Custom Properties for Openstack Endpoints
vRealize Automation includes custom properties you might want to use when you configure your
Openstack endpoints in vRealize Automation.
Table 1‑3. Custom Properties for Openstack Endpoints
Custom Property Description
VirtualMachine.Admin.ConnectAddress.Regex
Used by a vRealize Automation administrator to define 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 first available IP address is designated.
For example, setting 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.NetworkN.AddressM Defines additional M IP address allocated for an Openstack
instance for network N, excluding the IP address set specified
by the VirtualMachine.NetworkN.Address. property.
Additional addresses are displayed on the Network tab in the
Additional Addresses column.
This property is used by Openstack machine state data
collection.
While this property is only data-collected by the OpenStack
endpoint, it is not specific to OpenStack and can be used for
lifecycle extensibility by other endpoint types.
VMware.Endpoint.Openstack.IdentityProvider.Version
For 6.2.4 and 6.2.5, specifies the version of Openstack Identity
provider (Keystone) to use when authenticating an Openstack
endpoint. Configure a value of 3 to authenticate with Keystone
version 3 OpenStack Identity Provider. If you use any other
value, or do not use this custom property, authentication defaults
to Keystone version 2.
VMware.Endpoint.Openstack.Release
Specifies the OpenStack release, for example Havana or
Icehouse, when creating an OpenStack endpoint. Required for
6.2.1, 6.2.2, and 6.2.3 OpenStack provisioning. Deprecated as
of 6.2.4.
Preparing an Endpoint CSV File for Import
Instead of adding endpoints one at a time by using the vRealize Automation console, you can import a list
of endpoints of various types by uploading a CSV file.
The CSV file must contain a header row with the expected fields. Fields are case sensitive and must be in
a specific order. You can upload multiple endpoints of varying types with the same CSV file. For
vCloud Director, system administrator accounts are imported, rather than organization administrator
endpoints.
