Good ways to represent the version of the Redfish instance? Jul 8, 2024 16:11:14 GMT

Hi, I'm looking at ways of representing the software version of a Redfish implementation.

The Manager-> FirmwareVersion is more for a whole BMC build, not its particular software components.

So far, the best options that I've come up with are:

- Define Oem in Manager-> AdditionalFirmwareVersions-> Oem-> /Company/ -> Redfish
- Define a whole new entry in SoftwareInventory or FirmwareInventory just to store this one string.

Any other ideas?

Using Oem in "AdditionalFirmwareVersions" would be the preferred way. Unless the Redfish stack itself is individually updatable with its own image and you preserve everything else in the BMC, then showing its own instance in the FirmwareInventory would be misleading.
