Deploying customization specification for vCenter virtual machine clone

You can apply customization specification to virtual machines deployed using ASM. A customization spec

allows you to create a spec with settings such as host name, domain name, network settings, static IPs

that can be applied to VM clones. Before deploying a customization spec, ensure that you have created a

spec and added it to the vCenter inventory. For more information on creating a customization spec, see

Creating customization specification for vCenter virtual machine clone.

NOTE: Customization specification only applies to VMware virtual machine clone.

To deploy customization specification for vCenter virtual machine clone:

1. Click Templates.

2. Create and edit the template. For more information on creating a template, see Creating template.

3. On the Template Builder page, click Add VM.
