NAME

     dmispd - Sun Solstice Enterprise DMI Service Provider

SYNOPSIS

     /usr/lib/dmi/dmispd [-h] [-c config-dir] [-d debug-level]

DESCRIPTION

     The DMI Service Provider, dmispd, is the  core  of  the  DMI
     solution. Management applications and Component instrumenta-
     tions communicate with each other through the  Service  Pro-
     vider.  The  Service  Provider  coordinates  and  arbitrates
     requests from the management application  to  the  specified
     component  instrumentations.  The  Service  Provider handles
     runtime management of the Component Interface (CI)  and  the
     Management Interface (MI), including component installation,
     registration at the MI and CI level,  request  serialization
     and synchronization, event handling for CI, and general flow
     control and housekeeping.

     The Service Provider is invoked from a  start-up  script  at
     boot  time only if contents of the DMI Service Provider con-
     figuration file /etc/dmi/conf/dmispd.conf are non-trivial.

OPTIONS

     The following options are supported:

     -c config-dir
           Specify the full path of the directory containing  the

           is  /etc/dmi/conf.

     -d debug-level

           ous  levels  of   debug information. The default is 0,
           meaning no debug information is given.

           If this option is omitted, then dmispd  is  run  as  a
           daemon process.
