OpenHPI (Service Availability)

OpenHPI is a software system providing an abstracted interface to manage computer hardware, typically for chassis and rack basedservers. It is production ready implementation of the Hardware Platform Interface specification from Service Availability Forum, complimenting existing hardware management standards. Founded in 2003, OpenHPI is maintained by the OpenHPI Project. It is free and open-source software with a BSD license by Intel and IBM corporations.

OpenHPI provides resource modeling, sensor management, control, watchdog, inventory data associated with resources, abstracted system event log, hardware events/alarms, and a managed hot-swap interface. It aims for service availability beyond high availability (HA) expectations.
