xCP environment registration Part II
The heart of the xCelerated Management System version 1.0 are the xms-tools.
The tool include the Command Line Interface (CLI) , the xMS Agent, the xMS Server and some batch files.
The xms.bat is called CLI in the documentation and located in the main bin folder. Ensure you have set the xms-server.properties file correctly (located in the folder config). The CLI is not only a small administrative command tool, you can display all environments (show-environments) or one in detail (show-environment-details –name test_xcp) , import and export the configuration, show/create/disable users and execute the deployment into the registed environment.

The xMS Server is only available, if you have installed the vFabric tc Server in your VMWare environment.
The xMS Agent reffered to the xms-env-registration-ui.bat. In this user-interface you can add all your available Documentum components (eg.: Repository, CTS, CIS, BAM, etc). This Agent make your xCP Applications in your environment available.

xCelerated Management System Version 1.0
My first impression about IIG’s xMS technology was great: automate environment provisioning sounds good and automate xCP application deployment into a VM infrastructure sounds much better. Blueprint deployments, custom environment profiles and reduceing of deployments from weeks to hours were too tempting. Meaningful features like automated monitoring and environment reporting let me be curious.
But be carefull, you need at least one ESXi Server and one vCenter Server to create a VM infrastructure. And the VMware vFabric tc Server is requiered to create and manage Documentum deployments. For monitoring and environment the VMware vFabric HypericEnterprise Software is required.
