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. 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.
VCNS.LoadBalancerEdgePool.Names.name Specifies 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 specified pools. The value is an
edge/pool name or a list of edge/pool names separated by
commas. Names are case-sensitive.
Note 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 first
member of the specified edge load balancer pool to determine
the new member port and monitor port settings. However, NSX
6.2 does not require that the member port setting be specified. 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
first 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.moderate
n
VCNS.LoadBalancerEdgePool.Names.high
n
VCNS.LoadBalancerEdgePool.Names.low
VCNS.SecurityGroup.Names.name Specifies 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
