Table 8. Custom Properties for vApp Blueprints
Custom Property Description
Sysprep.Identification.DomainAdmin
Specifies a user name with administrator-level access to the
target domain in Active Directory. Do not include the user
domain in the credentials that you send to vCloud Director.
Sysprep.Identification.DomainAdminPassword
Specifies the password to associate with the
Sysprep.Identification.DomainAdmin property.
Sysprep.Identification.JoinDomain
Specifies the name of the domain to join in Active Directory.
VirtualMachine.DiskN.IsFixed Disables the editing of a specific disk when reconfiguring a
machine. Set to True to disable display of the edit capacity
option for a specific volume. The True value is case-sensitive.
The N value is the 0-based index of the disk.
Alternatively, you can set the
VirtualMachine.DiskN.IsFixed custom property to True in
the VirtualMachineProperties table in the database or use the
Repository API to specify a URI value such
as .../Repository/Data/ManagementModelEntities.svc/V
irtualMachines(guid'60D93A8A-F541-4CE0-
A6C6-78973AC0F1D2')/VirtualMachineProperties.
VirtualMachine.DiskN.StorageReservationPolicy Specifies the storage reservation policy to use to find storage for
disk N. Also assigns the named storage reservation policy to a
volume. To use this property, substitute the volume number for N
in the property name and specify a storage reservation policy
name as the value. This property is equivalent to the storage
reservation policy name specified on the blueprint. Disk
numbering must be sequential. This property is valid for all
Virtual and vCloud reservations. This property is not valid for
Physical or Cloud reservations, other than vCloud reservations.
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.Name Specifies the name of the network to connect to, for example the
network device N to which a machine is attached.
By default, a network is assigned from the network paths
available on the reservation on which the machine is
provisioned.
You can ensure that a network device is connected to a specific
network by setting the value of this property to the name of a
network on an available reservation.
VirtualMachine.NetworkN custom properties are designed to
be 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.
You can add this property to a vApp (vCloud) blueprint or a vApp
(vCloud) Component blueprint.
