HP StorageWorks Command View XP Advanced Edition Device Manager Server Installation and Configuration Guide (December 2005)

Appendix A Overview of CIM/WBEM 141
To automatically start the service when Windows starts, execute the command with the auto
option.
> slpd -install auto
This operation is required only once. Even if you restart the Windows system, you do not need
to re-register the daemon. If you execute the command without the auto option, you need to
manually start the SLP daemon.
When you uninstall Device Manager, you need to delete the SLP daemon from Windows services
before you uninstall Device Manager. Perform the following procedure to delete the SLP daemon from
Windows services.
To delete the SLP daemon:
1. Log on as a member of the Administrator group.
2. Show the command prompt and move to the folder containing the OpenSLP executable file.
3. Delete the SLP daemon from Windows services.
Execute the following command:
> slpd -remove
A-5-2 Starting and Stopping the Service Discovery Feature
To manually start the SLP daemon, perform either of the following procedures:
• From Administrative Tools, choose Services and then Service Location Protocol to start the SLP
daemon.
• Show the command prompt, move to the folder containing the OpenSLP executable file, and
execute the following command:
> slpd -start
To stop the SLP daemon, perform either of the following:
• From Administrative Tools, choose Services and then Service Location Protocol.
• Display the command prompt, move to the folder containing the OpenSLP executable file, and
execute the following command:
> slpd -stop
A-5-3 Notes on Using OpenSLP
The SLP daemon of OpenSLP outputs the operation log to the following file:
%WINDIR%slpd.log
%WINDIR% is replaced by the value of the environment variable WINDIR in Windows. Normally, the
value is C:\WINNT\.
By default, only the start message of the SLP daemon startup is output to the log. Since the log output
of the SLP daemon accumulates as time elapses, the log output may use up a lot of disk space when
you use the SLP daemon for an extended period of time. To prevent this, you need to periodically
back up the log file and clear the disk space.
