Table 5‑2. Custom Properties for Networking Configuration (Continued)
Custom Property Description
VCNS.LoadBalancerEdgePool.Names.name Specifies the vCloud Networking and Security load balancing
pools to which the virtual machine is assigned during
provisioning. The virtual machine is assigned to all service ports
of all specified pools. The value is an edge/pool name or a list of
edge/pool names separated by commas. Names are case-
sensitive.
Appending a name allows you to create multiple versions of a
custom property. For example, the following properties might list
load balancing pools set up for general use and machines with
high, moderate, and low performance requirements:
n
VCNS.LoadBalancerEdgePool.Names
n
VCNS.LoadBalancerEdgePool.Names.moderate
n
VCNS.LoadBalancerEdgePool.Names.high
n
VCNS.LoadBalancerEdgePool.Names.low
Note In a multi-machine service, this custom property is
supported only for VM components with Routed Virtual Wire. It is
also not supported for pre-defined static IP addresses for VM
components in the context of a multi-machine blueprint.
VCNS.SecurityGroup.Names.name Specifies the vCloud Networking and Security security group or
groups to which the virtual machine is assigned during
provisioning. The value is a security group name or a list of
names separated by commas. Names are case-sensitive.
Appending a name allows you to create multiple versions of the
property, which can be used separately or in combination. For
example, the following properties can list security groups
intended for general use, for the sales force, and for support:
n
VCNS.SecurityGroup.Names
n
VCNS.SecurityGroup.Names.sales
n
VCNS.SecurityGroup.Names.support
VCNS.SecurityTag.Names.name Specifies the vCloud Networking and Security security tag or
tags to which the virtual machine is associated during
provisioning. The value is a security tag name or a list of names
separated by commas. Names are case-sensitive.
Appending a name allows you to create multiple versions of the
property, which can be used separately or in combination. For
example, the following properties can list security tags intended
for general use, for the sales force, and for support:
n
VCNS.SecurityTag.Names
n
VCNS.SecurityTag.Names.sales
n
VCNS.SecurityTag.Names.support
Enable Users to Select Datacenter Locations
Tenant administrators and business group managers can create blueprints that prompt users to select
datacenter locations, for example, London or Boston, when they request a machine.
