Property Description
VirtualMachine.Reconfigure.DisableHotCpu
Set to true to specify that the reconfigure
machine action restarts the specified machine.
By default, the reconfigure machine action does
not restart the machine.
Performing a hot add of CPU, memory, or
storage causes the reconfigure machine action to
fail and to not restart the machine unless the Hot
Add setting is enabled in vSphere for the machine
or template. You can add
VirtualMachine.Reconfigure.DisableHotCp
u=true to a machine component in a
vRealize Automation blueprint to disable the Hot
Add setting and force the machine to restart
regardless of the vSphere Hot Add setting. The
custom property is only available for machine
types that support hardware reconfiguration,
which are vSphere, vCloud Air, and
vCloud Director.
VirtualMachine.Request.Layout
Specifies the property layout to be used in the
virtual machine request page. The value must
match the name of the layout to be used.
VirtualMachine.SoftwareN.Name
Specifies the descriptive name of a software
application N 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.
Insert {Owner} to pass the machine owner name
to the script.
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.
