Demonstration Utilities | 10 |
The purpose of the demonstration utility is to demonstrate and expose the main functionality and features of the HSSDK driver set, the Application Programming Interface (API) and the Redundant Host (RH) capabilities of the ZT 5524 System Master CPU board. It also serves as a test tool for exercising the APIs while acting as a programming tutorial. The functional interfaces are listed below:
•RH API exercising
•Hot Swap API exercising
•
•Fault Configuration
•Switchover Management
•Any extra exposed status and control that is not covered in the previously mentioned APIs
10.1Functional Description
The architecture of the RHDemo application is represented by five major functional blocks:
•User interface
•RH interface
•IPMI interface
•Hot swap interface
•Slot control interface
These are described in the following topics.
10.1.1User Interface
The user interface is based on a command line interface and is menu driven. Enter a number and press Enter to make a selection. Press M to go to the main menu, press B to go back to the previous menu, and press Q to quit the demo.
10.1.2RH Interface
The RADemo exercises the Redundant Host functionality exposed via the RH interface. It supports the PICMG 2.12 RH API. This should also be sufficient to exercise the functionality in the ZT 5524 RSS System Master board. The ZT 5524 is dynamic enough to function in multiple mode
•Active/Standby
•Active/Active
