Table 212. Optional Custom Properties for Linux Kickstart Blueprints
Custom Property Description
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.
Machine.SSH
Set to True to enable the Connect Using SSH option on the
vRealize Automation Items page for Linux machines
provisioned from this blueprint. If set to True and the
Connect using RDP or SSH machine operation is enabled
in the blueprint, all Linux machines that are provisioned
from the blueprint display the Connect Using SSH option
to entitled users.
The Connect Using SSH option requires that your browser
has a plug-in that supports SSH, for example the FireSSH
SSH terminal client for Mozilla Firefox and Google
Chrome. When the plug-in is present, selecting Connect
Using SSH displays an SSH console and prompts for your
administrator credentials.
Custom Properties for SCCM Blueprints
vRealize Automation includes custom properties that you can use to provide additional controls for SCCM
blueprints.
Certain custom properties are required to use with SCCM blueprints.
