Create a multi-machine blueprint that contains at least one virtual component blueprint. See Create a
Multi-Machine Blueprint.
Procedure
1 Select Infrastructure > Blueprints > Blueprints.
2 Locate a multi-machine blueprint with at least one virtual component blueprint.
3 Click Edit in the drop-down menu.
4 Click the Network tab.
5 Select a transport zone from the Transport zone drop-down menu.
6 Select New Network Profile > Private.
7 (Optional) Select a private network profile template from the Copy from existing network profile
drop-down menu.
vRealize Automation inserts values from the template.
8 Click the Network Profile Information tab and type values as required in the text boxes.
9 Click the IP Ranges tab and add, delete, or edit the defined ranges as required.
10 Click OK.
The new network profile appears in the Network Profiles table on the Network tab.
What to do next
Select the new profile when you create a network adapter. See Configure Network Adapters for
Component Machines.
Add a Routed Network Profile to a Multi-Machine Blueprint
A tenant administrator or business group manager can add a routed network profile to a multi-machine
blueprint, and assign the network profile to the virtual network adapters in the multi-machine blueprint.
You use a routed network profile when the application or network must be provisioned with full
connectivity to applications and networks, using routable IP addresses.
In this case, all routed networks within the application can communicate with other routed networks with
the same network profile and these networks also are connected to external networks. Users can connect
to the application through network and console access.
The most common use for a routed network profile is for a multi-tier application that is deployed in
production and requires not only end-user access to the Web tier presentation layer, but also requires
administrators to manage database and application servers through direct network access. More controls
on network access can be enforced with a network firewall specified by a security group.
Because the network profiles you add to the multi-machine blueprint apply only to that blueprint, you can
reuse the template names or change them.
