Integration of ATCA Control in CERN's SCADA Software for LHCb

This project aims to integrate ATCA control mechanisms into CERN's standardized SCADA software, PVSS/WinCC, enhancing control over shelves and blades in the LHCb environment. The system will allow operators to switch on/off, reboot, and monitor critical parameters such as temperatures, voltages, and fan speeds. We will explore options like IPMI tools for hardware communication and utilize DIM for process communication. A new IPMI server is under development, aiming to extend current capabilities while leveraging existing technologies such as ipmitool and LHCb's Farm Monitoring and Control tools.

  1. ATCA control S/W in LHCb

  2. Goal • Integrate ATCA control in the CERN standard SCADA software – PVSS/WinCC • Control shelves and blades • Switch On/Off, reboot • Monitor parameters • Temperatures, voltages, fans, …

  3. Options • IPMI Manager for PVSS • Doesn’t seem to exist • OpenHPI • OpenHPI client for PVSS • Doesn’t seem to exist • SNMP • Dedicated server • Use one of the available IPMI tools to communicate with the HW • Use DIM* to serve PVSS • DIM client readily available for PVSS *Distributed Information Management System: Provides a network transparent inter-process communication layer for distributed/mixed enviroments

  4. IPMI software • Many options available • IPMItool • No library but is open source • OpenIPMI • Library available for Linux • Ipmiutil • Library available for Linux and Windows • … Currently the one that seems to have better support for PICMG control is IPMItool

  5. What we have • IpmiSrv • From the LHCb Farm Monitoring and Control (FMC) tools • Uses DIM • Works as is to control crate power • But not much else… • Can be extended • Uses ipmitool command line calls and parses the replies • A new IPMI server • Uses DIM • Uses direct ipmitool RMCP calls • Very early stages of development • Working test version with limited functionality

  6. What we have • Current integration with PVSS (for PCs) Commands List of PCs Monitored Values

  7. Next steps • An ATCA crate was bought to continue the tests • Should be arriving soon • More active development of the Server software
