I think the only thing you should depend on is the return code. Interpreting the error string is likely to break.
Agreed - verifying the strings has been an upkeep headache. However, a provider can fail for a number of reasons and return the same error code for each one. Unfortunately (in the case anyway), CIM has such a small subset of return codes. So you can't accurately confirm that the test failed for the proper reason. -- Kaitlin Rupert IBM Linux Technology Center kaitlin@linux.vnet.ibm.com
