Re: [Libvirt-cim] How does libvirt-CIM
Medlyn, Dayne (VSL - Ft Collins) wrote:
The web page advertises that libvirt-CIM is based on the CIM 2.16
schema. As we look at the latest libvirt-CIM in the HG repository there are a number of
classes that are not in the 2.16 schema but show up in later schemas (2.19.1 and 2.20
experimental), for example CIM_VirtualSystemMigrationCapabilities class. Can you help me
understand what the strategy is relative to the use/implementation of classes not part of
the 2.16 schema but now part of current schema? Are there plans to re-base to a newer
version of the CIM schema?
Thanks.

Hi Dayne,
We added these classes before the classes were available in an official
schema. At the time, we wanted to add migration support, but the classes
weren't available yet.
The schema version we are using is quite dated. We are planning to
update sometime this year. When we make the jump to a more relevant
schema version, these re-implemented classes will be replaced by the
official versions.
