The Redfish standard is a suite of specifications that deliver an industry standard protocol providing a RESTful interface for the management of servers, storage, networking, and converged infrastructure.[1][2]

History

[edit]

The Redfish standard has been elaborated under the SPMF umbrella at the DMTF in 2014. The first specification with base models (1.0) was published in August 2015.[3] In 2016, Models for BIOS, disk drives, memory, storage, volume, endpoint, fabric, switch, PCIe device, zone, software/firmware inventory & update, multi-function NICs), host interface (KCS replacement) and privilege mapping were added. In 2017, Models for Composability, Location and errata were added.[4] There is work in progress for Ethernet Switching, DCIM, and OCP.

In August 2016, SNIA released a first model for network storage services (Swordfish[5]), an extension of the Redfish specification.

Redfish support on BMC

[edit]

Software using Redfish APIs

[edit]

Redfish libraries and tools

[edit]
  • DMTF libraries and tools[15]
  • GoLang gofish [16]
  • Mojo::Redfish::Client[17]
  • python-redfish[18]
  • Sushy[19]

Redfish is used by both proprietary software (such as HPE OneView) as well as open source software (such as OpenBMC).[20][21]
