SMI-S_Mocks - A set of mock WBEM servers that support SMI-S 1.8.0 storage management servers
This is storage for a set of SMI-S mocks. It is used for publishing the mocks. It uses python, pywbem and pywbemtools.
Overview
Pywbem (and pywbemtools) provide a mechanism for mocking a WBEM server locally on your own system. The mocks use this mechanism. They are developed using Python 3.8, Pywbem 1.1.1 and pywbemtools 0.8.0.
The Mocks
Each mock has it's own directory. Each directory contains three files that make up the mock:
A py file (Python program), an xml file and an instance mof file.
-
The xml file is named [Org]_[Profile Name]_leaflist.xml. Examples are SNIA_Array_leaflist.xml and SNIA_NAS Head_leaflist.xml. The xml leaflist file holds all the leaf classes for a complete implementation of an autonomous profile. That is, all classes in the autonomous profile and its component profiles. It is based on all classes identified by SMI-S 1.8.0.
-
The mof file is named Mock[Org]_[Profile Name]Instances.mof. Examples are MockSNIA_ArrayInstances.mof and MockSNIA_NAS HeadInstances.mof. The mof files contain instance mofs for all instances that are to be mocked.
-
The python program is named [Profile Name]MockLoad.py. Examples are ArrayMockLoad.py and NASHeadMockLoad.py. The python program (py file) is to be used to establish (and name) a mock. The program reads in the class lists for both the WBEM Server Profile and the SNIA Server Profile and combine those lists with the class list for the device profile (e.g., Array or NAS Head). It uses the combined list to load class definitions in the mock. It then reads the mof file to load instances into the mock.
Quick Start Guides
The Quick Start Guides directory contains pdf files. The pdf files are Quick Start Guides for finding information in the mocks. The guides include text describing what we are looking for, the pywbemcli commands to get that information and the output produced from the mocks.
