CI blackouts

Users who have the AllowImpactMode permission can create blackouts on Service model CI. ProactivePack then uses the standard BMC mechanisms to set/unset maintenance on a given CI.

To do this :

1.       Select the “Business Service” blackout type in the “Add blackout” dialog

2.       Select the CI to blackout using the “Component Type” and “Component Name” dropdown list.

3.       Optionally, tick the option “apply to all providers” so that all providers of the selected CI are also put in blackout.

Turning this option on may have performance impacts on the cell if a large number of CI are involved in this operation

4.       The rest of the dialog is identical to the normal event blackout.
