4.174. sblim
Updated sblim packages that fix multiple bugs and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Standards-Based Linux Instrumentation for Manageability (SBLIM) consists of a set of standards-based, Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) modules that use the Common Information Model (CIM) standard to gather and provide systems management information, events, and methods to local or networked consumers via an CIM object services broker using the CMPI (Common Manageability Programming Interface) standard. This package provides a set of core providers and development tools for systems management applications.
Bug Fixes
- BZ#711423
- The sblim-gather-provider package is DSP1053 compliant and advertises this via the Linux_MetricRegisteredProfile class under the root/interop namespace. Prior to this update, the registration of this class and provider was missing, preventing communication with the class via CIM object managers. With this update, the Linux_MetricRegisteredProfile class provider is properly registered under the root/interop namespace.
- BZ#711193
- Previously, CIM Metrics providers specific to IBM System z in the sblim-gather package were patched to workaround a bug in the 2.0.0 sysfs library. (The 2.0.0 sysfs library re-write inadvertently left out several API functions, including one -- open_device_tree -- the SBLIM Data Gatherer was dependent on.) Between the previous fence-agents release and this update, the sysfs library was updated to version 2.1.0 and that update restored the missing API interfaces, including open_device_tree. The patch which allowed sblim-gather-provider to work with sysfs library 2.0.0 does not work with 2.1.0, however. This update removes this patch, ensuring the CIM Metrics providers use the restored sysfs library APIs and providing full functionality, as expected.
