Property Description
VCloud.Template.MakeIdenticalCopy
Set to true to clone an identical copy of the
vCloud Air or vCloud Director template for machine
provisioning. The machine is provisioned as an
identical copy of the template. Seings specied in
the template, including storage path, supersede
seings specied in the blueprint. The only changes
from the template are the names of the cloned
machines, which are generated from the machine
prex specied in the blueprint.
vCloud Air or vCloud Director machines that are
provisioned as identical copies can use networks and
storage proles that are not available in the
vRealize Automation reservation. To avoid having
unaccounted reservation allocations, verify that the
storage prole or network specied in the template is
available in the reservation.
VCNS.LoadBalancerEdgePool.Names.name
Species the NSX load balancing pools to which the
virtual machine is assigned during provisioning. The
virtual machine is assigned to all service ports of all
specied pools. The value is an edge/pool name or a
list of edge/pool names separated by commas. Names
are case-sensitive.
N You can add a machine IP address to an
existing load balancer by using the
VCNS.LoadBalancerEdgePool.Names custom
property. vRealize Automation and NSX use the rst
member of the specied edge load balancer pool to
determine the new member port and monitor port
seings. However, NSX 6.2 does not require that the
member port seing be specied. To avoid
provisioning failure when using
VCNS.LoadBalancerEdgePool.Names with NSX 6.2
to add a machine to an existing pool, you must
specify a port value for the rst member of the load
balancer pool in NSX.
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.moderat
e
n
VCNS.LoadBalancerEdgePool.Names.high
n
VCNS.LoadBalancerEdgePool.Names.low
VCNS.SecurityGroup.Names
.name
Species the NSX 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
