Setting up Illumio to work with Enterprise Connector

Make sure that Illumio is set up to work with the BMC AMI Enterprise Connector for Illumio product.

Configuring Illumio PCE

Configure the following items in Illumio Policy Compute Engine (PCE):

  1. Define mainframe resources as CISCO switches.
    EC for Illumio calls these resources devices. For more information, see DEVICES in the Commands topic.
  2.  Allocate workloads to the device, where each workload represents one or more IP addresses on an LPAR.
    For example, you can define one workload per IP address type (such as OSA, VIPA, DVIPA).
  3. Define mainframe applications as services.
  4. Define rules to allow specified network resources to access specified workloads and specified services on the workloads. 

The HOSTNAME on a Workload definition specifies the 4 character LPAR name to which is applies. This is how we tie a Workload definition into a specific LPAR.
