Read FRU of host through ipmi in Entity manager.

[Kumar Thangavel]

Classification: HCL Internal
Hi All,

         We are working on the Platform which has multi host and the host are FRUs.  The host and BMC communication is based on IPMB. We have each host is connected in separate ipmb bus.
         Existing Entity manager has the FRU read info from EEPROM (I2C)in the form of bin file.
         We understand that entity manager does not support ipmb based host fru.

         So, we are proposing the design to support ipmb based FRU in entity manager.
         From Entity manager, we will send the generic "read host fru" command request to ipmbbrige to read the host FRU.
         Then, store the host fru info in the bin file to process and creating dbus objects in the entity manager.

         Please let us know your comments on this.

Thanks,
Kumar.
