yes it has hotswap capability, and I have to power it on or of via 
saHpiHotSwapActionRequest!

 

I found such code snippet from plugins/ipmidirect/ipmi_resource.cpp:

        // Reset supported on ATCA FRUs - Don't allow it on fru #0 of the 
active ShMC

        if ( m_mc->IsTcaMc() )

           {

                if (!( (m_mc->GetAddress() == dIpmiBmcSlaveAddr) && (m_fru_id 
== 0) ))

                {

                    entry.ResourceCapabilities |= SAHPI_CAPABILITY_RESET;

                }

           }

        else if ( m_mc->IsRmsBoard() ) { /*Rms enabling - 11/09/06 ARCress */

            SaHpiEntityTypeT type = 
cIpmiEntityPath(m_entity_path).GetEntryType(0);

            if (type == SAHPI_ENT_SYSTEM_BOARD)  {

               stdlog << "Enabling Reset on RMS type " << type << "\n";

                entry.ResourceCapabilities |= SAHPI_CAPABILITY_RESET;

                entry.ResourceCapabilities |= SAHPI_CAPABILITY_POWER;

           }

        }

is that mean blades have no power capability??

 

then I try the ipmi plugin, it still doesn’t have the power capability. Looking 
into the ipmi plugin implementation, I found that a resource assigned 
SAHPI_CAPABILITY_POWER with it only when a control of power is found, and ATCA 
board obviously has no such thing.

 

As for the hs command in hpi_shell, if I use ipmi plugin, it is ok to power on 
the blade with “action insert”. however, if I use ipmidirect plugin, all hs 
related command report TIMEOUT. the two plugins have different implementation 
for hotswap.

 

 

The blade server I used is ATCA compliant, but not released yet. the blade I 
used is Intel MPCBL0001.

Does it have Hot Swap capability instead of Power?  Try inserting it via 
saHpiHotSwapActionRequest??

I think his point was that the condition below will evaluate false, as the 
CAPABILITY_POWER for the blade is not set.  Does that mean that the blade 
cannot be powered on programmatically using HPI?

Hi, 

We have a sample openHPI/clients/hpipower.c showing how to power on/off/recycle 
a blade.  Basically 

                ............
           if (resource.ResourceCapabilities & SAHPI_CAPABILITY_POWER)
           {
                    .....
                    Status = saHpiResourcePowerStateSet(SessionId,
                                   resource.ResID,
                                   Action);
                   ......
            }

hi.

I have a blade server, with two blades plugged. I spent several days but cannot 
figure out how to power on an blade. since the resource representing the blade 
does not have the "power" capability.
please give me some help.

thanks in advance
