[Blueprint servercloud-p-arm-system-management] Server System Mangement for ARM

-  ****WE NEED HARDWARE!!!!!!****
-  
-  *  IPMI
-  
-  ipmi tool / openipmi - do we need support for both?
-   * Yes, but in terms of priority, OpenIPMI is higher
-  
-  No DMI - Intel only for PCI - not available on ARM?

+ [jason-hobbs 11/11/03 - What is driving OpenIPMI being a higher priority? Is there some demand from some end users or other applications for OpenIPMI over ipmitool?]

+  No DMI - Intel only for PCI - not available on ARM?
  DMI consumers:
-   Landscape - serial number
-   libvirt requires DMI
-   monit
-   Facter?
-   SNMP
-   lshw
-   Any others?

  DMI emulation will be out of scope for Precise.
  IPMI consumers:
-   Orchestra
-   Cobbler
-   Nagios
-   SNMP
-  Cluster stack / STONITH
-   Any others?

  Work Items:
  1. Test OpenIPMI on ARM, including Orchestra and Cobbler which are IPMI consumers. Also consider Nagios. FreeIPMI, ipmitool
  2. Equivalent of DMI for ARM (for serial number etc)
  3. Upstart job for running serial login on correct serial port ttyS0 + ttyAMA (linaro builds have auto serial console)

  4. Calxeda to verify that OpenIPMI works on current hardware so this can be verified as early as possible in this cycle.

  All of this is dependent on hardware.
