WBEM Provider Data Sheet

VPar Provider

This data sheet provides basic information about the VPar WBEM provider. This

provider is implemented using the Pegasus C++ provider API. The intended audience

of this document is client/provider developers and end-users who want to use this

provider. This data sheet was last updated: 04-February 2005.

 Description:

The VPar provider will provide the information about virtual

partitions on a system. It is a read only provider and thus will not

allow the client to modify the virtual partitions configurations. The

VPar provider always gets the data from default virtual partitions

database located at /stand/vpdb.

The VPar provider talks to the nPar provider for getting information

for HPUX_VParIOLocation and HPUX_IOAssignment. It also talks to the

nPar provider to determine whether or not it is running on an nPar.

If the nPar provider is down then it will not provide this

information.

The VPar provider classes would be placed in the namespace

root/cimv2/vpar.

 Requirements:

The VPar provider is implemented and tested on HP-UX 11i v1 (11.11)

and HP-UX 11i v2 (11.23).

 Release History:

This is the first release of VPar provider.

 Supported Managed Resources:

The VPar provider supports the same hardware that the vPars product

supports.

.Setting up this provider  Installing This Provider The bundle name for VPar provider is vparprovider. The shared library for VPar provider will be installed at, /opt/vparprovider/lib/libHPVParProvider.1. A symbolic link to this library will be created at /opt/wbem/providers/lib (libHPVParProvider.sl for PA platform and libHPVParProvider.so for IPF platform). The VPar provider root/cimv2/vpar. is registered to support the namespace 3.

Table 2. HPUX_VParIOLocation This class provides a mapping between the IO hardware paths and the IO slot IDs. This data is only available when the virtual partitions are running on a nPartition and when the vPar monitor is running. The table lists the properties of this class.

string Address Local string IOPaths[] Local uint8 CellID Local array. This is the same as the Tag field in the IO Tree provider. The IO hardware paths associated with this IO Slot. The hardware path contains periods (.) instead of the normal slashes (/). The global cell number, which is unique in a complex. Table 3. HPUX_VParLocalPartition The table describes the properties of HPUX_VParLocalPartition class, which provides the key to the local virtual partition.
PAGE 5
datetime MessageTimestamp Local uint8 Type Local string Message Local Time stamp for each message is not known. The value of this key will be always 0. Defines type of the log. Values are: Unknown (0), INFO (1), WARNING (2), ERROR (3). There is no structure to this message and thus the message is not parse-able. Table 5. HPUX_VParMessageLog The table lists the properties of HPUX_VParMessageLog class. This class provides information about the virtual partition log.

PAGE 7
uint16 CharacterSet CIM_MessageLog string Name Local An enumeration describing the character set used to record data in the individual Log entries. For example, the Log records may contain ASCII data (value=2), or be raw octet strings (value=10). The name will be the same as the CreationClassName key of HPUX_VParIOLocation class. Table 6. HPUX_VParMonitor Lists the properties of HPUX_VParMonitor class.
