Installing providers and dependent load modules

When you develop a CMPI provider, you ship a provider module, a dynamic load library (DLL) module, and, if applicable, its dependent libraries.

• _ We recommend to store the provider DLL and its dependent libraries in a separate hierarchical file system directory, such as /usr/lpp/myProd/provider.
• _ On systems where program control is enabled, flag the provider DLL and its dependent libraries as program controlled using the extattr UNIX System Services command:

  extattr +p <providerfile>

  We recommend to flag all modules as program controlled by default.
