Table 1‑14. Custom Properties for Networking Configuration (Continued)
Custom Property My Value Description
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.PortID
Specifies the port ID to use for network
device N when using a dvPort group with
a vSphere distributed switch.
VirtualMachine.NetworkN custom
properties are specific to individual
blueprints and machines. When a
machine is requested, network and IP
address allocation is performed before
the machine is assigned to a reservation.
Because blueprints are not guaranteed to
be allocated to a specific reservation, do
not use this property on a reservation.
This property is not supported for on-
demand NAT or on-demand routed
networks.
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.Profile
Name and
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.Network
ProfileName
Specifies the name of a network profile
from which to assign a static IP address
to network device N or from which to
obtain the range of static IP addresses
that can be assigned to network device N
of a cloned machine, where N=0 for the
first device, 1 for the second, and so on.
n
Use
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.Profil
eName to select any network from the
reservation regardless of whether it
has a corresponding network profile.
n
Use
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.Networ
kProfileName to only select
networks that have a corresponding
network profile with the same name.
The network profile that the property
points to is used to allocate an IP
address. However, the provisioned
machine is attached to any network that is
selected in the reservation using a round-
robin fashion model.
