5 Select a virtual machine image from the list.
Important Ensure that you select an image that is appropriate for the workflow that you selected.
For example, only select kickstart images when you use the CloudLinuxKickstartWorkflow, and only
select WIM images when you use the CloudWIMImageWorkflow. Using an image with the wrong
workflow can result in a machine that appears to be successfully provisioned and ready to use when
it is actually waiting for input in the Red Hat OpenStack provider.
6 Click OK.
7 Select a key pair generation method from the Key pair drop-down menu.
Option Description
Not Specified Select to control key pair behavior at the reservation level rather than the
blueprint level.
Auto Generated per Business Group Each machine provisioned in the same business group has the same key pair. If
you delete the business group, its key pair is also deleted.
Auto Generated per Machine Each machine has a unique key pair.
If you select Not Specified in both the reservation and the blueprint, machines provisioned from this
blueprint have no key pair.
8 Select one or more Flavors check boxes to select one or more flavors that users can select from
when they submit a machine request.
Selecting one or more flavors updates values in the # CPUs, Memory, and Storage (GB) text boxes.
Review the minimum and maximum machine resource values and adjust your instance type
selections as desired.
9 (Optional) Specify the lease settings for provisioned machines, or leave blank for no expiration date.
a Enter the minimum number of lease days in the Minimum text box.
If you only provide a minimum, this number becomes the value for all machines provisioned from
this blueprint.
b (Optional) Enter the maximum number of lease days in the Maximum text box to allow users to
select their own settings within the range that you provide.
Your blueprint is not finished. Do not navigate away from this page.
Add Required Properties to a WIM Blueprint
There are a number of custom properties that are required for WIM provisioning.
Note If your fabric administrator creates a build profile that contains the required custom properties and
you include it in your blueprint, you do not need to individually add the required custom properties to the
blueprint.
For a list of custom properties commonly used with WIM provisioning, see Custom Properties for WIM
Blueprints.
