After the provider module is registered, create a link between the SFM providers and the CIMOM by entering the following command at the HP-UX prompt:

#ln -s /opt/sfm/lib/libsfmproviders.1 /opt/wbem/providers/lib/libsfmproviders.sl

To check whether the link is created, enter the following command at the /opt/wbem/providers/lib directory:

#ls

Following is a sample output indicating that the link is created:

# lrwxr-xr-x 1 root
