Property Description
VirtualMachine.Admin.ConnectAddress.Regex
Used by a vRealize Automation administrator to
dene a regular expression to match an IP address
for terminal connections, such as an RDP connection.
If matched, the IP address is saved under the
VirtualMachine.Admin.ConnectAddress custom
property. Otherwise, the rst available IP address is
designated.
For example, seing the property value to 10.10.0.
allows selection of an IP address from a 10.10.0.*
subnet that is assigned to the virtual machine. If the
subnet has not been assigned, the property is
ignored.
This property is available for use with Openstack.
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.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.Admin.NetworkInterfaceType
Indicates the network adapter type that is supported
and emulated by the guest operating system. Use to
create a new virtual machine and assign a specic
adapter type for a template cloning operation. Use to
modify the network seings of a newly provisioned
virtual machine. The following options are available:
n
E1000 (default)

VirtualMachine.Admin.Name
Species the generated machine name for vSphere,
for example CodyVM01. When creating custom
workows or plug-ins for customizing a virtual
machine name, set this property to match the name
of the virtual machine. This is an internal input
property for the agent to name the virtual machine.
N This property is for vSphere only.
The value specied in the blueprint has no eect on
this property. This property is not intended to be
used to prompt the user. Use the HostName property
to prompt the user. If the property is set at runtime,
the container name that is created in the hypervisor
might not match the item record name.
VirtualMachine.Admin.UUID
Species the UUID of the machine. The guest agent
records the value when the machine is created. The
value becomes read-only. The value in the blueprint
or property group has no eect on this property.
