Property Description
VirtualMachine.Core.Count
If set to a value greater than zero, specifies the number of cores
per socket when provisioning the virtual machine.
You can use this property on a blueprint to specify cores per
virtual socket or total number of sockets. For example, your
licensing terms might restrict software that is licensed per socket
or available operating systems only recognize so many sockets
and additional CPUs must be provisioned as additional cores.
VirtualMachine.DiskN.Letter
Specifies the drive letter or mount point of a machine’s disk N.
The default is C. For example, to specify the letter D for Disk 1,
define the custom property as VirtualMachine.Disk1.Letter
and enter the value D. Disk numbering must be sequential. When
used in conjunction with a guest agent, this value specifies the
drive letter or mount point under which an additional disk N is
mounted by the guest agent in the guest operating system.
VirtualMachine.DiskN.Size
Defines the size in GB of disk N. For example, to give a size of
150 GB to a disk G, define the custom property
VirtualMachine.Disk0.Size and enter a value of 150. Disk
numbering must be sequential. By default a machine has one
disk referred to by VirtualMachine.Disk0.Size, where size is
specified by the storage value on the blueprint from which the
machine is provisioned. The storage value on the blueprint user
interface overwrites the value in the
VirtualMachine.Disk0.Size property. The
VirtualMachine.Disk0.Size property is not available as a
custom property because of its relationship with the storage
option on the blueprint. More disks can be added by specifying
VirtualMachine.Disk1.Size, VirtualMachine.Disk2.Size
and so on. VirtualMachine.Admin.TotalDiskUsage always
represents the total of the .DiskN.Size properties plus the
VMware.Memory.Reservation size allocation.
VirtualMachine.DiskN.IsFixed
Disables the editing of a specific disk when reconfiguring a
machine. Set to True to disable display of the edit capacity option
for a specific volume. The True value is case-sensitive. The N
value is the 0-based index of the disk.
Alternatively, you can set the VirtualMachine.DiskN.IsFixed
custom property to True in the VirtualMachineProperties table in
the database or use the Repository API to specify a URI value
such
as .../Repository/Data/ManagementModelEntities.svc/Vi
rtualMachines(guid'60D93A8A-F541-4CE0-
A6C6-78973AC0F1D2')/VirtualMachineProperties.
VirtualMachine.DiskN.Label
Specifies the label for a machine’s disk N. The disk label
maximum is 32 characters. Disk numbering must be sequential.
When used with a guest agent, specifies the label of a machine's
disk N inside the guest operating system.
VirtualMachine.DiskN.Active
Set to True (default) to specify that the machine's disk N is active.
Set to False to specify that the machine's disk N is not active.
