Hi Abner,

Since this is moving content from edk2-platforms to edk2, we need to make sure that migration
is coordinated with the edk2-platforms owners for the IPMPI feature and we have a transition plan
for all downstream platform DSC files to use the content from the new location.  These types
of changes can be very disruptive.

Also, since IPMI is an industry standard, it is allowed to add libraries that support industry
standards to the MdePkg.  How was MdeModulePkg selected vs MdePkg?

Thanks,

Mike

Sure Mike, I had CC IPMI owners to review edk2 IPMI related patch sets.
This change doesn't have a big impact on edk2-platforms because all the references of IpmiCommandLib under edk2-platfoms are in IpmiFeaturePkg itself. The old IpmiCommandLib.h will be still under IpmiFeaturePkg/include for now, but the definitions of new functions should be added
to the one under MdeModulePkg. However the edk2-platorms one should be removed soon (it is better) or later (means the IpmiFeaturePkg re-architecture, email attached).

IPMI is the industry standard however the implementation of API for each NetFn is not, this is the first consideration I had. Second, there is already a IpmiLib under MdeModulePkg that led me to create IpmiCommandLib under MdeModulePkg. 
BTW, there is problem we have to fix, IpmiLib provide the function to send/receive IPMI NetFn, while the same function provided by IpmiFeaturePkg under edk2-platform has the different library class naming, which is IpmiBaseLib.

Thanks
Abner

Thanks and sure, I will kick off the discussion on the mailing list.

Abner,



From my perspective, this looks reasonable.  I think that we need to have the actual discussion on the mailing list so that our various customers can weigh in on the design and implementation.



Regards,

Isaac

[AMD Official Use Only - General]



Hi Liming, Nate and Isaac,

This is Abner from AMD. I am writing to let you know that Nvidia and AMD is going propose a new package ManageabilityPkg under edk2-platforms/Features. We would like to provide the Feature driver, Protocol driver instance and transport implementation that includes PLDM, MCTP, IPMI and KCS industry standard under ManageabilityPkg for the server management. The concept of this package is to provide the driver stacks as shown in the below drafting,







We may also pull IpmiFeaturePkg out of Intel/OutOfBandManagement folder. Thus the IpmiFeaturePkg can be referred by the edk2 driver (e.g., Modules under RedfishPkg) without the Intel folder in the INF package section or add edk2-platforms/Feature/Intel to the PACKAGES_PATH (add edk2-platform to packages path is required) for the build. We will take care the backward compatibility issues of IpmiFeaturePkg relocation, however can only cover the issues in the scope of edk2-platform.



How do you think?



Thanks and Regards,

Abner

Hi all,

In order to having the full edk2 driver stack for the server manageability, we are going to propose a new package ManageabilityPkg under edk2-platforms/Features. We would like to have a package that can provide a simple framework to flexibly accommodate the manageability feature driver (e.g. PLDM, IPMI, Redfish), Protocol driver instance (e.g. MCTP) and transport implementation (e.g. KCS/I2C/PCIe VDM) for the server management. Below are the steps we would take for this work,

1.      The first step we would take is to move IpmiFeaturePkg out of edk2-platforms/Features/Intel/OutOfBandManagement/. Thus the IpmiFeaturePkg can be referred by the edk2 driver (e.g., Modules under RedfishPkg) without the Intel folder in the INF package section or add edk2-platforms/Features/Intel to the PACKAGES_PATH for the build (add edk2-platforms/Features to packages path is still required). We will take care of the backward compatibility issues of IpmiFeaturePkg relocation, however we can only cover the build issues in the scope of edk2-platforms repo.
2.      After this we will abstract the transport implementation from  IPMI Transport protocol, so the IPMI protocol can flexibly  incorporate with other transport implementations.
3.      Add IPMI feature driver/library (e.g. IPMI Redfish bootstrap account Credential)
4.      Add MCTP and PLDM driver stack with the same concept as IpmiFeaturePkg



Any recommendations to this work?

Thanks

Abner
