Welcome[edit]

Welcome to the OCP RAS API workstream. This is a CLA workstream of the OCP Hardware Management Project
This workstream is under CLA so in order to participate we need to sign a RAS API CLA .
Disclaimer: Please do not submit any confidential information to the Project Community.
All presentation materials, proposals, meeting minutes and/or supporting documents can be utilize for the upcoming RAS API specification.
If you have any questions please contact OCP.

Workstream Overview[edit]

This workstream will be working on creating the RAS API specification.

Problem Statement[edit]

Having no industry standard for RAS management makes each HW vendor solution specific and resource intensive; while delaying RAS feature adoption.

When creating a specification to solve the standardization problem some major pain points need to be considered:

  • Specification for common abstraction for RAS between software and hardware that is vendor agnostic as well as platform agnostic.
  • Connectivity for RAS management should allow co-existence of In Band and Out of Band methods
  • Logging mechanism must solve RAS unique problems (Error storms, error sampling, etc.)
  • RAS feature abstraction should be generic enough to have open source drivers that can do a reasonable job at managing RAS;
    while leaving the opportunity for hardware vendor to differentiate and keep innovating.

Methodology[edit]

The current baseline is Revision 0.8. We plan to meet with companies that agree with this objective in order to draft a complete specification that solves the problem statement.
