Welcome

Welcome to the Profile Workstream with the Hardware Management Project. This workstream is open to the OCP community.

OCP Manageability Profiles

Products seeking OCP-Accepted and OCP-Inspired Certification Marks must satisfy the Supplier Checklist. The checklist specifies the OCP manageability profile to which a platform must conform.

Conformance is determined by executing the Redfish Interop Validator with the appropriate profile and including the output file in the product contribution. The Redfish Conformance Test Suite includes the Redfish Interop Validator

Charter

The Profile workstream is chartered to publish OCP manageability profiles exposed by OCP platforms and components via the Redfish interface. Some profiles are developed in collaboration with other workstreams, since those workstreams have the subject matter expertise.

  • The server profile - in conjunction with OCP Server Project
  • The rack manager profile is owned by the OpenRMC-DM subproject
  • The liquid cooling profiles are owned by the Hardware Mgmt for Liquid Cooling (HWLC) workstream within the OCP Cooling Environments Project
  • The sustainability profile is owned by the Sustainability Project

Usage Guides and the Manageability Profiles

A Manageability Profiles is associated with an Usage Guide. The process for updating profiles in described in this [https://drive.google.com/file/d/15ttqujtULmtMV8bPmFo54vvt7RYFTizT presentation].

When the IC approves the Usage Guide, it approves the corresponding Manageability Profile. The Usage Guide is posted on the Contribution database, and the Manageability Profile is posted to the top folder of the [https://github.com/opencomputeproject/HWMgmt-OCP-Profiles OCP Interop Profile repository]. In folders below the top level are drafts and should be considered work-in-progress.

A Manageability Profile can be read by the Redfish Interop Validator, which will test an implementation for conformance to the profile. The semantics of the Manageability profile file are specified in the Redfish Interoperability Profile Specification.

In the tables below:

  • Contributed means the usage guide can be found in the Contribution Database.
  • Released means the profile can be found at the top level of the Profile repository
  • Draft means the file is in a subfolder of the Profile repository.
  • WIP means the file is in a branch. The profile may or may not be runnable.
  • Plan means the document is still in plan.

Regardless of the state of a file, feel free to utilize the profile/document, and file any issues.
