BMC Discovery Technology Knowledge Update 2018-Feb-ADDM-11.3 is a deliverable for BMC Atrium Discovery 10.2 and BMC Discovery 11.0, 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3 series.
TKU 2018-Feb-ADDM-11.3 is a special release of Technology Knowledge Update aimed to deliver fresh TKU content for BMC Discovery 11.3 release which has introduced new features and approaches to Discovery process. For more information about BMC Discovery 11.3 release please visit the product documentation: BMC Discovery 11.3.
If you have already installed the original version of the Technology Knowledge Update for February 2018, it is strongly recommended that you upgrade your TKU to this release and then remove the previous version from the appliance.
Product content updates require appliance restart
This TKU release contains product content additions. When product content is added, the appliance is restarted as part of the update. You are given the opportunity to prevent the restart, though if you do so, none of the knowledge content will be installed.
Virtual attribute updates
For the current release a new virtual attribute was added to NetworkDevice, SNMPManagedDevice and StorageDevice nodes (DRDC1-10528).
Release Compatibility
TKU 2018-Feb-ADDM-11.3 is released in the following streams:
- Release compatible with BMC Atrium Discovery 10.x series
- Release compatible with BMC Discovery 11.x series
Download
Customers can access this TKU release from the BMC Electronic Product Distribution Website. If you are a customer or partner and do not already have a login please contact your BMC account manager.

Enhanced Pattern Modules for Cluster Awareness in BMC Discovery 11.x series
BMC Discovery 11.0.x introduces a new extended cluster discovery.
Cluster Modeling approaches and Key changes:
- Clustering Platform that generate a Cluster Node. In most cases the Key does not change.
- Clustered Software. In previous releases, the SIs were modeled running on Host nodes. Now, if they are running on a cluster, they are modeled running on the Cluster node. That means that instances of these products that run on clusters have changed Keys. Instances that do not run on clusters do not have changed Keys.
- Software Performing Clustering - products that implement their own Clustering Scheme without using a Clustering Platform. In general, the SoftwareCluster is given the same Key that was previously given to the SoftwareInstance.
More about new clustering technologies and clustering models you may find here.
