Setuptools v54.1.0 introduces a warning that the use of dash-separated options in 'setup.cfg' will not be supported in a future version [1]. Get ahead of the issue by replacing the dashes with underscores. Without this, we see 'UserWarning' messages like the following on new enough versions of setuptools: UserWarning: Usage of dash-separated 'description-file' will not be supported in future versions. Please use the underscore name 'description_file' instead [1] https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/commit/a2e9ae4cb Change-Id: Ib392d89aded3c0f639036bb47739d10f5396a346
Dell EMC OEM extension for sushy
Sushy is a client library designed to communicate with Redfish based BMC.
Redfish specification offers extensibility mechanism to let hardware vendors
introduce their own features with the common Redfish framework. At the same
time, sushy supports extending its data model by loading extensions found
within its "oem" namespace.
The sushy-oem-idrac package is a sushy extension package that aims at
adding high-level hardware management abstractions, that are specific to
Dell EMC BMC (which is known under the name of iDRAC), to the tree of sushy
Redfish resources.
Example use
Once installed, sushy user can access Dell EMC OEM resources. For example, OEM extension of Manager resource can be instrumental for switching the node to boot from a virtual media device:
import sushy
root = sushy.Sushy('http://mydellemcbmc.example.com')
manager = root.get_manager('iDRAC.Embedded.1')
oem_manager = manager.get_oem_extension('Dell')
oem_manager.set_virtual_boot_device(
sushy.VIRTUAL_MEDIA_CD, persistent=False, manager=manager)
See full example of virtual media boot setup in the functional test suite.
