Custom Property Description
VirtualMachine.Storage.AllocationType
Stores collected groups to a single datastore. A distributed
environment stores disks round-robin style.
VirtualMachine.Storage.Name
Identies the storage path on which the machine resides.
The default is the value specied in the reservation that
was used to provision the machine.
VirtualMachine.Storage.ReserveMemory
Set to True to manage vSwap storage allocation to ensure
availability and set allocation in the reservation. vSwap
allocation is considered when you create or recongure a
virtual machine. vSwap allocation checking is only
available for vSphere endpoints.
N If you do not specify the
VirtualMachine.Storage.ReserveMemory custom
property when you create or provision the machine from
vRealize Automation, swap space availability is not
ensured. If you add the property for an already
provisioned machine, and the allocated reservation is full,
the storage allocated in the reservation might exceed the
actual allocated storage.
VMware.Hardware.Version
Species the VM hardware version to be used for vSphere
seings. Supported values are currently vmx-04, vmx-07,
vmx-08, vmx-09 and vmx-10. This property is applicable
for VM Create and VM Update workows and is available
only for basic workow blueprints.
Custom Properties for Linux Kickstart Blueprints
vRealize Automation includes custom properties that you can use to provide additional controls for Linux
Kickstart blueprints.
Certain vRealize Automation custom properties are required to use with Linux Kickstart blueprints.
Table 2‑11. Required Custom Properties for Linux Kickstart Blueprints
Custom Property Description
VMware.VirtualCenter.OperatingSystem
Species the vCenter Server guest operating system version
(VirtualMachineGuestOsIdentifier) with which
vCenter Server creates the machine. This operating system
version must match the operating system version to be
installed on the provisioned machine. Administrators can
create property groups using one of several property sets,
for example, VMware[OS_Version]Properties, that are
predened to include the correct
VMware.VirtualCenter.OperatingSystem values. This
property is for virtual provisioning.
For related information, see the enumeration type
VirtualMachineGuestOsIdentifier in vSphere
API/SDK Documentation. For a list of currently accepted
values, see the vCenter Server documentation.
Image.ISO.Location
Values for this property are case sensitive. Species the
location of the ISO image from which to boot, for example
hp://192.168.2.100/site2/winpe.iso. The format of this value
depends on your platform. For details, see documentation
provided for your platform. This property is required for
WIM-based provisioning, Linux Kickstart and autoYaST
provisioning, and SCCM-based provisioning.
