Add Required Properties to a Linux Kickstart Blueprint
Linux Kickstart provisioning requires custom properties to locate the boot ISO image.
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 commonly used custom properties for Linux Kickstart provisioning, see Custom Properties for
Linux Kickstart Blueprints.
Prerequisites
Configure Linux Kickstart Blueprint Machine Resources.
