Table 4‑3. Optional Custom Properties for Linux Kickstart Blueprints
Custom Property Description
VirtualMachine.Admin.ThinProvision
Determines whether thin provisioning is used on ESX compute
resources using local or iSCSI storage. Set to True to use thin
provisioning. Set to False to use standard provisioning. This
property is for virtual provisioning.
Machine.SSH
Set to True to enable the Connect Using SSH option, on the
vRealize Automation Items page, for Linux machines
provisioned from this blueprint. If set to True and the Connect
using RDP or SSH machine operation is enabled in the
blueprint, all Linux machines that are provisioned from the
blueprint display the Connect Using SSH option to entitled
users.
Configure Blueprint Actions
Use blueprint actions and entitlements together to maintain detailed control over provisioned machines.
Entitlements control which machine operations specific users can access. Blueprint actions control which
machine operations can be performed on machines provisioned from a blueprint. For example, if you
disable the option to reprovision machines created from a blueprint, then the option to reprovision a
machine created from the blueprint does not appear for any users. If you enable the reprovision machine
operation, then users who are entitled to reprovision machines can reprovision machines created from
this blueprint.
Note The options that appear on the Actions tab depend on your platform and any customizations
made to your vRealize Automation instance.
