This section lists vRealize Automation custom properties that
begin with the letter V.
Property Description
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.ProfileName Specifies the name of a network profile from which to assign a
static IP address to network device Nor from which to obtain
the range of static IP addresses that can be assigned to
network device N of a cloned machine, where N=0 for the first
device, 1 for the second, and so on.
If a network profile is specified in the network path in the
reservation on which the machine is provisioned, a static IP
address is assigned from that network profile. You can ensure
that a static IP address is assigned from a specific profile by
setting the value of this property to the name of a network
profile.
Note that changing this property value after the network is
assigned has no effect on the expected IP address values for
the designated machines.
With WIM-based provisioning for virtual machines, you can
use this property to specify a network profile and network
interface or you can use the Network section of the Virtual
Reservation page. You can also assign the network interface
to a virtual network using the
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.Name custom property.
With WIM-based provisioning for physical machines, you must
specify the network profile with the
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.ProfileName custom property.
You must also specify a value with the
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.Name custom property, although
vRealize Automation does not use the value.
The following attributes of the network profile are available to
enable static IP assignment in a cloning blueprint:
n
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.SubnetMask
n
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.Gateway
n
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.PrimaryDns
n
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.SecondaryDns
n
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.PrimaryWins
n
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.SecondaryWins
n
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.DnsSuffix
n
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.DnsSearchSuffixes
VirtualMachine.NetworkN custom properties are designed
to be specific to individual blueprints and machines. When a
machine is requested, network and IP address allocation is
performed before the machine is assigned to a reservation.
Because blueprints are not guaranteed to be allocated to a
specific reservation, do not use this property on a reservation.
