# Magellan
Magellan is a small tool designed to collect BMC information and load the data
into `hms-smd`. It is able to probe hosts for specific open ports using the `dora`
API or it's own simplier, built-in scanner and query BMC information via `bmclib`.
Once the data is received, it is then stored into `hms-smd` using its API.
## Building
To build the project, run the following:
```bash
go mod tidy && go bulid
```
## Usage
Magellan can be used to load inventory components using redfish or IMPI interfaces.
It can scan subnets or specific hosts to find...
```bash
./magellan --help
Usage of ./magellan:
--cert-pool string path to an file containing x509 CAs. An empty string uses the system CAs. Only takes effect when --secure-tls=true
--driver strings set the BMC driver to use (default [redfish])
--host strings set additional hosts
--pass string set the BMC pass (default "root_password")
--port ints set the ports to scan
--secure-tls enable secure TLS
--subnet strings set additional subnets (default [127.0.0.0])
--threads int set the number of threads (default -1)
--timeout int set the timeout (default 1)
--user string set the BMC user (default "root")
# example usage
magellan \
--subnet 127.0.0.0 \
--host 127.0.0.1 \
--port 5000 \
--timeout 10 \
--user root \
--pass root_password \
--threads 255 \
```
## TODO
List of things left to fix or do...
* [ ] Switch to internal scanner if `dora` fails
* [ ] Test using different `bmclib` supported drivers (mainly 'redfish')
* [ ] Confirm loading different components into `hms-smd`
