Abstract
With its next release, SA Forum will provide a new platform management service and so will close the gap between HPI and AIS services. This new service will match the configured system to the actually present hardware and will make hardware states easily accessible for software via the information model. At the same time it extends the information model with objects that represent operating systems and virtualization layers. The new service provides a state model for all these objects and APIs to inform its users about changes, such as operator interactions with the equipment. Administrative commands can be used for platform maintenance. The complete information model will allow fault correlation over all platform layers up to the application. This is necessary for proper fault analysis and to really achieve high availability.
