Subject: [pve-devel] [PATCH v3 manager 1/2] report: overhaul `dmidecode` related output
Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2024 18:26:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240419162642.260130-1-a.zeidler@proxmox.com> (raw)

While using keywords (-t bios,...) would be possible, depending on the
server it also bloats the report with uninteresting information,
hiding the relevant. Therefore the non-grouped, specific number types
are used.

Where we only need specific information, not serial numbers
etc., we print the information from /sys/... which is the same source
that dmidecode uses per default.

New output includes:

 # cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/sys_vendor
 HP

 # cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_name
 ProLiant·DL380p·Gen8

 # cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_version
 Not·specified

 # cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/board_vendor
 ASUSTeK·COMPUTER·INC.

 # cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/board_name
 Z13PP-D32·Series

 # cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/board_version
 60SB09M0-SB0G11

`-t 0`:
 (like the previous "BIOS" output, but without "BIOS Language" block)

`-t 3`:
 Chassis Information
 	Manufacturer: HP
 	Type: Rack Mount Chassis
 	Boot-up State: Critical
 	Power Supply State: Critical
 	Thermal State: Safe
 	Number Of Power Cords: 2
 	(...)

and

`-t 32`:
System Boot Information
	Status: Firmware-detected hardware failure

which can hint to Proxmox-independant issues, debug-able via IPMI.

v3:
* as discussed also off-list, switch to `cat` for board and product
  output to avoid complexity

v2: https://lists.proxmox.com/pipermail/pve-devel/2024-April/063284.html
* reformat and extend board output
* add product output
* adapt dmidecode output

v1: https://lists.proxmox.com/pipermail/pve-devel/2024-March/062350.html
