I agree.

Windows has default providers so that Windows Managed Instrumentation can do
Plug'N'Play and use the registery.

But Linux does not have such default providers.

The same underlying SMBIOS exists in the firmwear, but the information is
not as easily exposed as it is in Windows with WMI Mapper.

Bruno,

I suspect the difference is the setting of the
repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider config property.  The reason the Windows
system is not returning the exception is because the repository is being
considered a provider registered by default (and it is return 0 instances).

If consistency is what you're after, my recommendation would be to change
the configuration on the Windows system so the behavior matches the Linux
system.  The difference between "no providers registered" and "no instances
exist" can be significant.

-Roger

Hi,

I'm trying to enumerate instances of a class without instances and not
assigned to a provider, in Windows XP no errors and no instances are shown,
in Linux (SLES10), the following error appears: CIM_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED

For example (in Linux):
cdm-sles10:~ # cimcli -n root/cimv2 ei CIM_LogicalDevice
cimcli CIMException:  Cmd= ei Object= CIM_LogicalDevice
CIM_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED

In the Linux version, I just downloaded the source rpm and ran the rpmbuild
(like mentioned in OpenPegasus Release RPMs for Linux page).
In Windows I just set the environment vars related with the source dir and
enabled CMPI provider manager.

I'm using OpenPegasus 2.7.1-1.

What's the correct way to make OpenPegasus has the Windows behavior in
Linux? Is there some config for cimserver or should I create a provider
assigned to the classes?

Thanks.
