Hi , the new release of the FSVOL instrumentation includes the following three major changes / extensions : * LVM1 support : the access to LVM specific data was reworked ; in earlier releases the /proc fs structure was used to gather data ; this access method had a major disadvantage ( e.g. can not get inactive VGs , PVs and LVs ) which influenced the quality of FSVOL negatively -> now the LVM1 API itself is access point to LVM data * multi-version support : the library loading mechanism was reworked in preparation for a future multi-version support ( LVM2 is coming soon ) cimlvm.c acts now as layer between the CIM LVM provider and the used LVM version ; cimlvm1.c uses the LVM1 API and offers the functionality to gather data * debug support : use the lvm_d option for debugging the lvm specific FSVOL part thanks ... heidi Mfg / Regards Heidi Neumann Linux Technology Center - Systems Management - IBM Laboratory Boeblingen - Germany - Schönaicher Str. 220 - 71032 - Böblingen Phone : ++49 (0) 7031 / 16 - 3193 hei...@de... http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/projects/sblim/ |
