Hi Frank,

you have to register NPI derived providers instead of using the
qualifier; in fact, Pegasus just ignores the qualifier, so you can
safely use the mof-files (even the mofs for java). To register your
provider you should use the Register.mof files for the linux providers
as template.
For testing I recommend the CLI command line interface that is part of
SBLIM (another cvs module). It uses the pegasus libraries which either
have to be somewhere in /usr/lib or in local libraries specified with
the PEGASUS_HOME variable. The syntax is CLI <method> <CIMObjectPath>,
for example CLI enumInstances
http://your_host:5988/root/cimv2:CIM_Process.

Regards
Markus
