Custom Property Description
VCloud.Lease.Sync.TimeBufferMins
Specifies a threshold integer value for a compute resource such
that lease synchronization between vCloud Director and
vRealize Automation will only occur for vCloud Director or
VMware vCloud
®
Air™-provisioned machines that are set to
expire in vCloud Director or VMware vCloud
®
Air™ in that time
period. If a conflict is found, the lease value is synchronized to
match the lease length defined invRealize Automation. The
default VCloud.Lease.Sync.TimeBufferMins value is 720
minutes, which is 12 hours. If
VCloud.Lease.Sync.TimeBufferMins is not present, the
default value is used. For example, if the default values are
used, vRealize Automation will run the lease synchronization
check workflow every 45 minutes, which is the workflow default,
and only the leases of machines that are set to expire within 12
hours are changed to match the lease length defined in
vRealize Automation.
VCloud.Template.MakeIdenticalCopy
Set to True to clone an identical copy of the vApp template in
vCloud Director and provision the results in
vRealize Automation. This ignores all settings specified in the
blueprints except the name of the vApp and its virtual machines.
The storage path specified in the vApp template during cloning
is used, even if a different storage path is specified in a vApp
component blueprint or when requesting a vApp machine.
Set to False to clone a copy of the vApp template with settings
specified by the vApp and vApp component blueprints.
VMware.SCSI.Type
For vApps and vSphere, specifies the SCSI machine type using
one of the following case-sensitive values:
n
buslogic
Use BusLogic emulation for the virtual disk.
n
lsilogic
Use LSILogic emulation for the virtual disk (default).
n
lsilogicsas
Use LSILogic SAS 1068 emulation for the virtual disk.
n
pvscsi
Use para-virtualization emulation for the virtual disk.
n
none
Use if a SCSI controller does not exist for this machine.
Configure vApp Component Blueprint Actions
Use blueprint actions and entitlements together to maintain detailed control over provisioned machines.
