Property Description
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.ProfileName
Species the name of a network prole from which
to assign a static IP address to network device N or
from which to obtain the range of static IP addresses
that can be assigned to network device N of a cloned
machine, where N=0 for the rst device, 1 for the
second, and so on.
When you use the
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.ProfileName
property, the network prole it points to is used to
allocate an IP address. However, the provisioned
machine is aached to any network that is selected in
the reservation using a round-robin fashion model.
Changing this property value after the network is
assigned has no eect on the expected IP address
values for the designated machines.
With WIM-based provisioning for virtual machines,
you can use this property to specify a network
prole and network interface or you can use the
Network section of the Virtual Reservation page. You
can also assign the network interface to a virtual
network using the
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.Name custom property.
The following aributes of the network prole are
available to enable static IP assignment in a cloning
blueprint:
n
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.SubnetMask
n
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.Gateway
n
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.PrimaryDns
n
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.SecondaryDns
n
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.PrimaryWins
n
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.SecondaryWins
n
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.DnsSuffix
n
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.DnsSearchSuffix
es
VirtualMachine.NetworkN custom properties are
specic to individual blueprints and machines.
When a machine is requested, network and IP
address allocation is performed before the machine
is assigned to a reservation. Because blueprints are
not guaranteed to be allocated to a specic
reservation, do not use this property on a
reservation.
You cannot use this custom property to dene an on-
demand NAT or on-demand routed network prole
name. Because on-demand network prole names
are generated at allocation time (during
provisioning), their names are unknown when
creating or editing the blueprint. To specify NSX on-
demand network information, use the applicable
network component in the blueprint design canvas
for your vSphere machine components.
