DPU Chassis

The Redfish Chassis schema provides a structured and standardized way to represent essential information about the physical infrastructure of computing systems (i.e., the NVIDIA® BlueField®), offering valuable insights for system administrators, data center operators, and management software developers.

The BlueField chassis encompasses all system components, which include the Bluefield_BMC, Bluefield_ERoT, and Card1 (which represents the BlueField).

Chassis Card1 NetworkAdapters

The NetworkAdapters schema specifically aims to standardize NIC management and representation. This schema includes a collection under NvidiaNetworkAdapter where each element holds the following fields:

• Ports 

  The following is an example of the network port associated with eth0. Note that the naming conventions may differ depending on your device configuration. 

  curl -k -u root:'PASSWORD' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X GET https://<IP>/redfish/v1/Chassis/Card1/NetworkAdapters/NvidiaNetworkAdapter/Ports/eth0
  

  Example output: 

  {
    "@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Chassis/Card1/NetworkAdapters/NvidiaNetworkAdapter/Ports/eth0",
    "@odata.type": "#Port.v1_6_0.Port",
    "CurrentSpeedGbps": 200,
    "Id": "eth0",
    "LinkNetworkTechnology": "Ethernet",
    "LinkStatus": "LinkUp",
    "Name": "Port"
  }
  

  
  

• NetworkDeviceFunctions 

  The following is an example of the network device function for eth0f0 (i.e., eth0 function 0). Note that the naming conventions may differ depending on your device configuration.

  curl -k -u root:'PASSWORD' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X GET https://<IP>/redfish/v1/Chassis/Card1/NetworkAdapters/NvidiaNetworkAdapter/NetworkDeviceFunctions/eth0f0
  

  Example output: 

  {
    "@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Chassis/Card1/NetworkAdapters/NvidiaNetworkAdapter/NetworkDeviceFunctions/eth0f0",
    "@odata.type": "#NetworkDeviceFunction.v1_9_0.NetworkDeviceFunction",

      "PhysicalPortAssignment": {

      }
    },
