Selecting an OMP

Use the Select OMP dialog box to select one or more operational management systems (OMPs) for a Definitive Media Library (DML) repository, or to select an OMP that will manage a software deployment. The OMPs that you select have been discovered in your environment.

About this task

After you select associate an OMP with a repository for a software deployment, you can select software image CIs that are stored on the OMP for automated deployment operations. After you specify an OMP for a deployment, the specified OMP is used to deploy software images that it stores and manages.

If you are creating a DML repository, use this dialog box only if you want the associated software images to be images that are stored on the OMP. You are not required to select an OMP when you create a repository; if you do not specify an OMP, this dialog box is not displayed.

The dialog box lists all of the OMPs that have been discovered and configured in your environment.

To associate an OMP with a DML repository or a deployment:

Procedure

  1. Select the OMP that you want to associate with the repository or that you want to use for the deployment.
  2. Click OK.

What to do next

If you are creating a repository, you can now select software images that are stored on the OMP. After you select the software images, they are available as sources for automated software distribution tasks.
