naming a host vm during provisioning

[nuz1]

Good morning/evening everyone,

So, in VRA 7, I can get the virtual machines named using the prefix way, no problem. But how do you get the actual virtual machine names changed? So when a user requests a VM from the catalog, during provisioning the VM's actual name needs to be changed also to be the same thing as the business group's prefix.

Any help?

thanks.

Hello nuz1,

By actual virtual machine name, do you mean the computers hostname? This would be handled using the Guest Customization template with the option "Use the virtual machine name":

vSphere 6.0 Documentation Center

This customization specification is referenced in the vRA blueprint using the property CloneSpec.
