5 (Optional) Select the External check box if you do not want to specify external IPAM settings.
If you select the External check box, the IPAM Configuration tab is removed.
6 Click the IPAM Configuration tab to specify a new or edit an existing subnet, IP range, and gateway
for the network specified in a container component in the blueprint.
IPAM configuration applies to new networks that are created by vRealize Automation as opposed to
those that have been previously created in Docker or other supported container application. These
settings are not validated and provisioning fails if the settings overlap with other networks. For
example, the subnet and gateway must be unique within the container host.
7 Click the Properties tab to specify custom properties for the component.
If you select the Property Groups tab and click Add, the following options are available:
n
Container host properties with certificate authentication
n
Container host properties with user/password authentication
If additional property groups have been defined, they are also listed.
If you select the Custom Properties tab and click Add you can add individual custom properties to
the container component.
