<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Mfg will be storing the MAC address and
UUID of the Barreleye system in the FRU VPD so that we can persist it better.
Couple questions:</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">1. The UUID is planned to be stored
in the motherboard VPD. Anybody has the info on which eeprom is the motherboard
VPD? Seems the only chips under /sys/bus/i2c/devices/ with vpd are the
ones from the i/o, expander, and hdd cards (0-0050, 6-0055, 6-0051).</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">2. The MAC is planned to be stored at
the end of the i/o board VPD. All of the FRU VPD follow the format of header->chassis_info->board_info->product_info.
The header contains the offset to the *_info areas. Without an offset to
the MAC (which would be stored after the product_info area), we could just
read passed the product_area and if it's not 0s, assume it's the MAC. Would
it be better to ask Mfg to add the offset to the MAC to header although
this breaks the IPMI formatting, or get the MAC into one of the custom
fields inside the product info area. Thoughts?</font><BR>
