Create a Multi-Machine Blueprint
Machine blueprints determine a machine's attributes, the manner in which it is provisioned, and its policy
and management settings. A tenant administrator or business group manager creates a multi-machine
blueprint for provisioning the multi-machine service and its component machines.
Prerequisites
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a tenant administrator or business group manager.
Procedure
1 Specify Blueprint Information for a Multi-Machine Blueprint
You can configure who can provision machines, how many machines they can provision, and the
daily cost of machines.
2 Specify Build Information for a Multi-Machine Blueprint
The build information settings determine the type and number of component machines that are
provisioned.
3 Specify Network Information for a Multi-Machine Blueprint
Network information settings determine the transport zone, network profile to use when provisioning,
and reservation policy.
4 Specify Scripting Information for a Multi-Machine Blueprint
Scripting information settings specify optional provisioning, startup, and shutdown processing
scripts.
5 Add Multi-Machine Blueprint Custom Properties
Adding custom properties to a blueprint gives you detailed control over the configuration of
provisioned machines. Custom properties apply to all component machines in a multi-machine
service.
6 Specify Actions for Multi-Machine Blueprints
Use blueprint actions and entitlements together to maintain detailed control over provisioned
machines.
What to do next
Publish your blueprint to make it available as a catalog item. See Publish a Blueprint.
