Planning for configuration management
Before you begin the integration process, decide how you want to implement configuration management. The key decision is which types of configuration items you want to manage.
About this task
There are two major areas of planning. Be sure to read the information about Planning for configuration management in the information center before you begin.
- Understand what items are present in your IT environment.
- Narrow down the list to the items and attributes that you want to manage.
You can complete most of the deployment steps, through importing the CI type data, without knowing which CI types you intend to manage. Do not activate CI types or import actual CI data until you make these decisions.
