Table 4‑32. Properties Tab Settings (Continued)
Tab Setting Description
View merged properties If a custom property is included in more
than one property group, the value
included in the property group with the
highest priority takes precedence. You can
view these merged properties to assist you
in prioritizing property groups.
Custom Properties You can add individual custom properties instead of property groups.
Name For a list of custom property names and
behaviors, see Custom Properties Reference.
Value Enter the value for the custom property.
Encrypted You can choose to encrypt the property
value, for example, if the value is a
password.
Overridable You can specify that the property value
can be overridden by the next or
subsequent person who uses the property.
Typically, this is another architect, but if
you select Show in request, your business
users are able to see and edit property
values when they request catalog items.
Show in request If you want to display the property name
and value to your end users, you can select
to display the property on the request
form when requesting machine
provisioning. You must also select
overridable if you want users to provide a
value.
Applying an NSX Transport Zone to a Blueprint
An NSX administrator can create transport zones to control cluster use of networks.
If the blueprint contains an on-demand network, you must specify the NSX transport zone that contains the
networks used by the provisioned machine deployment. The same transport zone must be specied in the
reservation.
Applying an NSX Edge or Routed Gateway Reservation Policy to a Blueprint
You can specify a reservation policy to manage the network communications for machines provisioned by
the blueprint. When requesting machine provisioning, the reservation policy is used to group the
reservations that can be considered for the deployment. The routed gateway reservation policy is also
referred to as an edge reservation policy.
Networking information is contained in each reservation. When the machines are provisioned, an edge or
routed gateway is allocated as the network router to manage network communications for the provisioned
machines in the deployment. You can add or edit blueprint-level properties by using the blueprint
properties page.
A routed gateway reservation policy is optional. It controls which reservation or reservations can be used to
provision the NSX edge associated to on-demand networking and on-demand load balancer components
specied in the blueprint.
You use reservation policies to control the selection of reservations. You select a reservation policy in your
virtual machine denition in the blueprint and then assign that policy to the reservations that you want your
virtual machines to use.
You cannot share reservations among multiple business groups.
