Use the Select from CMDB dialog box to select one or more
software image configuration items (CIs) for the Definitive Media
Library (DML) repository that you are working with. You select from
a list of software image CIs that are registered to the Configuration
Management Database (CMDB).
Before you begin
Use this option when you have not associated
an operational management product (OMP) with a repository. Software
images that you select from CMDB are not managed by an OMP. Therefore,
you cannot specify the software images for automated distribution using
the OMP. You populate a repository with software images from CMDB
in order to create a store room-type repository, a file system, or
some other repository that is not managed by an OMP. These images
can be used for a manual distribution task, such as creating a CD
or a DVD that can be manually distributed for installation on a specified
set of computers.
