  • 1.  mark computers on public clouds

    Posted Wed June 28, 2023 02:54 AM

    Question to the ILMT support people,

    I'm asking myself:

    If I'm using ILMT versions beginning from 9.2.30, Can I use "Mark as Public Cloud" on computers in general for all purposes (disconnected scanners, Bigfix senario and Ansible senario) instead setting up different configuration for the different scenarios?

    regards Michael

    Hi Michael,

    indeed, the answer is Yes.
    In ILMT 9.2.30, we introduce the capability to set Computers (VMs/LPARs) has been hosted on eligible public clouds as per IBM BYOSL licensing policy and related eligible providers and services from the ILMT UI instead of doing it via Fixlets (when using BigFix) or as part of the Disconnected Scanner configuration (Ansible and Lite).
    Here is the IBM BYOSL licensing policy as reference:
    https://www.ibm.com/software/passportadvantage/eligible_public_cloud_BYOSL_policy.html

    The ILMT UI provided feature simplifies the management and operational tasks.
