Deploying DAs

In Solaris SLP, you deploy a DA by changing the default setting for the net.slp.isDA property in the host's slp.conf file, then stopping and restarting slpd. This causes slpd to start as a DA. You can assign only one DA per host.

How to Deploy a DA

  1. Become superuser.

  2. Edit the /etc/inet/slp.conf file and set the net.slp.isDA property to true.


    net.slp.isDA=True
  3. Save the file and exit.

  4. Restart slpd to deploy it as a DA.


    # /etc/init.d/slpd start
