Add a Network Proļ¬le for Static IP Assignment to a Blueprint
Tenant administrators and business group managers can configure static IP assignment at the blueprint
level.
Note This information does not apply to Amazon Web Services.
For a list of custom properties related to networking, see Custom Properties for Networking.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a tenant administrator or business group manager.
n
A fabric administrator must Create a Network Profile for Static IP Address Assignment.
n
Create at least one blueprint that is eligible for static IP assignment. Static IP is supported with cloud
and virtual machines provisioned by cloning or Linux kickstart/autoYaST. For SCVMM, you can only
use static IP addresses if you are cloning Linux machines and you installed the guest agent on your
template.
n
For vSphere clone blueprints, you must specify a valid customization specification on the Build
Information tab of the blueprint.
Procedure
1 Select Infrastructure > Blueprints > Blueprints.
2 Point to the blueprint for which you want to enable static IP assignment and click Edit.
3 Click the Properties tab.
4 Specify a network profile to use for assigning static IP addresses to a network device on machines
provisioned from this blueprint.
a Click New Property.
b Type VirtualMachine.NetworkN.ProfileName in the Name text box, where N is the number of
the network device for which to enable static IP assignment.
For example: VirtualMachine.Network0.ProfileName.
c Type the name of the network profile that defines the static IP addresses that can be assigned to
the network device.
d (Optional) Select the Prompt user check box to require the user to provide a value when they
request a machine.
If you choose to prompt users for a value, any value you provide for the custom property is
presented to them as the default. If you do not provide a default, users cannot continue with the
machine request until they provide a value for the custom property.
e
Click the Save icon (
).
Repeat this step to configure static IP assignment for additional network devices in this blueprint.
