My apologies for not responding to this on Friday.
I'd do the following:
1) HostSystem: 01_enum.py - Enum Linux_ComputerSystem - if this call returns an instance, then the enum of HostSystem shouldn't return any instances. Otherwise, you should get back a HostSystem instance.
Which namespace does Linux_ComputerSystem live in? The enum of Linux_ComputerSystem return NULL:
[root@elm** ~]# wbemcli ein http://root:password@localhost/root/virt:Linux_ComputerSystem * * wbemcli: Cim: (5) CIM_ERR_INVALID_CLASS: Linux_ComputerSystem *
root/virt is the namespace of the libvirt-cim providers. The SBLIM providers live in root/cimv2
Since the namespace of Linux_ComputerSystem is different from the others, how to set CIM_NS twice in one test case? That is to say, I have to set CIM_NS as /root/virt when I enum HostSystem, then the namespace have to be set others when I enum Linux_ComputerSystem in one test case.
This is very similar to what we have to do for the ECTP test cases - RegisteredProfile lives in root/interop, while ComputerSystem lives in root/virt. I'd take a look at those test cases for ideas on how to handle multiple namespaces in one test.
2) For all other tests the depend on a HostSystem instance, do an enum of HostSystem. If no instances are returned, do an enum of Linux_ComputerSystem and use that instance.
