Integrate BMC BladeLogic 5
If a system from which BMC BladeLogic Configuration Manager deploys software is available on the
network and you have installed an EPI agent to interact with it, software can be deployed from it directly
to newly provisioned machines. The requesting user can select which software to deploy or the blueprint
can contain the specific jobs to be deployed on all machines provisioned from that blueprint.
