Accessing container images
The BMC Helix Innovation Suite and applications container images are hosted on BMC Docker Trusted Registry (DTR). BMC Docker Trusted Repository is available at https://containers.bmc.com
You can access the container images required to deploy BMC Helix Service Management in any of the following ways:
Method | Description | Reference |
---|---|---|
Access images directly from BMC DTR | Configure the deployment pipeline to access the container images directly from BMC DTR by using the image access key. This method requires a direct connection to the internet. While performing the BMC Helix Service Management installation, specify the following parameters so that the deployment pipeline can access the images directly from BMC DTR.

Access images from a local repository | Synchronize the container images to a local container repository, such as Harbor repository, and configure the deployment pipeline to use the container images from the local repository. This method allows you to perform a secure or air-gapped deployment that does not require a direct connection to the internet. Important: BMC certifies the use of the open-source Harbor repository to synchronize the container images with BMC DTR. You can choose any container repository solution that is compatible with the BMC Helix Service Management deployment. BMC does not anticipate any issues with alternative repositories. However, BMC does not provide support for alternative container repositories. | |
Access images from an air-gapped environment | First, synchronize the container images to a local container repository. Next, synchronize the images from the local repository to a repository in an air-gapped environment and then configure the deployment pipeline to use the container images from the repository in the air-gapped environment. |
