Handling VirtualMedia under Systems path (HPE Superdome Redfish)
Hi all, I'm working with HPE Superdome hardware and noticed that their Redfish implementation exposes VirtualMedia under `/redfish/v1/Systems/{id}/VirtualMedia/`, which differs from the common `/Managers/{id}/VirtualMedia/` path expected by sushy and Ironic. HPE confirms this is standard-compliant per Redfish, but Ironic fails to locate the media devices due to this layout. Before opening a bug or patch, is there known support or discussion around handling this variant? Any pointers welcome! Best, Pooja Sangle
Greetings, That move is a relatively recent change to the redfish standard, and I *think* someone has that on their todo list and there may even be a bug, but a new bug is always welcome. I'll highlight this email in IRC and more contributors may respond with more up to date information. Thanks! -Julia On Fri, Jul 11, 2025 at 10:37 AM Sangle, Pooja <pooja.sangle@sap.com> wrote:

Hello, So, initially the Redfish endpoint for Virtual Media was under Managers but newer redfish is exposing via Systems, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/sushy/+bug/2039458 We already have the support for both in sushy/ironic.

Hi, Thank you for the update. It’s great to hear that support for /Systems/.../VirtualMedia/ is already included in recent versions of sushy/ironic. Appreciate the bug reference as well!
