7.4

When you import the OVF, user-configurable properties and values in the OVF are not imported as
custom properties in the value set. If you want to use new custom properties from the imported OVF in
relation to the image value set, you must manually define the new custom properties in the vSphere
machine component or overall blueprint. The custom properties created in the parameterized blueprint
should be applicable to the value set for each component profile image.
Note The OVF custom properties for vRealize Automation are not applicable to OVF custom properties
for vSphere. Consider creating one image value set for vRealize Automation and one image value set for
vSphere.
For more information about using component profiles for blueprint parameterization, see Understanding
and Using Blueprint Parameterization.
