Affected Facter version:
Currently, Facter (as part of the manufacturer.rb) can get information from DMI
about the manufacturer of a system. This can be unreliable on "whitebox"
machines, where the manufacturer/product name/serial number fields are left
blank.
For example, on a Dell system, the output of dmidecode includes:
Handle 0x0100, DMI type 1, 27 bytes
System Information
Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
Product Name: PowerEdge R515
Version: Not Specified
Serial Number: 63XXXQ1
UUID: 4C4XXXXXX-0033-5110-8052-B6C04F4E5131
Wake-up Type: Power Switch
SKU Number: Not Specified
Family: Not Specified
Handle 0x0200, DMI type 2, 9 bytes
Base Board Information
Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
Product Name: 03X0MN
Version: A01
Serial Number: ..CNXXXX313A0459.
Asset Tag: Not Specified
But on a "whitebox" machine, the output looks like:
Handle 0x0001, DMI type 1, 25 bytes
System Information
Manufacturer: Intel
Product Name:
Version:
Serial Number:
UUID: 6BXXXX05-7162-11DC-618F-000423DDDB14
Wake-up Type: Power Switch
Handle 0x0002, DMI type 2, 8 bytes
Base Board Information
Manufacturer: Intel
Product Name: SE7520BD2D
Version: FRU Ver 0.01
Serial Number: BZB26XXX0124
Adding identification of motherboards would help augment this information.
