Software for platform management of high-availability computer systems is provided. A management database can be configured for storing the data about the set of management instruments and the set of management capabilities that are required for the platform management. Further, an application program interface (API) and a command line interface (CLI) are provided for administering of the hardware platform by reading and updating the state of set of management instruments, and the set of management capabilities. Execution of a policy in the occurrence of a pre-defined trigger event can be enabled by a policy execution module.

Platform management of high-availability computer systems

A computer program product and a system are provided for implementing the Hardware Platform Interface (HPI) specification for platform management of computer systems. Software, implemented by the computer program product includes a user library, a resource program, a domain program and a bridge program. The user library accepts calls from user application programs for accessing management data and management capabilities incorporated in a running instance of the resource program. The running instance of the resource program provides access to the management data and the management capabilities. This access is through restrictions to a set of running instances of the domain program. In addition, access to the user application programs is indirect through a set of running instances of the domain program. A running instance of the domain program provides access of a set of running instances of the resource program to a pre-defined set of user application programs, based on access restrictions defined for the domain program. The bridge program enables communication with remotely-connected computer systems.
