Christian Manivong 09029ca0a4 style: ruff format and the lint rules of the driver standard
Mechanical: ruff format, and ruff check --fix with the rule set every NAPALM
driver uses (E, F, I, UP, B at line length 100, Python 3.10). Mapping and
Iterable come from collections.abc, imports are sorted. What ruff cannot
fix comes in the next commit.

Christian Manivong e9ad7951cd feat: a bmc driver that takes the best of Redfish and IPMI (0.4.0)
bmc (napalm_redfish.bmc:BmcDriver) reads a BMC over Redfish where it
answers. A BMC that refuses Redfish (no license) is read and switched over
IPMI. A getter that fails over Redfish is asked over IPMI where IPMI has it;
IPMI is opened only then. Power control goes over Redfish when it answers,
and a refusal is final. The BMC is reset over Redfish only. Same account
for both; ipmi_port in optional_args.

Discovery suggests bmc for a BMC it finds: the fingerprint rules moved from
RedfishDriver to BmcDriver.

Christian Manivong adf152ee12 fix: read a Supermicro X10 with only the OOB license over Redfish (0.3.1)
First run against real hardware over Redfish: an X10DRL-i (BMC 3.91) with
SFT-OOB-LIC. Its Redfish tree is recorded under
tests/fixtures/supermicro-x10drl-i-3.91/redfish, scrubbed.

- A resource refused for want of a further license (403 OemLicenseNotPassed)
  no longer fails the getter. Storage then falls back to SimpleStorage. The
  firmware list falls back to the BMC and BIOS versions when UpdateService
  is withheld.
- get_device_warnings reports bmc_license_partial with the licenses and the
  withheld parts (drives, firmware inventory).
- A placeholder system model ("Super Server") is replaced by the board
  (PartNumber, else the chassis model).

Christian Manivong 6c60f7ac60 feat: switch the server's power over IPMI (0.3.0)
IpmiDriver.set_power_state sends an IPMI chassis control: On, GracefulShutdown,
ForceOff and ForceRestart. get_power_state now offers what fits the server's
state: On when it is off, the other three when it is on. IPMI has no graceful
restart and pyghmi offers no power cycle, so neither is offered. The driver
still does not reset the BMC.

For boards that offer nothing but IPMI, such as a Supermicro X10 without a
Redfish license.

Christian Manivong 8b512b6e0d Update README and references for the transport and parsers 2026-10-12 23:42:14 +00:00
Christian Manivong 5f8a4ef975 docs: design notes for a Redfish/IPMI BMC driver
No code yet. The README explains why one Redfish driver with vendor quirk
modules beats a Supermicro-only IPMI driver, and keeps IPMI over LAN as a
read-only fallback. docs/ holds a draft for a new ManagementController
role base in napalm-device-types, the getter-to-resource map, the first
test device (Supermicro X10DRL-i, Redfish firmware 3.91), the security
points (IPMI RAKP hash disclosure, power control, credentials) and the
test plan with DMTF mockups and fixtures to record.
