ISO/IEC 30115:2018: The Redfish Scalable Platforms Management API (“Redfish”) is a new specification that uses RESTful interface semantics to access data defined in model format to perform out-of-band systems management. It is suitable for a wide range of servers, from stand-alone servers to rack mount and bladed environments but scales equally well for large scale cloud environments. There are several out-of-band systems management standards (defacto and de jour) available in the industry. They all either vary widely in implementation, were developed for single server embedded environments or have their roots in antiquated software modeling constructs. There is no single industry standard that is simple to use, based on emerging programming standards, embedded friendly and capable of meeting large scale data center & cloud needs.

TPM is now an ISO standard.
Hurray, now I get to pay to access them from ISO. 🙂
TCG’s current specs are for members-only, not the public.
I hope TCG keeps the public specs on their site freely-available.

tool: ebiso: UEFI bootable ISO image creator

~ hucktech ~ Leave a comment

Vladimir Gozora just created ebiso, an UEFI bootable ISO image creator, a newly-created UEFI-centric project on Github. It is so

The Primary intention of ebiso was to create simple bootable UEFI ISO image for ReaR on SLES11.

*  currently supports only 8.3 file name convention (Joliet might follow in future)
*  no additional dependencies
*  released under GPL
*  currently under heavy testing 😉
*  more info will come (maybe)

The project is new, unclear if it’ll work with non-SLES11 ISOs. Ebiso aside, rear looks like an interesting project as well:

Relax-and-Recover is the leading Open Source bare metal disaster recovery and system migration solution. It is a modular framework with many ready-to-go workflows for common situations. Relax-and-Recover produces a bootable image. This image can repartition the system. Once that is done it initiates a restore from backup. Restores to different hardware are possible. Relax-and-Recover can therefore be used as a migration tool as well. Currently Relax-and-Recover supports various boot media (incl. ISO, PXE, OBDR tape, USB or eSATA storage), a variety of network protocols (incl. sftp, ftp, http, nfs, cifs) as well as a multitude of backup strategies (incl. IBM TSM, HP DataProtector, Symantec NetBackup, Bacula, rsync).
