    Unable to open the BMC Docker Trusted Registry (DTR) containers.bmc.com

    Getting the below error.

    Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at aws-epdmke-prd.bmc.com.

          Hello,

          You do not need to download the container images from BMC DTR. For information about the accessing the images, see Setting up a Harbor repository. During the installation of BMC Helix Innovation Suite, you can specify the required credentials and the installation pipeline pulls the images automatically.

          Thanks,

          Poonam
