We could conceivably add those into places where we need a more information about a particular failure case. Also, if we're not expecting an error, we should be sure to FAIL if the return is not CMPI_RC_OK, and then try to resolve the error code/message to a specific case if possible. -- Dan Smith IBM Linux Technology Center Open Hypervisor Team email: danms@us.ibm.com
