Hardware Management

Project Leads

Hemal Shah, Jugeshwar Mahto

Scale computing requires a small and stable set of tools to remotely manage machines. The hardware management specification incorporates a set of existing tools and best practices and leverages existing tools for remote machine management.

Scope

The Hardware Management Project will focus on the following:

• Standard manageability interfaces
• Baseline manageability capabilities across the following Open Compute projects:
  • Compute
  • Storage
  • Networking
  • Telco
  • Data Center Facility
  • HPC
  • Rack & Power
• Baseboard management controller (BMC) requirements
• Rack management controller specifications, requirements and reference implementations
• Interoperability and conformance to manageability specifications
• Provide guidance and feedback to other Open Compute projects extending the baseline manageability capabilities

Subprojects

• Open RMC
  • Wiki
  • Mailing List
