"Update History" (release notes):
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6998343
At the time of this writing,
the "APAR" links of the "Update History" lead to 404.
However, the abstracts indicate that
this update is not security critical.
Note that this update changed the GUI window title
to "IBM Storage Protect"
(the product itself was renamed with version 8.1.19.0 already).
The commit at hand adapts the GUI vm test accordingly.
Also, all URLs in package and module comments are updated.
`tsm-client` uses a global configuration
file that must contain coordinates for each
server that it is supposed to contact.
This configuration consists of text
lines with key-value pairs.
In the NixOS module, these servers may be declared
with an attribute set, where the attribute name
defines an alias for the server, and the value
is again an attribute set with the settings for
the respective server.
This is organized as an option of type `attrsOf submodule...`.
Before this commit:
Important settings have their own option within
the submodule. For everything else, there is
the "catch-all" option `extraConfig` that may
be used to declare any key-value pairs.
There is also `text` that can be used to
add arbitrary text to each server's
section in the global config file.
After this commit:
`extraConfig` and `text` are gone,
the attribute names and values of each server's attribute
set are translated directly into key-value pairs,
with the following notable rules:
* Lists are translated into multiple lines
with the same key, as such is permitted by
the software for certain keys.
* `null` may be used to override/shadow a value that
is defined elsewhere and hides the corresponding key.
Those "important settings" that have previously been
defined as dedicated options are still defined as such,
but they have been renamed to match their
corresponding key names in the configuration file.
There is a notable exception:
"Our" boolean option `genPasswd` influences the "real"
option `passwordaccess', but the latter one is
uncomfortable to use and might lead
to undesirable outcome if used the wrong way.
So it seems advisable to keep the boolean option
and the warning in its description.
To this end, the value of `getPasswd` itself is
later filtered out when the config file is generated.
The tsm-backup service module and the vm test are adapted.
Migration code will be added in a separate
commit to permit easy reversal later, when the
migration code is no longer deemed necessary.
The tsm-client needs a tsm-server to do anything useful.
Without a server, automated tests can just
check diagnostic outputs for plausibility.
The commit at hand adds two tests:
1.
The command line interface `dsmc` is called,
then it is verified that the program does
* report the correct client version,
* find its configuration file,
* report a connection error.
2.
To check the GUI (and the tsm-client nixos module), we add a
vm test which uses the module to install `tsm-client-withGui`.
To verify that the GUI's basic functionality is present,
we skip over all connection failure related error
messages and open the "Connection Information"
dialog from the main application window.
This dialog presents the node name and the client version;
both are verified by the test.
Note: Our `tsm-client` build recipe consists of two packages:
The "unwrapped" package and the final package.
This commit puts the unwrapped one into the final
package's `passthru` so that tests can access
the original version string that is needed to check
the client version reported by the application.
