The following list describes the sequence of events when a request is made for information:

1.The CIMOM receives requests from the CMS for device information.

2.The CIMOM converts the requests to a format that is deciphered by the SFM providers and directs the requests to the appropriate SFM provider, for example, the CPU Instance Provider.

3.The SFM provider queries the associated hardware device for property information.

4.The SFM provider returns the query information to the CIMOM.

5.The CIMOM conveys the responses from the provider to the CMS.
