No-Internet Mode - SPMF confirms ServiceMode not behaving as expected

[tomasg2012]

This sounds perfectly reasonable, I actually just encountered this just before this issue was posted, as my setup used ServiceMode but had no hard drive schema to fall back to in the scenario you just described.

In terms of the current implementation, it should be an easy fix.

As an aside though, metadata doesn't normally describe every single necessary reference for the server... by default it only references the resources that are able to be GET. Am I mistaken?

This would be an issue for some Thermal items I believe, off the top of my head I cannot place what specifically.

No in previous discussions it was confirmed that $metadata has to supply Uri for schema defining every type actually used or Validator should throw an error. Reference to a type in included Schema, without definition in any Schema file in $metadata, but never used in JSON should be a warning event as this is not actually fatal to client.

Myself I think the Uri inside the Schema files are a feature of Odata that Redfish does not really embrace fully. And these internal-to-schema reference Uri cause more trouble than benefit.

What should Validator do if the Uri inside a schema points to a file with xml content different from the Uri to the same name at $metadata ? This is currently allowed and can lead to very odd inconsistent behavior and tough bugs.

But that is just my opinion.

That is true, I've noticed differences between two different XML files that could cause issues. I will address this for Thursday.
