Table 2‑4. Custom Properties for Customizing Cloned Machines with a Guest Agent
(Continued)
Custom Property Description
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.Admin.CustomizeGuestOSDelay
Specifies the time to wait after customization is complete and
before starting the guest operating system customization. The
value must be in HH:MM:SS format. If the value is not set, the
default value is one minute (00:01:00). If you choose not to
include this custom property, provisioning can fail if the virtual
machine reboots before guest agent work items are completed.
VirtualMachine.Customize.WaitComplete
Set to True to prevent the provisioning workflow from sending
work items to the guest agent until all customizations have been
completed.
VirtualMachine.SoftwareN.Name Specifies the descriptive name of a software application or script
to install or run during provisioning. This is an optional and
information-only property. It serves no real function for the
enhanced clone workflow or the guest agent but it is useful for a
custom software selection in a user interface or for software
usage reporting.
VirtualMachine.SoftwareN.ScriptPath Specifies the full path to an application's install script. The path
must be a valid absolute path as seen by the guest operating
system and must include the name of the script file name.
You can pass custom property values as parameters to the
script by inserting {CustomPropertyName} in the path string. For
example, if you have a custom property named ActivationKey
whose value is 1234, the script path is D:\InstallApp.bat –
key {ActivationKey}. The guest agent runs the command
D:\InstallApp.bat –key 1234. Your script file can then be
programmed to accept and use this value.
VirtualMachine.SoftwareN.ISOName Specifies the path and file name of the ISO file relative to the
data store root. The format
is /folder_name/subfolder_name/file_name.iso. If a value
is not specified, the ISO is not mounted.
VirtualMachine.SoftwareN.ISOLocation Specifies the storage path that contains the ISO image file to be
used by the application or script. Format the path as it appears
on the host reservation, for example netapp-1:it_nfs_1. If a
value is not specified, the ISO is not mounted.

vRealize Automation includes custom properties that you can use to provide additional controls for
FlexClone blueprints.
