Tab Description Important Parameters
Network Enables you to select
networking for the virtual
machine blueprint. For most
blueprints, you can accept the
defaults and the consumer will
enter the appropriate network
information during deployment.
Note You can create only one
virtual machine per interface,
but each virtual machine can
have up to four interfaces.
Click the table to open a dialog to the right that contains another
editable table with the following fields.
n
Load Balancer Name - The load balancer used with the Azure
instance.
n
Number of Network Interfaces - Select the number of network
interfaces used with the Azure instance. The number of network
interfaces must be supported by the virtual machine size as
selected on the Storage tab.
n
Network interface - Select the appropriate network interface for
the virtual machine blueprint. If you enter an existing network,
you can ignore all other network tabs. If you enter a network
interface name that does not exist, a new interface with that
name is created, and you can use the other Network tabs to
configure the interface.
n
NIC Name Prefix - The prefix for the network interface card.
n
IP Address Type - Indicate whether the virtual machine uses a
static or dynamic IP address.
n
Networking Configuration - Enter the appropriate networking
configuration. Network profiles are supported. There are two
options, Specify Azure Networks and Use Network Profile,
and the subsequent fields change depending on which option
you select.
n
The following options are available if you select Specify
Azure Networks. If you leave these text boxes empty, then
default network constructs are used based on information
specified in the applicable reservation.
n
vNet Name - Name of the virtual network
n
subNet Name - The domain name of the Azure subnet.
Note You can set the public IP address for Azure during
day 2 operations.
n
If you select Use Network Profile, the network configuration
is detached from underlying Azure constructs and is instead
coupled with the vRealize Automation networking profile.
n
If you leave the Network Profile text box empty, the
default Azure vNet and subnet pair are resolved based
on applicable reservations which have a network profile
specified.
n
If you enter a network profile, then the Azure vNet and
subnet are resolved based on the matching reservation.
Properties Enables you to add custom
properties to your blueprint.
Custom properties applied
here can be overridden by
properties assigned later in the
precedence chain. For more
information about order of
precedence for custom
properties, see Custom
Properties Reference.
There are two options for adding custom properties as represented
by two tabs on the Properties dialog.
n
Property Groups: These are reusable groups that simplify the
process of adding custom properties. There are four options for
selecting property groups:
n
Add - Enables you to add an available property group to the
blueprint.
n
Move up/Move down - Enables you to control the
precedence of property groups. The first group has the
highest priority, and its custom properties take first
precedence.
