NAME

6       openhpi - an implementation of the SA Forum's Hardware Platform
7       Interface
8

DESCRIPTION

10       OpenHPI is an implementation of the SA Forum's Hardware Platform
11       Interface, which provides a standard C library interface to manage,
12       monitor, and control hardware (both local and remote).
13
14       OpenHPI 2.x implements the HPI B.01.01 specification.
15
16       The OpenHPI client library (libopenhpi) provides all the connection
17       functionality needed by the client application to connect to the
18       OpenHPI daemon running on the local or remote server.
19

ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES

21       Some of OpenHPI's functioning can be changed by setting environment
22       variables.  This documents all client environmental settings.
23
24       OPENHPI_DAEMON_HOST=URL
25         URL for the host running the daemon. This can be "localhost"
26         (default) if the daemon is running on the local host or an ip
27         address.
28
29       OPENHPI_DAEMON_PORT=PORT_NUMBER
30         The port number the host is listening on for clent connections.
31         Default port is 4743.
32

HARDWARE SUPPORT

34       OpenHPI provides a number of plugins that talk to different hardware
35       types.  The following is a list of tested plugins in OpenHPI 2.x.
36
37       ipmi
38           An IPMI plugin that can talk locally (via smi interface and
39           OpenIPMI device driver) or remotely (via IPMI over LAN).  It
40           supports IPMI 1.5 for standard rackmount servers, and some of IPMI
41           2.0 for support of ATCA chassis.
42
43           IPMI plugin depends on libOpenIPMI version 1.4.x.
44
45       ipmidirect
46           An IPMI plugin designed specifically for ATCA chassis.  It
47           implements IPMI commands directly in the plugin.
48
49       snmp_bc
50           An SNMP based plugin that can communicate with IBM BladeCenter, as
51           well as IBM xSeries servers with RSA 1 adapters.
52
53           SNMP_BC plugin depends on net-snmp > 5.0.7.
