HPI is a standardized programmatic
interface for monitoring and controlling
highly available systems. HPI enables
applications and middleware to discover,
access and manage hardware resources.
Its goal is to allow portability of application
and middleware software across a variety
of hardware platforms.
The HPI Tester is an automated software tool that tests the compatibility of a Hardware Platform
Interface (HPI) implementation in conformance with the requirements specified in the Service
Availability™ (SA) Forum HPI specification SAI-HPI-B.02.01 and SA™ Forum HPI-to-AdvancedTCA®
Mapping specification SAIM-HPI-B01.01-ATCA.
HPI Tester Architecture
HPI Tester Advanced Architecture
The HPI Tester is designed for manufacturers of AdvancedTCA building blocks, ATCA System
Integrators and Telecom Equipment Manufacturers who wish to test their HPI implementation during
the development or quality assurance phase of their product life cycle.
The HPI Tester will include tests for other hardware platform technologies (e.g., MicroTCA) in future
releases when the SA Forum develops specifications for mapping these technologies to HPI.
