The audit tool that ingests Reanimator exports treats any per-component field
change between imports as a component replacement. Importing an xFusion BMC dump
and an easy_bee BEE-SP bundle for one server produced large spurious diffs.
xfusion:
- parseMemInfo tolerates a stray 0x0A inside the binary SPD "bom number" column
(it was splitting a DIMM record in two and emitting a phantom "slot s" module)
- DIMM slot from the "dimm name" column ("DIMM071"), mainboard "location" dropped
- GPU slot = BDF (Reanimator contract)
- NIC emitted per PCI function from netcard_info.txt (BDF + per-port MAC, shared
card serial) instead of one card-level adapter with the wrong BDF, which had
been colliding with a GPU and vanishing in dedup
- NIC manufacturer left blank when it is the system OEM so the exporter resolves
the silicon vendor from pci.ids
- "(U6216)" chip designator stripped from firmware versions
easy_bee:
- PSU bay numbers rebased 0-indexed -> 1-indexed; bare single-letter PSU
"firmware" (a leaked FRU version) cleared
- board.part_number taken from the bundle's ipmitool-fru.txt chassis
"Product Part Number" to match the BMC value
exporter (cross-vendor):
- canonicalMemorySlot: drop dmidecode "(J)" channel tag, Memory111 -> DIMM111
- canonicalGPUModel: NVIDIA DC GPUs reduce to the bare chip token
- canonicalStorageMediaAndInterface: NVMe is a bus not a medium
- manufacturerFromStorageModel: fill blank drive vendor from the model prefix
- isRemovableUSBStorageDevice: drop live-CD boot sticks
- isOnboardControllerPCIeDevice: drop SATA/NVMe/MegaRAID/PCIe-switch controller
functions that only an lspci scan reports (keep add-in cards with an identity)
For the reference server every physical component now appears in both exports
keyed identically; residual diffs are one-sided enrichment only.
