Running Snapshot Jobs and Audit Jobs on UCS nodes


You can run BMC Server Automation Snapshot and Audit jobs on selected nodes in a UCS system. You can also create compliance rules for UCS nodes and include them in your snapshot and audit operations.

To run Snapshot and Audit Jobs on a UCS node

  1. Open the Servers folder and navigate to the BMC Server Automation UCS Manager server.
  2. Right-click the server and select Browse.
    The BMC Server Automation UCS Manager server opens in the Content Editor on the right.
  3. Choose the Live Browse tab.
  4. Navigate to the node on which you want to run the snapshot or audit job. For a list of available nodes, see BMC Server Automation UCS asset nodes.
  5. Right-click the node and select either Snapshot or Audit.
    For detailed information about Snapshot Jobs and Audit Jobs, see Change-tracking and Auditing.

Compliance rules for Snapshot and Audit Jobs

The following table lists available values for creating compliance rules for UCS asset types. For detailed information about creating compliance rules and using the compliance rule editor, see Compliance-tab-for-a-component-template.
