - Base Server Profile - - DSP1011 - Physical Asset Profile - - DSP1012 - Boot Control Profile - - DSP1018 - Service Processor Profile - - DSP1023 - Software Inventory Profile - - DSP1042 - System Virtualization Profile - - DSP1057 - Virtual System Profile Reference: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg2633d0c87855f6a2d852573f700527ecb HP Insight Management - - - - DSP1004 - Base Server Profile (specialized) - - DSP1009 - Sensors Profile - - DSP1010 - Record Log Profile - - DSP1011 - Physical Asset Profile - - DSP1013 - Fan Profile - - DSP1014 - Ethernet Port Profile (specialized) - - DSP1015 - Power Supply Profile - - DSP1022 - CPU Profile - - DSP1023 - Software Inventory Profile - - DSP1026 - System Memory Profile - - DSP1027 - Power State Management Profile - - DSP1029 - OS Status Profile 1.0 - - DSP1033 - Profile Registration - - DSP1035 - Host LAN Network Port Profile - - DSP1036 - IP Interface Profile - - DSP1040 - Platform Watchdog Profile - - DSP1052 - Computer System Profile - - DSP1075 - PCI Device Profile Reference: http://h2.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01382288/c01382288.pdf Although this is regarding Windows servers there are separate docs about the Linux providers HP offers: http://docs.hp.com/en/linuxredhat.html#HP%20Integrity%20Essentials%20Foundation%20Pack%20for%20Linux According to this document: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/sblim/index.php?title=SFCB,_How_low_can_you_go#Components.2C_versions_and_test_environment And according to the most common providers (I think the most common ones must be the ones most needed/wanted) I suggest a list of profiles for required implementation: - - DSP1004 - Base Server Profile - - DSP1009 - Sensors Profile - - DSP1010 - Record Log Profile - - DSP1011 - Physical Asset Profile - - DSP1013 - Fan Profile - - DSP1015 - Power Supply Profile - - DSP1022 - CPU Profile - - DSP1023 - Software Inventory Profile - - DSP1026 - System Memory Profile - - DSP1033 - Profile Registration - - DSP1052 - Computer System Profile When I take that and compare it to our choices of implementations so far (SBLIM, OpenDRIM) we have the following situation: None of the SBLIM providers comply completely to any management profile as far as I can see in the code. However, at least parts of the following profiles are implemented (either released or unreleased provider code): - - DSP1002 - Diagnostics Profile - - DSP1004 - Base Server Profile - - DSP1010 - Record Log Profile - - DSP1011 - Physical Asset Profile - - DSP1012 - Boot Control Profile - - DSP1014 - Ethernet Port Profile - - DSP1016 - Telnet Service Profile - - DSP1017 - SSH Service Profile - - DSP1022 - CPU Profile - - DSP1023 - Software Inventory Profile - - DSP1026 - System Memory Profile - - DSP1033 - Profile Registration - - DSP1035 - Host LAN Network Port Profile - - DSP1036 - IP Interface Profile - - DSP1039 - Role Based Authorization Profile - - DSP1052 - Computer System Profile - - DSP1053 - Base Metrics Profile - - DSP1054 - Indications Profile - - DSP1061 - BIOS Management Profile - - DSP1075 - PCI Device Profile - - DSP1080 - Enabled Logical Element Profile The OpenDRIM providers seem to be a lot better here. They seem well designed in terms of profile compliance. The following profiles seem completely implemented: - - DSP1002 - Diagnostics Profile - - DSP1004 - Base Server Profile - - DSP1010 -

xserver-xorg-input-acecad documentation?
Hi,After trying anything I could think of to configure my Acecad USB Tablet to behave differently than default with the xserver-xorg-input-acecad driver, I am stuck... The man page does not tell me anything. Is there any documentation about the parameters available for acecad_drv.so that I can use in either xorg.conf or /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-acecad.fdi ?Or is there anybody I can ask? On the ubuntuforums I did get help from Favux but without the desired result.Willing to write a public how-to on it so if anyone has good info, THANKS!Regards,Allard van Hagen (RavanH)-- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/-- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
