cannot read metadata and odata from Redfish official mockup

[wkevils]

I had installed nginx web server on a linux machine, and deployed a mockup from redfish site http://www.dmtf.org/sites/default/files/standards/documents/DSP2043_1.1.0.zip

I can run many queries successfully with this setup, like querying for Systems and Managers (see later on the output, which is OK). However, for metadat and odata I get 404 error:

python ./redfishtool.py -S Never -r 127.0.0.1 metadata redfishtool: Transport: Response Error: status_code: 404 -- Not Found

python ./redfishtool.py -S Never -r 127.0.0.1 odata redfishtool: Transport: Response Error: status_code: 404 -- Not Found

And with verbosity of 6, this is what I get: python ./redfishtool.py -vvvvvv -S Never -r 127.0.0.1 metadata

Any idea what can be the problem here?

As mentioned earlier, this is what I get with Systems and Managers (which seems ok)

For example python ./redfishtool.py -S Never -r 127.0.0.1 Systems { "@Redfish.Copyright": "Copyright 2014-2016 Distributed Management Task Force, Inc. (DMTF). For the full DMTF copyright policy, see http://www.dmtf.org/about/policies/copyright.", "Name": "Computer System Collection", "Members": [ { "@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Systems/437XR1138R2" } ], "@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Systems", "Members@odata.count": 1, "@odata.context": "/redfish/v1/$metadata#Systems", "@odata.type": "#ComputerSystemCollection.ComputerSystemCollection" }

python ./redfishtool.py -S Never -r 127.0.0.1 Managers { "@odata.context": "/redfish/v1/$metadata#Managers", "Name": "Manager Collection", "@Redfish.Copyright": "Copyright 2014-2016 Distributed Management Task Force, Inc. (DMTF). For the full DMTF copyright policy, see http://www.dmtf.org/about/policies/copyright.", "Members": [ { "@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Managers/BMC" } ], "@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Managers", "Oem": {}, "@odata.type": "#ManagerCollection.ManagerCollection", "Members@odata.count": 1 }

The problem is those mockups (with the exception of public-catfish) do not contain the $metadata or odata resources, so it would be impossible to ever read them. From the response you posted, it looks like you're running the public-rackmount1 mockup. Could you try this again with the public-catfish mockup?

In the end, we'll have to take this internal to refresh the mockups to contain the $metadata and odata resources.

[wkevils]

I tried with public-catfish (downloaded from https://github.com/openstack/python-redfish/blob/master/dmtf/DSP2043_1.1.0.zip) installed it and restated the nginx service.

python redfishtool.py -S Never -r 127.0.0.1 metadata redfishtool: Transport: Response Error: status_code: 403 -- Forbidden--user not authorized to perform action

And also (without -S Never): python redfishtool.py -r 127.0.0.1 metadata redfishtool: Transport: Response Error: status_code: 403 -- Forbidden--user not authorized to perform action

With odata it works: $python /work/src/Redfishtool/redfishtool.py -r 127.0.0.1 odata

python redfishtool.py -r 127.0.0.1 odata { "@odata.context": "/redfish/v1/$metadata", "value": [ { "name": "Service", "url": "/redfish/v1/", "kind": "Singleton" }, { "name": "Systems", "url": "/redfish/v1/Systems", "kind": "Singleton" }, { "name": "Chassis", "url": "/redfish/v1/Chassis", "kind": "Singleton" }, { "name": "Managers", "url": "/redfish/v1/Managers", "kind": "Singleton" }, { "name": "AccountService", "url": "/redfish/v1/AccountService", "kind": "Singleton" }, { "name": "SessionService", "url": "/redfish/v1/SessionService", "kind": "Singleton" }, { "name": "EventService", "url": "/redfish/v1/EventService", "kind": "Singleton" }, { "name": "JsonSchemas", "url": "/redfish/v1/JsonSchemas", "kind": "Singleton" }, { "name": "Registries", "url": "/redfish/v1/Registries", "kind": "Singleton" }, { "name": "Sessions", "url": "/redfish/v1/SessionService/Sessions", "kind": "Singleton" } ], "@Redfish.Copyright": "Copyright 2014-2016 Distributed Management Task Force, Inc. (DMTF). For the full DMTF copyright policy, see http://www.dmtf.org/about/policies/copyright." }

Any ideas why metadata does not work? does it work for you ?

[wkevils]

I see that in the public-catfish mockup, there is odata/index.json, but for the $metadata folder, there is only $metadata/index.xml, (no json file). What is expected to be under $metadata so that metadata request will work ? is a json file under $metadata is expected ?

[mraineri]

$metadata is an XML formatted document, so the file extension is .xml. I'm thinking the mockup server may only be capable of serving .json files. Can you try changing the file extension to .json and see if that corrects it?

[wkevils]

Following is what I get after renaming the extension to .json (the results seems OK). I also tried to add an "index.xml" in server section of the nginx config file (/etc/nginx/sites-available/default) and having only index.xml in the $metadata directory, and it also worked.

python /work/src/Redfishtool/redfishtool.py -S Never -r 127.0.0.1 metadata <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

[mraineri]

Thanks; in the end, this doesn't appear to be an issue with redfishtool. We'll migrate this issue to update DSP2043 to include the missing files, and give guidance when making local mockup servers like this to include both .json and .xml files.

[mraineri]

Closing 7/20: not a tool issue; the DSP bundle with the mockups will be refreshed in a future release cycle and is being tracked internally
