Missing "NetworkAdapter" information on Redfish.

[KishenV]

Hi All,

I've a query with regards to the missing information related to the Network adapters on Redfish. I've got a couple of servers (Namely Proliant DL360 G10+ and Proliant DL180 G10), which has the Latest iLO Firmware loaded (v2.60). 

The DL360 and DL180 servers have `Intel Eth Adptr I350T4 OCPv3` and `HPE Eth 1G 2p 368i/10G 2p 568FLR-MMT Adptr`respectively. One common link between the two servers is that the adapter firmware version on servers is 1.2839.0. 

The following response is observed on redfish under /redfish/v1/Chassis/1/NetworkAdapters/

{

"@odata.context": "/redfish/v1/$metadata#NetworkAdapterCollection.NetworkAdapterCollection",

"@odata.etag": "W/\"F303ECE9\"",

"@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Chassis/1/NetworkAdapters/",

"@odata.type": "#NetworkAdapterCollection.NetworkAdapterCollection",

"Description": "The collection of network adapter resource instances available in this chassis.",

"Name": "NetworkAdapterCollection",

"Oem":{

"Hpe":{

"@odata.context": "/redfish/v1/$metadata#HpeNetworkAdapterStatus.HpeNetworkAdapterStatus",

"@odata.type": "#HpeNetworkAdapterStatus.v1_0_0.HpeNetworkAdapterStatus",

"MemberContents": "AllDevices"

}

},

"Members":[],

"Members@odata.count": 0

}

While another server in the inventory (ProLiant DL 380) which has a Broadcom card (10Gb 2-port Base-T BCM57416 OCP3 Adapter) installed has the following  information regarding adapters available in Redfish. The following is the response seen under /redfish/v1/Chassis/1/NetworkAdapters/
Redfish response:

{

"@odata.context": "/redfish/v1/$metadata#NetworkAdapterCollection.NetworkAdapterCollection",

"@odata.etag": "W/\"C321D970\"",

"@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Chassis/1/NetworkAdapters/",

"@odata.type": "#NetworkAdapterCollection.NetworkAdapterCollection",

"Description": "The collection of network adapter resource instances available in this chassis.",

"Name": "NetworkAdapterCollection",

"Oem":{

"Hpe":{

"@odata.context": "/redfish/v1/$metadata#HpeNetworkAdapterStatus.HpeNetworkAdapterStatus",

"@odata.type": "#HpeNetworkAdapterStatus.v1_0_0.HpeNetworkAdapterStatus",

"MemberContents": "AllDevices"

}

},

"Members":[

{

"@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Chassis/1/NetworkAdapters/DC07A000/"

}

],

"Members@odata.count": 1

}

Can someone please help in understanding if Redfish will fail to display information regarding the adapters if Manufactured by HPE/Intel? or are there any alternatives to have the adapter related information available on Redfish? 

Thanks in Advance.

Hey ManBha,
The servers are loaded with iLO 5 v2.60. Is it suggested to downgrade to check support for the network adapters in iLO v2.55.

Please let me know your thoughts.


Thanks,

Hello,

Yes, please do try performing it on one server to isolate the issue.

Thanks.

Hey ManBha, 

I'd tried this route, but the information regarding the NetworkAdapters is still unavailable on Redfish.

Thanks,
