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 instrumentations communicate with
       each other through the Service Provider. 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 configuration 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  dmispd.conf  configuration	file.  The  default  directory	is
		       /etc/dmi/conf.

       -d debug-level  Debug.  Levels  from  0 to 5 are supported, giving various 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.

       -h	       Help. Print the command line usage.
