The new profile appears as a network profile choice when you create a network adapter. See Configure
Network Adapters for Component Machines.
Configure Network Adapters for Component Machines
A network adapter defines a network connection for a component machine. A tenant administrator or
business group manager can configure a network adapter for a multi-machine blueprint, and apply the
network adapter to one or more component blueprints in that multi-machine blueprint.
When you request the multi-machine service, vRealize Automation provisions the component machines
with the network connection that the network adapter defines. During configuration, when you select an
external network profile for the network adapter, you specify an existing external network.
