Default Blueprint for Host to Storage linkage

Use this application blueprint to create business services to monitor a host with storage system deployments.

Before you begin

Discover CIs, CI Kinds, and their relationships through BMC Helix Discovery or any other supported data ingestion mechanism such as API calls.

Nodes, connections, and filters

The blueprint contains information about interconnected nodes, their relationships, and the default filter criteria.

  • Start node: Host through which the storage volumes and pools are accessible
  • Traversal path and connected nodes: Virtual Machine, Disk Drives, Host, Hardware Container, and other Storage member nodes

  • Default filter rules: The start node has a set filter criterion, as shown in the image. When creating the service model, the service designer must select the Start CI name as input.

Discontinued versionStarting with version 24.1.01, BMC has released version 2.0 of this out-of-the-box blueprint and no longer supports version 1.0. However, if you want to continue using version 1.0, export the blueprint from the earlier version of BMC Helix AIOps and import it into the current version of BMC Helix AIOps.

Version 1.0 nodes, connections, and filters

The blueprint contains information about interconnected nodes, their relationships, and the default filter criteria.

  • Start node: Host through which the file and disk drive storage system are accessible
  • Traversal path and connected nodes: Virtual Machine, Disk Drive, Host, File System, and other Storage member nodes
