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.
