Service Location Protocol (SLP) support

Starting SLP on Linux, Solaris, and AIX
1. Become the root user:
%
su root
2. Check that the SLP daemon is not already started:
#
ps -eaf | grep slpd
3. Start the SLP daemon, if one is not already started:
#
<SMIAgent>
/agent/bin/slpd
Stopping SLP on Linux, Solaris, and AIX
1. Become the root user:
%
su root
2. Find the process ID for the SLP daemon:
#
ps -eaf | grep slpd
3. Stop the SLP daemon process, if found:
#
kill -9
<slp_process_id>
An SLP log file can be found at:
<SMIAgent>/agent/cfg/slp.log
The SLP daemon can be reconfigured by modifying the following file:
<SMIAgent>/agent/cfg/slp.conf
Applications that do not dynamically register themselves with SLP using SLPAPIs can instead
register statically by modifying the following file:
<SMIAgent>/agent/cfg/slp.reg
For more information about these files, read the comments contained in them, or read:
http://www.openslp.org/doc/html/UsersGuide/index.html
Verifying that the SLP service is correctly installed and operating
1. Become the root user:
% su root
2. Verify that the SLP service is properly running as a Service Agent (SA):
#
<SMIAgent>
/agent/bin/slptool findsrvs service:service-agent
3. Verify that the SLP service is properly advertising its WBEM services:
#
<SMIAgent>
/agent/bin/slptool findsrvs service:wbem
4. Verify that the SLP service is properly advertising the WBEM SLP template over its configured
client protocol adapters.
NOTE
Change the IP Address:Port to those displayed by slptool findsrvs service:wbem:
