We want to somehow publish the Management Controller (BMC) information, so that the user can query the same and get the details. A CIM provider will be a good solution to publish this information. We are primarily looking for a provider which publishes the "IP Address"  and the "URL" for accessing  of the Management Controller (BMC).


I had some offline discussions with Klaus and we are considering OOB_ManagementController class inheriting CIM_ManagementController. This OOB_ManagementController class will have the common properties like Network Address, Protocols supported etc.


The leaf class for example iDRAC_ManagementController will inherit OOB_ManagementController, extract the related IP Address with the right IPMI command and publish this information.

Does anyone have any inputs on the model we are considering?


Thank you
