Support for Machine Profile Workflow in VMware vSphere

CLOUD STATUS

    Now Available
Citrix Provisioning

When you create a catalog to provision machines using Machine Creation Services (MCS) in VMware environments, you can now use a machine profile to capture properties such as tags, folder ID, and vSAN storage policy, from a virtual machine and apply them to the newly provisioned VMs in the catalog. This feature avoids the need to specify the properties individually. When the MachineProfile parameter is not used, the properties are not captured from the master image VM. You can also overwrite some of the provisioning scheme parameters such as CPU and memory configuration, folder ID, and subnet that are captured by machine profile.

The feature is only supported on VMware vSphere versions 6.7 and 7.0.
