Implementation of SA Forum's Hardware Platform Interface (HPI)

OpenHPI implements the SA Forum's Hardware Platform Interface (HPI). HPI is an abstracted interface for managing computer hardware, typically for chassis and rack based servers. HPI includes a resource model; access to and control over sensor, control, watchdog, and inventory data associated with resources; abstracted System Event Log interfaces; hardware events and alerts; and a managed hotswap interface. OpenHPI provides a modular mechanism for adding new hardware and device support. Plug-ins exist for providing access to various types of hardware, including IPMI-based servers, Blade Center, and machines that export data via sysfs.
