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.

The POST type value is
specified in the least
significant byte.
The CPU number (or SET

zero. However, for blades
that support more than one
CPU complex, the
processor complex is
identified with this field.
