Importing the ZipKit for IHS with Webserver plug-ins on RHEL 6.4

After you have downloaded the files for the ZipKit, use the eZDeploy toolkit to import the content and make it available for use by BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management. 

Before you begin

Ensure that you have completed the following tasks:

• Download the IHS with Webserver plug-ins ZipKit.
  
• Create an eZDeploy profile.

Importing the ZipKit

To import the ZipKit:

1. Locate the folder to which you downloaded the ZipKit.
2. Open a command prompt window and navigate to the folder to which you downloaded the ZipKit.
3. Execute the eZDeploy toolkit by issuing the following command:

The toolkit extracts the blueprint and the BMC Server Automation objects (packages and scripts) and makes them available for the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management. See Using-the-eZDeploy-utility for more information.

To configure network tags for blueprints

After eZDeploy toolkit makes the blueprint available for 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.

1. From the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management Administration Console, click the vertical Workspaces menu on the left side of the window and select Service Designer.
2. Open the service blueprint you imported in BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management, and open one of the Networks taggable object.
3. Click either the Tags field or the Add icon  next to the Tags field.
4. In the Tags menu, click the tag you want to add (for example, Blueprint[Web] or Blueprint[DB]). The tag is used to select the network to which the NIC should be attached (or routed).
