<br>
This is my first post to the hardware management list. I'm Brad, I work for IBM and I'm the TSC chair of the OpenBMC project. I've cross posted to both the OCP HW management mailing list and the OpenBMC project mailing list because I expect both audiences are interested in the discussion.<br>
<br>
My question is mostly simple - The answers will likely not be. I would like to know whatever anyone is willing to share about in-band hardware management plans in a post-IPMI world. By in-band I mean applications (or firmware) running on host processors in the same server as a BMC.<br>
<br>
Will you use Redfish? PLDM? A mix? From host firmware? From Windows? From Linux? From virtualized OSes? From un-virtualized OSes?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
