Manager Integration
vRealize Automation includes custom properties that you can use to provide additional controls for BMC
BladeLogic Configuration Manager integration.
Table 6‑1. Custom Properties Required for BMC BladeLogic Configuration Manager
Integrations
Custom Property Description
VirtualMachine.EPI.Type
Specifies the type of external provisioning infrastructure.
BMC.Software.Install
Set to True to enable BMC BladeLogic integration.
EPI.Server.Name
Specifies the name of the external provisioning infrastructure
server, for example, the name of the server hosting BMC
BladeLogic. If at least one general BMC EPI agent was installed
without specifying a BMC BladeLogic Configuration Manager
host, this value directs the request to the desired server.
If only dedicated BMC EPI agents for specific BMC BladeLogic
Configuration Manager hosts were installed, this value must
exactly match the server name configured for one of these
agents.
BMC.Service.Profile
Specifies the name of the default authentication profile on the
BMC BladeLogic server.
BMC.Software.BatchLocation
Specifies the location in BMC BladeLogic of software jobs to be
deployed. This value must match either the appropriate field in
Website\Software.txt or the appropriate value of
VRM.Software.IdNNNN, depending on the method used to
prepare software jobs for integration.
VMware.VirtualCenter.OperatingSystem
Specifies the vCenter Server guest operating system version
(VirtualMachineGuestOsIdentifier) with which
vCenter Server creates the machine. This operating system
version must match the operating system version to be installed
on the provisioned machine. Administrators can create build
profiles using one of several property sets, for example,
VMware[OS_Version]Properties, that are predefined to
include the correct VMware.VirtualCenter.OperatingSystem
values. This property is for virtual provisioning.
For a list of currently accepted values, see the
VMware vCenter Server documentation.
Custom Properties To Make BMC BladeLogic Configuration
Manager Software Jobs Available
Configure BMC BladeLogic Configuration Manager jobs for vRealize Automation integrations. Make all
software jobs available to machine requesters to select from, or specify a software job to apply to all
machines provisioned from the blueprint.
