Virtual Redfish BMC Support on VMs

[flightofthebumble]

Hi Folks,
I am looking to see if I can get Redfish BMC support on Proxmox VMs, so I can utilize these API calls: https://docs.openstack.org/sushy-tools/latest/user/dynamic-emulator.html

In my current role, I need to go beyond standard IPMI calls for security and additional functionality when spinning up multiple VMs at the same time. We have a number of Dell/HPE servers and utilizing iDRAC/iLO commands in ansible plays can be a bit time consuming. We would like to use Redfish to standardize BMC commands when deploying VM clusters. Does anyone know if there is support for a VirtualBMC in Proxmox, that is Redfish compliant (https://www.dmtf.org/standards/redfish)?

Thanks for any advice, in advance.

I would love to see Redfish APIs in Proxmox as well.

Ive done that for esxi before. And doing my first proxmox build, so if no one else has one, I can do that.

Sounds interesting

Nice. would love to see redfish support in proxmox too

This was developed to create an OpenStack cluster and have some VMs to emulate the bare-metal servers to be managed by Ironic. I didn't have a chance yet to test with Ironic.

This is very promising. I just played around with it for a bit, and it looks like it could be a great option for use with Ironic (my use case as well).

Alright, well I ended up creating a whole project around this request, starting from the nice work that Jorge did. It just needed a bit more work and features for my use case (which is deploying OpenShfit/OpenStack for development and using the VMs for Metal3/Ironic endpoints). The project can be found here: https://github.com/v1k0d3n/proxmox-redfish

This is awesome! Created an account just to show my appreciation!

Sounds like a few of us are labbing or learning Openshift/Openstack with this -
can’t wait to set this up and have a go at it.
