Enhancements

BMC Network Automation 8.3.01 supported
BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management version 3.1.x supports BMC Network Automation 8.3.01 hotfix 6. For details, see KA308017.
BMC Capacity Optimization 9.0 Service Pack 3 supported
BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management version 3.1 Service Pack 1 supports BMC Capacity Optimization 9.0 Service Pack 3.
Support for VMware vCloud Director 5.1
Earlier versions of BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management supported VMware vCloud Director version 1.5 only. This service pack adds support for VMware vCloud Director version 5.1. This enhancement also includes support for the VM shutdown option for VMware vCloud Director.
Networking enhancements
The following table describes the networking enhancements included in this service pack:
New parameter added to specify the Template Disk size
In addition to the affinity settings for the Capacity-Aware Placement Advice (CAPA) service provided by the BMC Capacity optimization integration, you can add a BMCBootDiskSize application parameter to specify the Template Disk size of the virtual machine while defining a service blueprint and creating a Service Offering Instance.
Resizing an existing disk
For VMware virtual machines (VMs), administrators can add an end-user option to resize the local or system disks that are associated with existing VMs. You can resize the disks using the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management console. Administrators see Configuring a resize disk option choice, and end users see Resizing an existing disk for a VM.
Note
You can define only one Resize Disk option for each service request definition.
Support for multiple placement providers
If multiple placement providers are registered as targets, you can configure the disambiguation rules that identify which placement provider will handle the call. For details, see handle multiple providers as targets.
Version field removed while registering VMware vCloud providers
When you register a new VMware vCloud provider, you cannot view the Version field on the dialog box.
You longer need to provide the VMware vCloud version as BMC Cloud Lifeclycle Management automatically detects the correct VMware vCloud version.
