Prosody X Installation guide

Special considerations for the Prosody X 1U HA Chassis

The Prosody X 1U High Availability Chassis differs from deploying solutions based on

Prosody X cards for PCI/PCIe buses in a number of ways.

2.1

HPImanager

The Prosody X 1U High Availability Chassis supports an open standard called the

Hardware Platform Interface (HPI). Aculab supply a command line tool and a GUI interface

that can use the HPI interface to monitor, update and control aspects of the HA chassis.

From the start menu select HPIManager under Aculab\V6. Once open select in the file

menu the option to add HW to monitor. This brings up a box in which the IP address of the

box, that was set in the ACT during the HPI configuration, should be entered. If you set a

password you will be asked for this. This will bring up a screen like the one below. The

green shows that all the fans, temperature monitors and voltage monitors are in the

selected range. The red shows that we have a problem with Power Supply 2.

By double clicking, or right clicking on this box it is possible to change the levels at which

alarms are raised, boot Prosody X cards from back up flash, reset Prosody X cards and

update the HPI software. Note that the levels set up for alarms are the levels used to setup

SNMP traps if that has been setup for the box via the ACT. To use the command line HPI

host please refer to the HPI documentation that can be found at the openHPI website

http://openhpi.org/.

For further information on using the HPImanager please see the HPImanager User Guide.

2.2

Clocking

Since this is a one or two card system the expected mode of operation is for one of the

Prosody X cards to source its clock from the internal bus, known as H100, from the other

card that may generate its own clock or may source that clock from the network. The ACT

will warn you when the clock settings you choose aren't appropriate for the HA Chassis. In

this case it will offer to setup a default setting in line with the above. When the clocking is

sourced from TDM ports it is possible to setup the clocking such that clocking will fall back

to an alternative source if the primary clock is not available. See Ref3 – Aculab

Configuration Tool (ACT) user guide and Ref5 – Switch API Guide for more information.
