NAME

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

DESCRIPTION

       OpenHPI is an implementation of the SA Forum's Hardware Platform Interface, which provides a standard C library interface to manage,
       monitor, and control hardware (both local and remote).

       OpenHPI 2.x implements the HPI B.01.01 specification.

       The OpenHPI client library (libopenhpi) provides all the connection functionality needed by the client application to connect to the
       OpenHPI daemon running on the local or remote server.

ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES

       Some of OpenHPI's functioning can be changed by setting environment variables.  This documents all client environmental settings.

       OPENHPI_DAEMON_HOST=URL
	 URL for the host running the daemon. This can be "localhost" (default) if the daemon is running on the local host or an ip address.

       OPENHPI_DAEMON_PORT=PORT_NUMBER
	 The port number the host is listening on for clent connections.  Default port is 4743.

HARDWARE SUPPORT

       OpenHPI provides a number of plugins that talk to different hardware types.  The following is a list of tested plugins in OpenHPI 2.x.

       ipmi
	   An IPMI plugin that can talk locally (via smi interface and OpenIPMI device driver) or remotely (via IPMI over LAN).  It supports IPMI
	   1.5 for standard rackmount servers, and some of IPMI 2.0 for support of ATCA chassis.

	   IPMI plugin depends on libOpenIPMI version 1.4.x.

       ipmidirect
	   An IPMI plugin designed specifically for ATCA chassis.  It implements IPMI commands directly in the plugin.

       snmp_bc
	   An SNMP based plugin that can communicate with IBM BladeCenter, as well as IBM xSeries servers with RSA 1 adapters.

	   SNMP_BC plugin depends on net-snmp > 5.0.7.

       sysfs
	   Current status??

       watchdog
	   Current status??

NAME

       hpiinv - An openhpi sample application that shows resources' inventory records.

SYNOPSIS

	hpiinv [-D nn] [-N host[:port]] [-C <cfgfile>] [-V] [ -X] [-a tag] [-h]
	hpiinv [--domain=nn] [--host=host[:port]] [--cfgfile=file] [--verbose] [--debug] [--asset-tag=tag] [--help]

DESCRIPTION

       hpiinv walks the RPT (Resource Present Table) looking for resources that have Inventory Capability.  It displays all inventory records
       found.

       If no domain is selected, hpiinv uses a session with the default domain. The selected domain id must be configured via the
       openhpidclient.conf file specified in the environment.

OPTIONS

   Help Options:
       -h, --help
	 Show help options

   Application Options:
       -a tag, --asset-tag=tag
	 Set the asset tag to the specified string

       -D nn, --domain=nn
	 Select domain id nn

       -X, --debug
	 Display debug messages

       -V, --verbose
	 Verbose mode

       -N "host[:port]", --host="host[:port]"
	 Open session to the domain served by the daemon at the specified URL (host:port).  This option overrides the OPENHPI_DAEMON_HOST and
	 OPENHPI_DAEMON_PORT environment variables.  If host contains ':' (for example IPv6 address) then enclose it in square brackets.  For
	 example: "[::1]" or "[::1]:4743".

       -C "file", --cfgfile="file"
	 Use passed file as client configuration file.	This option overrides the OPENHPICLIENT_CONf environment variable.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       For generic OpenHPI, there is *no* additional environment variable required.  For some devices; sahalee, mBMC; BMCONLY flag needs to be set
       for additional device characterization based on rdr.IdString.Data.
