Administrative tools
BMC Server Automation provides a number of tools and processes that administrators can use to improve their efficiency.
Tool | Description |
|---|---|
Custom commands | Custom commands allow you to perform many functions from within the BMC Server Automation Console that might otherwise require you to launch a command line interface like Network Shell or other external applications. |
Repeater servers | When you deploy a BLPackage or software package, the objects being deployed are copied to a staging directory on target servers. Often this involves copying large files to many target servers. In some situations, copying these objects to a repeater server can reduce network traffic. |
Routing rules | You can create routing rules to determine which Application Servers to use for job execution. |
Infrastructure Management window | The Infrastructure Management window provides a way to view and manage Application Servers and other servers that support BMC Server Automation operations. |
The following topics describe these tools and processes:
- Custom commands
- Setting up communications with remote servers
- Configuring servers to use repeaters during deployments
- Creating rules to determine Application Servers used for job execution
- Infrastructure management from the BMC Server Automation Console
