Tuesday, October 15th
1:00pm to 5:00pm PT
San Jose Convention Center
Room Information:
SJCC
Lower Level
Room LL20D
This manageability workshop, presented by DMTF, contained the latest updates on infrastructure management & security from DMTF member companies, many of which are also active in OCP projects around hardware management, security & open-source development.
This workshop included the latest information as well as unpublished developments that affect the OCP manageability & security community from industry experts at DMTF and the industry. There were updates on Redfish Telemetry & Tools, OpenBMC, GPU management, SPDM and the latest information on MCTP, PLDM and FRU enhancements. Many of these updates will affect the control plane as well as the data plane in products in the industry.

Redfish Telemetry
Jeff Autor, OCP HW mgmt project co-lead and DMTF Redfish Forum co-chair Abstract:This session will present a proposal to add streaming telemetry support to the Redfish standard. The new capability would create a publish-subscribe mechanism to receive telemetry from user-defined feeds, as well as a standardized format for file-based telemetry reports. The methods proposed are intended to leverage the Redfish data model, and to provide an easy path for both service implementers and clients to adopt. |

Redfish Tools (or how to use Redfish in the real world) Mike Raineri, DMTF Redfish Forum co-chair Abstract:Learn about Redfish client tools published by DMTF. DMTF maintains public GitHub repositories for Redfish client tools and libraries. Redfish Tacklebox and Redfish Trawler are two such tools for performing common management operations with a Redfish service. Redfish Tacklebox contains a set of command line utilities suited for simple console usage. Redfish Trawler is a browser-based client GUI to provide a richer user experience. |

OpenBMC Support for Redfish
Gunnar Mills Abstract:OpenBMC is a Linux Foundation open-source project for baseboard management controllers (BMC) firmware. OpenBMC's webserver, bmcweb, includes a Redfish implementation. OpenBMC continues to add Redfish schemas and properties and is working with the Redfish Forum to add features that are not currently in Redfish.

GPU Profiles for Hyperscale use cases
Hari Ramachandran Siva Sathappan Linda Wu Abstract:The OCP GPU Management Interfaces Working Group is a collaboration between CSPs and GPU platform vendors that created a Redfish Interoperability Profile for GPU tray management. The presentation will showcase (1) How Redfish Interoperability Profiles helps to test the compliance for Hyperscalers; (2) The GPU Management Interface working group's contributions to Redfish Interoperability Validator; (3) Details on vendor adoption of Redfish Interoperability Profiles and the challenges faced including a video demonstration of Redfish Interoperability Profile compliance validated against real GPU vendor platforms.

Policy Model
John Leung Abstract:A Redfish policy resource can be created to form control loops with the existing sensor and control resources. A power management model has been proposed to manage these policy resources and allow Redfish clients to delegate autonomous policies to a Redfish service. This session will review the model which has been posted as a work-in-progress.

PQC for SPDM
Jeff Hilland, DMTF President and DMTF SPDM WG co-chair Brett Henning, DMTF SPDM WG co-chair Abstract:The need for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) touches everything that security planners and implementers do. The SPDM Working Group understands the urgent need for solutions that are PQC ready, and is meeting the industry’s needs. This session will cover the pressing need for PQC solutions, and how the SPDM WG plans to get there. The session will give special attention to changes that consumers of the SPDM standard can expect as well as the release roadmap and factors that gate the specification release. |

SPDM for TCP
Xiaoyu Ruan Eduardo Cabre Abstract:The SPDM (Security Protocol and Data Model) is a transport-agnostic protocol between two endpoints (Requester and Responder) supporting various emerging security use cases for discrete and integrated devices. Use cases supported by the latest version, SPDM 1.3, include authentication, attestation, event logging, session key establishment, and event notification. To implement SPDM on devices, transport-binding specifications have been developed, including SPDM over MCTP, SPDM over PCIe, and SPDM over CXL. This presentation focuses on the binding of SPDM to the TCP transport. We will introduce TCP connection establishment models, new SPDM request/response messages created for TCP use cases, and example applications.

PQC Impact on I2C
Paul Kaler Abstract:As Quantum Computing edges closer to reality, one key area of concern is its ability to break today’s encryption algorithms. This has led to the development of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms and the ongoing standardization of algorithms specified in the Commercial National Security Algorithm Suite 2.0 (CNSA 2.0). Currently I2C is the predominant sideband interface of choice used by a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) to manage devices (e.g., NVMe, GPUs, NICs, CPLDs, backplanes) in a server. To enable a secure supply chain, many of these devices have incorporated Hardware Roots of Trust, Digitally Signed firmware, and DMTF’s Security Protocol and Data Model (SPDM) for authentication and attestation of firmware. In this talk, we will discuss how the new PQC signatures—which are much larger than commonly used digital signatures—will make I2C impractical as an interface for SPDM and what the industry can do about it.

MCTP and PLDM Enhancements for Advanced OCP Use Cases
Patrick Caporale, DMTF VP of Marketing and PMCI WG co-chair Hemal Shah, DMTF Senior VP of Technology and OCP HW mgmt project co-lead Abstract:OCP has been leveraging DMTF Management Components Transport Protocols (MCTP) and Platform Level Data Model (PLDM) for the management of accelerators (OAMs) and OCP NICs. MCTP specifications have been extended to cover new physical media bindings and host interfaces. PLDM specifications recently added support for file transfer, multi-part data transfers, CXL memory model, and accelerator management. In this talk, we will describe the latest updates to MCTP, and PLDM specifications, and how they can be leveraged for advanced OCP use cases.

FRU Format & Data Transfer
Jim Harford Abstract:DMTF has proposed a new FRU specification which will leverage modern data formats and resolve current limitations with existing approaches for FRU data. This session will provide the details on the new format and data transfer along with how it can be extended for use by other industry organizations.
