4.4.3 POST Type Control

This HPI control allows you to set/get the Power-On Self Test (POST) type of the blade. Two

POST types are configurable: long POST and short POST. Refer to the respective hardware

user manual of the blade for details about both POST types. The definition of the respective HPI

controls is given in the following tables.

4.4.4 HPI Logging Support

The actions taken by the HPI daemon are written to a log file. The path and name of the log file

is defined in the configuration file bbs-hpib.conf.

To control what kind of information is written to the log file, the log control can be used.
