[aperi-dev] SAN Simulator problems

["Paul von Behren" <Paul_von_Behren@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to get the SAN Simulator working and hitting problems.  I was able to get the configuration based approach working.  I'm now trying the snapshot-based approach.  It is able to communicate to the CIMOM and create MOF files, but mofcomp is failing for vendor's namespace (i.e., not interop, not root/cimv2, but the namespace with the vendor's devices).  When I run the wbemservices mofcomp by hand I get pretty incomprehensible error messages.  When I run windows native mofcomp, the messages are somewhat more helpful.  The most frequent problem is seeing "null ref pram-name" in method parameters rather than "CIM_SomeClass ref parm-name".  I believe this occurs every time a method's first parameter is a ref.  I also see some error messages about missing IN or OUT qualifiers, even though the qualifiers appears to be present.  I'm seeing similar problems for array CIMOMs using Pegasus and WSI J Server and an FC Switch using WSI J Server. 

 

Has anyone seen these problems before?  Any workarounds? 

 

Since I end up having to rerun mofcomp repeatedly, I get some of the MOF compiled and the stuff that worked before causes problems the time I run mofcomp.  Is there a trick that will let me delete and entire namespace repository?  I could not find anything in the wbemservices documentation on this, but perhaps I was looking in the wrong place.

 

thanks, Paul
