Extract Serial Console information via Redfish

[afritzler]

Summary

Currently we extract the serial console access from the MACDB. A more reliable approach would be to get the serial consol access information from the BMC directly via Redfish and store it in the BMC status.

Tasks

• Extend the BMC status field with serial console specific information
• Keep the current spec fields for the console details
• Extract via Redfish the console details if not provided in the spec and add it to the BMC status
• Add unit tests ensuring the correct behavior
• Make in the Endpoint reconciler ignoring the serial console details in the MACDB if not present

Do you have an example?
In our Dell servers there are no relevant information (most likely due to the service being disabled)

"SerialConsole": {
  "ConnectTypesSupported": [],
  "[email protected]": 0,
  "MaxConcurrentSessions": 0,
  "ServiceEnabled": false
},
