Configure Dynamic Specifications for vCenter

VMware vCenter uses custom specifications to store licensing and domain information settings to apply to virtual machines. CA Server Automation enables you to specify existing custom specifications or to create new specifications to apply to the machines that are used in service templates.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Administration, and in the Configuration, Provisioning menu, select Service Provisioning.
2. Click + (New) in the Dynamic Custom Specification toolbar.
3. Specify a Name, the Operating System it applies to, and indicate whether this specification is the Default Specification.
4. To use an existing VMware specification or create one, take one of the following actions:
   • Select an existing VMware Customization Specification from the drop-down list, and click Finish.
   • Click Next, specify the owner, licensing, domain, and other details for a new specification, and click Finish.

   The specification is added to the list of specifications available to apply to machines in service templates.
