What would you like to be added:
We would like access to some of the dmi attributes under
/sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/
Recently
sys_vendor
was added via #1574 covering #1057, but would be helpful for us to have some others such asproduct_name
to further differentiate hardware vendor by model.I would also love having some of the other metadata available on nodes, such as bios version and serial number. These aren't so important for workload scheduling, and maybe doesn't exactly fit the exact original goal of NFD but if NFD could write the same type of node attributes to annotations on the nodes that would be helpful for us - plus it would allow for storing data in more complex format if required (e.g. ilo url, json, etc) that labels don't accept. The user could choose the target for the item (default label, or annotation) and keep track of important metadata directly on the node in k8s. The alternative is I create a custom local source, and these get added as labels which are indexed in etcd but sort of unnecessary and limits format.
Why is this needed:
sys_vendor
is available, but it is too vague if one has a mix of different models from the same vendor.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
