Hi,
I'm trying to pass some custom properties into guest agent in vRA 7.2.
I found it's very straightforward at first, based on this document. I put the following properties into a property group and assign to my test blueprint.
Vrm.DataCenter.Location = ABC
VirtualMachine.Admin.UseGuesetAgent = true
VirtualMachine.Customize.WaitComplete = true
VirtualMachine.Software0.Name = Download Test Script
VirtualMachine.Software0.ScriptPath = /bin/curl --output /tmp/test.sh http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/test.sh
VirtualMachine.Software1.Name = Execute Test Script
VirtualMachine.Software1.ScriptPath = /tmp/test.sh {Vrm.DataCenter.Location}
The test.sh script is basically take input argument, put it into a temp file:
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo $1 > /tmp/test.txt
After my request succeed, I checked /tmp/test.txt, the content is:
{Vrm.DataCenter.Location}
I was expect see ABC in the file.
Then I checked the workitem.xml file under /usr/share/gugent/site, the content is all lower case:
<property name="virtualmachine.software1.scriptpath" value="/tmp/test.sh {Vrm.DataCenter.Location}"/>
<property name="vrm.datacenter.location" value="ABC"/>
Then I changed the value of my argument for VirtualMachine.Software1.ScriptPath to:
VirtualMachine.Software1.ScriptPath = /tmp/test.sh {vrm.datacenter.location}
Then I got the lower case variable name in my file:
{Vrm.DataCenter.Location}
Is there anyone having the same issue? Or I am missing some step to turn on the elevator?
I have trying different thing, but none of them worked. I am stuck on this for a whole day now. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
