HP Brocade BladeSystem 4/12 Release Note page 15

Indications delivery depends on SAN Size and SNMP registration
The time to deliver the indication varies, based on Network Advisor SAN size selected during
installation. If a large SAN size is selected, indication delivery time is longer.
Provider classes may take more time to update the fabric changes if the switches managed in
Network Advisor are not SNMP registered. All the switches managed in Network Advisor should
be SNMP registered to avoid the delay in indication delivery.
Logging for CIMOM
The default logging level is INFO in the integrated Agent. To change the logging level to DEBUG,
update the com.brocade category value in the cimom-log4j.xml file located in the
<Installation Dir>\conf folder.
The log file size and number of log files can also be changed by modifying the file rolling appender
parameters in this cimom-log4j.xml file.
Logging Level, File size, and Number of Log files can be changed by modifying the following
fields:Log Level, File Size, and Number of Files from Configuration Tool through the
CIMOM tab.
Service Location Protocol (SLP) support
The Management application SMI Agent uses Service Location Protocol (SLP) to allow applications
to discover the existence, location, and configuration of WBEM services in enterprise networks.
You do not need a WBEM client to use SLP discovery to find a WBEM Server; that is, SLP discovery
might already know about the location and capabilities of the WBEM Server to which it wants to
send its requests. In such environments, you do not need to start the SLP component of the
Management application SMI Agent.
However, in a dynamically changing enterprise network environment, many WBEM clients might
choose to use SLP discovery to find the location and capabilities of other WBEM Servers. In such
environments, start the SLP component of the Management application SMI Agent to allow
advertisement of its existence, location, and capabilities.
SLP installation is optional and you can configure it during Management application configuration.
Once installed, SLP starts whenever the Management application SMI Agent starts.
Management SMI Agent SLP application support includes the following components:
The slpd script, which starts the slpd platform
The slpd program acts as a Service Agent (SA). A different slpd binary executable file exists
for UNIX and Windows systems.
The slptool script, which starts the slptool platform-specific program
The slptool program can be used to verify whether SLP is operating properly. A different slptool
exists for UNIX and Windows.
By default, the Management application SMI Agent is configured to advertise itself as a Service
Agent (SA). The advertised SLP template shows its location (IP address) and the WBEM Services
it supports. The default advertised WBEM services show the Management application SMI Agent,
which:
Accepts WBEM requests over HTTP without SSL on TCP port 5988
Accepts WBEM requests over HTTPS using SSL on TCP port 5989
