Virtual Machine Component

Field Name Description

Virtual Disk Size (GB) Specifies the size to allocate for virtual machine hard disk.

Memory in MB Indicates the memory specified in GB while configuring a Virtual Machine.

Networks Allows you to set the virtual machine network or set static networks already created in ASM as

workload networks for the virtual machines.

NOTE: Static IPs are applicable only for vCenter Virtual Machine on which you are installing

Linux operating system.

Static Network Default

Gateway

Set the default gateway for the static network selected.

NOTE: This option is applicable only if you have set the Networks setting to a static

network.

Virtual Machine Settings (Clone Hyper-V Virtual Machine)

Auto-generate Name

Select to generate a new name for each virtual machine.

NOTE: If this option is selected, the VM Name Template field is displayed.

VM Name Template

Displays the naming convention followed for the virtual machines deployed in a service.

NOTE: The naming convention that is followed consists of vm${num), where

indicates a

static text that you can provide and

${num}

is a variable number that is enumerated for the

number of virtual machines that you create. For example, if you deploy a service with 3

virtual machines and if you select the auto-generate option and provide the name as vm,

the virtual machines are named as vm1, vm2, and vm3.

Description Indicates the number of CPUs specified while configuring a Virtual Machine.

Name Specifies the size to allocate for virtual machine hard disk.

Template Specifies the SCVMM virtual machine template name.

Path Specifies the storage path where VM clone is deployed.

Networks Specifies the ASM networks, which are connected to the virtual machine clone.

Block Dynamic

Optimization

If it is True, the block dynamic optimization is enabled. Possible values: True or False.

Highly Available Enables whether the VM is a highly available VM.

Number of CPUs Specifies the Number of CPUs to allocate to the virtual machine.

Memory in MB Specifies the memory to allocate to the virtual machine.

Start Action Selects the action to perform automatically when the virtualization server starts.

Stop Action Selects the action to perform when the virtualization server stops.

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
