Configuring multi-tier Terremark Provider resources in BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management

After you have installed and configured the Terremark Provider in the environment, you can begin managing the Terremark Provider resources within BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management. This topic describes how to register and configure the multi-tier Terremark resource provider offering.

This topic contains the following information:

• • Before you begin
  • To configure Terremark resources
  • To generate template URIs from Terremark Cloud API Explorer

Before you begin

Ensure that you have the required Terremark template URIs for creating an installable resource Definitive Media Library (DML) entry in the Product Catalog.

To configure Terremark resources

1. Create an installable resource DML entry in the Product Catalog.

   Click for steps

   1. Access the enterprise BMC Remedy AR System server by using the Mid-Tier URL: http(s)://<mid-tier hostname or IP address>:<portNumber>/arsys.
   2. Log on to the Mid-Tier by using the user name appadmin without a password.
   3. Navigate to Product Catalog > Product Catalog Console.
   4. Under General Functions, choose New Product/Suite.
   5. Under the Product Category section, click Create.
      
      

   6. Ensure that the following fields are completed with the specified entries.
   7. Click Save.
       The newly created product is listed in the Product Category list.
   8. Click Save.
2. Create a tenant company. 
3. Create blueprints according to the Terremark Cloud provider template specifications:
   1. In the Service Definition tab of the Service Blueprints Definition editor, create a component.
   2. In the Service Deployment Definitions tab of the Service Blueprints Definition editor, add resource sets.
   3. Edit the resource set details to specify the components, the compute resources, and the network resources.
      The resource set contains the installable resources that point to virtual machine templates in Terremark.
      
      • In the Installable Resource field in the Compute Resources pane, select the installable resource DML entry that you created in step 1.

      • In the Network Resources pane, specify the values for Network Interface Cards (NICs) according to the network labels defined in BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management.

        Note

        For additional information about creating service deployment definitions and resource sets, see Creating-Terremark-service-deployment-definitions-and-resource-sets.

4. Create a Service Catalog.
5. Onboard a tenant.
6. Select the required entitlement packages.  

To generate template URIs from Terremark Cloud API Explorer

Terremark template URIs are required when you create an installable resource DML entry in the Product Catalog.

For Terremark Templates

1. Log on to the Terremark Cloud API Explorer.
2. Select Services > Organization > Get Organizations.
3. Click Execute.
    Note the environmentId from the response that is generated.
4. Select Services > Compute Pool > Get Compute Pools.
5. Specify the environmentId and click Execute.
    Note the computePoolId from the response that is generated.
6. Select Services > Template > Get Templates.
7. Specify the computePoolId and click Execute.
    The generated response lists all the template URIs.

For Custom Templates

1. Log on to the Terremark Cloud API Explorer.
2. Select Services > Organization > Get Organizations.
3. Click Execute.
    Note the organzationId from the response that is generated.
4. Select Services > Catalog > GetCatalog.
5. Specify the organzationId and click Execute.
    The generated response lists all the custom template URIs in the CatalogEntry tag.

To use the TemplateExport utility

1. Download the TemplateExportUtility.zip file.
2. Extract the zip file contents.

3. In the Configuration.propertiesfile, set the following property values:

   Property	Value
   SERVER_URL	services.enterprisecloud.terremark.com
   USERNAME	<email of the user>
   PASSWORD	<password of the user>
   RESULT_FILE	<file name to be used for the .xls file>

4. Execute the following command from the directory where you have extracted the downloaded ExportTemplates.jarfile.

   java -jar ExportTemplates.jar

   This creates the .xls file listing the URls for all the Terremark templates in the same directory.

5. Use the template URl attribute to create the DML entries.
