What parts of the Redfish schema must be implemented and which are optional, so that one could say the implementation conforms to a given release (2020.4, say)? Or is there such a concept?
My team and I write and use Redfish code to configure BMCs from a number of vendors, and would understandably like to write as little code as possible. We often find that vendors claim to conform to a release (or a specification), but don't fully implement it, meaning we have to write alternative ways of performing actions. I'm not talking about the Oem stuff here. While 2 or 3 vendors may implement something simple like (as just one of many examples I could relate)
the 4th will not. The Redfish Resource and Schema Guide will describe MemorySummary, but does not say whether it is required for Schema conformance. If I run the RedfishService Validator against the implementation, there appears to be a concept of Optional and Required resources within, but the lack of MemorySummary above (again, just one example) will not cause a Validation failure.
In short, is there a way to know what I am getting from a given vendor, or a way to say "Thou Shalt conform to Release X or Specification Y"?
