Redfish Managers Resource

Table of Contents

Overview

The Managers resource represents management controller capabilities in the Redfish data model, providing access to Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) management functions through standardized Redfish interfaces. This resource is device-specific and handles the mapping of AMT management capabilities to DMTF-compliant Manager schema.

📋 PLANNING STATUS: This document represents future planning for Managers implementation in DMT Console. All endpoints and features described are currently in the analysis and design phase and are planned for future development.

Endpoint Overview:

  • Managers Collection - Retrieves all management controllers in the service
  • Individual Manager - Provides detailed manager information including AMT capabilities
  • Network Service Configuration - Manages network interfaces and remote access settings
  • Certificate Management - Handles digital certificates and security credentials
  • Virtual Media - Supports remote media mounting and management capabilities
  • Log Services - Provides system event logging and retrieval functionality

Implementation Guidelines

The Managers implementation must:

  1. AMT Integration: Seamlessly map Intel AMT management capabilities to Redfish Manager schema
  2. Standards Compliance: Maintain full compatibility with DMTF Redfish Manager standards
  3. Security: Implement robust security measures for management controller access
  4. Performance: Provide efficient access to AMT management functions
  5. Reliability: Ensure reliable management operations with appropriate error handling
  6. Compatibility: Support various AMT versions and capabilities
