From 89bcb05d9bbf8bd559988bca4f2579defd28d008 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Altobelli Date: Wed, 2 Jul 2008 09:38:53 -0600 Subject: HP iLO driver A driver for the HP iLO/iLO2 management processor, which allows userspace programs to query the management processor. Programs can open a channel to the device (/dev/hpilo/dXccbN), and use this to send/receive queries. The O_EXCL open flag is used to indicate that a particular channel cannot be shared between processes. This driver will replace various packages HP has shipped, including hprsm and hp-ilo.
