Redfish schema supports multiple computer systems under redfish path "/redfish/v1/Systems/" Currently in bmcweb redfish core Computer systems path are is configured for as singlehost The redfish path computer system is given below "/redfish/v1/Systems/system” In case of multiple hosts can we use the following format. "/redfish/v1/Systems/system1” "/redfish/v1/Systems/system2” "/redfish/v1/Systems/system3” "/redfish/v1/Systems/system4” these paths should be populated based on the number of available hosts/computer systems Possible options to identify the host count are as given below: 1.pass the OBMC_HOST_INSTANCES as a macro definition to bmcweb 2.Query dbus objects which has individual instance available for each host using object mapper. Is there any other alternate way available for identifying host instances at runtime under bmcweb? if we use the above format then can we change the computer system for single host as given below "/redfish/v1/Systems/system0” Code reference : https://github.com/openbmc/bmcweb/blob/master/redfish-core/lib/systems.hpp method : requestRoutesSystemsCollection Thanks [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 22112 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

In general we only use configure options for things that cannot be dynamically discovered on dbus or via the mapper, or where different implementations of things exist that meet the same API (like log service). I don't think multi-host falls into either of those categories, as it can be seen on dbus. > 2.Query dbus objects which has individual instance available for each host using object mapper.

If possible could you also clarify the following : In redfish, /redfish/v1/Systems/system is used to store host/server related information. For LogServices, journal based logs are stored under the below path. /redfish/v1/Systems/system/LogServices/EventLog/Entries But few logs like sensor & FRU logs are related to BMC, which is displaying under system path. Could you please clarify why these logs are stored under this system path. Whether can we take this under different path.

Could you please clarify why these logs are stored under this system path. Because this path was analogous to the SEL log, and that part didn't really matter at the time when there was only a single host; It likely could be improved, although maintaining backward compatibility is going to be difficult. > Whether can we take this under different path.
