The Basics
OpenHPI is an open source project created with the intent of providing an implementation of the Service Availability Forum's Hardware Platform Interface (HPI). HPI provides a universal interface for creating resource system models, typically for chassis and rack based servers, but extendable for other problem domains such as clustering, virtualization and simulation.
