Introduction 1.1. Project/Component Working Name: Extending HC FMRI scheme to represent sensors/indicators 1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier: Author: Robert Johnston 1.3 Date of This Document: 18 July, 2008 4. Technical Description This case updates PSARC/2002/412 to include the following additions to the hardware component (hc) FMRI scheme: The existing hc FMRI scheme allows for a heirarchial representation of hardware resources, according to their physical connection properties. However, this is not a very useful way to represent sensors and indicators in the topology because it does not allow for consumers to programmatically determine the association of sensors/indicators to the hardware resource that they're monitoring. Therefore this case seeks to extend the hc FMRI scheme to allow for this association to be represented using a new type of node in the topology: a facility node. A facility node is a special leaf node in the hc-scheme topology that represents either a sensor or an indicator. A fault managed resource may have one or more child facility nodes that represent sensors or indicators that are associated with it. The hc-scheme will be extended as shown below to allow for an addition facility node member: Name Data Type Description ---- --------- ----------- scheme string scheme used for FMRI version uint32 version of scheme specification authority nvlist optional authority of FMRI payload resource path facility nvlist facility component of FMRI The facility nvlist will have two members: Name Data Type Description ---- --------- ----------- facility-type string type of facility: "sensor" or "indicator" facility-name string name of the facility The string representation of an hc scheme FMRI will also be extended, as shown below: ://[authority]/[?=] where fac-type can be either "sensor" or "indicator" and fac-name is the name of the facility. for example: hc://:product-id=Sun-Fire-X4500:chassis-id=00-14-4F-20-E4-B0:server-id=lollipop/chassis=0/fanmodule=0/fan=0?sensor=speed hc://:product-id=Sun-Fire-X4500:chassis-id=00-14-4F-20-E4-B0:server-id=lollipop/chassis=0/bay=47?indicator=ok2rm 6.
