It is written in C and should work in any CIMOM that supports CMPI 2.0 providers. The intent is to implement the SVPC virtualization class model currently available in the DMTF Experimental 2.16 schema. </p><p>The providers are currently under heavy development. Focus is on Xen support right now, which means some of the providers have some "shortcuts" hard-coded to Xen right now. The long-term goal is to support all of the platforms that libvirt supports with minimal differences. </p></div></div><div id="footer"><p id="sponsor"> Sponsored by:<br /> IBM </p></div></body></html>
