[Linux-ha-dev] anyone would like to build and test CIM providers?

[James Pan]

To build CIM providers with LinuxHA:

1. Download and install the latest sblim-sfcb or OpenWBEM and set up.

2. Configure LinuxHA with:
    --enable-cim-providers --with-cimom=sfcb|openwbem 
--with-cmpi-headers=Path_to_CMPI_Headers 
--with-provider-dir=Path_to_CMPI_Providers

    for sfcb, the Path_to_CMPI_Headers is the sblim-sfcb source 
directory and Path_to_CMPI_Providers is /usr/local/lib/cmpi/ usually.
    for openwbem, the Path_to_CMPI_Headers is /usr/include/openwbem/ and 
Path_to_CMPI_Providers is /usr/lib/openwbem/cmpiproviders usually.
    Of course, the Path_to_CMPI_Providers can be changed by modifying 
their configuration file.

3. make & make install

4. run /usr/lib/heartbeat/cim/register_providers.sh to resiter the 
providers.
    for sfcb, sfcbd must be shutdown before register, for openwbem, 
owcimomd must be start before register.
   Otherwise, register_providers.sh will give a hint and exit.

5. There is a simple test script runtest.sh in cim/tests/. This script 
requires sblim-wbemcli, so you must have sblim-wbemcli installed to run it.
    This script enumerates class instance names, class instances and get 
instances for all classes,
enumerate association instance names, association instances and 
enumerate reference instance names, instances for association class.

   There is also a indication subscription script subscription.sh in 
this directory, just run it and the indication messages will be logged 
into a file if any.
