What BLCLI commands can be used for enrolling a VM in BBSA?
 

Legacy ID:KA383365

Once the RSCD agent has been installed on the VM, the following BLCLI commands can be used for BBSA VM enrollment process and these commands can be run from NSH console:

BLCLI Session creation commands -

blcli_setoption authType BLSSO
blcli_setoption serviceProfileName <profile name>
blcli_setoption roleName BLAdmins
blcred cred -acquire -profile <profile name> -username BLAdmin -password <password>

Command to add the Server in BSA -

blcli_execute Server addServer <Server Name>

Command to add Virtualization PSI object for the Server -

blcli_execute PropertyInstance createInstance "Class://SystemObject/Virtualization" "<server name> “<description>”

There is a REST call to live browse VC server to get the Server details –

VC Server GUID in BSA -

https://<BSA Server machine>:<WS port>/type/PropertySetClasses/SystemObject/Server/?name=<VC Server name>&username=BLAdmin&password=<password>&role=BLAdmins

https://<BSA Server machine>:<WS port>/id/SystemObject/Server/<VC Server guid from above output>/Assets/BMC_VMware_VirtualInfrastructureManager/Virtual%20Machines/<Server name>/Server%20Properties/?username=BLAdmin&password=<password>&role=BLAdmins  (This command will show you All the Server properties on the VC)

If you need to specify property then you can access it by its attribute value –

https://<BSA Server machine>:<WS port>/ id/SystemObject/Server/<VC Server guid from above output>/Assets/BMC_VMware_VirtualInfrastructureManager/Virtual%20Machines/<Server name>/Server%20Properties/AssetAttributeValues/Entity%20ID/?username=BLAdmin&password=<password>&role=BLAdmins

https://<BSA Server machine>:<WS port>/ id/SystemObject/Server/<VC Server guid from above output>/Assets/BMC_VMware_VirtualInfrastructureManager/Virtual%20Machines/<Server name>/Server%20Properties/AssetAttributeValues/Entity%20Manager/?username=BLAdmin&password=<password>&role=BLAdmins

Now Add these Values to PSI object through BLCLI –

blcli_execute PropertyInstance setOverriddenValue Class://SystemObject/Virtualization/<Server PSI name> VIRTUAL_ENTITY_ID <value for Entity ID from the REST call>
blcli_execute PropertyInstance setOverriddenValue Class://SystemObject/Virtualization/<Server PSI name> VIRTUAL_ENTITY_MANAGER <value for Entity Manager from the REST call>
blcli_execute PropertyInstance setOverriddenValue Class://SystemObject/Virtualization/<Server PSI name> VIRTUAL_ENTITY_TYPE <VMWare Virtual Machine>

Once the PSI object is properly created, you need to add the PSI object to the Servers VIRTUALIZATION property –

blcli_execute Server setPropertyValueByName <Server Name> "VIRTUALIZATION*" Class://SystemObject/Virtualization/<PSI Object name>

Change the IS_VIRTUAL property to true for the Server –

blcli_execute Server setPropertyValueByName <Server Name> "IS_VIRTUAL” “true”

After the Server is properly updated, run the Update Server Properties against the server –

blcli_execute Utility updateServersStatus <server name> 90 60000 true
