Created New script for IPMI Set/Get SEL Time
Pre-requisite Condition : Client Machine and BMC should be in Same TimeZone (example : UST).
Mismatch of Timezones result in miscalculation of SEL Time due to different Timezone in Client Machine.
IPMI Raw command variables are defined under ../data/ipmi_raw_cmd_table.py
Python basic functionalities are defined under lib/ipmi_client.robot, lib/ipmi_utils.py and lib/utils.py files.
Test the Set/Get SEL Time functionality and compare the result against BMC Native command (date).
Set the Time Sync Mode from NTP to Manual to Set SEL Time.
Time Sync Mode change performed via REDFISH URI.
Performs the change in Time Sync Mode with Test Setup and Teardown Execution with default NETWORK_TIMEOUT provided under ../lib/resource.robot
NETWORK_RESTART_TIME added for Set SEL Time and Add SEL Entry as the corresponding command takes approx 5 seconds for the operation to reflect.
Current SEL time identified via BMC Native command (date) and perform SEL Time operations.
Script Verifies SEL Time for various scenarios such as,
- Get current time from BMC and add future year and compare against BMC native command (date),
- Gets BMC Current Time and Adds 15 minutes and compare against BMC native command (date),
- Gets BMC Current Time and subtracts 1 day and compare against BMC native command (date),
- Add SEL Entry for all the above scenarios and compare against BMC native command (date).
