Redfish update (2020.1 and WIP proposals)

[Gunnar Mills]

Redfish released 2020.1 last week, an overview can be found here: 
https://www.dmtf.org/sites/default/files/Redfish_Release_2020.1_Overview.pdf


It has features like Factory Reset (called ResetToDefaults in Redfish) 
and Auto Reboot (called AutomaticRetry) that OpenBMC uses. Pushed a 
commit to move bmcweb to 2020.1 here: 
https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz/c/openbmc/bmcweb/+/32188


Was seeing Redfish validator errors, that required a fix to the 
validator. This fix was part of the Redfish-Service-Validators 1.3.6 
release so after this 2020.1 commit goes in, you will need a version of 
Redfish-Service-Validators 1.3.6 or later. CI uses the master branch of 
Redfish-Service-Validator, which has this fix, so not a problem there.

Redfish to coincide with the OCP virtual summit last week also released 
several "Work in Progress" proposals.

I encourage you to review these and post feedback if you are interested. 
Some of the WIP proposals:

"Diagnostic Data Logging proposal" - This is the dump proposal by 
OpenBMC, some slight updates from the one proposed on the mailing list.


"Power and Thermal enhancement proposal" - Deprecates the current Power 
and Thermal schemas and replaces with a Power Subsystem schema and a 
Thermal Subsystem schema.  Adds new schemas for Fan and PowerSupply. All 
sensors will now be under the Sensor Collection and linked to the 
resource (e.g. Fan, Power Supply). https://imgur.com/a/evoeKjv


"Serial Console discovery enhancement proposal" - Moves KVM 
(GraphicalConsole in Redfish) and Virtual Media from Manager to under 
System. Adds a SerialConsole object under the System.


"Syslog Configuration proposal" - Managing syslog and rsyslog
