Summary

  • add a direct GB300 provider for BFX03-02 that discovers dedicated nvswitch devices from read-only BCM inventory
  • inspect selected NVSwitch tray BMCs with nvfwupd show_version -j
  • return the tray identifier, primary firmware version, and the complete component-to-version mapping
  • keep BMC credentials inside the privileged subprocess and exclude them from provider output
  • restore the existing NICo gap behavior because the direct GB300 test does not depend on NICo Flow

Result

On an applicable GB300 system, the test passes when at least one dedicated NVSwitch tray returns complete firmware inventory. Missing trays, command failures, malformed inventory, and incomplete component versions fail instead of skipping or reporting false success.

The implementation executes only the read-only show_version operation. It contains no firmware update or activation command.

Live validation

Validated read-only on the Mississippi GB300 environment against dedicated tray a05-p01-nvsw-01:

  • BCM discovered the device as category nvswitch
  • nvfwupd show_version -j returned Error Code: 0
  • firmware versions were returned for ASIC, BIOS, BMC, CPLD1-3, EROT, FPGA, SSD, and related components
  • the new provider emitted success: true with one normalized tray record
  • NvSwitchFirmwareCheck consumes that contract as PASS
  • no firmware or cluster state was changed

Validation

  • 194 passed: GB300 provider, NICo provider regression, and break-fix validation tests
  • 345 passed: stub contracts, provider discovery, and suite resolution tests
  • focused direct-provider and BFX03-02 tests passed
  • GB300 and NICo bare-metal configurations validate successfully
  • Ruff checks and formatting passed
  • all applicable pre-commit hooks passed

Closes #214.

Live AWS IAM regression

On exact PR head 5e69fb9, ran:

ISVTEST_INCLUDE_UNRELEASED=1 AWS_PROFILE=ncp-isv-lab uv run isvctl test run -f isvctl/configs/providers/aws/config/iam.yaml -- -v -s

Against AWS account 609524517695 (ncp-isv-lab, CS-Admin):

  • setup created a unique tagged IAM test user: PASS
  • credential identity and API access: PASS
  • teardown deleted the test user: PASS
  • post-run isv-test-user-* inventory: empty

This is a cross-provider regression of orchestration and provider-neutral validation. It does not replace the PR-specific Kubernetes or GB300 evidence above. Temporary credential values were not recorded.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added read-only NVSwitch firmware validation for GB300 bare-metal environments.
    • Added automatic discovery of dedicated NVSwitch hosts and tray firmware checks.
    • Added support for rack filtering, explicit host selection, inspection limits, and structured error reporting.
    • Added a ready-to-use provider configuration with prerequisites, environment variables, and usage guidance.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of missing inventory, incomplete firmware responses, unnamed devices, command failures, invalid settings, and timeouts.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The GB300 provider adds a read-only NVSwitch firmware inspection script, bare-metal configuration wiring, provider tests, and break-fix validation for missing trays and firmware versions.

Changes

GB300 NVSwitch firmware inspection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Firmware inspection implementation
isvctl/configs/providers/gb300/scripts/breakfix/query_switch_firmware.py
The script discovers dedicated NVSwitch hosts, queries tray firmware with nvfwupd show_version -j, validates responses, and emits structured JSON results.
Provider execution wiring
isvctl/configs/providers/gb300/config/bare_metal.yaml
The GB300 bare-metal provider runs the read-only firmware query during the test phase with a 180-second timeout and failure continuation.
Provider inspection coverage
isvctl/tests/providers/gb300/test_gb300_provider.py
Tests cover configuration wiring, rack filtering, read-only command use, successful output, missing inventory, incomplete firmware data, invalid fields, unnamed devices, and stderr redaction.
Break-fix firmware validation
isvtest/tests/test_breakfix.py
Tests cover successful validation for complete tray firmware data and failures for missing trays or missing firmware versions.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5e69f

The PR adds read-only GB300 NVSwitch firmware inspection, but current behavior can discard missing firmware values and turn malformed fields into valid-looking results, producing incomplete or misleading validation outcomes. These bounded correctness issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Closing after live NICo validation. The read-only rack endpoint returned 412 Site does not have NICo Flow enabled on both az51-dev3 and az51-dev4-dh1; the tray endpoint with type=NVLSwitch returned the same result on dev3. Since the platform feature is not enabled in the available validation environments, we should retain the existing BFX03-02 gap stub rather than add an untestable ISV implementation. No cluster state was changed.
