Table 2‑5. Custom Properties for Customizing Cloned Machines with a Guest Agent (Continued)
Custom Property Description
VirtualMachine.DiskN.Size
Denes the size in GB of disk N. For example, to give a size
of 150 GB to a disk G, dene 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 specied 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
Species the label for a machine’s disk N. The disk label
maximum is 32 characters. Disk numbering must be
sequential. When used with a guest agent, species the
label of a machine's disk N inside the guest operating
system.
VirtualMachine.DiskN.Letter
Species the drive leer or mount point of a machine’s disk
N. The default is C. For example, to specify the leer D for
Disk 1, dene 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 species the
drive leer or mount point under which an additional disk
N is mounted by the guest agent in the guest operating
system.
VirtualMachine.Admin.CustomizeGuestOSDelay
Species the time to wait after customization is complete
and before starting the guest operating system
customization. The value must be in HH:MM:SS format. If
the value is not set, the default value is one minute
(00:01:00). If you choose not to include this custom
property, provisioning can fail if the virtual machine
reboots before guest agent work items are completed,
causing provisioning to fail.
VirtualMachine.Customize.WaitComplete
Set to True to prevent the provisioning workow from
sending work items to the guest agent until all
customizations are complete.
VirtualMachine.SoftwareN.Name
Species 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 workow or the guest
agent but it is useful for a custom software selection in a
user interface or for software use reporting.
