[lsb-discuss] Linux Manageability Standardization Issues

[Ahn, Chang-Won (ETRI)]

Hi, Dan.

Thanks for your comments.
I totally agree with you that I should explain my presentation to the
community.

Our idea in the presentation was that it was time to dramatically enhance
the manageability (or serviceability) of linux system, which should help
Linux
make inroads to the ubiquitous computing environment.

There could be two ways to achieve this goal.
One is to fully utilize "/proc" or "/sys" by making them as common resource
information sources. But it should be consistently standardized across
various distros.
The other is to build up abstraction layer for manageability using CIM
standards.
You may know that MS windows is already providing WMI instrumentation based
on CIM.

I am not sure which way is better for Linux community for now and future.
Could I have chance to hear your opinions?

Regards,


- Ahn, Chang-Won
