Service discovery feature
Device Manager provides the service discovery feature based on the Service Location Protocol
(SLP).
The SLP is undergoing standardization by IETF and provides a way to discover desired
services available in a network. For details on the SLP, see RFC2608.
Just by specifying the type of service, SLP clients can obtain information (such as URLs) about
how to access the available services, and information about service attributes.
In Device Manager, the Device Manager server uses the SLP to report information about the
WBEM Service.
Performance information acquisition feature
Using the CIM interface, Device Manager acquires information about I/Os to ports and LDEVs
as performance information of the storage subsystem.
A-3 Preparations for operating the CIM/WBEM
features
CIM/WBEM features are disabled by default in the Device Manager settings. To use the CIM/WBEM
features, you must specify the following settings after installation:
• Basic settings required to use the CIM/WBEM features
• Setting the port used by CIM/WBEM features
• Settings required to use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) in the CIM/WBEM features
A-3-1 Basic settings required to use the CIM/WBEM features
To use the CIM/WBEM features, you must first enable them.
To enable the CIM/WBEM features:
1. Change the setting in the Device Manager server property file.
Change the setting of the server.cim.support property in the property file
server.properties from false to true. The server.properties file is stored in the
following location:
In Windows:
installation-folder-for-the-Device-Manager-server\Server\config
In Linux:
installation-directory-for-the-Device-Manager-server/Server/config
2. Stop any service that uses a port having a port number used by the CIM/WBEM service.
The table below shows the port used by each CIM/WEB feature.
Table A-2 Port numbers used by CIM/WBEM features
Feature Port number used
Object operation feature For non-SSL communication: 5988 (default)
For SSL communication: 5989 (default)
Service discovery feature 427
Execute the following command to determine if any service program running is using the same
port to be used by each CIM/WBEM feature:
○ In Windows: netstat -anp TCP
○ In Linux: netstat -tan
