This section lists vRealize Automation custom properties that
begin with the letter V.
Property Description
VirtualMachine.Admin.DiskInterfaceType
Indicates the type of disk drivers. The following disk drivers
are supported:
n
IDE (default)
n
VirtIO
This property is for virtual provisioning.
VirtualMachine.Admin.ForceHost
Specifies the name of the ESX host. The property is only
honored if VirtualMachine.Admin.HostSelectionPolicy
is set to EXACT_MATCH.
Note This property is for vSphere only.
When provisioning against a vSphere cluster, you can use the
VirtualMachine.Admin.ForceHost property to specify the
host on which a machine is to be provisioned. This property is
used only if DRS is not set to automatic for the cluster. If the
cluster has DRS enabled and is set to Automatic, vSphere
relocates the provisioned machine when the machine is
restarted.
VirtualMachine.Admin.HostSelectionPolicy
Optionally set to EXACT_MATCH to require the machine to be
placed on the host specified by the
VirtualMachine.Admin.ForceHost property. If the host is
unavailable, the request results in a failure. If a host is not
specified, the next best available host is selected. If set to
EXACT_MATCH, an error occurs if the specified host does not
have enough memory or is in maintenance mode.
Note This property applies to vSphere only.
VirtualMachine.Admin.ExportProperties
Optionally set to True when using an enhanced clone workflow
to specify that the guest agent export the virtual machine's
custom properties to the following files in the guest OS:
n
C:\VRMGuestAgent\site\workitem.xml
n
C:\VRMGuestAgent\site\workitem.ini
Guest scripts and utilities can then consume these files.
VirtualMachine.Agent.CopyToDisk
Set to True (default) to copy the guest agent executable file to
%System-Drive%\VRM\Build\Bin on the machine’s disk.
VirtualMachine.Agent.GuiRunOnce
Set to True to include guest agent execution in the
SysPrep.inf runonce section. Set to False for the Linux
agent to stop the provisioning workflow.
VirtualMachine.Agent.Reboot
Set to True (default) to specify that the guest agent restarts the
machine following installation of the guest operating system.
VirtualMachine.CDROM.Attach
Set to False to provision the machine without a CD-ROM
device. The default is True.
