Onboarding the Terremark Logical Data Centers

A Logical Data Center is a logical construct that can be any external data center entity. For example, in the context of a Terremark Cloud provider, a Logical Data Center is a combination of environment and compute pool. A Logical Data Center is similar to and at the same hierarchical level as a network container. Both a Logical Data Center and a network container belong to a logical hosting environment, which acts as a separate, abstract entity that contains the data for the Logical Data Center or network container.

This topic describes how to customize BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management to manage the Terremark Logical Data Centers and contains the following information:

• • Before you begin
  • To onboard a Logical Data Center
  • To edit a Logical Data Center
  • To offboard a Logical Data Center

1. Registered the Terremark provider instance.
