Configuring Service Location Protocol

You can enable IBM Spectrum Control to discover a larger set of storage devices through Service Location Protocol (SLP). In addition to some of the more common SLP configuration issues, there is also information about router configuration, SLP directory agent configuration, and environment configuration.

About this task

For additional information about SLP, see the Service Location Protocol Request for Comments website at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2165.txt.

Note: The storage systems that use the native interfaces (DS8000, XIV, SAN Volume Controller, and Storwize V7000) do not use SLP discovery.
