> 
> Project Description
> 
> The OpenPegasus CIM Server Project will integrate the
> OpenPegasus codebase into 
> OpenSolaris, providing modern SMI-S services for
> Solaris, with updates to the 
> supported JDK, CIM Schema and CIM/XML version, and
> use of a standardized 
> Provider API. This new CIM server will co-exist with
> existing WBEM Services on 
> Solaris, posing no disruption to that service, but
> providing up-to-date WBEM 
> support and acting as a migration/upgrade path for
> the existing clients and 
> providers to use that modernized support. This
> co-location of separate WBEM 
> products will be accomplished via clearly defined
> ownership of standard and 
> non-standard ports for each service.
> 
> Additional efforts beyond the scope of this project
> will likely be needed to 
> address removal of the legacy WBEM service from
> OpenSolaris. Meanwhile, the 
> proposed port configuration strategy will support the
> needs of any WBEM clients 
> and providers.
> 
> Distribution on OpenSolaris will be binary only, with
> pointers back to the 
> OpenPegasus community for access to the source. We
> are working closely with 
> that community, with agreement that the source code
> will always live in their 
> repository.
> 
> The following components are included that are
> essentially equivalent to the 
> corresponding component in the existing Solaris WBEM
> services:
> 
> * Common Information Model Object Manager (CIM
> Object Manager, aka CIMOM)
>      * CIM Repository
> * MOF compiler
>      * Client APIs
> * Provider APIs
>      * Sample source code
> following components are included in addition to
> existing Solaris WBEM 
> components:
> 
> * Indications API - provides supports for
>  generation of, subscription to 
> nd processing of events in the managed system
> * Security infrastructure - authentication,
>  authorization and 
> onfidentiality/integrity support, including SSL and
> PAM
> * SLP - support for automatic discovery of
>  managed resources using the SLP 
> tandard
> * Operating System provider - supports generic
>  information such as 
> perating system type, version, last boot-up time,
> local date and time, number 
> of users, swap space size, and free physical memory
> * Basic operating system client - exercises the
>  infrastructure by querying 
> or general information as provided by the OS
> provider, et. al.
> * Computer System provider - supports computer
>  system information such as 
> omputer name, status, and administrator contact
> information
> * Process Providers - support basic UNIX process
>  information, such as name 
> f the executable image, process ID, priority,
> execution state, and various 
> process resource utilization statistics. Client
> applications can use these 
> Providers to give clients an understanding of the
> processes running on the 
> Managed System within the context of its operating
> system.
