vCenter VM From Template Deployment Path Attributes
The following attributes would be used to define the vCenter VM From Template:
Attribute | vCenter shell version | Description |
---|---|---|
Cloud Provider | All | Name of the vCenter cloud provider resource to be used |
vCenter Template | All | Path to the vCenter template to use in the virtual machine's creation. Path is relative to the datacenter and must include the template name, for example: My-Templates/Template1 |
Behavior During Save | All | (Applies to the Save and Restore paid add-on) The VM's state while the sandbox is being saved. Options are Remain Powered On and Power Off.
Notes
|
Saved Sandbox Storage | All | (Applies to the Save and Restore paid add-on) During the saving process, CloudShell creates a clone of the sandbox's App VMs in this vCenter storage, which CloudShell will later use to restore the VM when the user restores the saved sandbox. See Save a Sandbox for more information. For storage purposes, these VM clones can be stored in a different data storage than the one configured in the VM Storage attribute defined on the vCenter cloud provider resource. The storage can be either a datastore or a datastore cluster. For example: datastore1 or clustername/datastore1. note Setting a value in the App template’s attribute will override the value in the Saved Sandbox Storage attribute on the vCenter resource. See Add VMware vCenter Cloud Provider Resource. |
Customization Spec | 2nd Gen only | Name of the vSphere VM Customization Specification to apply to the App's VM. |
Hostname | 2nd Gen only | (Only applies to Windows and Linux VMs) The hostname to set on the VM. note If Customization Spec is specified, the value specified in the Hostname attribute will be used. If Customization Spec is not specified, a new one will be created for the VM. For Windows VMs, make sure to specify a password in the App resource page |
Private IP | 2nd Gen only | (Only applies to Windows and Linux VMs) The private static IP to set on the first vNIC of the VM. If there's a default gateway, specify it after the private IP. For example: "192.168.4.124:80.114.1.87" where 80.114.1.87 is the default gateway Notes
