2025.2 Series Release Notes¶

5.7.1-4¶

An issue was encountered on Dell hardware where the Baseboard Management Controller could respond with a HTTP 404 error temporarily during job creation, causing operations to fail unnecessarily. This occurred due to a race condition where the BMC had not yet finished creating the job when the initial request was made. The Dell OEM http_call method now automatically retries on 404 responses with configurable retry count (default: 3 retries) and delay (default: 10 seconds) to handle this transient condition gracefully. The retry behavior can be customized using the max_404_retries and retry_404_delay parameters.

Fixes an issue with the handling of idrac10 BMCs as it relates to the ComputerSystem resource. Previously, sushy was not able to identify the available boot target value. Now sushy is able to identify the boot values from a settings sub-resource and provide the needful clarity so consumers of the sushy library can identify available targets.

Adds correct handling of BMC responses containing an empty string eTag. This resolves issues where sending back an empty string eTag may trigger HTTP 412 Precondition Failed error on some BMCs.

Redfish HTTP requests in Sushy now retry automatically on common transient connection errors such as connection timeouts or refused connections. This helps avoid deployment or teardown failures due to temporary BMC unavailability. The number of retries and the delay are controlled by the existing options server_side_retries and server_side_retries_delay.

Adds set_datetime method to the Manager resource, allowing clients to update the BMC’s DateTime and DateTimeLocalOffset fields via Redfish PATCH. This enables management of time settings on Redfish-compliant BMCs through sushy.

Fix the Target property in the Dell OEM, it should be an array as a value instead of a string.

Fixes an issue where the action to eject virtual media would fail if the virtual media wasn’t present. Now, if the virtual media is not present, we will not raise an error.

Fixes incompatibility with SuperMicro ars-111gl-nhr which uses ‘Cd’ device string for virtual media boot as opposed to ‘UsbCd’ typical to most SuperMicro servers.

sushy-oem-idrac has been merged into this package, removing the need to install it separately.
