SLP registration and the slptool command

IBM Spectrum® Control uses Service Location Protocol (SLP) discovery, which requires that all the discovered CIM agents are registered by using the SLP.

In a non-multicast network environment, SLP can only discover CIM agents that are registered in its IP subnet. For CIM agents outside of the IP subnet, you need to use an SLP DA and register the CIM agents by using slptool. Ensure that the CIM_InteropSchemaNamespace and Namespace attributes are specified.

For example, enter the following command:

slptool register service:wbem:https://myhost.com:port

Where myhost.com is the name of the server that is hosting the CIM agemt, and port is the port number of the service, for example 5989.

Note: slptool is installed with a CIM agent. Run the command from the computer that is hosting the CIM agent.
