But one particular error message given below is worrying me.
Parsing error: parse error: Error adding class Xen_HostedResourcePool to the repository: CIM_ERR_INVALID_SUPERCLASS: CIM_HostedResourcePool
I wasn't able to reproduce this problem using a clean tree and clean Pegasus repository. Sounds like the CIM_HostedResourcePool and Xen_HostedResourcePool classes might not have been added to your repository. You can verify with the following commands: To check the root/virt namespace: wbemcli ecn http://localhost/root/virt:CIM_HostedResourcePool wbemcli ecn http://localhost/root/virt:Xen_HostedResourcePool To check the root/cimv2 namespace: wbemcli ecn http://localhost/root/cimv2:CIM_HostedResourcePool wbemcli ecn http://localhost/root/cimv2:Xen_HostedResourcePool If the class isn't found (should look like the output below), you can try running the following: 1) make preuninstall 2) make preinstall 3) Restart the CIMOM 4) make postinstall Let us know if the problem persists. Also, let us know which CIMOM you are using. I tested with Pegasus 2.7.2-2 on an Fedora 10 system. ----- $ wbemcli ecn http://localhost/root/cimv2:CIM_HostedResourcePool localhost:5988/root/cimv2:Xen_HostedResourcePool localhost:5988/root/cimv2:KVM_HostedResourcePool localhost:5988/root/cimv2:LXC_HostedResourcePool
The complete output from the 'make postinstall' command is attached.
Please advise on whether these error messages needs to be looked into or could be safely ignored.
Warning: the instance already exists. In this implementation, that means it cannot be changed. These message can be ignored. You're correct, this is because make postinstall was run several times. It means that some of the providers are already registered properly. ---------- Parsing error: parse error: Error adding class Virt_VirtualSystemSnapshotService to the repository: CIM_ERR_CLASS_HAS_CHILDREN: Virt_VirtualSystemSnapshotService This means the class is already present in the repository. You can verify using: $ wbemcli ecn http://localhost/root/virt:Virt_VirtualSystemSnapshotService localhost:5988/root/virt:KVM_VirtualSystemSnapshotService localhost:5988/root/virt:Xen_VirtualSystemSnapshotService localhost:5988/root/virt:LXC_VirtualSystemSnapshotService ----------- Parsing error: parse error: Error adding class CIM_VirtualSystemMigrationService to the repository: CIM_ERR_CLASS_HAS_CHILDREN: CIM_VirtualSystemMigrationService Same issue here.
Also, the README contained in the source tar.gz files found at ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/CIM/ seems to be outdated, e.g. it didn't mention about the make preinstall step. May be README could just give a link to the wiki page which seems to be current.
Sounds like the README is out of date. I'll update this information. Thanks! -- Kaitlin Rupert IBM Linux Technology Center kaitlin@linux.vnet.ibm.com
