Manageability Profile

The Manageability Profile Workstream is an open workstream of the OCP Hardware Management Project that publishes OCP manageability profiles for the Redfish interface. Products seeking OCP recognition must meet the Supplier Checklist's required profiles, shown by Redfish Interop Validator output. When the Incubation Committee approves a Usage Guide it also approves the matching profile, which is then released at the top level of the HWMgmt-OCP-Profiles repository on GitHub. The workstream collaborates with the Server Project, the OpenRMC-DM Sub-Project, the Cooling Environments HWLC workstream, and the Sustainability Project, and its profiles span baseline, server, rack, service-baseline, NIC, GPU, power shelf, rack PDU, liquid cooling, and sustainability management domains.

About This Workstream

The Manageability Profile Workstream is a Workstream of the OCP Hardware Management Project and is open to the OCP community.

The workstream publishes OCP manageability profiles for the Redfish interface. Products seeking OCP recognition must satisfy the Supplier Checklist, which specifies the required manageability profiles; conformance is tested with the Redfish Interop Validator, and the validator output for the appropriate profile is included with the product contribution.

When the Incubation Committee approves a Usage Guide, it concurrently approves the corresponding Manageability Profile. Approved profiles are posted at the top level of the OCP Interop Profile repository; drafts live in subfolders, and work in progress in branches. Usage Guides are published in the OCP Contribution Database.

Profiles

Released and draft profiles cover the following management domains (see the repository for current versions and status):

  • Platform level — Baseline Hardware Management; Server Management; Rack Management; Redfish Service Baseline
  • On-platform components — Component Baseline Management; Ethernet NIC Management; GPU Management
  • Power equipment — Power Shelf Management; Rack PDU Management
  • Liquid cooling equipment — Liquid Cooling Baseline Management; Cooling Distribution Unit Management; Rear Door Heat Exchanger Management
  • Sustainability — Sustainability Management

Scope

The Profile Workstream publishes OCP manageability profiles for the Redfish interface, collaborating with other OCP groups on their profiles:

  • Server Profile : with the OCP Server Project
  • Rack Manager Profile : with the OpenRMC-DM Sub-Project
  • Liquid Cooling Profiles : with the HWLC Workstream of the OCP Cooling Environments Project
  • Sustainability Profile : with the OCP Sustainability Project
  • Profile Process : maintaining the profile status definitions (Contributed, Released, Draft, WIP, Plan) and the profile creation and release process
