Sounds OK. Getting the concept of the VirtualDevice <--> RASD <--> Pool <--> PxDevice
is most important; recorded vs current RASD is secondary, as is the one VSSD per VM.

Sure. One big busy slide with most everything for an active VM - with processor,
memory, disk & NICs - will be visually overwhelming but something that we can talk
around and point out relationship, as well as giving them the whole picture in a printed
slide for reference later.

Will do.

sounds OK. I might suggest reordering a bit:
- Connect to cimom and look in Interop namespace for our profiles
- Follow ElementConformsToProfile to find host (OMC) CS.
- Enumerate virtual CS running on host CS by follow HostedDependency
- Define a virtual CS (will have to use cli for this one as none of the
free GUI clients support embedded instances)
- Enumerate virtual CS - see new defined but disabled CS
- Invoke RequestStateChange() on new CS to move to enabled state
* this might be a good point to break out and show what 'xm' shows for the new DomU
- Pause/unpause via RequestStateChange()
* Suspend. Show how it still exists wrt to CIM model, but not to 'xm'. Resume
* destroy vm
- Look at pools associated with host CS
- Look at host resources contained in pool
- Look at virtual resources (and RASD) allocated from pool
ie cover the major lifecycle ops first, then delve into the pool stuff.
* Can we demo/show the async lifecycle indications somehow too? ie how a CIMListerer will
automagically get notified when a DomU is created/started/stopped/destroyed/etc

All,
Find my latest work on the summit presentation attached. The diagram on
slide 11 does not include CIM_VSSD or recorded RASD - it was getting
cluttered with these components and their associations. I think the
diagram illustrates the concept of resource allocation as is, but will
add some of the finer points if desired. Perhaps we should have 1 slide
containing a busy diagram that shows the model in action for an active
vm. It would bring together all of the 'component' diagrams on previous
slides.
Gareth - I don't have source for diagram on slide 8. You will take care
of this one?
Currently for demo I've been thinking along the lines of:
- Connect to cimom and look in Interop namespace for our profiles
- Follow ElementConformsToProfile to find host (OMC) CS.
- Look at pools associated with host CS
- Look at host resources contained in pool
- Look at virtual resources (and RASD) allocated from pool
- Enumerate virtual CS running on host CS by follow HostedDependency
- Define a virtual CS (will have to use cli for this one as none of the
free GUI clients support embedded instances)
- Enumerate virtual CS - see new defined but disabled CS
- Invoke RequestStateChange() on new CS to move to enabled state
- Pause/unpause via RequestStateChange()
- ??
Feel free to add suggestion for the demo as well. Still lots of work.
Would like to have this solidified by the end of next week.
BTW, I do not have a laptop capable of running this demo :-(. My plan
is to bring along a workstation-sized machine loaded with the demo.
Hopefully I can get access to a monitor on site so I don't have to drag
that along as well.
Jim
