Thought I would have some information to get on this by now. I have
a
lot more information (than I expected) to sort through and will need
quite a bit of time to sort through L.
I don’t want to hold back this effort any longer. For now let us
proceed with implementing a generic class like
“BMC_ManagementController”. If we (Dell or other vendors) see a need
to a have different class with attributes named differently or extend
the attributed for BMC class, we add a new class by inheriting the
BMC_ManagementController class.
I am guessing the primary source for populating the BMC information
will be IPMI? Putting together the information from Russ and Klaus,
following seem to be attributes we want to capture:
* BMC manufacturer, make, model, revision, and firmware level.
* BMC IP address
* BMC URL
* Protocols Supported (This might be tough, will have to check if this
info is exported via IPMI)
Looks like a good start to me. I would suggest building a basic provider
with this information and making it available, then seeing what else
people need.

Some more properties looking at the iDARC Class
· Fully Qualified Domain Name, if applicable
· LANStateEnabled or Disabled?
Any thoughts?
Thank you
