RE: [dsdp-tm-dev] Target discovery and lab management

["Oberhuber, Martin" <Martin.Oberhuber@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Patrick,

 

There are no plans for supporting lab management in the TM Open Source project at the moment.

Would you be interested in contributing something?

 

For target discovery, a zeroconf based implementation had been contributed, but is not actively maintained any more.

At the moment, I think that TCF is the most interesting technology for target discovery. Let me know if you need more information.

 

Import/Export of multiple connections at once sounds like a good idea. I suggest that you file an enhancement request on bugzilla for this.

 

Cheers,

Subject: [dsdp-tm-dev] Target discovery and lab management

Hi,

In the TM Use Cases Document (http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/doc/DSDPTM_Use_Cases_v1.1c.pdf) there are use cases related to target discovery and shared targets (target inventory, target reservation, etc.).

Also in the TM Future Planning on the wiki (http://wiki.eclipse.org/TM_Future_Planning) for Ganymede there was an item about Remote Lab Manager support which had a similar description.

Are these features implemented somewhere or still planned for the future? I didn't find them mentioned in the Project Plan for TM 3.1.

In the meantime there is a connection import/export feature in RSE, but it currently supports only a single connection at a time. Would it be a possible and desirable improvement to allow the import/export of multiple connections through a single operation?

Thanks,
Patrick
