Bmcweb redfish multiple host support

[Naveen Moses S]

Hello All,

I need your suggestion on implementing support for  multiple computer systems or hosts under redfish implementation of BMCWEB.

Redfish schema supports multiple computer systems under  redfish path "/redfish/v1/Systems/"

Currently in bmcweb redfish core Computer systems path are is configured for as singlehost

The redfish path computer system is given below
"/redfish/v1/Systems/system”

In case of multiple hosts can we use the following format.

"/redfish/v1/Systems/system1”
"/redfish/v1/Systems/system2”
"/redfish/v1/Systems/system3”
"/redfish/v1/Systems/system4”

these paths should be populated based on the number of available hosts/computer systems

Possible options to identify the host count are as given below:
1.pass the OBMC_HOST_INSTANCES as a macro definition to bmcweb
2.Query dbus objects which has individual instance available for each host using object mapper.

Is there any other alternate way available for identifying host instances at runtime under bmcweb?


if we use the above format then can we change the computer system for single host

as given below

"/redfish/v1/Systems/system0”

method : requestRoutesSystemsCollection



Thanks
