All,

A provider to publish Service Processor information is at https://github.com/praveen-pk/lmi-bmc. This provider is based on openlmi framework. I talked about this provider in this forum a few months ago. We are trying to package this provider for some distros and are running some issues. Hoping someone can provide some guidance on this issue.

After going thru the build steps, the registration file created for this provider is as follows:

LMI_BMC.reg:

[LMI_BMC]

   provider: LMI_BMC

   location: cmpiLMIBmc

   type: instance method

   namespace: root/cimv2

#

[" CLASS "]

   provider: " PROVIDERNAME "

   location: cmpiLMIBmc

   type: " TYPES;

   namespace: " NAMESPACE "

#

Registering this provider with the above reg file with SFCB CIMOM is causing the CIMOM to crash with the following messages:

sfcb[6370]: --- registration statement not recognized:

sfcb[6370]: 147: [" CLASS "]

sfcb[6370]: --- Broker terminated because of previous error(s)

The build process creates the reg file

“ konkretreg libcmpiLMIBmc.so”

The konkretreg tool walks through the binary shared object (libcmpiLMIBmc.so) and tries to match lines starting with “@(#)KONKRET_REGISTRATION=”. The first match is from one of the source files, actually, the following macro expanded:

KONKRET_REGISTRATION(

    "root/cimv2",

    "LMI_BMC",

    "LMI_BMC",

    "instance method")

The second entry in the reg seems to be from the macro definition itself:

#define KONKRET_REGISTRATION(NAMESPACE,CLASS,PROVIDERNAME,TYPES) static volatile KUNUSED const char __konkret_registration[] = "@(#)KONKRET_REGISTRATION=" NAMESPACE ":" CLASS ":" PROVIDERNAME ":" TYPES;

I am guessing this needs to be fixed in konkretreg tool? Anything else I could be missing here?

Thank you
