Configures attributes of the network profile specified in
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.ProfileName.
VirtualMachine.NetworkN custom properties are specific to
individual blueprints and machines. When a machine is
requested, network and IP address allocation is performed
before the machine is assigned to a reservation. Because
blueprints are not guaranteed to be allocated to a specific
reservation, do not use this property on a 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
