Actually, there is no attribue yet in the inventory XML, so I prefere
to avoid them for now, I propose this instead:
<REL_MANAGEMENTCONTROLLER>bmc1</REL_MANAGEMENTCONTROLLER>.

> </HARDWARE>
> <HARDWARE id="bmc1">

sorry, but I prefer the first option because your second solution is
too different of what already exist and will require more work.

Amir, what is you opinion for the <HARDWARE /> solution? Do you know
if it's possible to retrieve enough information to be able to identify
BMC devices (Serial?) and the relations with the host (UUID, mother
board serial number, etc).

Cheers!
