For information about upgrading a multi-machine blueprint that contains network seings, see
“Understanding How Multi-Machine Blueprints Are Upgraded,” on page 11.
Upgrade and Entitled Actions
You cannot upgrade machine actions.
The actions that you are entitled to perform on provisioned machines, based on blueprint specications, are
not upgraded. To recreate allowed machine actions, customize the entitlements for blueprints to enable only
certain actions.
For related information, see Conguring vRealize Automation.
Upgrade and Custom Properties
All the custom properties that vRealize Automation supplies are available in the upgraded deployment.
Custom properties and property groups are upgraded.
Terminology and Related Changes
All the build proles that you created in the source deployment are upgraded as property groups. The term
build prole has been retired.
The term property set has been retired and CSV property set les are no longer available.
Case-sensitivity in Custom Property Names
Prior to vRealize Automation 7.0, custom property names were case-insensitive. In vRealize Automation 7.0
and later, custom property names are case-sensitive. During upgrade, custom property names must be an
exact match, including their case, to ensure that property values do not override one another and that they
correctly match property dictionary denitions. For example, a custom property expressed as hostname and
another custom property expressed as HOSTNAME are considered dierent custom properties by
vRealize Automation 7.0 and later and do not override one another during upgrade.
Reserved Property Names
Several keywords are now reserved and some upgraded properties might be impacted. Some keywords are
used by the blueprint code that can be imported, for example by using vRealize CloudClient blueprint
import functions. These keywords are considered reserved and are not available for properties that are
being upgraded. The keywords include but are not limited to cpu, storage, and memory.
Upgrade and Application Services
Application Services upgrade is not currently supported in the target vRealize Automation deployment.
Upgrade and Advanced Service Design
When you upgrade to the target vRealize Automation deployment, your Advanced Service Design items are
upgraded to XaaS elements.
XaaS components are available for use in the blueprint design canvas.
