4 Edit the agent configuration file, VRMAgent.exe.config, in the EPI agent installation directory and
replace CitrixProvisioningUnregister.ps1 with DecomMachine.ps1.
a Locate the following line.
<DynamicOps.Vrm.Agent.EpiPowerShell
registerScript="CitrixProvisioningRegister. ps1"
unregisterScript="CitrixProvisioningUnregister.ps1"/>
b Change the line to match the following line.
<DynamicOps.Vrm.Agent.EpiPowerShell
registerScript="CitrixProvisioningRegister. ps1"
unregisterScript="DecomMachine.ps1"/>
5 If you intend to provision by cloning with a static IP address assignment, you can enable BMC
BladeLogic registration of provisioned machines by IP address rather than by machine name.
a Edit the files InstallSoftware.ps1 and DecomMachine.ps1 in theScripts folder in the EPI
agent directory and change the line $byip=$false to $byip=$true. edit the files
InstallSoftware.ps1 and DecomMachine.ps1 in the Scripts folder in the EPI agent directory
and change the line $byip=$false to $byip=$true.
b If you enable registration by IP address by making the above change, you must provision by
using static IP address assignment, otherwise, BMC BladeLogic integration fails.
6 Select Start > Administrative Tools > Services to start the EPI/BMC agent service
(vRealize Automation Agent – agentname service).
7 Place all the BMC BladeLogic jobs you want available to be selected by machine requestors or
specified by blueprint architects under a single location within BMC BladeLogic Configuration
Manager, for example, /Utility.
8 Prepare a reference machine and convert it to a template for cloning.
a Install a BMC BladeLogic agent that points to the server on which BMC BladeLogic Configuration
Manager is running.
b Verify that you are able to connect to the agent on the guest and successfully execute jobs as
expected after provisioning.
Tenant administrators and business group managers can now integrate BMC BladeLogic into clone
blueprints. See Add BMC BladeLogic Integration to a Blueprint.
