Summary

The expectation is that there will be an endpoint in Redfish and we will need to implement this in the Hardware Status page similar to the other inventory items.

@derick-montague Since we know this is going on the Hardware Inventory / Status page (per Gunnar), should this belong to epic #1520 instead of #1532 ?

That makes sense. I'll make some updates.

[derick-montague]

Determined this will be an implementation story and design will help as needed.

#1475 (comment)

[derick-montague]

Updated title as there will only be support for PCIe devices. CAPI devices is future facing.

[derick-montague]

Based on discussion with Maury, this could be ready for implementation soon. Some questions we will need to ask are:

1. What schema will the PCIe devices use. I expect it to be the Assembly schema

[derick-montague]

I have created #3303 as the story to bring in the MEX drawer

• Still waiting on PCIe / CAPI devices API for inventory page #2010 for the API

Discussed with Maury and Gunnar possibly using the API mockup to hardcode the properties in the store to build and test the UI. If we go forward with this route it was suggested to push downstream until the backend is merged.

PCIe topology will be downstream for now, long term it will be upstream.

Can be done with MEX #3303 at the same time

CEC - central electronics complex
CEC is the server chassis & stuff in it

MEX drawer - sheet metal chassis w/ PCIe slots; connects to the main server chassis (CEC) with cables. Let's you increase the # of PCIe slots

CEC and MEX has PCIe slots in it

PCIe slots have LEDs

CEC = /redfish/v1/Chassis/chassis
MEX will another row on the chassis table

[dixsie]

Not needed, the table for Chassis/chassis is the CEC
