Table 2‑5. Custom Properties for Customizing Cloned Machines with a Guest Agent (Continued)
Custom Property Description
VirtualMachine.SoftwareN.ScriptPath
Species 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
lename.
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 le can then be programmed to accept
and use this value.
VirtualMachine.SoftwareN.ISOName
Species the path and lename of the ISO le relative to the
datastore root. The format
is /folder_name/subfolder_name/file_name.iso. If a
value is not specied, the ISO is not mounted.
VirtualMachine.SoftwareN.ISOLocation
Species the storage path that contains the ISO image le
to be used by the application or script. Format the path as it
appears on the host reservation, for example
netapp-1:it_nfs_1. If a value is not specied, the ISO is
not mounted.
Custom Properties for Linked Clone Blueprints
vRealize Automation includes custom properties that you can use to provide additional controls for linked
clone blueprints.
Certain vRealize Automation custom properties are required to use with linked clone blueprints.
Table 2‑6. Custom Properties for Linked Clone Blueprints
Custom Property Description
VirtualMachine.DiskN.Storage
Species the datastore on which to place the machine disk
N, for example DATASTORE01. This property is also used
to add a single datastore to a linked clone blueprint. N is
the index (starting at 0) of the volume to assign. Enter the
name of the datastore to assign to the volume. This is the
datastore name as it appears in the Storage Path on the Edit
Compute Resource page. Disk numbering must be
sequential.
VirtualMachine.DiskN.StorageReservationPolicy
Species the storage reservation policy to use to nd
storage for disk N. Also assigns the named storage
reservation policy to a volume. To use this property,
substitute the volume number for N in the property name
and specify a storage reservation policy name as the value.
This property is equivalent to the storage reservation policy
name specied on the blueprint. Disk numbering must be
sequential. This property is valid for all Virtual and vCloud
reservations. This property is not valid for Physical,
Amazon, or OpenStack reservations.
