Well, I did some research to find out what those management tools but couldn't find any specific documentation about that but on the other hand I found some docs describing the profiles that are provided from the various implementations: Sun ILOM - -------- - - DSP1004 - Base Server Profile - - DSP1009 - Sensors Profile - - DSP1010 - Record Log Profile - - DSP1011 - Physical Asset Profile - - DSP1018 - Service Processor Profile - - DSP1022 - CPU Profile - - DSP1026 - System Memory Profile - - DSP1033 - Profile Registration - - DSP1074 - Indicator LED Profile Reference: http://docs.sun.com/source/820-6413-11/WS_MAN_CIM.html#50647112_53720 IBM System z Hardware Management Console - ---------------------------------------- - - DSP1004 - Base Server Profile - - DSP1011 - Physical Asset Profile - - DSP1012 - Boot Control Profile - - DSP1018 - Service Processor Profile - - DSP1023 - Software Inventory Profile - - DSP1042 - System Virtualization Profile - - DSP1057 - Virtual System Profile Reference: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg2633d0c87855f6a2d852573f700527ecb HP Insight Management - --------------------- - - DSP1004 - Base Server Profile (specialized) - - DSP1009 - Sensors Profile - - DSP1010 - Record Log Profile - - DSP1011 - Physical Asset Profile - - DSP1013 - Fan Profile - - DSP1014 - Ethernet Port Profile (specialized) - - DSP1015 - Power Supply Profile - - DSP1022 - CPU Profile - - DSP1023 - Software Inventory Profile - - DSP1026 - System Memory Profile - - DSP1027 - Power State Management Profile - - DSP1029 - OS Status Profile 1.0 - - DSP1033 - Profile Registration - - DSP1035 - Host LAN Network Port Profile - - DSP1036 - IP Interface Profile - - DSP1040 - Platform Watchdog Profile - - DSP1052 - Computer System Profile - - DSP1075 - PCI Device Profile Reference: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01382288/c01382288.pdf Although this is regarding Windows servers there are separate docs about the Linux providers HP offers: http://docs.hp.com/en/linuxredhat.html#HP%20Integrity%20Essentials%20Foundation%20Pack%20for%20Linux According to this document: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/sblim/index.php?title=SFCB,_How_low_can_you_go#Components.2C_versions_and_test_environment And according to the most common providers (I think the most common ones must be the ones most needed/wanted) I suggest a list of profiles for required implementation: - - DSP1004 - Base Server Profile - - DSP1009 - Sensors Profile - - DSP1010 - Record Log Profile - - DSP1011 - Physical Asset Profile - - DSP1013 - Fan Profile - - DSP1015 - Power Supply Profile - - DSP1022 - CPU Profile - - DSP1023 - Software Inventory Profile - - DSP1026 - System Memory Profile - - DSP1033 - Profile Registration - - DSP1052 - Computer System Profile When I take that and compare it to our choices of implementations so far (SBLIM, OpenDRIM) we have the following situation: None of the SBLIM providers comply completely to any management profile as far as I can see in the code. However, at least parts of the following profiles are implemented (either released or unreleased provider code): - - DSP1002 - Diagnostics Profile - - DSP1004 - Base Server Profile - - DSP1010 - Record Log Profile - - DSP1011 - Physical Asset Profile - - DSP1012 - Boot Control Profile - - DSP1014 - Ethernet Port Profile - - DSP1016 - Telnet Service Profile - - DSP1017 - SSH Service Profile - - DSP1022 - CPU Profile - - DSP1023 - Software Inventory Profile - - DSP1026 - System Memory Profile - - DSP1033 - Profile Registration - - DSP1035 - Host LAN Network Port Profile - - DSP1036 - IP Interface Profile - - DSP1039 - Role Based Authorization Profile - - DSP1052 - Computer System Profile - - DSP1053 - Base Metrics Profile - - DSP1054 - Indications Profile - - DSP1061 - BIOS Management Profile - - DSP1075 - PCI Device Profile - - DSP1080 - Enabled Logical Element Profile The OpenDRIM providers seem to be a lot better here. They seem well designed in terms of profile compliance. The following profiles seem completely implemented: - - DSP1002 - Diagnostics Profile - - DSP1004 - Base Server Profile - - DSP1010 - Record Log Profile - - DSP1011 - Physical Asset Profile - - DSP1014 - Ethernet Port Profile - - DSP1026 - System Memory Profile - - DSP1033 - Profile Registration - - DSP1036 - IP Interface Profile - - DSP1052 - Computer System Profile - - DSP1053 - Base Metrics Profile - - DSP1054 - Indications Profile - - DSP1080 - Enabled Logical Element Profile According to available source in the upstream svn trunk the following profiles are implemented at least partly: - - DSP1009 - Sensors Profile - - DSP1012 - Boot Control Profile - - DSP1016 - Telnet Service Profile - - DSP1017 - SSH Service Profile - - DSP1022 - CPU Profile - - DSP1023 - Software Inventory Profile - - DSP1029 - OS Status Profile - - DSP1034 - Simple Identity Management Profile - - DSP1035 - Host LAN Network Port Profile - - DSP1038 - DNS Client Profile - - DSP1061 - BIOS Management Profile - - DSP1075 - PCI Device Profile - - DSP1077 - USB Redirection Profile - - DSP1086 - Media Redirection Profile Sorry if I forgot anything. Just doing a quick overview. So, in the end I think the OpenDRIM project really is the right way to go. Unfortunately as long as we have no GPL alternative to SFCB this won't go into main either.
