bmc firmware version

[shikuk]

As we need update firmwares of critical components and bmc is such one, add, please, bmc fw information.
As for me works

        command => "ipmitool bmc info"
        .........
        if ($line =~ /^Firmware Revision\s+:\s+(\d+\.\d+)/) {
            $bmc->{VERSION} = $1 unless $1 eq 'none';
        }
        if ($line =~ /^Manufacturer Name\s+:\s+(\w+)/) {
            $bmc->{PUBLISHER} = $1 unless $1 eq 'unknown';
        }
        ..........

but for some reasons FIRMWARES section not available for task inventory,
CONTROLLERS section shown without REV in GLPI,
so I send it as SOFTWARES and so i can get report about iLO/IDRAC firmware revisions

Maybe using a netinventory task could be more what you expect and should be possible if BMC cards supports SNMP. Otherwise we may need to enhanced some inventory protocol section, probably the REMOTE_MANAGEMENT one to even propose a dedicated remote management link in GLPI.

SNMP isn't always available.
And sure, REMOTE_MANAGEMENT looks better than SOFTWARES which one i use for this purpose
