Property Definition
VMware.VirtualCenter.OperatingSystem
Specifies the vCenter Server guest operating system version
(VirtualMachineGuestOsIdentifier) with which
vCenter Server creates the machine. This operating system
version must match the operating system version to be installed
on the provisioned machine. Administrators can create property
groups using one of several property sets, for example,
VMware[OS_Version]Properties, that are predefined to
include the correct VMware.VirtualCenter.OperatingSystem
values. This property is for virtual provisioning.
VirtualMachine.EPI.Type
Specifies the type of external provisioning infrastructure.
EPI.Server.Name
Specifies the name of the external provisioning infrastructure
server, for example, the name of the server hosting BMC
BladeLogic. If at least one general BMC EPI agent was installed
without specifying a BMC BladeLogic Configuration Manager
host, this value directs the request to the desired server.
Opsware.Software.Install
Set to True to allow HP Server Automation to install software.
Opsware.Server.Name
Specifies the fully qualified name of the HP Server Automation
server.
Opsware.Server.Username
Specifies the user name provided when a password file in the
agent directory was created, for example opswareadmin. This
user name requires administrative access to the HP Server
Automation instance.
Opsware.BootImage.Name
Specifies the boot image value as defined in HP Server
Automation for the 32-bit WinPE image, for example winpe32.
The property is not required when provisioning by cloning.
