The Blade Center plugin now recognizes additional types of events from the Management Module. Along with more test cases, more types of resources were added to the Blade Center simulator in order to simulate the additional types of events. OpenHPI now initializes itself at linked time rather than waiting for the first session open. This is an advantage in threaded mode as it improves how quickly the resource presence table gets populated.
An experimental set of wrappers that enables coders to use SaHpi structures using C++ syntax was added. saHpiEventGet was optimized. The Blade Center plugin was improved, and better hardware mappings were added. IA64 cleanups were made. The client library was improvemed, and sharing of session IDs between threads is now possible.
This is the second stable release this year after
several previous development releases. A lot of
bugfixes have been made, along with all of the new
features. 2.2.0 is the most solid and HPI
conformant release up to date. New features
include an improved threaded mode which
automatically discovers resources, better gcc 4.0
support, multi-domain support in IPMI Direct
plugin, more efficient synchronization around
plugin access, and resource search speed
optimizations.
The next release is planned be 2.2.0 stable. This
release has bugfixes across the board. New
features include alarm panel support in the Blade
Center plugin, a new client to display the domain
event log for HPI clients, and exposure of all OEM
FRU multirecords in the IPMI Direct plugin.
