Build Profiles and Property Sets
vRealize Automation contains property sets that fabric administrators can use when they create build
profiles.
Property sets are groups of related properties that are commonly used together in build profiles and
machine blueprints. Instead of adding custom properties to a build profile or a machine blueprint
individually, you can add an entire set to a build profile and provide the values.
Many commonly used property sets are included in vRealize Automation.
For example, the WimImagingProperties property set contains custom properties commonly used for
WIM-based provisioning:
n
Image.ISO.Location
n
Image.ISO.Name
n
Image.Network.Password
n
Image.Network.User
n
Image.WIM.Index
n
Image.WIM.Name
n
Image.WIM.Path
