clm: Include boot time and node address in join request message [#2489]
The node join request message now has two new fields: boot time and node
address. This allows us to provide more accurate and correct information in
the
CLM node runtime attributes in the information model:
* The boot time field transmits the node's actual boot time to the CLM
server.
Previously, the node join time was used as an approximation of the node
boot
time, but this might be inaccurate or incorrect. For example, if OpenSAF
was
started much later than the node was booted (e.g. if OpenSAF was restarted
without a node reboot), then the node join time will differ significantly
from
the node boot time.
* The node address field transmits the node address to be presented to the
application through the information model. Previously, the IP address
which
was used by OpenSAF internal communication was presented as the one and
only
node address, and there was no way to select some other address in case
the
node has multiple network addresses. The application now has the
possibility
to select which network address to present in the information model.

** [tickets:#2489] clm: Make it possible to select what address to present in
the CLM node**
**Status:** fixed
**Milestone:** 5.17.10
**Created:** Thu Jun 08, 2017 11:11 AM UTC by Anders Widell
**Last Updated:** Mon Jul 31, 2017 01:11 PM UTC
**Owner:** Anders Widell
A simpler solution for the problem described in ticket [#2479] is to let the
user configure what address CLM shall show in the saClmNodeCurrAddress
attribute. The following use cases will all be covered by this simpler solution:
* OpenSAF is configured to use IP, but the application is using TIPC and needs
to know the TIPC address of the node. Or vice versa.
* Both the application and OpenSAF are configured to use IP, but later on we
wish to re-configure OpenSAF to use TIPC, *without* affecting the application
or exposing this change in the saClmNodeCurrAddress attribute.
* Both the application and OpenSAF are configured to use IP (and the same
network), but later on we wish to introduce a separate IP network dedicated to
OpenSAF internal communication. The application is supposed to continue using
the same IP network as before, and is *not* allowed to use the new network
which is dedicated to OpenSAF internal communication only.
As shown in these use cases, the application is really only interested in
knowing one address for each node. The problem we need to solve is that a node
can have many addresses and we need to be able to select which one to present
through the CLM interface.
