Configuring vendor-specific devices
BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management supports the following devices:
Note
Please note that BMC cannot test every device type against every possible hardware model and operating system version that a vendor has produced in the past or might produce in the future. It is difficult to predict if your specific combination will function perfectly or not. Therefore BMC cannot guarantee that the out-of-the-box content will work 100% on every device you have. However, most such issues can be easily remedied with small fixes to the adapter logic that can be imported immediately into your system. Please work with BMC customer support to resolve such issues and help improve our baseline for everyone.
