Setting up the connection to BMC Atrium Orchestrator

Using the BMC Server Automation Console, you must add the configuration information required to connect to BMC Atrium Orchestrator.

Before you begin

From the BMC Server Automation Console, ensure that your role is granted the AOConfig.* and the AutomationPrincipal.* authorizations.

To set up the connection to BMC Atrium Orchestrator

1. Select Configuration > AO Configuration.
2. On the AO Configuration dialog box, click Add.

3.  On the Add new AO configuration dialog box, enter the configuration information required to connect to BMC Atrium Orchestrator, and then click OK.The [confluence_table-plus] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline.
   

   To test if you can connect to the CDP using the host, port, grid name, user name, and password details that you specified, click Check Connection.

4. To add additional CDP connections to BMC Atrium Orchestrator to ensure high availability, repeat step 2 and step 3 for each additional CDP instance of the same grid.
    If you define multiple BMC Atrium Orchestrator CDP instances, ensure that only one of your CDPs is set as the primary instance (using the Primary AO check box). Multiple CDPs installed on a grid form an HACDP environment and allow communication to continue even if a connection with one CDP fails.
5. In the AO Configuration dialog box, click Close.
