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 Additional info:
Paul, thanks for the useful tips about dmidecode for capturing the version info. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1162317 ***
