Description PaulB 2015-02-23 15:46:24 UTC
Description of problem:
 Recording the current version of bios for each system in Beaker would be an asset. This would allow for a quick reference to see if a system may require a bios update.

[] We would need the inventory job to be updated to capture the bios info.
   One of the following example data outputs would suffice:
   [root@amd-dinar-05 /]# dmidecode --type=0 | sed -n 5,8p
   BIOS Information
	Vendor: Phoenix Technologies Ltd.
	Version: RDN1505B
	Release Date: 06/05/2013
   
   -or-

   [root@amd-dinar-05 /]# dmidecode --type=0 | sed -n 6,8p
	Vendor: Phoenix Technologies Ltd.
	Version: RDN1505B
	Release Date: 06/05/2013

[] Data could be saved under "Bios" between the "System" and "CPU" data 
   on the Beaker->Details page.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
 Beaker 19.2
