Table 2‑9. Custom Properties for Customizing FlexClone Machines with a Guest Agent (Continued)
Custom Property Description
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.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.
Custom Properties for Basic Workflow Blueprints
vRealize Automation includes custom properties that you can use to provide additional controls for basic
workow blueprints.
Table 2‑10. Custom Properties for Basic Workflow Blueprints
Custom Property Description
VirtualMachine.CDROM.Attach
Set to False to provision the machine without a CD-ROM
device. The default is True.
VirtualMachine.Admin.ThinProvision
Determines whether thin provisioning is used on ESX
compute resources using local or iSCSI storage. Set to True
to use thin provisioning. Set to False to use standard
provisioning. This property is for virtual provisioning.
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.
