OpenPOWER in Enterprise: Gaps & Challenges
summary
Yadro reports concrete gaps when shipping OpenPOWER for enterprise: firmware lacks an enterprise diagnostics/reporting mode and system error logs are binary with decoders only on x86, so moving the decoder into OpenBMC/ARM is required; OS certification tests include x86-specific checks and vendor patch releases can take months; opal PRD daemon on repos is outdated and has caused host crashes; oVirt lacks a self‑hosted engine on POWER, and some key packages drop POWER support or lack optimized builds. They recommend porting decoders, maintaining upstream patches, and improving ported images and SDKs.
