Redfish Query for Host OS Network Interfaces #281

Open mtramont opened 4 months ago

mtramont commented 4 months ago

Environment: iDRAC 9 Firmware Version 7.00.00.00 with iSM in Running state.

Redfish REST Query "/redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/EthernetInterfaces" from (GetOSNetworkInformationREDFISH.py) returns 0 members, however a CIM session query returns the correct data.

Redfish REST Query "/redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/EthernetInterfaces" Output:

{ "@odata.context": "/redfish/v1/$metadata#EthernetInterfaceCollection.EthernetInterfaceCollection", "@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/EthernetInterfaces", "@odata.type": "#EthernetInterfaceCollection.EthernetInterfaceCollection", "Description": "Collection of Ethernet Interfaces for this System", "Members": [], "Members@odata.count": 0, "Name": "System Ethernet Interface Collection" }

Example CIM Session Output:

Hi @mtramont

On the same server can you try this RACADM command and see if it reports correct OS network information (racadm gethostnetworkinterfaces)? If RACADM command works this is a known Redfish product bug which is currently being looked into by internal teams at Dell.

Thanks Tex

Yes the RACADM "gethostnetworkinterfaces" function, as well as a CIM session query, reports the correct OS network information. Which versions of Redfish are affected by this bug?

texroemer commented 4 months ago

Can you share what version of iDRAC and iSM is running on the server with the issue.

mtramont commented 4 months ago

iDRAC9, Lifecycle Controller 7.00.00.00, Dell EMC iDRAC Service Module Embedded Package v3.5.1 A00, iSM Installed Version on Host OS 5.2.0.0

Thanks for the firmware version details, can you also confirm what server model you see the issue on, is it VxRail or a different model?

mtramont commented 4 months ago

Here are my test results against (1) PowerEdge Server and (2) VxRail Nodes. The RedFish query against the PowerEdge server produces results, although the NIC device list is incomplete. The RedFish query against 2 different VxRail node models produces zero results. So does this issue only affect VxRail nodes?

Model: PowerEdge R440 iDRAC Version: 9 iDRAC Firmware Version: 6.10.30.20 iSM Installed Version on Host OS: 5.0.1.0 Redfish Query: Returns 1 NIC device: vmk0 RACADM & CIM Query: Returns 3 NIC devices: lo0, vmk0, vmk1

Model: VxRail E560 iDRAC Version: 9 iDRAC Firmware Version: 7.00.00.00 iSM Installed Version on Host OS: 5.2.0.0 Redfish Query: Returns 0 NIC devices RACADM & CIM Query: Returns 4 NIC devices: lo0, vmk0, vmk1, vmk2

Model: VxRail P580N iDRAC Version: 9 iDRAC Firmware Version: 5.10.30.201 iSM Installed Version on Host OS: 4.1.0.0 Redfish Query: Returns 0 NIC devices RACADM & CIM Query: Returns 5 NIC devices: lo0, vmk0, vmk1/vusb0, vmk2, vmk3 (missing vmk4 & vmk5 which are also not displayed in iDRAC)

Thanks for the config details this helps. So there's an issue with both PowerEdge and VxRail servers as you stated, PowerEdge will show partial details and VxRail will report no details.

Still working with internal teams to get you an ETA on when the fix will be available (looks to be an iSM bug btw not iDRAC). For now you'll need to leverage RACADM as a workaround solution.
