Physical Server: Firmware Update

Below please find a complete list of the PRs to support this functionality.

a) Firmware Registry

b) Firmware Update Process


With this commit we implement internal state machine that carries out the firmware update process. We only request a single task no matter the number of servers to update firmware for because Redfish supports such bulk operation.

At this very moment we are not able to poll for update process status yet so we assume it succeeds immediately. Later, when redfish_client gem supports async operation polling, we'll be able to enhance this state machine as well.

The state machine and operation implementations are both fine:yes as far as I am concerned. There are a few minor issues with the Redfish fields that I described in the inline comments, but nothing major.

Thanks for great work this far.

You can write this as response = update_service.Actions["#UpdateService.SimpleUpdate"].post(:field => "target", ...).

If the Redfish service started the firmware update operation, it will return status 202, not 200.

And a nitpick: all of the RedfishClient::Responses that are returned by the Redfish client are guaranteed to return integer status, so no need to call to_i here.

update_action = update_service.Actions['#UpdateService.SimpleUpdate']
requested = update_action['TransferProtocol@Redfish.AllowableValues']
requested ||= begin
info = update_action['TransferProtocol@Redfish.ActionInfo'].Parameters.find { |p| p.Name == 'TransferProtocol' }

update_action["@Redfish.ActionInfo"] is the action info field name. And some semi-broken implementations provide none of the inspected fields, in which case we will get some nil related exception. We should probably do something like this here:

params = update_action['@Redfish.ActionInfo']&.Parameters || []
params.find { |p| p.Name == 'TransferProtocol' }&.AllowableValues

Oh boy, was hoping that server either supports update_action or not. This fine=no :)

info = update_action['TransferProtocol@Redfish.ActionInfo'].Parameters.find { |p| p.Name == 'TransferProtocol' }
info&.AllowableValues
end
raise MiqException::MiqFirmwareUpdateError, 'Redfish supports zero transfer protocols' if requested.empty?

requested can be nil if both methods for obtaining supported protocols fail.

@agrare the dependent core PR has been merged hence we're solid green here. I think @tadeboro was doing demo with this exact code few days ago so I'm confident it should work 💪
