HPI Utilities is a software package that offers a wide range of tools and features for HP printer users. It enables users to manage and configure their devices, update firmware, diagnose and troubleshoot printer issues, and more. This package helps manage HP printer problems efficiently.
The rpm typically defaults to the Intel imb driver. However, if you want to switch to using the OpenIPMI driver with this package, you can execute these commands after installing the rpm package:
cp /usr/lib/libSpiModIpmi.so /usr/lib/libSpiModIpmi.so-imb
cp /usr/lib/libSpiModIpmi.so-open /usr/lib/libSpiModIpmi.so
sed -e 's/imb/ipmi0/' /etc/hpi/spi-daemon.conf >/tmp/spi
cp /tmp/spi /etc/hpi/spi-daemon.conf
Note that this HPI library is currently configured to use the /dev/imb interface since it is compatible with Intel Server Management software. However, you may opt for the OpenIPMI driver, which also has imb emulation as an option.
The package includes the following HPI utilities and Intel HPI binary libraries:
- hpialarmpanel
- hpisel
- hpifru
- hpisensor
- hpireset
- hpiwdt
Overall, the HPI Utilities package is a valuable system management tool that provides hardware independence and conforms to SA Forum's Hardware Platform Interface specification. The utilities package and libraries are also compatible with OpenIPMI drivers, making it a versatile solution.
