Table 1‑17. Custom Properties for vCloud Air and vCloud Director Machine Components in
the Design Canvas (Continued)
Custom Property Description
VirtualMachine.Reconfigure.DisableHotCpu
Set to true to specify that the reconfigure machine action
restarts the specified machine. By default, the reconfigure
machine action does not restart the machine.
Performing a hot add of CPU, memory, or storage causes the
reconfigure machine action to fail and not to restart the machine
unless the Hot Add setting is enabled in vSphere for the
machine or template. You can add
VirtualMachine.Reconfigure.DisableHotCpu=true to a
machine component in a vRealize Automation blueprint to
disable the Hot Add setting and force the machine to restart
regardless of the vSphere Hot Add setting. The custom property
is only available for machine types that support hardware
reconfiguration, which are vSphere, vCloud Air, and
vCloud Director.
VCloud.Lease.Sync.TimeBufferMins
Specifies a threshold integer value for a compute resource such
that lease synchronization between vCloud Director and
vRealize Automation only occur for vCloud Director or
vCloud Air-provisioned machines that are set to expire in
vCloud Director or vCloud Air in that time period. If a conflict is
found, the lease value is synchronized to match the lease length
defined in vRealize Automation. The default
VCloud.Lease.Sync.TimeBufferMins value is 720 minutes,
which is 12 hours. If VCloud.Lease.Sync.TimeBufferMins is
not present, the default value is used. For example, if the default
values are used, vRealize Automation runs the lease
synchronization check workflow every 45 minutes, which is the
workflow default, and only the leases of machines that are set to
expire within 12 hours are changed to match the lease length
defined in vRealize Automation.
VCloud.Owner.UseEndpointAccount
Set to true to assign the endpoint account as the vCloud Air or
vCloud Director machine owner for provisioning and import
operations. For change ownership operations, the owner is not
changed on the endpoint. If not specified or set to false, the
vRealize Automation owner is the machine owner.
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. Settings
specified in the template, including storage path, supersede
settings specified in the blueprint. The only changes from the
template are the names of the cloned machines, which are
generated from the machine prefix specified in the blueprint.
vCloud Air or vCloud Director machines that are provisioned as
identical copies can use networks and storage profiles that are
not available in the vRealize Automation reservation. To avoid
having unaccounted reservation allocations, verify that the
storage profile or network specified in the template is available
in the reservation.
