Property Description
Vrm.DataCenter.Location
Allows you to use a blueprint to provision machines on more than one
compute resource. You can add the Vrm.DataCenter.Location
property to a blueprint, or enable the Display Location on Request
option in the blueprint, to require that the user supply a datacenter
location when they request machine provisioning.
Note If you enable the Display Location on Request option on the
blueprint, you do not need to also add the custom property.
Datacenter locations are configured in a DataCenterLocations.xml
file, which provides the location values that are applied to compute
resources.
For related information about adding datacenter locations, see
Configuring vRealize Automation.
Because the Vrm.DataCenter.Location property cannot access the
contents of the DatacenterLocations.xml file, you must rely on
users to provide property values that match the locations provided in
the DataCenterLocations.xml file.
Use this property if you want to use the datacenter location value as
input to an external action for another custom property.
Vrm.DataCenter.Policy
Specifies whether provisioning must use a compute resource
associated with a particular location, or if any location is suitable. To
enable this feature, you must add data center to a location file.
Associate each compute resource with a location.
Set to Exact (default) to provision a requested machine on a compute
resource associated with the location specified on the blueprint. The
request fails if no reservations match the requested location. If the
property is not present, the Exact default is used.
Set to NonExact to provision a requested machine on a compute
resource with sufficient capacity and associated with the location
specified on the blueprint. If that compute resource is not available,
then use the next available compute resource with sufficient capacity
without regard to location.
Vrm.ProxyAgent.Uri
Allows you to override the default Vrm.ProxyAgent.Uri value that is
derived from the VMPS endpoint address in the vRealize Automation
Manager Service configuration file. The configuration setting is often
set to the local machine but you might want to set it to the virtual IP
(VIP) address.
You can specify the Vrm.ProxyAgent.Uri custom property on a
blueprint. Sample syntax is as follows:
Vrm.ProxyAgent.Uri=https://loadbalancer-vip/VMPS2Proxy
