hi,
I am thinking about adding the Firmware Update of BMC feature to my redfish service and I found the UpdateService & SimpleUpdate in redfish schema.
I think I should add the firmware to the FirmwareInventory, and then, implement the #UpdateService.SimpleUpdate action to update the firmware.
According to the CSDL(http://redfish.dmtf.org/schemas/UpdateService_v1.xml)
When this action request is received, the server can download the image with ImageURI & TranferProtocol,
but I didn't find the parameter of which firmware/software to be updated.
If I got more than one BMC(Manager) connected, they each have an updatable firmware, how can I tell which to update from the action request?
