HP WBEM Services Version A.02.09.10 Release Notes (5900-1767, September 2011)

Table 4 Defects fixed in HP WBEM Services Version A.02.09.xx (continued)
ResolutionDescriptionIdentifier
This defect is fixed in the current release.
The cimauth command and the internal
WBEM data structures are modified to
ensure that the namespace case sensitive
error does not occur.
According to the DMTF standards, the WBEM
namespaces are not case sensitive, but the
cimauth command processes namespaces
as case sensitive.
QXCR1001089629
This defect is fixed in the current release.
A mutex has been added to ensure that
the race condition does not occur.
The StorageNative Provider module
hangs when it is continuously enabled and
disabled for one process, while
EnumerateInstances is running for
StorageNative Provider in another
process. There is a race condition during the
provider shutdown.
QXCR1001103470
This defect is fixed in the current release.
The destruction sequence is modified to
ensure that this defect does not occur.
The Pegaus core dump error occurs when the
StorageNative Provider module is
continuously enabled and disabled in one
process, while EnumerateInstances is
running for StorageNative Provider in
another process. The core dump occurs due to
an incorrect destruction sequence in one of the
cimprovagt objects.
QXCR1001106183
This defect is fixed in the current release.
The destruction sequence has been
modified to ensure that cimprovagt
waits for all provider threads to go down
before sending a success message to
cimservermain.
Multiple instances of the cimprovagt
processes are created for one provider. This
defect occurs when the StorageNative
Provider module is continuously enabled
and disabled in one process, while
EnumerateInstances is running for
StorageNative Provider in another
process. When a 'disable' request is sent to a
provider, it hangs. The cimprovagt process
incorrectly assumes that the provider threads
are down and sends a successfully disabled
message to cimservermain. This causes
cimservermain to start a new cimprovagt
process for a new request.
QXCR1001095699
This defect is fixed in the current release.
The response pointer is ensured to built
in all scenarios.
When disabling a provider module, WBEM
Services core dump occurs. The response
pointer to a client request is accessed before
building a response in certain scenarios, which
results in a core dump.
QXCR1001104350
Defects fixed in A.02.09.06.01
This defect is fixed in the current release.
The wbemassist.cat file is modified
and provided without the “^M” character
so that the correct output is displayed on
the console.
When you set the language to Japanese and
execute wbemassist -h, the output
displayed contains the character “^M”.
QXCR1001113611
Defects fixed in A.02.09.06
This defect is fixed in the current release.
Periodically, outstanding requests for a
provider module are checked to see if
the client is still waiting for the response.
If not, the resources used for this request
are freed up.
The cimserver consumes threads after a
cimprovagt process, hosting a provider
request, hangs. Eventually, cimserver reaches
its process thread limit. This inhibits the
cimserver from processing requests received
from other providers as well.
