Is there anything in the RF spec that defines reporting BIOS POST codes? We have a vendor that supports this with an OEM extension, but I was curious if there is a DMTF compliant method to query/report this data.

We don't have a direct mapping of BIOS progress codes as in the 1 byte hex value that's captured by the BMC. The problem we run into with that level of raw detail is every BIOS vendor has their own mapping of progress codes, so it becomes an interop issue.
However, we do have a standard property in the "BootProgress" object where "LastState" contains a well-defined enum that the manager should map their respective BIOS codes to, and if needed, an "OemLastState" property if they really need to show a state that doesn't map to anything in the enum list. I would recommend this as a starting point for that type of information.

Ah got it, thank you for the quick reply. I'll work with our vendors to standardize on BootProgress.
