Thanks Vijay/Patrick for your comments. The feature we are working is different from vijay's feature. Out platform is multi host system and we have the host as FRU and it can be plugged in to a slot. The slot has an option to control slot power and this can be used for a AC cycle. We proposed a design to add the slot power control in the x86-power-control.The earlier discussion can be found in the below link. https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/openbmc/2020-August/022481.html ed tanous, I will create a clear document on when to use this slot power control feature.

I am working on enabling this feature in redfish. I am not sure how it is related to your new features. If it is related then you can also define system_reset target unit. Regards -Vijay From: "P.

I have modified the existing /xyz/openbmc_project/state/chassis0 object to implement 12V On, Off, and Power Cycle for system which has 12V Slot power support. If slotACPowerName is disabled and if, RequestedPowerTransition = "xyz.openbmc_project.State.Chassis.Transition.Off" then poweroff [existing functionality not changed] RequestedPowerTransition = "xyz.openbmc_project.State.Chassis.Transition.On" then powerOn [existing functionality not changed] RequestedPowerTransition = "xyz.openbmc_project.State.Chassis.Transition.PowerCycle" then PowerCycle [existing functionality not changed] events will be called. If slotACPowerName is enabled and if, RequestedPowerTransition = "xyz.openbmc_project.State.Chassis.Transition.Off" then 12V Ac Slot Off RequestedPowerTransition = "xyz.openbmc_project.State.Chassis.Transition.On" then 12V Ac Slot On RequestedPowerTransition = "xyz.openbmc_project.State.Chassis.Transition.PowerCycle" then 12V Ac Slot PowerCycle events will be called.
