The recent upgrade of redfishtool from 1.1.5 to 1.1.8 introduced a change that added a BootSourceOverrideMode key:value pair to the payload of the 'setBootOverride Once <target>' patch request. An issue was found were some or all servers from a manufacturer exhibit undesirable behavior when the 'setBootOverride Once <target>' patch request payload includes a BootSourceOverrideMode key:value pair. The undesirable behavior ranges from outright command failure or triggers the BMC to run a time consuming BIOS reconfiguraiton job followed by an extra reboot. This update remedies that by introducing a configuration file and source code patch to the opensource redfishtool package and uses the contents of the new configuraiton file and patch to change the behavior of the setBootOverride command handling for select servers. The configuration file contains a setBootOverride_overrides section with two BootSourceOverrideMode exclude string lists, one of server models and one of server manufacturers. [setBootOverride_overrides] exclude_BootSourceOverrideMode_Models = "<model>", "<model>" exclude_BootSourceOverrideMode_Manufacturers = "<manufacturer>" This update allows the new configuration file to be populated with server model or manufacturer names that should exclude (not include) the BootSourceOverrideMode as part of the payload thereby avoiding the undesirable behavior. If current server is found in either the models or manufacturers lists then it is excluded from getting the BootSourceOverrideMode key:value pair added to the 'setBootOverride Once <target>' patch request. Test Plan: PASS: Verify build and install of patched opensource redfishtool pkg PASS: Verify install of AIO SX/AIO DX PASS: - with/without excluded servers PASS: - IPV4 and IPV6 PASS: Verify DC system install with HPE servers PASS: Verify handling defaults to no exclusions if PASS: - the new config file is missing PASS: - the setBootOverride_overrides section is missing PASS: - both exclude_BootSourceOverrideMode lists are missing PASS: Verify handling when exclude_BootSourceOverrideMode lists PASS: - are missing or empty. PASS: - contain a badly formatted string like a missing a quote PASS: Verify handling if a server provides an empty PASS: - model string PASS: - manufacturer string PASS: Verify newly added debug logging (level 4 with -vvvv) PASS: Verify HPE server setBootOverride Once Pxe works Closes-Bug: 2091879 Change-Id: Idcee7be6edc62438fe29a9e8ce031ee94328e508 Signed-off-by: Eric MacDonald <eric.macdonald@windriver.com> |
