inventory-minimal¶

Set initial inventory, hardware, and cloud values

Sets the machine/type parameter and collects comprehensive inventory data.

Hardware Detection: If a base hardware profile for the given physical machine Manufacturer exists, also add that to the Machine. This is used for Hardware Lifecycle management tasks (BIOS, Firmware, RAID, etc); typically in the universal-hardware Workflow.

Known hardware manufacturers will be remapped to a common Profile name, as follows:

• Lenovo mapped to hw-lv-base
• HPE or HP mapped to hw-hp-base
• Dell Inc. mapped to hw-dell-base
• innotek GmbH mapped to hw-virtualbox-base
• SolidFire mapped to hw-sf-base

Any other platform not listed above will be mapped to hw-<MFG>-base with only spaces remapped to underscore characters.

Cloud Detection: If cloud/provider is set, collects cloud metadata including: - cloud/public-ipv4 - cloud/public-hostname - cloud/instance-type - cloud/placement/availability-zone

The initial values are derived from the Manufacturer value found in the systems DMI data structure (under .DMI.System.Manufacturer) and cloud metadata APIs when available.
