Technical use case
BMC Atrium Discovery discovers physical and virtual servers as part of a scheduled or on-demand scan, and these servers are exported from BMC Atrium Discovery to the Discovery import dataset in the CMDB. The BMC Atrium CMDB Reconciliation Engine moves information on the servers from the BMC Atrium Discovery import dataset into the BMC Atrium CMDB production dataset.
Pertinent information can be pulled from the CMDB to other BMC products, including BMC BladeLogic Server Automation, BMC BladeLogic Network Automation, BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management, and BMC Capacity Management.
BMC BladeLogic Server Automation augments the information in the CMDB.
BMC BladeLogic Server Automation runs Component Discovery on the enrolled server. This information is extracted from BMC BladeLogic Server Automation by the ETL process of BMC BladeLogic Decision Support for Server Automation and pushed into the BMC BladeLogic Server Automation import dataset in the CMDB. It is then processed by the Reconciliation Engine into the production dataset.
