You can enable or disable the SMI-S provider service by performing the SMI-S provider startup setting.
Note: To use the SMI-S function, the SMI-S provider service must be enabled. If the service is set to disable by the startup setting, the SMI-S function cannot be used because the service does not start.
CAUTION:
The port number used for the SMI-S provider is automatically assigned when the SMI-S provider service is enabled. When you re-enable the SMI-S provider service after it was disabled, the port number that was in use before the service was disabled is not assigned, and a new port number is assigned instead. Therefore, when you re-enable the SMI-S provider service, make sure to set the newly assigned port number for the management client.
