Track - Common Diagnostic Model (CDM)

CDM Standard Technical Overview

Kevin Kuelbs, Hewlett Packard
Eric Tend, Hewlett Packard

What is the Common Diagnostic Model? What does the model look like and how does it all fit together to provide common diagnostics?
This session will describe the CDM v2 model, including the details of the classes, associations and properties and the new CDM Profile that describes the intended usage of the CDM model. This session will also touch on potential future work.

CDM Forum Plans & Timeline

Jerry Chin, Hewlett Packard

Champions in the industries have created the CDM Forum under the DMTF Interoperability Initiative. The charter of the forum is to drive broad and rapid adoption of CDM across the entire computer industry. Come learn about the CDM Forum initiatives: coordinating and pooling industry resources, development tools for CDM, Interoperability/Conformance testing, Interoperability PlugFest,  including timeline for these initiatives.

CDM Development Tools and Aids

Andre Asselin, IBM

So you need to write a CDM provider? Come find out what what options are available for developing a provider. Session will touch on writing a CDM provider from scratch and by using sample code, but focus on using the CDM Forum SDK and CIMPLE. The basic set of APIs will be explained, and an example provider will be illustrated.

CDM Profile and Conformance Testing

Ravindra Muddinagiri, Patni

Integrating diagnostics developed by multiple companies can be very challenging. Even diagnostics developed to an industry standard schema, such as CDM, often result in interoperability issues. How do you know that your CDM provider is compatible with CDM providers from other suppliers?
This session focuses on the CDM Profile and Conformance Testing process that will ensure a high level of interoperability and customer acceptance.

CDM Birds of a Feather

Hope Hines, DMTF

Open discussion with the CDM technical leaders. Opportunity for attendees to ask questions about CDM technology, implementation & tools, vendor strategies, etc. Panel members will be confirmed later, but it's hoped that at least all of the Leadership members of the CDM Forum will participate (i.e. IBM, HP, Dell, and Symantec).

Implementing CDM Profiles using CMPI

Jim Marshall, WBEM Solutions, Inc

Matt Hamre, WBEM Solutions, Inc.

This session will describe how to develop CMPI providers to implement CDM profiles. Even though CDM profiles are used for this session, the concepts are applicable to any profile development. This session will provide working code examples. Attendees should be familiar with C coding.
