15.18.1 Software Information

Software information files are XML documents that list configuration information for the software (operating system) included in a cloning image.

Create and register one software information file for each item of software.

Software information for operating systems is included with the products, so infrastructure administrators will not usually need to create software information.

Refer to "Appendix C Registered Software IDs" for information on the software information included with this product.

If information such as license information is required, the infrastructure administrator must modify the file contents.

Refer to "15.18.1.2 File Information Details" for a description of items (tags).

New software information will need to be created when registering software such as OSS.

Infrastructure administrators must take this model into account when performing creation.

The software information model is stored in the following folder:

[Windows Manager]

Installation_folder\RCXCFMG\templates\softwares\

[Linux Manager]

/opt/FJSVcfmg/templates/softwares/

Software information files use the following XML format:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<software version="2.0">
	<id>[Software ID]</id>
	<lcid>[Locale ID]</lcid>
	<name>[Software name]</name>
	<ownerOrg>[Owner (tenant)]</ownerOrg>
	<ownerUser>[Owner (user)]</ownerUser>
	<category>[Software category]</category>
	<osCategory>[Operating system category]</osCategory>
	<version>[Version]</version>
	<officialVersion>[Official version]</officialVersion>
	<patch>[Patch version number]</patch>
	<license>[License]</license>
	<support>[Support]</support>
	<productId>[Model number]</productId>
</software>

The following table shows descriptions of each of these items (tags), as well as their settings:

Modify software information files if necessary, by referring to the information in this table.

Tag names in square brackets [ ] can be omitted.

Tag name	Format	Setting range	Description	Mandatory	Settings

This can be specified only when the operating system is Windows. - If the server virtualization software is RHEL-KVM, the operating systems that can be specified in the guest OS are Windows Server 2008 R2. - If the server virtualization software is OVM for x86, the guest OS will not use this setting. - If the server virtualization software is Citrix XenServer: When using Linux Manager or using Windows Manager and a cloning image where "OS settings" are disabled, the guest OS will not use this setting. Refer to "17.5.1 Collecting and Registering" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE" for information on "OS setting" when collecting cloning images. (Example) XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
