Support for OEM Systems

[geissonator]

When partners wish to build a system based on IBM hardware, we need to ensure we provide a mechanism for them to do this. For example, they'll want a way to put their own logo in the web interface.

Some other things to consider:

• A custom hostname
• A different IPMI IANA number
• Other minor web interface customizations

The direction for P10 is to have a field in the VPD which will indicate the type of system. We'll use a service like that in ibm-openbmc/openbmc@69ae2e0 to ensure the correct logo is loaded.

This story will track the following:

• Enhance ibm-openbmc/openbmc@69ae2e0 to support p10bmc systems. It must support:
  • IBM Systems
  • IPS Systems
  • OEM Systems

Need details from @santoshpuranik (?) on what VPD keyword will be used for this and what the different possible values are.

A custom hostname should not be needed as the default is just "p10bmc" now which should be fine for all system types.

I'm not sure if a different IPMI IANA number is needed or not.

We should follow the design in ibm-openbmc/openbmc@69ae2e0
No changes to the GUI or bmcweb needed here

ok, so as Gunnar mentioned, this is going to look at lot like ibm-openbmc/openbmc@69ae2e0

The work:

• @kennyneedsmilky is working on a change to the GUI code to make the logo file names generic (they were switched to something more IBM specific in vue). Once he has that, we'll update this issue with new file names.
• The files to override are in /usr/share/www/img/ on eBMC p10bmc images
• Instead of using the Model, we're going to use the Brand. To get the Brand in your script, use the following:

busctl get-property xyz.openbmc_project.Inventory.Manager /xyz/openbmc_project/inventory/system xyz.openbmc_project.Inventory.Decorator.Asset SubModel

S0 || D0 = IBM
J0 = IPS (need IPS to confirm this)
ANYTHING ELSE = OEM

All of this should be built into the p10bmc image so it will support all 3 Brands in a single image.

The needed GUI change is merged up at ibm-openbmc/webui-vue@924cd30

Handle now changed to @kennyfully88 . Sorry for the confusion
