Table 1‑5. Custom Properties for Customizing Cloned Machines with a Guest Agent
(Continued)
Custom Property Description
VirtualMachine.SoftwareN.ScriptPath
Specifies the full path to an application's install script. The path
must be a valid absolute path as seen by the guest operating
system and must include the name of the script filename.
You can pass custom property values as parameters to the
script by inserting {CustomPropertyName} in the path string. For
example, if you have a custom property named ActivationKey
whose value is 1234, the script path is D:\InstallApp.bat –
key {ActivationKey}. The guest agent runs the command
D:\InstallApp.bat –key 1234. Your script file can then be
programmed to accept and use this value.
VirtualMachine.SoftwareN.ISOName
Specifies the path and filename of the ISO file relative to the
datastore root. The format
is /folder_name/subfolder_name/file_name.iso. If a value
is not specified, the ISO is not mounted.
VirtualMachine.SoftwareN.ISOLocation
Specifies the storage path that contains the ISO image file to be
used by the application or script. Format the path as it appears
on the host reservation, for example netapp-1:it_nfs_1. If a
value is not specified, the ISO is not mounted.
Custom Properties for Linked Clone Blueprints
vRealize Automation includes custom properties that you can use to provide additional controls for linked
clone blueprints.
Certain vRealize Automation custom properties are required to use with linked clone blueprints.
Table 1‑6. Custom Properties for Linked Clone Blueprints
Custom Property Description
VirtualMachine.DiskN.Storage
Specifies the datastore on which to place the machine disk N,
for example DATASTORE01. This property is also used to add a
single datastore to a linked clone blueprint. N is the index
(starting at 0) of the volume to assign. Enter the name of the
datastore to assign to the volume. This is the datastore name as
it appears in the Storage Path on the Edit Compute Resource
page. Disk numbering must be sequential.
VirtualMachine.DiskN.StorageReservationPolicy
Specifies the storage reservation policy to use to find storage for
disk N. Also assigns the named storage reservation policy to a
volume. To use this property, substitute the volume number for N
in the property name and specify a storage reservation policy
name as the value. This property is equivalent to the storage
reservation policy name specified on the blueprint. Disk
numbering must be sequential. This property is valid for all
Virtual and vCloud reservations. This property is not valid for
Physical, Amazon, or OpenStack reservations.
