Table 2‑17. Custom Properties for vCloud Air and vCloud Director Machine Components in the Blueprint
Canvas (Continued)
Custom Property Description
VirtualMachine.Reconfigure.DisableHotCpu
Set to true to specify that the recongure machine action
restarts the specied machine. By default, the recongure
machine action does not restart the machine.
Performing a hot add of CPU, memory, or storage causes
the recongure machine action to fail and not to restart the
machine unless the Hot Add seing is enabled in vSphere
for the machine or template. You can add
VirtualMachine.Reconfigure.DisableHotCpu=true to
a machine component in a vRealize Automation blueprint
to disable the Hot Add seing and force the machine to
restart regardless of the vSphere Hot Add seing. The
custom property is only available for machine types that
support hardware reconguration, which are vSphere,
vCloud Air, and vCloud Director.
VCloud.Lease.Sync.TimeBufferMins
Species a threshold integer value for a compute resource
such that lease synchronization between vCloud Director
and vRealize Automation only occur for vCloud Director
or vCloud Air-provisioned machines that are set to expire
in vCloud Director or vCloud Air in that time period. If a
conict is found, the lease value is synchronized to match
the lease length dened in vRealize Automation. The
default VCloud.Lease.Sync.TimeBufferMins value is
720 minutes, which is 12 hours. If
VCloud.Lease.Sync.TimeBufferMins is not present, the
default value is used. For example, if the default values are
used, vRealize Automation runs the lease synchronization
check workow every 45 minutes, which is the workow
default, and only the leases of machines that are set to
expire within 12 hours are changed to match the lease
length dened in vRealize Automation.
VCloud.Owner.UseEndpointAccount
Set to true to assign the endpoint account as the vCloud Air
or vCloud Director machine owner for provisioning and
import operations. For change ownership operations, the
owner is not changed on the endpoint. If not specied or
set to false, the vRealize Automation owner is the machine
owner.
VCloud.Template.MakeIdenticalCopy
Set to true to clone an identical copy of the vCloud Air or
vCloud Director template for machine provisioning. The
machine is provisioned as an identical copy of the
template. Seings specied in the template, including
storage path, supersede seings specied in the blueprint.
The only changes from the template are the names of the
cloned machines, which are generated from the machine
prex specied in the blueprint.
vCloud Air or vCloud Director machines that are
provisioned as identical copies can use networks and
storage proles that are not available in the
vRealize Automation reservation. To avoid having
unaccounted reservation allocations, verify that the storage
prole or network specied in the template is available in
the reservation.
