This is a reminder and agenda of the HotPlug SIG conference call tomorrow, Tuesday June 21st 2005 at 11:00am Pacific (2:00pm East Coast). Phone information: Toll-Free:1-800-211-0633 Toll:1-719-867-0485 Participant Code: 902493 This is a moderated line. Conference will not start until the moderator enters with a special pass code. Agenda: * Discussion on the hotplug CPU test cases (update/revisit), please look at http://developer.osdl.org/dev/hotplug/documentation/cpu_test_cases.php and http://developer.osdl.org/maryedie/HOTPLUG/planning/hotplug_cpu_test_pla n_status.html * Discussion on OpenHPI's ability to control in addition to monitoring. We'll use Renier's input as a starting point to the discussion: "OpenHPI, being an implementation of the HPI spec, provides both control and monitoring (through sensors) intefaces to hardware as described in the HPI spec. The best way to learn which sensors and controls are available (in an ipmi system, for example) is to install openhpi and run the hpitree clients. This will show all sensors and controls (and then some) that the plugin has detected on that hardware. Managed hotswap is implemented and handled in OpenHPI. There are two ways, depending on the plugin, that this is managed. This is described in the spec. The ipmi plugins use the full hotswap state model. The BladeCenter plugin uses the simplified hotswap state model. Both models are valid and compliant with the HPI spec. When you talk about hotswap in HPI, you are talking about hotswap events. So the HPI user receives hotswap events, and if the corresponding resource supports the full hotswap model, it can intervene in some ways on the hotswap cycle that that resource is going through. Inherently, there is no command that the user must type to access these events. OpenHPI is a library (an API), so a user application links to OpenHPI and invokes the API to query the state of things and events (including hotswap events)." * Status of memory testing plan * Last meeting's ARs * Other topics: do we need to discuss what num CPUs to use for things like top? Thanks for your participation. Martine J. Silbermann
