Supported target platforms

BladeLogic Portal supports different target platforms depending the type of actions you are performing.

Threat Director and Vulnerability Manager

The full functionality of Threat Director and Vulnerability Manager is available for the following platforms. Auto-mapping, which is a core feature of the portal, is only possible on those platforms.

• Windows
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux
• SuSE Linux

For other platforms, the portal allows manual mapping of vulnerabilities, although manual mapping of patch catalogs is not supported. Thus, you can use Threat Director and Vulnerability Manager to operate on other platforms as long as you manually map vulnerabilities.

Operations other than Threat Director and Vulnerability Manager

For other operations, BladeLogic Portal supports the same target servers as those supported by BMC Server Automation for the same job type.
