Overview
ISO/IEC 30115-2:2022 - "Information technology - Redfish scalable platforms management API specification - Part 2: Redfish Schema Supplement v2021.1" (published from DMTF DSP0268) is a normative supplement to the Redfish schema set. Intended primarily for Redfish Service developers and application software developers, this standard reproduces the authoritative (normative) description language from the Redfish Schema (DSP8010) bundle and adds supplemental normative text to clarify how specific properties and resources are to be used in implementations. Unlike the Redfish Resource and Schema Guide (DSP2046), this document incorporates the schema’s normative description text rather than end-user, informative descriptions.
Key topics and requirements
- Normative schema descriptions: Contains the exact, implementation-focused description text copied from the Redfish Schema (DSP8010) and added clarifications in v2021.1.
- Property and resource usage: Supplemental normative text explains expected semantics, constraints and correct usage of particular properties and resources.
- Common properties & payload annotations: Definitions and rules for properties shared across Redfish resources and annotations that affect payload handling and application behavior.
- Common objects and types: Normative details for objects such as Actions, Capacity, Identifier, IOStatistics, IPv4Address/IPv6Address, Location, Message, Redundancy, ReplicaInfo, Schedule, and others.
- Interoperability and conformance guidance: Provides the authoritative language implementers should follow to achieve consistent behavior across Redfish-compliant systems.
- Standards provenance: Prepared by DMTF (DSP0268) and adopted under the ISO/IEC JTC 1 PAS procedure - useful when assessing compliance and patent considerations.
Applications and who should use it
- Redfish Service developers: Implementers of server and platform management services who need the normative schema descriptions to ensure correct behavior and interoperability.
- Application and management software developers: Tooling and orchestration vendors building systems that consume Redfish APIs and require definitive semantics for properties and resources.
- OEMs and system integrators: Hardware and firmware teams implementing Redfish endpoints to guarantee standardized management interfaces.
- Test, QA and compliance teams: Use the normative text to design tests and validate implementations against the canonical schema language.
Practical uses include building Redfish-based BMC/ILO implementations, developing management consoles, automating firmware and hardware telemetry, and ensuring consistent data modeling across data-center orchestration tools.
