Property Description
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
VCNS.SecurityGroup.Names.blueprint_name When using NSX, specifies the Edge Pool with which to associate the
blueprint.
VCNS.SecurityTag.Names.name Specifies the NSX security tag or tags to which the virtual machine is
associated during provisioning. The value is a security tag 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 tags intended for
general use, for the sales force, and for support:
n
VCNS.SecurityTag.Names
n
VCNS.SecurityTag.Names.sales
n
VCNS.SecurityTag.Names.support
