IBM Cloud Infrastructure Center (CIC) Providers

IBM Cloud Infrastructure Center (CIC)

IBM Cloud Infrastructure Center (CIC) is an advanced infrastructure management (OpenStack compatible) software that includes on-premises deployments of IBM z/VM®- and KVM-based Linux® virtual machines on the IBM Z® and LinuxONE platforms.

Adding IBM CIC Providers

Complete the following procedure to add an IBM CIC cloud provider in ManageIQ.

  1. Browse to menu: Compute > Clouds > Providers.

  2. Click Configuration, then click 1862 (Add a New Cloud Provider).

  3. From the Type list, select IBM Cloud Infrastructure Center.

  4. Enter a Name for the provider.

  5. Select the appropriate Zone.

  6. Enter the CIC region in Provider Region.

  7. Select the appropriate Domain ID.

  8. (Optional) Enable tenant mapping by toggling the Tenant Mapping Enabled option to On. This synchronizes resources and users between the IBM CIC provider and ManageIQ. By default, tenant mapping is disabled.

  9. Under Endpoints, in the Default tab:

    1. Select a Security Protocol method to specify how to authenticate the provider:

      • SSL without validation: Authenticate the provider insecurely using SSL.

      • SSL: Authenticate the provider securely using a trusted Certificate Authority. Select this option if the provider has a valid SSL certificate and it is signed by a trusted Certificate Authority. No further configuration is required for this option. This is the recommended authentication method.

      • Non-SSL: Connect to the provider insecurely using only HTTP protocol, without SSL.

    2. In CIC API Endpoint (Hostname or IPv4/IPv6 address), enter the public IP or fully qualified domain name of the CIC API endpoint.

    3. In API Port, set the public port used by the CIC API. By default, CIC is configured to use port 5000.

    4. In the API Username field, enter the name of a user in the CIC environment.

      The user must have the **admin** role for the relevant domain.

    5. In the API Password field, enter the password for the user.

    6. Click Validate to confirm ManageIQ can connect to the CIC provider.

  10. Click Add.
