hp-wlmcom port_number/tcp
If such an entry is found, port_number is used as the
port. If such an entry is not found, the default port of
9692 is used, assuming it is not in /etc/services with
protocol tcp. If it is, an error is issued.
-s Causes WLM to run in secure mode if you have
distributed security certificates to the systems or
partitions being managed by the same WLM global
arbiter (wlmpard). For more information on using
security certificates, see wlmcert(1M).
WLM runs in secure mode by default when you use the
/sbin/init.d/wlm script to start WLM. (If you upgraded
WLM, secure mode might not be the default. Ensure
that the appropriate secure mode variables in
/etc/rc.config.d/wlm are set correctly. You can change
the default by editing the values for these variables.
For more information on these variables, see “Securing
WLM communications” on page 244.)
-k Kills any running instance of wlmcomd, preventing the
servicing of any more requests. However, requests that
are already being serviced (via children of wlmcomd) are
not interrupted. Thus, active monitoring sessions can
continue, without service interruption.
NOTE If you are not using secure communications (enabled manually using the
wlmcomd -s option or automatically when you use the /sbin/init.d/wlm
script to start WLM, use wlmcomd only on trusted LANs where you trust
all the users: All data exchanged between wlmcomd and wlmgui,
including the user’s password, is transmitted without encryption over
the network.
Restrict communications between wlmcomd and wlmgui to only
authorized users to improve security.
Each connection to wlmcomd represents a separate process on the system.
As such, each connection consumes resources, such as open file
descriptors, a process ID, memory, and so forth. A large number of
