Table 2‑6. Custom Properties for Linked Clone Blueprints (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.
MaximumProvisionedMachines
Species the maximum number of linked clones for one
machine snapshot. The default is unlimited.
Linux.ExternalScript.Name
Species 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 dene its
location by using the
Linux.ExternalScript.LocationType and
Linux.ExternalScript.Path properties.
Linux.ExternalScript.LocationType
Species the location type of the customization script
named in the Linux.ExternalScript.Name property.
This can be either local or nfs.
You must also specify the script location using the
Linux.ExternalScript.Path property. If the location
type is nfs, also use the Linux.ExternalScript.Server
property.
