Cloud based dynamic redfish schema updates based on run time hardware changes

Abstract

In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a BMC. The BMC detects the addition of a new device to a server it manages. The BMC determines that it lacks the capability to manage the new device. The BMC sends a request to a cloud service for a manageability bundle for the new device. The BMC receives the manageability bundle from the cloud service. The manageability bundle includes schema metadata and a backend service for managing the new device. The BMC installs or updates a schema of a management model based on the schema metadata and installs the backend service. The BMC exposes management capabilities for the new device through an interface of the management model without requiring a firmware update or reboot of the BMC.
