Custom Property Description
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.ProfileName
Specifies the name of a network profile from which to assign a
static IP address to network device N or 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.
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.
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.
