Features
Now Available: Text Console Redirection Profile
DMTF released version 1.0 of the Text Console Redirection Profile (DSP1024),
which was prepared by the Server Management Working
Group. The new profile extends management capabilities of
referencing profiles and provides the capability to manage text console
redirections provided by the system.
DSP1024 describes the elements needed to provide the capability to
manage the redirection of a text console flow. The following outlines
the text redirection capabilities of typical computer systems that the
profile could manage:
- Systems can have multiple sources of bidirectional text console
flows which can be redirected.
- Prior to being redirected, the text console flow has an Original
Destination. This is typically a local serial port to which a terminal
is connected in order to access the text console flow.
- A text console flow can be redirected to one or more destinations.
A destination can be another serial port or a network port. The network
port facilitates remote access to the text console and is known as
serial-over-LAN.
- The redirection of a text console flow can be accomplished while
still delivering the text console flow to its Original
Destination.
- A redirected text console flow can be terminated by embedding a
special character sequence into the text console flow.
Five Preliminary Specs for Member Review
DASH Implementation Requirements
A preliminary release 1.0.0b of the DASH Implementation Requirements
(DSP0232)
has been announced. DSP0232, prepared by the DMTF Desktop and Mobile
Working Group (DMWG), describes the conformance requirements for
implementing the Desktop and Mobile Architecture for System Hardware
version 1.0 (DASH
1.0).
CIM Infrastructure v2.4
DMTF has issued a version 2.4 release of the Common Information Model (CIM) Infrastructure
(DSP0004),
which is owned by the DMTF Architecture Working
Group. DSP0004 defines: the CIM meta model; the CIM Managed Object
Format (MOF), a language based on IDL (the Object Management Group's
Interface Definition Language) language; and the CIM qualifiers.
OS Status Profile
This month, DMTF issued a preliminary release 1.0.0a of the OS Status
Profile (DSP1029).
Prepared by the Server
Management Working Group (SMWG), DSP1029 extends the management
capabilities of referencing profiles by adding the capability to
represent operating system name and version information and the state of
the operating system, whether it is running, booting, suspended,
etc.
OS Status Profile SM CLP Command Mapping Specification
Version 1.0.0a of the OS Status Profile SM CLP Command Mapping
Specification (DSP0842) has
also been released by DMTF. Developed in the SMWG, this specification
contains the requirements for an implementation of the SM CLP to provide
access to, and implement the behaviors of, the OS Status Profile.
DSP0842 provides the command line semantics for finding the name,
version and state of the operating systems on a managed node.
Enabled Logical Element Profile
DMTF recently issued version 1.0.0a of the Enabled Logical Element
Profile (DSP1080).
Developed by the SMWG, DSP1080 extends the management capabilities of
referencing profiles by adding the capability to represent any enabled
logical element. The profile describes common requirements for modeling
a variety of enabled logical element behaviors within a managed system,
including enabled state management, health state, and operational
status.
