Step 6 - restarting the deployment server

If serverclass.conf did not exist, a restart of the Splunk instance which is running deployment server is required to activate the deployment server. After the deployment server is loaded, you can use the following command:

$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk reload deploy-server  

This command should be enough to pick up any changes in serverclass.conf a in etc/deployment-apps.
