Route NVOS update through component-manager to make this function backend agnostic. This is part of the cleanup tracked in #4240 (work spans across multiple PRs).

  • Manual testing performed
  • No testing required (docs, internal refactor, etc.)

Simulation Testing

Method:

  • Built a NICo image and deployed it to a cluster for simulation integration tests.
  • Started a one-switch NVOS update with nico-admin-cli and observed NICo state history, RMS jobs, artifact transfer, installation, and final state.

Coverage:

  • Successful update with an NVOS image.
  • Undersized-image failure propagation.

Steps:

  1. The failure path propagated the RMS error, and the simulated rack returned to Ready.
  2. Submitted a valid image. RMS finished the image update, and observed the new version after switch reboot.
  3. Confirmed NICo transitioned through NVOSUpdate(Start), NVOSUpdate(WaitForComplete), Completed, Validating(Pending), and Ready.

Results:

  • Successful submission, persistence, polling, installation, and completion.
  • Failure propagation and recovery completed as expected.

Review Change Stack

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for starting NVOS updates through the rack management service.
    • NVOS update requests now include rack, profile, configuration, authorization, and target switch details.
    • Update submissions return durable job handles with parent and per-switch status tracking.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of invalid requests, rejected submissions, missing responses, and backend failures.
    • Classified submission errors as terminal validation failures or retryable processing errors.

Walkthrough

The change adds backend-neutral NVOS update contracts, implements durable RMS-backed submission, and updates rack maintenance to use the new manager with profile validation and explicit error classification. A DPF reprovisioning test now retains the configured rack ID.

Changes

NVOS update submission

Layer / File(s) Summary
NVOS update contract
crates/component-manager/src/nvos_update_manager.rs, crates/component-manager/src/lib.rs
Defines NvosUpdateRequest, the sealed asynchronous NvosUpdateManager trait, durable job handles, documented error mappings, and crate-root exports.
RMS update submission
crates/component-manager/src/rms.rs
Adds RMS switch-image submission, profile-derived types, job-handle preservation, per-switch status handling, error mapping, and integration coverage.
Maintenance flow integration
crates/rack-controller/src/maintenance.rs
Routes NVOS startup through rms_nvos_update_manager, validates profiles before type extraction, and classifies invalid-argument and handler errors.

DPF reprovisioning test support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configured rack ID capture
crates/api-core/src/tests/dpf/reprovisioning.rs
The rack configuration helper returns the created RackId, and the GB200 deployment test stores it for later database updates.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 87424

The new backend-neutral NVOS update path deletes maintenance credentials before retryable failures are handled, which can turn transient update failures into terminal rack errors, and an interruption after backend acceptance could leave work untracked and risk duplicate updates. Merge should wait for these reliability issues to be addressed; telemetry and failure classification also need explicit follow-up.

Add tests for the error classifications the caller branches on.

The new test covers the success path only. crates/rack-controller/src/maintenance.rs (Lines 2761-2770) now selects a different rack outcome for each error variant: InvalidArgument transitions the rack to Error, while Internal and RejectedBeforeDispatch return a state-handler error. No test pins those mappings. Add cases for a failure batch with no jobs (RejectedBeforeDispatch), an RPC failure (Internal), and a success batch with no parent job and no child jobs, which marks every switch failed and returns the aggregate "failed" status.

Wrap the NVOS submission RPC in red::instrumented.

Every other RMS call in this file routes through red::instrumented, for example apply_firmware_object (Line 3197), batch_set_power_state (Line 3108), update_switch_system_password (Line 2518), and batch_reset_switch_factory_default (Line 2589). This call does not. The carbide_external_call_duration_milliseconds histogram therefore records no samples for apply_switch_system_image on this path, and the existing metric contract test at Line 4292 documents that expectation for RMS calls. Because the previous local implementation in crates/rack-controller/src/maintenance.rs was removed, the NVOS submission now has no external-call telemetry at all.

Wrap the RMS call with red::instrumented.

Every other RMS call in this file records the external-call histogram through red::instrumented("rms", "<operation>", ...), and a dedicated test asserts that behavior for batch_get_power_state. This new submission path bypasses it, so NVOS submissions produce no carbide_external_call_duration_milliseconds samples.

Preserve the ambiguous-outcome classification for this mutating call.

This branch maps every RPC failure to Internal. The other mutating RMS submissions in this file (rms_ensure_switch_password_rotation, rms_batch_reset_switch_factory_default) classify ambiguous transport or deadline failures as OperationOutcomeUnknown, because RMS can accept the work before the local call fails. An NVOS image submission is destructive and reboots switches, so the same distinction applies here. Consider mapping Unavailable, DeadlineExceeded, and Cancelled to OperationOutcomeUnknown, keeping Internal for failures that prove no dispatch occurred. If the classification is deliberate, the doc comment on NvosUpdateManager::start_nvos_update should state why a resubmission is safe.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

The unconditional token deletion makes the retryable branch unreachable.

Line 2760 deletes the rack maintenance access token before the result is classified. The comment on line 2763 states that Internal and RejectedBeforeDispatch stay handler errors so that Start is retried. On that retry, load_rack_maintenance_access_token at line 2646 runs again and finds no token, so the handler transitions the rack to Error with a credential-load message instead of the real submission failure. A transient RMS failure therefore ends the maintenance request terminally, and the surfaced cause is misleading.

Delete the token only on the paths that will not be retried, in the same way the firmware branch does at line 2289.
