Re: BMC Discovery
I access discovery via Remote Desktop and we access Discovery via SSH. I just log into a gui.bat, give my credentials. Correction - we discover the Linux/Unix server but Discovery does not display the Chassis serial # and the Bios Serial #, the model, manufacturer. The serial # we receive is scrambled. We receive the Name, Class Name, Host Name, via the Discovery tool. In a message dated 10/6/2009 9:57:49 A.M.

BMC Discovery
We are on using BMC Discovery - and we are unable to discover Linux, UNIX server info - such as ip address, host name, etc. Is anyone else able to discover Linux and UNIX servers using BMC Discovery Tool? Do we have our environment configured incorrectly? ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor:rmisoluti...@verizon.net ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"

Re: question about ITSM Product Catalog based on BMC discovery solution
Hi Fernando, I don't fully understand your issue but am interested in it as we are using BMC Topology Discovery and also wanted to have our own Tier 1-3 values. Did you enable best practice categorisation? We didn't so I have no experience of this in operation. We also don't use Change Management so I don't understand what happened to your categorisation when you installed it. Maybe if you can explain this a different way I might be able to overcome the Monday morning blues and understand your issue! We are using the Product Catalog Alias to convert discovery Tiers. It converts, for example, for Computer System, Harware/Machine/BMC Discovered to Hardware/Server/Physical. Cheers Peter > Hello... > > > > We just installed ITSM 7.0.3 (change management module).

question about ITSM Product Catalog based on BMC discovery solution
Hello... We just installed ITSM 7.0.3 (change management module). We already have BMC fundation and topology discovery populating the CMDB (2.1) with configuration items. BMC discovery categorizes all configuration items discovered and insert that categorization in the attributes Category, Type, Item of the CMDB forms. Now that we installed change management, I realized that the ITSM foundation product catalog is importing that data for the Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 categorization. Is there an option in ITSM to avoid this import? I prefer to have our own product categorization instead the one BMC Discovery uses.

Re: BMC Discovery Tool
If you're considering a BMC discovery product, I would strongly encourage you to consider using one of the agent-based ones. The cheaper agentless one (Foundation Discovery) is having some issues where we're trying to deploy it. It's not a bad product, but its functionality and flexibility to deal with some data issues are limited.

It depends. If you're using the CMDB, then it might be worth looking
into. If you're not using the CMDB, I wouldn't even consider the BMC
Discovery Suite.

already use and see if they have an interface. If you're running SMS,

Can I get input (pros/cons) on the above and whether it can be

Re: BMC Discovery Suite
Title: BMC Discovery Suite ** For a competitor, try FrontRange ITSM if you want. The problem may be that it shows very well, and has a couple of very nice features that Remedy doesn't have, but the engineering and support underneath it is not nearly as good as ARS. Also, don't even try to get expert help from their techies - there's like two of them, and they're stretched very thin. Price is similar to Remedy. So I'd use them as a comparison if your management understands that how things work is more important than how they look.
