To configure network tag for blueprint
After the eZDeploy toolkit imports the service blueprint in the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management, you need to configure the Network tags that were imported with the blueprint according to your environment.
When defining network resources (for example, Network Interface Card details), you can tag the NIC and then use the policies to match tags on networks in the container.
- From the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management Administration Console, click the vertical Workspaces menu on the left side of the window and select Service Blueprints.
- Open the service blueprint you imported in BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management, select the Service Deployment Definition.
- Select Resource set and click Edit.
- Click the Network Resources tab.
- In Network Select Method, select a tag (for example, Blueprint[Web] or Blueprint[DB]). The NIC tag is used to select the network to which the NIC should be attached (or routed).
- If you select Use Network Policies, the NIC tags are used to place the NIC on the network. The Service Governor selects the network based on a matching tag group and tag. See Tagging recommendations and examples for more details.
