Trudging along, installing and configuring vCAC at a customer, and I keep forgetting half of the custom properties that I need to accomplish my mission.
I figured that if I always have to keep in referring to the documentation to get the actual names for various elements, I can't be the only one.
So, I figured I'd post the most frequently used vCAC / vRA Custom Properties during a regular configuration in this post, even if it's for my own use.
Custom Property | Description / Type |
---|---|
VirtualMachine.CDROM.Attach | Boolean - True / False |
VirtualMachine.Admin.ThinProvision | Boolean - True / False |
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.ProfileName | Name of the Network Profile from which to assign IP Addresses etc, where N is the index of the NIC in the zero-based array. |
VirtualMachine.Admin.UseGuestAgent | Boolean - True / False |
VirtualMachine.DiskN.Size | Size of the Disk in Gigabytes, where N is the index of the disk in the zero-based array. |
VMware.VirtualCenter.OperatingSystem | The vCenter SDK identifier for Operating Systems. Check my previous post for most information on this value. |
VMware.VirtualCenter.Folder | The Folder Name (in vCenter) in which to provision VMs. If this folder does not exist, vCAC will create it. |
Hostname | Set this to "Prompt User" to ensure that the user enters a name for the VM when requesting. |
