Table 27. Custom Properties for Linked Clone Blueprints (Continued)
Custom Property Description
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.Label Specifies the label for a machine’s disk. The disk label maximum
is 32 characters. Disk numbering must be sequential. When
used in conjunction with a guest agent, specifies the label of a
machine's disk N inside the guest operating system.
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.
MaximumProvisionedMachines
Specifies the maximum number of linked clones for one machine
snapshot. The default is unlimited.
Linux.ExternalScript.Name
Specifies the name of an optional customization script, for
example config.sh, that the Linux guest agent runs after the
operating system is installed. This property is available for Linux
machines cloned from templates on which the Linux agent is
installed.
If you specify an external script, you must also define its location
by using the Linux.ExternalScript.LocationType and
Linux.ExternalScript.Path properties.
Linux.ExternalScript.LocationType
Specifies the location type of the customization script named in
the Linux.ExternalScript.Name property. This can be either
local or nfs.
You must also specify the script location using the
Linux.ExternalScript.Path property. If the location type is
nfs, also use the Linux.ExternalScript.Server property.
