Service Location Protocol (SLP) support 2

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:

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:
