3. Changes and New Features
===============================================================================
- This is the initial release of the Mellanox Common Information Model (CIM) 
  Provider for Linux

3. Known Issues
===============================================================================
1.  The "cimserver" process does not start correctly after machine boot. 
	Workaround:
	Once the provider machine is up, terminate the "cimserver" process and 
	restart it. Run:
	pkill -9 cimserver
	sudo -E /opt/pegasus/bin/cimserver -D $PEGASUS_HOME providerDir="/usr/lib64/:$PEGASUS_HOME/lib"

2.  MLNX_SoftwareIdentity associations present the  
    CIM_DiagnosticTest instead of MLNX_DiagnosticTest - known Pegasus issue.

3.  When the Ethernet port MTU is lower than 284, the CIM querying is not funtional.
