Optionally, information about the custom properties and values to be applied to all machines
provisioned from the blueprint. See Chapter 8 Custom Properties for HP Server Automation
Integration.
Note A fabric administrator can create a property group by using the property set
HPSABuildMachineProperties, which allows HP Server Automation integration in provisioning
by using a boot image, or HPSASoftwareProperties, which allows HP Server Automation
integration in software deployment. These property groups makes it easier for tenant
administrators and business group managers to include this information in their blueprints.
