The following procedures explain how to integrate the existing brownfield BMC products to the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management solution:
Before you begin
To integrate one or more of the BMC products listed in this topic, you must first prepare them, as follows:
If any of the listed standalone BMC products are available in your environment, make sure that they meet the supported version requirements.
- Make sure that the host on which the products are installed meets the prerequisites.
Depending on the BMC product that you want to integrate from the following table, perform the preparatory steps:
To integrate brownfield BMC Server Automation into BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management
To integrate an existing brownfield BMC Server Automation environment into BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management, perform the following steps:
- Launch the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management installer.
- In the Select Installation Type panel, select Install and then click Next.
- In the Select Deployment Type panel, select Integrate with an Existing Deployment, and then click Next.
- Review the integration disclaimer, agree to its terms, and then click Next.
- In the BMC Installation Registry panel, specify if you have an existing backup registry, and then click Next.
This example did not use a backup registry. - Select the Deployment Template (for example, Small Deployment), and then click Next.
You cannot choose Compact Deployment to integrate BMC Server Automation because it runs on a single host. - In the Deployment Tier Selection panel, select Control Tier (where you can select BMC Server Automation) and then click Next.
- Select BMC Server Automation – App Server & Console, enter the host name where BMC Server Automation is installed, and then click Next.
- Review the integration summary, and then click Next.
- When the BMC Server Automation integration is finished, click Modify Existing Deployment to complete the pending BMC Server Automation post-installation steps or to add new products, and then click Next.
- Continue with other integrations, installations, or upgrades.
For example, to upgrade your environment, you must integrate BMC AR System Server - Cloud Portal and Database - Primary to continue.
