Running a CIM Plug-in on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5

To run a Common Information Model (CIM) plug-in on the RHEL 5 and SLES operating systems, you must create the following symbolic links:

1.	cd /usr/lib (for a 32-bit operating system) and cd /usr/lib64 (for a 64-bit operating system).

2.	Search for libcrypto and libssl libraries as follows:

ls -lrt libcrypto*, ls -lrt libssl*

3.	If the files libcrypto.so.4 and libssl.so.4 are missing, manually create symbolic links as follows:

ln -s libcrypto.so libcrypto.so.4
ln -s libssl.so libssl.so.4

For more information about CIM, see Installing and Supporting the MegaRAID Storage Manager Software on VMware.

If the .so files are not present in the /usr/lib directory, create a link with the existing version of the library. For example, if libcrypto.so.6 is present and libcrypto.so is not, create the link as follows:

ln -s libcrypto.so.6 libcrypto.so.4

On a 64-bit operating system, the system libraries are present in the /usr/lib64 directory by default. However, to support the CIM Plug-in, make sure that the libraries are also present in the /usr/lib directory by installing the appropriate RPMs.
