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).
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.
The redfish driver implements get_facts, get_interfaces, get_interfaces_ip, get_environment, get_users, get_ntp_servers and get_snmp_information for the BMC, and the role methods get_power_state, set_power_state, get_hardware_inventory, get_event_log, get_firmware_inventory and get_management_protocols for the managed server. reboot_host resets the BMC through Manager.Reset, never the server.
Registered as the napalm.drivers entry point redfish; depends on napalm and napalm-device-types >= 4.6.
parse_power_supply also reads items of the legacy Power.PowerSupplies array, parse_ethernet_interface exposes the raw LinkStatus, and parse_network_protocol reports protocols that carry a Port without a ProtocolEnabled flag.
Pure functions for ServiceRoot, ComputerSystem (facts, power state, reset action and ActionInfo), Processors, Memory, Storage/Drives/SimpleStorage, Chassis Thermal and Power as well as ThermalSubsystem/PowerSubsystem/Sensors (with environment_sources to pick whichever exists), Manager, EthernetInterfaces, ManagerNetworkProtocol, accounts, firmware inventory and log services/entries.
Session login through the SessionService with X-Auth-Token, the session deleted on close (also on errors and when the DELETE fails), basic auth as fallback only when the service cannot create sessions, never after a rejected password. Certificate verification is on by default and configurable per device; True passes the requests CA bundle explicitly because the redfish library disables verification without a CA file.
Collections are followed by @odata.id, including expanded members and nextLink pages. Links to other hosts are refused so the session token stays on the BMC.
Unmodified files from DMTF Redfish-Publications (public-rackmount1, public-localstorage, public-telemetry), only those the tests use, each set with DMTF's BSD-3-Clause license and a COMMANDS.txt naming the source commit and request paths.
conftest.py loads them by request path and serves a mockup over mocked HTTP, with a SessionService that hands out a token, for the transport tests.
pyproject.toml (Apache-2.0, Python >= 3.10, depends on the DMTF redfish library) and an empty napalm_redfish package. No napalm.drivers entry point yet: the driver class waits for the ManagementControllerDriver role base.
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.
