What to do next
Tenant administrators, business group managers, and service architects configure your catalog item and
associate it with a service so that entitled users can request it from the catalog. For information about
configuring and managing the catalog, see Tenant Administration.
Configuring Advanced Blueprint Settings
Tenant administrators and business group managers can use custom properties and optional policies to
configure advanced blueprint settings such as reservation policies, Visual Basic scripts, and Active
Directory cleanup.
Configuring Network Settings
You can also specify aspects of network configuration such as static IP address assignment, the networks
to which machines should be attached, and other networking details.
By default, vCloud Automation Center uses DHCP to assign IP addresses to provisioned machines. For
cloud and virtual machines provisioned by using cloning or Linux kickstart/autoYaST provisioning, it is
possible to assign static IP addresses from a predefined range. Static IP address assignment can be
configured either at the reservation level or at the blueprint level.

Custom Properties for Networking
The vRealize Automation custom properties for networking specify configuration for a specific network
device on a machine.
Note This information does not apply to Amazon Web Services.
Network assignments are performed during machine allocation. vRealize Automation retrieves network
information from the blueprint. If you want to assign more than one network, use the
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.Name custom property on your machine blueprint. If you do not provide
custom properties, allocation only assigns one network, which is picked using a round robin method in
conjunction with the selected reservation.
By default, a machine has one network device configured with the VirtualMachine.Network0.Name
property. You can configure additional network devices by using the VirtualMachine.NetworkN.Name
custom property.
The numbering of network properties must be sequential, starting with 0. For example, if you specify
custom properties for only VirtualMachine.Network0 and VirtualMachine.Network2, the properties
for VirtualMachine.Network2 are ignored, because the preceding network,
VirtualMachine.Network1, was not specified.
