[Xen-cim] important DMTF SVPC documents

[Gareth S Bestor <bestor@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Overall System Virtualization profile
(VM lifecycle):
        http://www.dmtf.org/apps/org/workgroup/redundancy/download.php/19117/DMTF-System_Virtualization_Profile_0_7_1.pdf
this is now a little out-of-date. Changes
from recent DMTF f2f still need to be incorporated.

Other important profiles: 
        http://www.dmtf.org/apps/org/workgroup/redundancy/download.php/18208/Resource_Virtualization_Profile-0_8_1.pdf
               
        http://www.dmtf.org/apps/org/workgroup/redundancy/download.php/19250/Allocation_Capabilities_Profile_v0_9.1.pdf
        http://www.dmtf.org/apps/org/workgroup/redundancy/download.php/18937/DMTF-Memory_Resource_Virtualization%20Profile_v0.7.pdf
the memory profile will serve as the
template for the other resource type profiles (eg processor, disk, network
port, etc)

MOFs:

CIM Schema 2.13 Schedule:
        http://www.dmtf.org/apps/org/workgroup/redundancy/download.php/17834/CIM2.13%20schedule.htm
target for 2.13 public release is 09/26/2006.
This is the earliest that we should consider putting out products using
these mofs (DMTF isn't terribly keen of pre-releasing draft docs, including
mofs, in the first place, yet alone folks shipping 'final' products built
on pre-release material...) 


The following is a very good PPT slides
fro Mike describing the Cluster profile that I talked about on the call
today. This is the model we should frame a "Xen cluster" in,
both in terms of grouping all the DomU's present on a single host in a
meaningful mgmt way, as well connecting multiple Xen host system together
for the like of, say, a migration/high-availability cluster. I'll send
out some of my preliminary thoughts/diagrams as to how we might want to
use Mike's models for a Xen cluster, using LinuxHA as an initial base cluster
infrastructure underneath.
