[Libvirt-cim] Announcement: test suite now available

I'm pleased to announce that our internal test suite has been made public. The tree is available here: http://libvirt.org/hg/cimtest I'm sure that there will be all kinds of brokenness exposed as people try to use it outside of our environment. Please post any issues that you may have. The suite uses pywbem (current svn snapshot required) for the CIM client tasks and ssh to connect to the machine under test to validate against virsh. The cimtest_sshkey.pub file must be added to root's authorized_keys file to enable this. Changes to allow generation of a site ssh key will need to be made to mitigate the obvious risk involved. A sample invocation looks like this: % export CIM_USER=root % export CIM_PASS=password % export CIM_NS=root/virt % ./runtests libvirt-cim -i localhost We will start posting regular test results on various platforms using this soon, which should provide a baseline to compare against. More detail will need to be added to the website, I'm sure, but this should be enough to get people started. Please post issues you have and test results if you can get them! -- Dan Smith IBM Linux Technology Center Open Hypervisor Team email: danms(a)us.ibm.com
