Chassis sled cycle

[Vijay Khemka]

William,
I am not worried by that I am just considering that one has to implement that unit file as well.
Rather than triggering unit file why can’t we trigger gpio or i2c command based on configuration
Provided by each platform.

The target is just that file. Platform specific services add themselves as WantedBy. You shouldn't really need to worry about that part as triggering the service will cause them to run.

    This feature is implemented on some systems using an IPMI OEM command:
    https://github.com/openbmc/google-ipmi-sys#delayedhardreset---subcommand-0x03

    It currently just activates the systemd target
    gbmc-psu-hardreset.target and lets you register services to do the
    actual hotswap reset (usually by toggling a GPIO). Having a unified
    solution in x86-power-control for this would be great!

Ben, Can you please share content of
 https://github.com/openbmc/google-ipmi-sys/blob/master/gbmc-psu-hardreset.target
as my assumption is each platform needs to provide this file but I couldn't find any platform
using this. I only found reference in meta-quanta which is deleting this file. So please
provide a reference to this file.
