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.
When this property has a non-Windows value, the
Connect Using RDP user interface option is
disabled. The property can be used in a virtual,
cloud or physical blueprint.
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.

machine components in blueprints, species the SCSI
machine type using one of the following case-
sensitive values:
n
buslogic
Use BusLogic emulation for the virtual disk.
n
lsilogic

Use LSILogic SAS 1068 emulation for the virtual
disk.
n

n
none

use with the CloneWorkow provisioning workow.
If you specify the CloneWorkow provisioning
workow when conguring your machine
component in the blueprint design canvas, you
cannot use the VMware.SCSI.Type property.
