Optionally, information about the custom properties and values to be applied to all machines
provisioned from the blueprint. See Chapter 8 Custom Properties for HP Server Automation
Integration.
Note A fabric administrator can create a build profile by using the property set
HPSABuildMachineProperties, which allows HP Server Automation integration in provisioning
by using a boot image, or HPSASoftwareProperties, which allows HP Server Automation
integration in software deployment. These build profiles makes it easier for tenant administrators
and business group managers to include this information in their blueprints.
