This update
1. Refactors some of the common maintenance ipmi
definitions and utilities into a more generic
'bmcUtil' module to reduce code duplication and improve
improve code reuse with the introduction of a second
bmc communication protocol ; redfish.
2. Creates a new 'redFishUtil' module similar to the existing
'ipmiUtil' module but in support of common redfish
utilities and definitions that can be used by both
maintenance and the hardware monitor.
3. Moves the existing 'mtcIpmiUtil' module to a more common
'mtcBmcUtil' and renames the 'ipmi_command_send/recv' to
the more generic 'bmc_command_send/recv' which are enhanced
to support both ipmi and redfish bmc communication methods.
4. Renames the bmc info collection and connection monitor ;
'bm_handler' to 'bmc_handler' and adds support necessary
to learn if a host's bmc supports redfish.
5. Renames the existing 'mtcThread_ipmitool' to a more common
'mtcThread_bmc' and redfishtool support for the now common
set of bmc thread commands and the addition of the new
redfishtool bmc query, aka 'redfish root query', used to
detect if a host's bmc supports redfish.
Note: This aspect is the primary feature of this update.
Namely the ability to detect and print a log indicating
if a host's bmc supports redfish.
Test Plan:
PASS: Verify sensor monitoring and alarming still works.
PASS: Verify power-off command handling.
PASS: Verify power-on command handling.
PASS: Verify reset command handling.
PASS: Verify reinstall (netboot) command handling.
PASS: Verify logging when redfish is not supported.
PASS: Verify logging when redfish is supported.
PASS: Verify ipmitool is used regardless of redfish support.
PASS: Verify mtce thread error handling for both protocols.
