Hi Lokesh,

Openstack is not yet officially supported.

For multi tenant setup this may help: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS8JFY_9.2.0/com.ibm.lmt.doc/Inventory/admin/t_identifying_public_clouds.html

Hi Andrej,

Thanks for the confirmation.

Can we have any information like how ILMT works for other public clouds like Amazon Azure etc. How ILMT is communicating with those public clouds.

Thanks,
Lokesh Arora

Hi Lokesh,

LMT does not talk to public clouds. It has values specified per cloud offering.
