About BMC Discovery Solution About BMC Discovery Solution BMC Discovery Solution provides the complete business service model discovery of people, processes, and technology, and populates that information into the BMC Atrium Configuration Management Database ( CMDB). Independently, Discovery and Dependency Mapping ( Discovery), BMC BladeLogic Client Automation (previously known as BMC Configuration Automation for Clients), and BMC Identity Discovery populate the CMDB from their own perspective. By enabling the understanding of actual changes to configuration states, BMC Configuration Drift Management makes the process of managing this information practical, as solution components update the CMDB with changes on a regular basis. As a license add-on, Dashboards and Analytics allows executive visualization and reporting of discovered resources and how they are related to business services. Discovery for IBM z/os - License Add-on extends discovery to mainframe environments. The integration points for BMC Discovery Solution are at the CMDB level, rather than among the products themselves. The products in this bundle were not intended to coexist on the same computer. Instead, they are packaged together to ensure that you are fully aware of and have the use of the included BMC Discovery Solution offerings that best fit your unique discovery need. Table 1 on page 3 provides an overview of the products and components in BMC Discovery Solution. NOTE For installation, product interoperability, and other information about individual products, see the Read This First document, installation guide, and release notes for each product that you download. 2 Release Notification December 18, 2009

About BMC Discovery Solution Table 1 Products and components in BMC Discovery Solution (part 1 of 2) Product or component Discovery and Dependency Mapping 8.1.00 Discovery and Dependency Mapping Extended Data Pack 8.1.00 Description Automatically discovers configuration items (CIs) across disparate technology layers from switches to business applications and all the dependencies in between and provides the information in a single, automated view. BMC Atrium Discovery maps business applications to their underlying physical and virtual infrastructure so you can see exactly how your infrastructure supports your business. Discovery automatically populates and maintains CIs in BMC Atrium CMDB, such as servers, software products, and business applications, including the dependencies between them. Customers who intend to use Discovery as the sole source of data to populate their CMDB should use version 8.1.00. Important Discovery 8.1.00 is still being integrated into the larger BMC suite of products. You should not use version 8.1.00 to populate CMDB if it is also being populated by other BMC discovery providers such as BMC BladeLogic or BMC BladeLogic Client Automation (formerly BMC Configuration Automation for Clients). Use of multiple BMC discovery providers will result in duplicate computer system configuration items (CIs) being inserted into the BMC Asset dataset. If you currently utilize multiple BMC Discovery providers, please continue to use Discovery 7.5.01 or earlier. BMC is currently working on full compatibility with other BMC Discovery providers and plans to release an update shortly. BMC BladeLogic Client Automation 8.1.00 BMC Identity Discovery 7.5.00 BMC Configuration Drift Management 7.5.00 Discovery for z/os 1.5.01 Discovery version 7.5.01 is available on CD or available for download at http://webapps.bmc.com/epd. Provides agent-based, highly-detailed, hardware, software title, and OS patch attribute discovery of client devices. Software title discovery data is also used to populate the Product Catalog application and Definitive Media Library (DML). Discovers and populates CMDB with identity (people, group) and access data as well as their relationships to the applications they use, adding an end-user perspective to service models defined in the CMDB service catalog. Enables the detection and management of CMDB configuration changes through baseline and target configuration state definition, measurement, and reporting. This information in turn can be used to correlate configuration changes with formal change process tickets, incidents, and problems for change process optimization resulting in faster problem resolution. Discovers z/os hardware, applications, and the relationships between them, enabling the enrichment of application dependency maps and service models in CMDB with mainframe information. Note: BMC Discovery for z/os 1.5.01 is supported with Discovery 7.5.01, Discovery 7.5.00, or BMC Topology Discovery 1.6.00. BMC Discovery for z/os is not supported with Discovery 8.1.00.
