Customizing the Property Group

A property group contains a list of parameters that are applied to the VM when you initialize a new vRA request. Using the properties, you can specify the type of record to create in NIOS when provisioning a VM, the desired DNS view in NIOS where DNS records should be created, and so on. For properties descriptions, see Appendix B Infoblox IPAM Properties.

The “Infoblox-Default” property group is created automatically after the execution of the Setup Wizard workflow at Plug-In setup. For information, see Performing the Basic Plug-In Setup. The default property group contains predefined default values that are applicable to most configurations. You can either use the default Infoblox property group as is or customize it to meet your particular requirements.

To customize the default Infoblox property group:

1. In vRealize Automation, click Administration –> Property Dictionary –> Property Groups.
2. Select the “Infoblox-Default” property group and click Edit.
3. Modify the values of the properties according to your needs.
   
4. Click OK.

Alternatively, you can create a custom Infoblox property group and use it instead of the default one for designing a blueprint. For information about creating a custom property group, see Create Property Group Workflow.
