2.2.1 Installing an HPI-B Daemon
As previously mentioned, it depends on the ATCA-F120 release if the HPI-B daemon files are
preinstalled or not. If they are not preinstalled or if you want to upgrade existing HPI-B files, you
need to obtain the desired RPM files and install them manually as follows.
Installing the HPI-B Daemon Files
In order to install/upgrade the HPI-B daemon files on an ATCA-F120 blade, proceed as follows.
1. Connect to the ATCA-F120 blade where you wish to install the HPI-B daemon files.
2. Copy the RPM file to the ATCA-F120.
3. If applicable, enter rpm -e <Old HPI-B daemon package name> to uninstall
existing daemon files
4. If applicable, enter rpm -e <Old HPI-B client base package name> to
uninstall an installed HPI-B client base package
5. Enter rpm -i <New HPI-B client base package RPM>
This installs the new HPI-B client base package files.
6. Enter rpm -i <New HPI-B daemon RPM>
This installs the new daemon files.
The following table lists all HPI-B related directories available on the ATCA-F120 after the
installation.
2.2.2 Configuring an HPI Daemon
At start-up, the HPI daemon reads the following configuration file:
/opt/motorola/etc/bbs-hpib/bbs-hpib.conf.
The only entry which you must configure manually once is the IP address and port used to
access the SAMs in the Centellis 4620. Both SAMs have a virtual IP address assigned to them
which is to be used specifically for RMCP-based accesses. This is the IP address which you
must specify in the configuration file.
