The test behavior needs to be changed for the sblim case.

1) If SBLIM:  Enum of HostSystem doesn't return any instances
2) If not SBLIM:  Enum of HostSystem returns a single instance

If you take a look at the get_host() in Virt_HostSystem.c, you'll get an 
understanding of how the providers determine whether a SBLIM instance is 
available on the system.

Does this help?
